When bad weather compels the pilot to turn the plane around, the bandits highjack it, taking it straight into a tremendous storm which causes the plane to crash into fiery pieces in a swamp. The survivors include only a few passengers, most of the bad guys, and a pretty flight attendant (Heidi Noelle Lenhardt), whose fiancé in Acapulco hires a renegade professional tracker (Martin Kove) to help him find the downed plane when the authorities prove useless. The rescuers had better hurry: The swamp is the home of a prehistoric-sized crocodile, and she's 1) angry, and, 2) hungry. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
After about 55 minutes of biblically awful dialogue and paint-by-numbers plot points, the plane crash-lands in a giant swamp. Yes, the Death Swamp!

Another humourously awful creature-feature from Nu Image. 25 minutes in and you'll be wondering just how a crocodile will actually find itself in this ludicrous plot, which starts off with a brutal bank heist then moves onto a plane hijacking! But the blood-thirsty psycho Croc gets some action once the hijacked plane crashes into the Mexican swampland and feasts on the survivors. It's fun at times and just like the first movie it's never dull or boring. Depends on your tolerance for bad movies whether you'll enjoy this or not.

Surprisingly ambitious and not that terrible. Competently written, which is more that I can say for a lot of movies of this ilk.

Crocodile II doesn't pick up where the last left off. A new crock and new victims. Again poor effects, but slightly better acting. Just your average crap fun.

I found this film to be thoroughly entertaining, and it had a giant crocodile! I liked the first Crocodile, but I enjoyed the crime story in this one better that the teens in peril one in the first. Still, both have a giant crocodile eating people.
