[edit] Background
After Corman produced Dinocroc in 2004, he wanted to create a sequel to be named Dinocroc 2. However, Sci-Fi Channel turned down the project after claiming that sequels did not do well for them.[1] Corman decided to go ahead with the project, but under the name Supergator.[2]
[edit] Plot
Professor Scott Kimsy (Brad Johnson) is an American geologist monitoring a local volcano when the Supergator, a Deinosuchus recreated from fossilized, preserved DNA escapes from a secret bio-engineering research center/laboratory. Along the way, it eats many people, including two lovers, three drunken teens, three models, two tourists and a fisherman. It also eats Alexandra Stevens, (Mary Stiefvater) and Ryan Houston (Josh Kelly)
Kinney joins forces with another scientist (McGillis) and a Texan alligator hunter (Colton). They pursue the monster as it heads down river intent on destroying a luxurious resort packed with hundreds of tourists. Guns and other weapons have no effect on it at all, so they plan a trap for it using a fake volcano. They lure him on to it, with the Texan alligator hunter as live bait. Supergator gets him and is blown up with poisonous gas, strong flames and a shotgun.

[edit] Sequel
In 2010, Corman produced a third film in the series entitled Dinocroc vs. Supergator. It aired on Syfy June 26, 2010, the film was directed by Jim Wynorski and starred David Carradine and John Callahan. It featured the two crocodilians, which battled at the climax of the film. Dinocroc and Supergator received a lot of look upgrades, such as Supergator looking more like a real Deinosuchus, and Dinocroc looking more like a real Suchomimus. At the end of the film, in a warehouse, some baby reptile screeches are heard, hinting that another sequel will come too.
