Khoht phetchakhaat, aka The Brutal River (2005 - Thailand), directed by Anat Yuangngern. You'd think after The Python I would have learned my lesson about jungle-oriented giant animal movies from places with real jungles, but I couldn't resist this giga-gator story-- until, that is, I started to watch it. The absence of subtitles was actually a plus, but I still realized in less than five minutes that it was a typical Asian love story movie with a big critter in it. So I just sped through to the end, going in for the literal kill. And it was pretty funny: the jilted boyfriend saves his best friend (the new boyfriend) by jumping into the river with a hand grenade and throwing himself in the path of the zooming gator. Not since the exploding whale has there been such a mess o' meat-chunks. No available DVD in the U.S. (no loss), but the website is nice-looking, and takes a lot less time than the film.
