Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Continuity: The Navy F-14's are shown alternately making an attack run with their tail-hooks down, and then without. (Realistically, carrier aircraft would never make bombing runs with their tail hooks down anyway.) more
Quotes:
Dr. Dawn Porter: Looks like our serum really works Professor! The valence readings are up almost 600%. I mean they're off the charts! The growth potential here is enormous!
Prof. Nathan Phipps: Listen, I want you and Becky to get back here as soon as possible. With that kind of exponential reaction there's no telling what kind of mutations have occurred. We run the risk of a complete molecular breakdown.

Hilarious!, 4 December 2005
1/10
Author: straight_shooter_18 from Cairo

I just have to comment on this movie! I actually watched it with 2 of my friends and we couldn't help laugh at every single scene in it. Its a disaster as an action movie, but as a comedy this movie is an A-class one...There are just too many plot holes, you don't know where to start, and the komodo looks much like a clay lizard incorporated in the movie using stop motion animation. It just runs after the characters and they keep shooting at it (with unlimited clips in their guns by the way). When the characters are stuck in a corner, it will stand at a distance and enjoy the line of fire as bullets Pierce its scales, but if they are running away and shooting at it, it continues to run after them for some reason and the bullet holes never appear in its scales yet again for some reason and then a zombie appears at the end of the movie and you have no idea where it came from or what the hell its doing in the movie!!....Just take it from me, if you are ridiculously bored or drunk, gather some friends and watch this movie....for the laughs, and for the breasts scene!
