Killer Crocodile 2 is a 1990 Italian horror film directed by Giannetto De Rossi, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Fabrizio De Angelis (credited as Larry Ludman) and Dardano Sacchetti (as David Parker Jr.). The film is the sequel to 1989's Killer Crocodile, and stars Anthony Crenna and Thomas Moore, reprising their roles from the previous film, along with Debra Karr.
Killer Crocodile 2 was shot back-to-back with its predecessor, Killer Crocodile.[2] Makeup artist Giannetto De Rossi, who created the crocodile and served as makeup artist on the first film, served as director on Killer Crocodile 2.[3]
In a 2022 review of both Killer Crocodile 2 and its predecessor, Paul Lê of Bloody Disgusting wrote: "The recycling of past footage helps pad the runtime, the man-operated croc prop somehow seems more stiff this time around, and the conclusion is rushed. All in all, Killer Crocodile 2 is more of the same but now with only half the charm and spirit."
2K restorations of both Killer Crocodile 2 and the first film were released as a limited edition 2-disc Blu-ray set on September 24, 2019, by Severin Films.[4] Both films are available for streaming on Tubi.
