This film was pretty bad, but come on, "Rollergator", of course it is going to be horrible! This is so bad, I actually felt this film was beneath Joe Estevez's acting talents and he is not a good actor. The maker of this film apparently did Hell Comes to Frogtown which has a bit of a cult following, but this thing is nothing like it as at least it looks like a real movie. This looks like one of those films shot with a video camera, has someone just kind of puttering with a guitar as its soundtrack and a puppet dinosaur that has arms that do not move and are literally stuck on its chest. If you watch this film, you will not be having a good time!
The story, well a girl roams a carnival while Joe Estevez walks around mumbling and shouting, what he says is indecipherable due to the guitars that are constantly playing. The girl goes to the beach and at this point I am wondering what age she is supposed to be as they present her as eye candy, but she speaks like a 12 year old. She sees a ninja and then finds a cave where an annoying purple alligator is hiding from the ninja who they determine is a woman though I could not tell and they zoomed up to her, the girl on the beach had no way to determine this. Well the alligator who is annoying as all get out tells the girl how he has escaped the carnival and asks her to help him hide so she takes him to the carnival. Makes sense... Well we get karate instructors, Joe Estevez looking as if he is seriously about to snap, girls who use slingshots who are called slingshot, a rambling old man and a lot of footage of the side of the road with power lines in every shot!
Joe Estevez is the only actor I recognize, so that should tell you, you are in for such a treat! He has been in plenty of bad films over the years, but this seems even beneath him. The start of the film could be called Joe Estevez at the park as it is almost like home movies! Most people are going to want that alligator dead with more than a bit of gore to accompany its grizzly death.
So, this film was rather terrible. I caught it on Rifftrax, so at least I got some good jokes to go along with the film. I could at least hear them, I could not hear a lot of the dialog in this film due to the guitar playing constantly. Not sure why this film was made or what audience it was supposed to be targeting, but we all should be thankful that Rollergator 2 never materialized!
