Not as bad as you might imagine, 2 March 2004
Author: dmark469 (dmark469@hotmail.com)

If you are a fan of B-grade monster movies, this one is absolutely watchable, especially Heidi Lenhart. I may not know art, but I know what I like!

The plot is stupid, the acting terrible. Continuity and production values are non-existent. The budget appears to have been the change from inside the producers' car-seats. In short, it is everything you would expect from a straight-to-video creature feature. The film succeeds on its own terms.

Some reviewers complain about the obviously ersatz crocodile, but I enjoyed this low-budget quickie more than "The Matrix Reloaded" and "Scooby-Doo" combined (two recent CGI-laden Hollywood debacles.)

You can catch this on late-night cable as "Crocodile 2: Death Roll."

What Strange Names, 14 June 2003

!!!!! SPOILERS !!!!!

There`s two things that guarantee you`re going be watching a really bad movie . One is the name Victor Salva appearing in the credits and the other is the movie starting off in a way that seems to go against the movie`s title . Take CROCODILE 2 : DEATH SWAMP , with a title like that you`d expect either a crocodile or a swamp in the opening hook wouldn`t you ? Well you`d be wrong because this film starts with a bank robbery . But it`s not just any bank , no siree , it`s a bank where all the staff and customers are named Motherf***er as in " Hand over he money Motherf***er , on the ground Motherf***er , don`t look at me Motherf***er " . One thing that puzzled me about the robbers - Apart from them knowing everyone was named Motherf***er - was that they had a broad range of accents , but it`s suggested they`re in a band . Or something . Whatever . So the robbers ( And what a great name for a band ) decide to go on tour and hijack a plane which is in extremely poor taste . Before September 11 2001 it was only bad movies that featured people hijacking planes , post 9/11 there`s something offensive about this plot line . Oh and strangely all the passengers and crew in this aircraft are also called Motherf***er . Can someone in the States send me a private message and tell me how common the name Motherf***er is ? because that seems to be the only name the characters in this film are called . After the plane crashes ( Hope I didn`t spoil any plot twists there ) the survivors start getting eaten one by one by a crocodile and guess what its name is ? That`s right it`s called Motherf***er too . You really have to worry about the screenwriters naming every single character - Human or otherwise - with the exact same name .

I do have one good thing to say about CROCODILE 2 : DEATH SWAMP and that is Heidi Lenhart looks great in a bikini

One Shocking Trivia Point : The crocodile realization in this film was achieved via a combination of CGI and a rubber dummy . I`m sure no one noticed this untill I pointed it out

Play the motherf***er game!!!, 11 October 2005

Okay, The idea is to count how many times the lead bad guy says "motherf***er". I'm telling you, it can't be done. It's the only swear word he knows. Script writing is a class act.

I always enjoy the sort of movies where the creature appears to be some form of sub-plot in the movie, you know, gang raid a bank, try to escape to Mexico, plane crashes etc, then in the last twenty minutes a crocodile arrives! What's that all about? Still For other movies where the creatures are side plots, or just barely exist, see Shark Attack and Spiders 2.

Well worth a watch if you are into trashy bad movies. It's just a bit too good to be rated in the bottom 100. The acting is only below average, the SFX almost look acceptable, and there is obviously a fair budget put behind this movie.

What To Expect.., 27 November 2004
Author: Cory Orton from Philly,PA,USA

Well, first off, DON'T expect anything amazing, and don't expect something realistic,high budgeted and great...I mean c'mon now. Thats probably the biggest problem with most movie-goers whom roam across flicks like these..they expect something so high-quality, the title alone should let you know some kind of cheese factor is involved.

I caught this 2 days ago during sci-fi channels thanksgiving movie marathon where they showed practically EVERY nu-image/ killer animal film around. I watched off and on some others but they never caught me too much, this one had an advantage for me because my favorite actor, Martin Kove was in this. As always, Kove did an excellent job with the work he was handed. No matter what quality or type of character or film he gets, he always throws out the best he can and helps his films out. Without him this wouldn't have NEARLY gotten the semi-positive review from me it is getting.

Now, this is NOTHING to scream about...its incredibly cheesy and ridiculous at times, but if you're bored and this is on TV, and low budget horror is your groove, then it can keep you occupied for the time it is on. And while the crocodile itself looked pretty lame, like I said you shouldn't expect too much from this,but nonetheless,as bad as effects were...the acting on the other hand for this grade of a movie, was VERY above average in my views. Kove,along with Heidi Leinhart and a few others, helped carry this movie up the ladder of entertainment with them giving it their all. Now, of course not everybody did a great job, and not everything was great,but like I said and will finish this off with- it can help pass the time if it is THAT boring of a day/night,and if its your type of flick.

Goofs Galore, 20 February 2003

Author: TheDimReaper from London, England

Just go find them. This film is enjoyable for that feature alone. It redefines the meaning of "B" Movie. Enjoy! When I started watching this "Masterpiece of Mayhem", it was with open eyes and a heart full of expectations. I did and it did....NOT! Just watch it for plot holes and goofs and it becomes entertaining, the only reason for keeping one eye open.

Have fun with friends and lots of booze to see who can find the most goofs and continuity holes. The winner gets to send me a six pack!

<grin>

Without these gems where would the bottom of the IMDB lists go?

Big Croc Chomps Insignificant People, 8 May 2006

Author: patrick-green from France

Right, the plot is as follows: a plane crashes in a swamp after some weird bank robbers kill the pilot to save their loot. A pathetic bunch of survivors then tramps around the swamp with a ludicrously fake-looking croc in pursuit. O-k what's the big deal? The film certainly does not answer the description I had from the video club: "I warn you kid, this film is traumatizing", traumatizingly bad more like it. The acting was awful and the croc looked VERY fake, even faker than in the first Crocodile. But in some bits they used an animatronic crocodile and it looked pretty impressive. As for the characters, I was quite glad when the croc started to use them as chew toys, they were sickeningly pathetic. Well, in all, I say DO NOT watch this movie. If you are looking for real entertainment rent another one.

It's entertaining, 28 August 2002

Author: Jester69 from Bethlehem,PA

Why do we watch movies??? To be entertained. This is a bad movie but I had a blast watching it. A movie can have bad acting,effects,story and more but if it keeps my attention, it works!!! If you aren't looking for the next Academy Award winner and just like to be entertained, this movie will do the job. If you are someone who's just into art and good acting, stay away!!! This is for beer drinking movie night!!!!

CROCODILE 2: DEATH SWAMP

RATING: **1/2 (OUT OF ****)

How the crap do you write about a killer croc movie? Well, there's a lot of blood and human-munching I guess. But that's all some people need. And how about that lame sub-plot with the concerned boyfriend? Yech.

Had the misfortune to watch this on Sky TV. Awful acting and story line. Not worth the price of the video tape. Don't bother its totally lame.

Alright- This was one of the most awesome movies i have ever seen(on sci-fi), 4 August 2008

Author: witchsmeller-1 from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Even though it was pretty horrible, it was still awesome in the campy terrible over-acted sense of the word. Much like Skeleton man. If you like to poke fun at crappy movies, this is a goldmine. From the stereotypical angry black man(AWESOME)to the really terrible acting, this movie is hilarious. Yet, in comparison to the rest of the tripe lining the festering stomach that is sci-fi channel, i saw it as quite clear that this movie actually tried, and the effects weren't that bad (except for when the black guy gets shot out of the helicopter. All in all, this movie is your standard b-movie, and while i cannot tell you to go rent it, because it is not a groundbreaking b-movie like Plan nine from outer space, if you see it on sci-fi channel, i would recommend watching it if you have nothing else to do. However, be warned, this movie's first prominent death (prominent meaning death by crocodile) is a black man, which i found to be an unnecessary death.
