Made for Sci-Fi and starring Danica McKellar, Tasmania Devils is not a bad movie at all. Unfortunately it suffers from a lack of really fun gore and boobs, due to being a made for TV movie. But Winnie Cooper dressed in the tightest fitting park ranger uniform they could find helps elevates things. Oh yeah, she also does a very good job as the lead in helping carry the movie.
So a bunch of 20 something base jumpers fly out to Devils Peak, or whatever it's called, that big mountain in the middle of nowhere in Australia. Amusingly, as they fly in we see nothing but rock and sand, because it's the middle of the desert. But when the first jumper jumps, he jumps right into a forest, which.....I've never base jumped, but I don't think a forest is the ideal landing ground. Anyhoo, he ends up down in a cave where the rest of the group discovers that some sort of ancient animal is on the loose.
A group of 3 park rangers, including McKellar, head out to arrest the cliff jumpers and from there it turns into a chase and kill, and hide and meet cute type of film you'd expect.
The silly parts are pretty fun, including a hideously CGI'd monster that looks more like a baby dinosaur, and a gaggle of dumb plans and schemes to escape the monsters. The dialog and the acting are more than good enough to sort of keep you into the story. And as I said earlier, Danica does fine job of carrying the film with decent acting and deliciously sweaty breasts.
Nowhere near mind numbingly insulting as a lot of Sci-Fi fare, but still silly enough, with a good cast and script that moves things along, it's not great but it's not that bad either.
