- TriviaRoger Corman approached the SyFy channel with an idea for a sequel, which they turned down for fear of it being a total bomb, so Corman scrapped it until 2007 when it was reintroduced as a new film called Supergator, which he produced. as well as the 2010 sequel to both films, Dinocroc vs. Supergator.
- GoofsIn the film's opening title sequence, the newspaper snippets say "archaeologist" when in actuality it is paleontologists, not archaeologists, who deal with fossil crocodiles.
- Quotes
Dr. Campbell: What about the one that escaped?
Paula Kennedy: You said yourself these specimen have a limited lifespan
Dr. Campbell: Oh, we don't know that for sure. There's been progress with each successive test. There's no reason not to expect this one to reach full maturity.
Paula Kennedy: I've got some calls to make.

Featured review
After a 100-million-year-old dinosaur, related to our present-day crocodile, is discovered a corporation by the name of "Gereco" decides to conduct genetic research using its DNA to stimulate growth. As it so happens the experiment is a complete success until one of their specimens escapes and begins consuming everything in its vicinity. However, rather than alerting the authorities the Gereco company decides to keep everything top secret in the hope that they can somehow contain the damage themselves. Now, rather than reveal any more of the story and risk spoiling the film for those who haven't seen it, I will just say that this movie was pretty much what I expected from a Roger Corman film in that it had a definite B-movie quality to it. The acting wasn't that good, and the CGI could have used some improvement as well. But Jane Longenecker (as "Diane Harper") was certainly cute and even though it was mostly predictable there were a few surprises here and there which managed to keep my interest for the most part. I especially liked the suspense toward the end. In any case, while I don't consider this to be a good movie by any means I suppose it wasn't terribly bad either and so I rate it as just slightly below average.
