Josh Morgan While the first movie was no masterpiece - it at least TRIED to be entertaining. This Tobe Hooper-less sequel finds a bevy of plane crash survivors who are hunted by killer crocs. I'd go on further, but a self-defense mechanism kicked in (meaning - my brain erased the memory of watching this immediately after completion). Hey, at least I'm honest - which is more than can be said for the producers. There's not even a crocodile in the film! Just the occasional close up of a snout and tail. From the director of the far superior Spiders (the 2001 movie - NOT the remake). This is one of those straight to video titles that helped put Trimark out of business (hence their catalog is now being distributed by Lions Gate).
SeaHorseMafia So, this is one of the stupidest movies ever. It has a lot of plot holes, stupid characters, horrible effects and lame quotes. But maybe it was meant to be silly... I mean, like the part at the end when the crocodile jumps out of the water and drags a helicopter down! C'Mon that was intentionally silly.. I hope. It doesn't make any sense, and by the way, the black guy is a Samuel L. Jackson ripoff! He even says: I'm tired of these ******* crocodiles! My god that was an insult.Well, to sum it up, it's one the worst movies i have seen, but I had a lot of fun watching it. I laughed a lot, and if you just want to watch something brainless, pick this pile of dog crap.
BA_Harrison A failed hijack attempt by a group of armed criminals goes horribly wrong, causing the plane to crash into a crocodile infested South American swamp. A small handful of crew and passengers crawl from the wreckage, but are horrified to discover that several of the hijackers have also survived the disaster. Forced at gunpoint to carry the bad guys' luggage (which is stuffed full of stolen cash), the group trudge through the murky waters, all the while stalked by a huge hungry reptile. Meanwhile, Zach (Chuck Walczak), boyfriend of pretty stewardess survivor Mia (Heidi Lenhart), hires local tracker Roland (Martin Kove) to help him find his woman.After the massive disappointment that was Tobe Hooper's Crocodile, I really wasn't expecting much (if anything) from a sequel, especially after reading some of the disparaging comments here on IMDb; but knock me down with a rubber reptile and call me Steve Irwin if Death Roll didn't prove to be the most fun I've had with a low-budget B-movie creature feature in a long while.Despite nearly all of the accusations fired at this film by its naysayers being absolutely true (the story IS highly derivative, the characters ARE extremely clichéd, and the killer croc itself IS a marvel of VERY manky CGI and pathetic model-making), I just couldn't help but have a total blast.What makes Crocodile 2 so surprisingly watchable is that even though director Gary Jones knows damn well that he's working on another predictable, cheesy and formulaic film destined for the bottom shelf at Blockbusters, he still gives it everything he has (Hooper's film, on the other hand, felt like the director was just going through the motions).Jones's enthusiastic and unpretentious approach is mirrored by his cast, who play their preposterous one-dimensional roles to the hilt, and the result is a silly, funny (perhaps unintentionally, perhaps knowingly), scary, and ultimately hugely enjoyable monster movie that offers impeccably timed jump scares, several gory deaths, a cartoonish and impossibly evil head villain (whose vocabulary is littered with unimaginative expletives), a David Hess-alike creepy henchman, a truly awful exploding helicopter model, a denouement that was telegraphed from the very beginning, and the obligatory daft pre-credits 'shock' sequence that finally allows us blokes a better look at the very sexy Lenhart (dont get too excited, though: she's only in a bikini!).It might seem like a ridiculously high rating for such a corny film, but I give Crocodile 2: Death Roll a whopping 8/10.
Paul Andrews Four heavily armed men wearing balaclavas burst into the 'Arizona Millennium Bank' and proceed to rob it. Before they can escape the police turn up and the following shoot-out ends in a massacre of both police and innocent customers. The four robbers manage to escape unharmed. Then it's off to 'Orange County Airport'. One of the stewardess on flight 211 to Accapulco named Mia (Heidi Lenhart as Heidi Noelle Lenhart) talks to her boyfriend, Zach (Chuck Walczak) who's already there sunning himself by a pool. Mia says she'll be there soon. The four bank robbing murderers from the opening sequence, Max (Darryl Theirse), Sol (Jon Sklaroff), Squid (James Parks) and Pete (Billy Reick) are also going to Accapulco on flight 211, and manage to smuggle guns, ammunition and stolen money on board. Crocodile 2 was obviously made before a certain date that will go down in history. Julie (Anna Cranage) is the other stewardess. As they fly, the plane encounters awful weather conditions, a violent thunder storm. The pilot (Dan Martin) is told to turn back. Max, Sol, Squid and Pete are rather unhappy about this and hijack the plane. Max and Squid burst into the cockpit and force the pilot to carry on to Mexico. Sol and Pete try to keep the passengers under control, to prove his point Sol shoots a kid in the face called Sean (Sean Euro). Hearing the gunshot Max and Squid are distracted in the cockpit and the pilot and his co-pilot (Eddy Chamichian) sense their chance and try to disarm Max and Squid. In the ensuing struggle the planes instruments are damaged and the plane crashes in 'Devils Swamp', somewhere in Mexico. Max, Sol, and Squid survive. As does Julie and Mia, plus the obligatory teenager Brian (Steve Moreno), a lawyer named Justin (David Valcin), a nurse (possibly Rachel Henry who is listed as 'injured passenger', the filmmakers don't even bother to give her an on screen name) and the pilot. Max convinces the survivors to carry their stolen money across the swamps to a village named Santa Christo, by pointing guns at them and shooting the already injured nurse dead, because she will slow them all down. The pilot is suddenly attacked and killed by a crocodile. Max and Co. shoot the crocodile dead. They all head off into the swamp. A massive crocodile finds it's mate floating dead on the surface of the swamp. It sets out for revenge. First of all it eats Julie. Meanwhile, in Accapulco Zach has heard about the plane crash on the box. He hires Roland (Martin Kove) to help him track down Mia who he believes may still be alive. They manage to find Mia, and the rest of the survivors. Zach and Roland are then also thrown into the situation and have to survive the killer crocodiles constant attacks. Will they be able to make it back to civilisation or possibly be rescued before they all end up as crocodile food? Watch it to find out! Directed by Gary Jones this isn't a particularly great film but is a lot better than Tobe Hoopers original Crocodile (2000). The script by Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch, who both helped write the screenplay for the original, is split in two. The first half is a bank heist film, the robbery and the plane hijack. The crocodile doesn't appear until after the 45 minute mark and then the film becomes a pretty straight horror for the rest of it's run time. The ending is a bit stupid and I'm not entirely convinced that what happened would be possible in reality. The script features a silly amount of bad language, in fact it becomes extremely irritating as the bad guys have to swear every couple of words. It's reasonably well paced and mildly entertaining for what it is. This is a film where the script probably looked half decent, unfortunately the filmmakers didn't really have the money or dare I say it, the talent to make it work. I mean the plane crash probably sounded cool as the written word but the finished sequence ended up rather lame with poor special effects, the same could also be said for the fight Roland and Max have in a helicopter as it flies over the swamp. The special effects are mixed, they range from awful to OK but their generally better than the original's. There's not much gore, but the attacks all contain a fair amount of blood. Most of the actors are forgettable except Martin Kove who is pretty watchable and doesn't deserve to be reduced to making films like this. Not particularly good, but it just about kept me entertained for 90 odd minutes on a certain level.
