My God, it must be trailer season, because the new clips are coming out of the woodwork at breakneck speed. It seems as if every post that I have made for the past week has had the words 'trailer' or 'clip' in the title.

Well, as you may have guessed, I have yet another new monster movie trailer for you. This time around it is from Jim Wynorski's human buffet, also known as, 'Dinocroc vs. Supergator'.

Prepare yourself for a minute and a half of giant reptiles making meals out of senior citizens, laboratory techs, blond hikers, tourists in loud Hawaiian shirts, army guys, hot blond scientists and hot girls with tiny bikini's.

Yes, it's "Jurassic Park" all over again, except this time, with the late David Carradine.

Though the clip is filled with all kinds of fun-loving super sized gator carnage, it is also bittersweet, due to the untimely passing of Carradine.

Oh, and when I say "Jurassic Park", I mean it. Wynorski borrowed just a few obvious ideas for scenes in this one from Spielberg.

If ya love big lizards, and who doesn't, munching down as much human sashimi as they can get their claws on. Then rejoice! "Dinocroc vs Supergator" will definitely deliver the goods.

Another Bizarre Hollywood Death: David Carradine

by Armand Vaquer

The news is buzzing with word that another bizarre Hollywood death has occurred.

Actor David Carradine was found dead in his hotel suite's wardrobe closet at the Swissotel Nai Lert Park in Bangkok, Thailand by a maid. He was 72.

Carradine was in Thailand making a movie when a maid found his body with a rope around his neck.

Carradine gained fame in the television series, Kung Fu in the 1970s as Kwai Chang Caine. His father, John Carradine, was an actor who starred in many movies including House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula as Count Dracula.

Carradine won a Saturn Award for best supporting actor for his role in Kill Bill: Vol. 2.

The BBC is reporting that Thai police said a hotel maid found Carradine sitting in the closet with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body in what looks to be a suicide.

Or was it? It is not uncommon for people to have accidentally killed themselves with self-asphixiation via auto-erotic activities. It is also possible that he was murdered but it was made to look like suicide. It will be interesting to see what the investigation reveals.

UPDATE (6/5/09):

ABC News is reporting:

Carradine, 72, best known for his role in the 1970s television drama "Kung Fu," was found by a chamber maid at Bangkok's Park Nai Lert Hotel naked and dead, slumped in a closet with cords bound and connecting his neck and his genitals, Bangkok police said.
