UniMas, which was previously TeleFutura, often shows silly movies which are high on action/adventure but low on...um...Oscar-winning cinematography. If it ain't a Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme film, it's a TV movie from Syfy. As a fan of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," I was riffing on "Komodo vs. Cobra" like Mike, Crow & Servo. But since that show was on Syfy, maybe that's why this movie tried to take itself seriously, coming off like it was a Vietnam War film, not something exploitive like "Sharktopus." 1st of all, lemme describe the plot. 2 bigass monsters blah blah blah government/military experiment & conspiracy blah blah blah determined band of good-looking, 2-D survivors blah blah systematic yet not-too-gross deaths by monster blah blah blah final monster letdown - ahem - showdown...the end. Funny that I mention "survivors" as Jerri from "Survivor" is in the cast; that's the only recognizable thespian in this movie (except for that guy from "Eddie & the Cruisers"). Oh yes, there's another actress named Renee Talbert, who I thought was Summer Glau but only looks like her. (Good thing Glau avoided this crud.) Also, I'd describe "Komodo vs. Cobra" as a movie that would've been cooler as an exploitation monster movie but is instead a wimpy family-friendly film. Yes, you see beautiful actresses in paradise. But they don't do a gratuitous scene bathing or frolicking in a lagoon. The only girly thing they do is scream near the monsters & act frightened while the men shoot infinite bullets @ 'em, including tough "survivor" Jerri & Michelle Borth, who actually was packing heat a little earlier in the movie. It was like watching "MST3K: King Dinosaur," which also had bad special effects, uninteresting characters, & some sexist undertones. There was lazy violence & nonexistent gore. The victims were eaten in one swift gulp & swallowed w/o chewing like in cartoons. & I think KvC relied almost entirely on CGI; not a prosthetic dismembered limb in sight. & only one guy had full make- up. But of course, major props to the two men in uniform who did not go to Kauai (I assume it was shot there) but stayed in Hollywood moving about in the same building talking their mouths off about military nonsense & how the conspiracy's playing out. Oh. Have I mentioned the stock footage of non-American planes? At least the number of stock footage was minimal compared to earlier movies I saw on MST3K (e.g. "Invasion USA"). To summarize, "Komodo vs. Cobra" is a cookie-cutter B-movie - TV-movie, pardon me - that's better watched in Spanish so I don't need to learn the abhorrent storyline. And a favor for all you MSTies out there: please watch this crappy film a few times & compose a few pages of riffs and broadcast it on YouTube or RiffTrax. Don't let the Mads win!

Watched this film with friends, got drunk, cool evening!The story takes place on some random island inhabited by a giant Komodo and a supersized, swimming Cobra. A group of people, including an alcoholic sea captain and a few bimbos, one of which is a scientist, end up being stuck on this island with nowhere to run.What I found most enjoyable about this movie was the utter lack of the following: script, good acting and realism (apart from the giant creatures of course).I you are the sort of person who enjoys seeing a giant komodo run after a chick with baywatch-size knockers, this film is for you. Otherwise, you might find this movie to be somewhat of an offense to your intellect.(By the way, Jay Andrews (Wynorski or whatever this guys name is) did another film, Shockwave, with the exact same scenario, except that the cobra and komodo were replaced by alien robots, good stuff).

This is really not a review, it's more like a comment. This movie was terrible. The special effects were poorly done, it seems they used to same graphic of the cobra every time it was on screen, also I didn't know cobras were water snakes ??? And what's with the .38 caliber gun that Michael Pare was shooting at the cobra & the komodo dragon, he must've shot @ least 70 rounds (that was really fake) come on, 70 shots from a .38? Wow, he must've been using magic bullets. The only good thing about this movie was Michelle Borth (she was sexy) This same director did "the hills have thighs" which was just as terrible, but at least it had a lot of naked chicks in it, which made it more watchable. Maybe if Michelle Borth was naked in this movie, it might of been better for me to watch.

Where do I start? First off, the story sucks. The acting sucks, the effects really suck, I guess I'll start with the story. The story for Komodo vs. Cobra: number one, it doesn't explain how or when the Komodo and the cobra even got there. Or for that matter, how it was created. The acting: TERRIBLE! It seems like the director just pulled a few people from the street (which is probably what he did). And last and definitely the least, the effects: they are so horrible that the komodo doesn't even look like a komodo, just a dinosaur, that looks incredibly unrealistic. The water doesn't even move when the cobra appears. All in all: terrible piece of crap, don't even think about renting it.
