Lake Placid 2 (Unrated)

Buy This Item Lake Placid 2 (Unrated) by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $19.99  on 8-29-2008     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. Reader Reviews 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 The croc groupie has been replaced by a hunter. Betty White's wonderful character mysteriously disappeared and has been replaced by a sister (Cloris Leachman).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.
