Review of Crocodile

Crocodile (2000 Video)
Outstanding
17 April 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Get serious, this is one of the best worst movies I've seen in a while. We're sitting around the apartment one evening when I spot the title, (I've always been partial to Crocodile movies after the event that was Lake Placid), we flip to it, luckily right at the beginning, and I'm hooked. You can't deny the humor in the ridiculous acting, the bad plot, and the horrible locations.

Just a few of my favorites (I guess there are spoilers here, but let's be honest, if you made it to this, you've already seen the movie and just wanted to laugh and commisserate with the rest of us):

1. These actors are badass, they definitely need to be brought back for another feature monster film.

2. How do these lose each other so quickly and easily in a sparsely wooded area when they're running from the thing, I mean, it's not like they were trekking through the dense wilds of the Amazon here.

3. And why do the scenes in the woods and on the shore look like they were shot in my backward or on the beach at my lake house? This lake must be surrounded by the most eclectic surroundings of any lake on earth, sometimes there's swamps, dense forests, scrub pines, and the Mojave desert near the end, must be in the sub-temperate zone.

4. The crocodile (which they must have spent most of their money on computer generating, little tip, should've just pocketed that to feed yourselves after the cut from the box office on this one goes away) is as big as and eats a house boat, yet then fits in the gas station.

5. What the hell is the purpose of the old croc hunter and the sheriff, they get eaten without striking a blow, hell it woulda been cooler if the grizzled old guy had pulled out his croc gutting knife and at least contributed a little.

6. And, a kid gets ingested whole, then spit back out because he's covered in bug spray? Inspired.

What was this movie lacking? More nudity, those girls were some cute little ditties, a little more naked action would've taken this outstanding comedy right over the top.
