Featured review
Gator Green is the fourth Jim Van Bebber short film in the extras on Arrow's excellent blu-ray release of the cult classic "Deadbeat by Dawn", it is also the most recent by nineteen years. Some crazy Vietnam veterans have a bar on a Florida alligator farm. A hippy looking drug dealer and his girlfriend go there to sell some gear but are kidnapped and fed to the 'gators. Apparently this was intended to be a feature length movie but fourteen minutes is all that it came to, and a fun and gory 14 minutes it is too! Van Babber once again acts as well as directs, in the commentary option he is keen to point out that real alligators were used, no rubber one or CGI, and in some scenes they do get VERY close! He also had to stunt double the one girl because he was the only one on set that could drive the VW Beetle because it had a gear stick, and despite what the other review claims blackface was NOT used, the actor was of mixed race. My least favourite of the four JVB shorts but still enjoyable.
