Years after two 30 foot prehistoric crocodiles are captured and killed in Maine, the local sheriff teams up with an EPA agent, a female Fish and Wildlife agent and a big game hunter, to kill four blood-thirsty offspring of the original killer crocs.
Viewers get three times the crocodile action in this low-budget sequel to 1999's horror-comedy Lake Placid. John Schneider is the small-town sheriff investigating a string of attacks on swimmers in the same lake that played host to the monster croc in the previous picture; Cloris Leachman is the blithely amoral sister to Betty White's character, who shares her sibling's penchant for nurturing the beasts. Shot in Bulgaria (which accounts for some of the bit players' accents) and released Stateside on The Sci-Fi Channel, Lake Placid 2's won't win over fans of the first picture, which at least offered a few laughs and chills; this film's chief virtue are the bloody attacks and a touch of skin from the supporting players. Otherwise, it's a minefield of leaden dialogue and performances (Schneider and Leachman are fine, but the cast of teen victims are dreadful, save Alicia Ziegler), and the CGI crocs look threadbare at best. Undiscerning horror fans looking for a few camp laughs may be the picture's best audience. --Paul Gaita

Summary: Most people don't get this film.
Comment: Most people watch this movie and expect a sci-fi drama flick. They are way off base. While the writers and directors may have intended to produce a sci-fi classic, they produced an accidental comedy, and its HILARIOUS. I wouldn't buy it, but I rewinded a few parts to laugh hysterically. Its fantastic. Instant classic.

The scene in which the guy gets his arm bitten off is comedy GOLD.

Summary: Which Is Scarier, Cloris Leachman Or A Giant Crocodile?
Comment: "Lake Placid 2" is a more boring version of the original featuring former "Dukes of Hazzard" star John Schneider, a gigantic CGI crocodile, and Cloris Leachman as the local crazy lady (replacing Betty White from the original). This made in Bulgaria flick tries to re-create the frights and good humor of the original, but largely falls short.

Most of the acting is wooden, with Schneider turning in the best of the performances, although the beautiful Sarah Lafleur does her best as the Fish and Game Administration agent and love interest. The highlight is seeing Leachman acting insane and following in White's footsteps in encouraging the flourishing fauna in Lake Placid.

The crocodile is onscreen quite a bit and the CGI varies from acceptable to really bad. The crocodile serves as a substitute for plot; the story ambles on very predictably (especially if you saw the original), with occasional stabs at humor and titillation interspersed throughout.

On balance, "Lake Placid 2" is an unneeded sequel, and while there are certainly many better creatures-gone-wild movies, Leachman and numerous ridiculous situations make this watchable once through for fans of brainless camp films.

Summary: Yup, it was sold to cable.....
Comment: I can see why the Sci-Fi channel bought it, they generally want movies the studios are embrassed to have made and then show to test audiences and get such neagtive feedback on them that it's impossible to release them in theaters.


This is your typical Godzilla type movie. Gore, nudity, terrible acting, and largely a B-Movie type ending to call it quits. This movie is so bad, it could not even get a film rating.

Summary: Do not mistake this for a movie!
Comment: This is not even classified as a movie, it is just a piece of garbage put into DVD form.
It is a complete embarassment to the first, which i found quite well done. The fx are worse than a play station 1 video game, the acting is grotesque and so on and so forth. THe lake doesn't even look the same as the first one! The only part that was worth watching was the topless swimming, but that wasn't even real great. I would give this 0 stars but unfortuneately i can't.
Stay clear of this croc infested DVD, save your money and go buy the first one.

Summary: 2.3 stars.......good for a rainy day
Comment: Not bad , not as good as the original. It seems they ran out of money to
polish off the CGI effects... I rented this version, cause ive seen so
many more bad movies than this one.
Could have been much better... great for a rainy day.
