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 Cold-blooded terror awaits just below the surface of this fast-paced and funny action thriller that delivers twice the jolts, scares and bite of the original! Suspecting that another giant croc has begun to wreak havoc on the populace, Lake Placid's easygoing Sheriff, James Riley (Schneider) and a beautiful Fish and Wildlife agent Emma Warner (LaFleur), must form an uneasy alliance with a cocky big-game hunter (McMurray) and his guide (Joe Holt) to capture the beast. Meanwhile Riley's rebellious young son Scott (Chad Collins) sets out on a lake-side camping trip with the locals - including a hottie named Kerrie (Alicia Ziegler) - and finds he has to fight for his life or become the crocodile's next meal. But only crazy, croc-loving Sadie Bickerman (Leachman) knows that these predators have multiplied and are determined to consume the whole town...one bite at a time! Review: Lunch Time - Lake Placid is very exciting and has plenty of thrills with the ups and downs. Wanting to have his lunch who can blame him. The suspense is gripping with the edge of the seat entertainment that you expect from a crocodile that lays in wait for the next victim. He needs to be fatten up not that he needs it and when the idiots go swimming who can you blame, not the poor crocodile surely. But if no-one went swimming, I suppose there would be no Lake Placid for us to look forward to. The cast make it great with their acting plus the storyline is not bad either, It's entertaining keeping you intrigued with the movie not knowing what's next around the corner, I'll let you in on a secret, The crocodile deserves a medal with his intelligence of surprises. Wonderful night for this show so go collect your popcorn and sit awhile, rest and relax put your feet up for some great entertainment from guess who. Enjoy! Review: DVD - I just wanted to thank you for the great movie that I purchased. I loved watching the movie. Thank you.

Reasonable Sequel, Almost a Remake
With an all-new cast one has to wonder what happened since the events of the first film. In the first film there were two giant crocodiles and one of them was captured alive at the end. And yet in this film there is only the slightest of rumors that a giant crocodile existed. We have a new Sheriff and Game Warden. The croc groupie has been replaced by a hunter. Betty White's wonderful character mysteriously disappeared and has been replaced by a sister (Cloris Leachman). Add a bunch of youngsters (mostly to increase the body count) and some gratuitous nudity (also supplied by the youngsters) you get almost the same film. A researcher is killed right at the beginning and that prompts the beginning of the search. Soon it is obvious that a croc is in the lake and the body count begins to rise. Although the film pulls some of the same stunts and follows the same basic plot, there are a number of changes (some good and some bad). All in all it seemed a little too much like a remake and too little like a sequel. I find it hard to believe that a giant croc was removed from the lake and transported in plain sight in the first movie and there is no knowledge of it in the second. As a remake it is a fun movie. As a sequel it is just the same thing again with no new developments. If you like giant croc films then you will probably want to see this one.

Strictly For Laughs, Do Not Take Seriously
My disc certainly has special features, three featurettes, ‘Sex, Guns, and Croc-n-Roll,’ the making of the film; ‘Surviving a Crocodile Attack,’ real safety tips illustrated with scenes from the film; and best of all, ‘Lake Placid 2: The “Gnawed Up” Version,’ which fast forwards through everything but the croc attacks and the topless scenes. Just like real folks do at home. As for the film, it is strictly for fun. What I call a summer movie. Check your brains at the door and plunge right in to Lake Placid for a gator of a good time!

Lake placid 2 movie
I loved the movie it was wonderful and was scary not for kids under 18 years of age due to there being nudity in the movie

Decent horror flick
This had more comedy than actual horror. If you were looking for an actual remake to 1 this isn’t it. Lake placid was far better.

Disappointing
I am unable to watch this movie as it is the wrong region. For some reason it won't play on my Multi-Region DVD Player either. Still says wrong region. Ordering and delivery were fine though.

Film approuvé par Calixto Farquet
Bien que ce film ne mérite pas un oscar et que les effet visuel du crocodile ne soit pas à la hauteur comparé au premier opus de cette saga. avec un scripte basique. j'approuve qu'ils aient essayer de faire une suite, mais je n'approuve pas le résulta
