In the scene where Nikki and a group of animal rights protesters picket in front of the park ranger station, one of the protesters can be seen wearing an Electric Youth-era Debbie Gibson t-shirt and another wearing a Tiffany "Hold an Old Friends Hand" Album Tour Shirt.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The premise of the story is to have the Mega Python and Gatoriod fighting each other, however they team up on humans.

Quotes:

[Park rangers Terry and Angie are giving the public an advisory on the sudden outbreak of pythons in the Everglades]
Terry:Pythons can lay up to 100 eggs per clutch, so, there might be a lot of them...
Nikki:Ranger! Ranger!
[Nikki grabs Terry's shoulder from behind]
Nikki:Please, you have got to stop this. I mean, these are living creatures. They, they can adapt and survive.
Terry:You know what, ma'am, please don't touch me!
Nikki:Ooh, somebody had 'bitch' for breakfast.
Terry:The pythons are decimating the gator population, the ocellated turkey, the wood rat. They can even take out some of the 200 panthers in the area.
Nikki:Nature can balance itself without our interference. Let them live. The pythons are at the top of the food chain. That's just the way it is. That's how it's supposed to be.
Terry:No. That's not how it is. The pythons aren't at the top of the food chain. I am. And I say we're gonna take of this problem, right now.

A little disappointing, for the movies I watch!

I like to watch movies with bad CGI, but this was horrible.

The Mega Python and Gatoroid are supposed to fight, not team up on Tiffany and Deborah Gibson and A Martinez.And whats up with all the babies, Biting, Screaming, Scrathing and thats just the GIRLS, you said that movie producer, you said that.And we don't give a **** about Tiffany and Deborah Gibsons cat fights, bring out the monsters! Alright, lets cut to the chase, the plot is good, the acting was O.K, the CGI, no.Violence was very good, but the dialogue was stupid!But the movie was a LOT better than The Terminators (he,he).

I would recommend this to any B- movie lovers so you better watch it, movie nerds, watch it.
