"Komodo vs. Cobra" is a 2005 film directed by Jim Wynorski. It is considered to be Wynorski's remake of his 2004 film "Curse of the Komodo", with several similar elements (experimentation gone awry, father-daughter team, government attempt to bomb things, the ending, komodo's behaviors, etc.).

Plot

A team of environmental reporters charters a boat and goes to investigate an island where they suspect a group is up to some illegal activities. Upon arrival, however, they find no-one. They finally track down Dr. Susan Richardson, who tells them that everyone on the island is dead, including her father. Richardson's team were working on a compound that could make edible plants grow to super size, however the military intervened with plans of their own. They wanted to test the compound's effects on animals, and proceeded to feed it to several komodo dragons and cobras.

As a result, both species grew to an enormous size and began to devour everything on the island, including the humans. The group, the doctor, and the boat captain must escape the island, avoiding the huge creatures. The mutated creatures pick off members of the group one at a time, and when the last few survivors make it to the helicopter to leave, the komodo and the cobra begin to fight each other. The group uses the distraction to board the helicopter and flee. Both the komodo and the cobra are killed in a militarial attack on the island.

At the end of the movie, a scientist who had escaped the komodo, reawakened from the dead with reptilian characteristics such as glowing green eyes and a forked tongue.
