I witnessed this oddity at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn, on 16 May 2017.

Do you remember that scene from Brutes And Savages, where an obviously plastic crocodile puppet, with hinged jaws, allegedly chomped down on an alleged tribesman in someone's backyard swimming pool, while the supposed tribesman yelled monkey noises while being eaten? Imagine that scene stretched out to 85 minutes, and that's​ this movie.

The rubbery killer crocodiles in this very colourful film are the ghosts of reincarnated humans, amid vampires, martial arts zombies in creepy, Lucio Fulci-like make-up, and a witch with Freddy Krueger-like claws, for no apparent reason. What the hell they are doing, and why, is anyone's guess, and why a couple of scenes are played in reverse is anyone's guess, as well.

People throw fruit at the crocodile to make it go away (!) , only to have the crocodile spit it back at them in one scene (! again)

This Godfrey Ho trainwreck was publicly screened on Tuesday night, 15 May 2017, at the Alamo Drafthouse, in Brooklyn, and from a bootleg tape with Greek subtitles " for maximum confusion ", this is surely one of the most bizarre films I've ever seen in a cinema. That being said, however, I can't say that I regret watching it, because I am one of the few people to ever see this at all, let alone in a cinema.

It is my belief that this film was made an possibly released in 1981 ( which is the copyright date on the screened print ) but then Godfrey Ho did his usual cut-and-paste re-edit to it, and rereleased it years later, which explains its varying year of release.

I didn't even mention the floating cushion god, hovering above in one shot, or the bizarre, video game- like music blasting away on the soundtrack

OK, so it's not Battleship Potemkin

This movie is a mind blower, I saw a DVD version from Cult Action and it is second only to "Robo Vampire" in terms of over the top craziness. Crocodiles that can elevate like a 19 year old Michael Jordan to chomp locals..women who turn into crocs after they make out with their boyfriend and 'Bunny Hopping' Vampires. If I can recall, the plot centers around Vampires and Crocodiles teaming up to take revenge on man, maybe it was all the hang bags and belts. Phase two, take over Sea World. Not the one near San Diego, but one that exists in a supernatural ocean. If your looking for 'something completely different" from Hong Kong...this is your flick. Rating based on a Psycho-tronic scale, not the one they used at the New York Times...
