Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: CROCODILE

Thai filmmaker Sompote Sands returns to the show, and this time it's not an Ultraman rip-off! Instead it's a "Jaws" rip-off called "Crocodile"!

It's too bad the 70's never gave us a "Crocodile vs. The Great Alligator" crossover.

[@randytessman6750]

Damn brother another movie I saw in theatre ....It shows we are both Canadian and am a little older then you 55......lol

[@Giganotoraptor2014]

Hi

[@arie735]

Lol here’s a fun fact for you Brandon Godfrey Ho’s last movie is a animated one called Ali baba and the gold raiders and it’s bad really really bad.

[@alexgeorge501]

Now i wanna see "Dragon Ball-The Magic Begins"

[@sweetsalvamami]

Brandon isn’t your Godzilla Stalker gonna come back in till you complete the Godzilla Series and you even said Godzilla in this video please Brandon we need more Godzilla as well (here some movies you miss Gojira (1954) a.k.a Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Godzilla Raids Again, Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster, All Monster Attack a.k.a Godzilla’s Revege and the other Millinum Godzilla Movies) PLEASE DO DOES MOVIES

Telling the difference between an alligator and a crocodile is easy. One will see you later, and the other will see you after a while.

[@savedbythebelldeepdives]

Whenever I see a side-by-side comparison of a crocodile and an alligator I think: "Oh, so that's the difference." And then I forget. Stupid nature. (Or stupid me...?)

[@almightycinder]

It's the nose shape. I can tell them apart, but I never remember which is which.

[@chadharger9323]

​@@almightycindercrocodile snouts are more narrow than an alligator.

[@gregwasserman2635]

Alligator - broad, rectangular snout Crocodile - triangular snout Gharial - long, skinny snout Camian -see crocodile

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Your not the only one.

[@gojinnkuu]

Alligator starts with A: their snout is rounded like a C. Crocodile starts with C: their snout is pointed like an A. That's how I have been remembering since I was in 1st grade.

Alligator is one of my favorite movies!!!

[@xkumanekox]

Watching Brandon's reviews is like going on a RIPOFF world tour. We've seen so many Turkish, Italian, Thai, Korean, and Indonesian knockoffs on this channel over the years. Truly a multicultural experience.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

South Korea used to make a lot of mockbusters until the mid 1990s, when it slowed that mockbuster trend down and became known for helluva crazy K dramas instead.

[@xkumanekox]

​@@SlapstickGenius23 sounds like a similar situation with the Indonesian exploitation scene back in the day. During the 80s, Indonesia had a big boom with locally made exploitation films, e.g. Lady Terminator and this one Hellcats-inspired post apocalypse motorcycle gang movie I saw one time (forgot the title). Unfortunately it didn't last long some time during the 90s because of the Indonesian economy crashing. This is from what I've read years ago, but if any Indonesians can confirm this, that'll be super helpful.

[@Vicerion17]

Aww I was so looking forward to Hanuman appearing and wrestling some crocs. Also fun fact: You can tell crocs apart from gators by a pair of bottom teeth that protrude out around the top jaw while their mouths are closed, while gators do not. Not to mention alligators only exist in the Southern US and Southern China...

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Now all we need is Hanuman throwing barrels at the crocodile while both of them are on a pirate ship (Donkey Kong vs. King K. Rool)

[@legionbeast]

Here is a shorthand for hot to tell a Gator from a Croc: -Does it have frog-like eyes on the top of it's head? Yes? Alligator. -Does it look like it's armored like a goddamn tank? Yes? Crocodile.

[@agentepolaris4914]

Also alligators have a shorter face

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Also, crocodiles are bigger than alligators, and crocs are more aggressive and likely to attack you than gators.

[@MichaelPoage666]

Did anybody catch Brandon's "I'm tired and I want to go to bed" line? It's a reference to the song the guys are singing when they get drunk in "Jaws."

[@FreemanPetrowski]

Yes we are fans of movies on this channel. Haha sorry for being a total ass about it but yes I think at least most people who watched the whole video noticed that joke

[@Runeinc]

I've heard of jumping the shark, but crocadile jumping the boat? That's a new one!

[@AgentofLADON]

People are always complaining about when things jump the shark. But once I saw this old show called Happy Days, and a dude literally jumped over a shark. Greatest thing I've ever seen.

[@randytessman6750]

Laugh all you will but so remember this movie because of seeing it multiple times in theatre. Now part of that was Saturday matinees having a triple bill and the balcony where you were allowed to smoke cigarettes (wink, wink). The things we did in the early 80s in a public buildings weren't actually legal till few years ago but all those smokers were good camouflage back then.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

Tanaka should've told a story about how he was one of the guys that sunk the U.S.S. Indianapolis. AKOM is also the name of a South Korean animation studio that got fired from Batman: The Animated Series for doing subpar work.

[@dustinarmstrong1168]

And also did a good chunk of the work on Season 3 of Transformers G1. Including what many consider to be the worst episode of the series, Carnage in C-Minor.

[@jasongoestohell]

I bought that same Blu-ray Brandon! LOL! I first saw this on VHS as a kid back in the 80s! That poster art on the VHS cover looked so cool! Watching it now on HD as an adult, I now recognize how horribly edited this was like you said! However, that special edition Blu-ray has a very informative audio commentary by Lee Gambin who recently passed away and did audio commentaries for other creature features like KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS and EMPIRE OF THE ANTS which I also hope you can do reviews on too! 😊

[@darkdan3549]

The crocodile animatronic ended up at a Rainforest Cafe LOL

Wow, that’s still awesome! Probably one of the few redeeming qualities of this Thai Mockbuster movie.

[@aaronschaefer4167]

[@dareka9425]

The crocodile's inconsistent size is ironically fitting when it comes to eye witness accounts in stressful situations. Some might guess correctly but most might get the size exaggerated. Just a couple of months ago a man was snatched by a crocodile not far from my village, in the same river where my church baptized some kids. A colleague who followed the event said the crocodile was reported by the dead guy wife as too be the size of a door. Sounds about right. Then she clarified it was the crocodile's HEAD that was the size of a door. I called BS on that because afaik no modern crocodile has ever been reported to be of that size. To be fair...I'm a horrible at measuring things so I might in the wrong, too. Even when I'm visualizing things with a ruler right in front of me, like the size of a 3D print project, I still get either a final product that is too small or far larger than I wanted.

[@tskmaster3837]

I've read a lot of reviews of this movie on places like Jabootu and AYCYAS, and their descriptions couldn't capture the complete insanity of this flick. The crocodile would return to acting when it starred in "Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus".

Saltwater or Estuarine Crocodiles (salties to Australians) are not the only crocodile comfortable in seawater. The American Crocodile is also highly tolerant of seawater, which does help explain it's wide range.

Cassius, an Australian saltwater crocodile, is the largest crocodile in captivity at 5.48 m (17 ft 11.75 in) (Guinness Book of Records). In Burundi there's also a man-eating crocodile called Gustave that could be more than 20 feet long and is rumored to have killed between 60 and 300 people.

[@nerdrocker89]

Crocodiles do actually have glowing reddish eye, look it up, so that's one detail they actually got right.

True, but that is just the camera, light, and the animal's own eyes interacting with each other in interesting ways. There are even photos or pictures of humans having glowing red eyes.
