Killer Krokodil II – Die Mörderbestie (1990)

Killer Krokodil II – Die Mörderbestie: Directed by Giannetto De Rossi. With Richard Anthony Crenna, Debra Karr, Ennio Girolami, Terry Baer. The Caribbean swamps which is to be made into a holiday resort is terrorized again by a second monstrous crocodile which is killing off anyone unfortunate to be on the water.

“Attempting to cover a big story, a reporter sent to investigate a conspiracy involving illegal toxic waste dumping in the Caribbean finds that the waste has created a monstrous crocodile stalking the grounds of a new hotel and tries to stop the creature.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor the most part this one here was a rather decent creature feature. What really tends to work well for this one is once again putting the creature on display and instigating attacks, as thereu0026#39;s quite a few incredibly enjoyable action-packed scenes here. The opening ambush on the parasailors is a nice opening mark, the big attack on the childrenu0026#39;s boat going through the river attacking the children in the water after being capsized and the fun encounter where it attacks the hut with the workers inside all manage to give this a rather nice amount of action scenes. As well, the swamp attack on the guide and his traversing through the swamp after her provide some more fun with the creature, and being able to set-up the finale makes for some rather nice hunting-style action scenes out in the swamp which is where the film really scores. Introducing the white-whale style climax allows for the rather enjoyable fun here of the creature attacking the salvage crew and turning to the family fun on the water nearby in a pretty thrilling cheesy action set-piece and letting the rather explosive finish come off pretty well. Again, the fact that this one has the real prop croc on-camera for a large majority of the scenes here gives this one more to like by having the physical presence on-screen, and along with the great gore makes for some fun times. These here make this one quite fun, though thereu0026#39;s some problems featured throughout this one. Once again, a great deal of time is wasted throughout here on completely banal tangents and side-plots that really donu0026#39;t do much of anything interesting here, with the main part here once again being the conspiracy angle. This isnu0026#39;t in the slightest bit interesting as once again itu0026#39;s a rehash from the first film which did the same angle from pretty similar authority figures for the same exact reason which becomes quite distracting. Playing it out once again doesnu0026#39;t really make the scenes all that interesting just watching them go into meetings about whatu0026#39;s happening and really makes this feel like a repeat of the same thing from last time. The other flaw to this one is the fact that thereu0026#39;s just no reason for the extended flashbacks of the first one beyond simply padding out the running time here and itu0026#39;s quite obvious where itu0026#39;s done for that effect which makes this rather troubling. Otherwise, thereu0026#39;s not a whole lot really wrong with this one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and children-in-jeopardy.”
