RIP, Betty White, for being hilarious in this movie. RIP, Stan Winston, for bringing to life a giant crocodile.

RIP, the guy who made the peanut butter & jelly in the same jar, for putting peanut butter & jelly in the same jar.

If I remember correctly, this was the first time Betty White went full in like that. Shocked df out of a LOT of people. This was her comeback. This is when she was cemented in the hearts of most people. I haven't watched this since she passed, and it was so bittersweet to see her in that role that launched her career into the stratosphere. After the movie, she never lacked roles and usually amazing ones. I'm one who grew up watching The Golden Girls, so she's held a special place in my heart. RIP Legend

Just wanted to say that I love your channel. Been watching for a few months now. I lost my little sister unexpectedly on Tuesday. She was only 31. Im trying to figure out how to live with this pain and most of the things I can listen to, read, play or watch remind me of her because we shared everything. Your videos are one of the few things I can watch that makes me smile and even laugh. Thank You.

Hey JL! So a moose was probably in the water because they really can swim, and they often will graze/feed on the plant life on the lakes bottom. They are massive and terrifying creatures but have so much beauty.

Many animals are good swimmers. Was surprised to learn, from Prehistoric Planet, that there is lots of evidence T-rexs swam.

First time I watched this movie, I went in blind. I knew there was a big crocodile, but that was it. It became one of my all time favourite movies. So funny! Betty White is the Queen. The sheriff and rich guy fighting. All of it. It's such a hilariously good time, funnier than most comedies and better jumpscares than most horrors.

I love Oliver Platt. It's been years since I've seen this movie, and I quickly realized that this is why I love him so much now. He was awesome in Flatliners, too.

In The Memory Of Betty White January 17 1922 - December 31 2021.🙏

"I'm rooting for the crocodile. I hope he swallows your friends whole. You might want to arrest me for that too. Is that a crime?" Fun Fact: In the hospital, someone can be heard paging Mr. Miner in the background. Lake Placid (1999) was directed by Steve Miner. Killer Croc Fact: The crocodile, either as CGI or animatronic, has about 3 minutes and 43 seconds of screentime. The man who created the crocodile for the film was none other than Stan Winston. Winston was also the creator of the monsters in Aliens (1986) and Jurassic Park (1993). Gun Enthusiast Fact: Sheriff Keough's (Brendan Gleeson) "big gun" was a fake gun made specifically as a prop for this movie, as opposed to just putting blanks in a real gun. They even gave it a fake name, calling it a "Light Weight Forward Area Air Device Unit" which itself is a pretty good parody of military jargon. It was not an M-203 grenade launcher, which fires 40mm grenades. The "grenades" shown with the gun were a good deal smaller than 40mm.

I love this movie!! Betty White, oh how I miss your sass :) She was the woman who taught me that being called a b***h was actually a compliment :D

This has been one of my favorite movies for so long. I love the dialogue and the characters 😂.

"Why does a moose cross the lake?" To get to the other side. Moose are good swimmers, and provide plenty of food for giant crocs. I remember wishing someone react to the croc's first appearance with "We're gonna need a bigger park."

I just love all the sarcasm in this movie. I was used to Betty White in shows like Mary Tyler Moore and Golden Girls. The first time she cussed in this I almost fell out of my chair. 😂

Love your reaction to this. I only saw it because it had my fave guy Oliver Platt in it and he was brilliant. The back and forth between him and Brendon Gleeson was perfect. Love to know what the cow was thinking 😂

This came out during the summer of large underwater monsters, circa 1999. Deep Blue Sea is another one. I never would have thought that I would laugh so hard going into this. People were roaring at the Betty White scenes. The Golden Girl went ham. If you notice that in the party scene, Hector does a version of the Carleton dance for a brief moment.

One of my all time favorite movies. It's a total guilty pleasure movie that is a solid 10 out of 10 (even though it's not a perfect movie, but my love for it makes it 100% fun)

Loved this movie since I saw it in theaters. The sheriff and Betty White are the best part of the movie.

I love this movie so much. Oliver Platt has some if thecbest lines. I saw you were reacting to it snd knew it was gonna be a good night. Btw, moose swim really well and can dive to eat plants off the bottom.

Betty White was crazy in this movie 😂😂😂😂

11:14 moose be swimming bro!

Yep, Betty White always reminded me of my grandmother...even after she talked to the cops in this movie.

I love the high level of sarcasm. Oliver Platt (crocodile guy) was in a lot of movies and always stands out... he's amazing.

It's one of my favorite movies. Great cast, effects, silly but fun plot, and especially a fun script with some great lines. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Much love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

Been so long since I watched this, I can't believe my Granny let me watch this as a kid with the way they talk 😂😂

It’s a great movie because it could’ve easily just been a straight up horror film with some no names that would’ve been forgotten but not only is it a great cast but it was brilliance to turn it into essentially a comedy even though it isn’t advertised as that. It does what so many horrors forget to do today which is to actually make characters you care about and the best way to do that is have them bounce off each other using humour.

Yeah, I will always re-watch this. Bridget Fonda is Henry Fonda's granddaughter, good acting history in her family - Henry, Peter, Jane, and Bridget. I think maybe Bridget is Peter's kid. And of course the whole cast was just great for this. Um, the sequels get progressively less good I think, though they're fun too. Thanks for doing this reaction, you had real similar reactions to what I had - I could relate, almost like being there! 😃 🐊 😶

Great movie all around. Good actors, funny, and the special effects still hold up today.

@JLloved your reactions :) and Betty White was a national treasure with a career as one of the best of all time as a actress and a person. I love the creature feature, my favorite horror genre

9:08 Moose like being in marshes, from my understanding. I saw a wild moose once in my life, going down a dirt road in the Colorado mountains in the middle of the state when I was on an elk hunting trip when I was 13. It was a cow (female) moose standing in a big open marsh area at the base of a mountain. But, not to mention, all animals need to drink, and that's pretty much how crocodiles catch their prey.

remember the actor with the grey hair and glasses- you'll see him pop up again in one of the later halloween sequels...

Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

Not gonna lie, this movie is one of my underdog favourites. So much fun!

There is a difference between alligator and crocodile. Gators have more of a U shaped head, while crocs heads are in the shape of a V. And the crocs in the eastern hemisphere are WAY more aggressive. They dont play

Gotta love Betty White.

Got me doing the Carlton dance 😂😂😂💃💃

I can tell you were a super nice person by the way you treat your animals. Much respect!

the most hilarious moments are the innuendoes between Hector and the sheriff. 🤣

Soon as I saw that you had this up, I HAD to see your reaction to Betty White lol

4:00 One of my alltime favorites! ❤❤! Hilarious dialog, super rude people! Betty White stole the show

Saw this in theaters as a kid this is a family classic

so glad you found this gem

I think the closest we've gotten to a croc this size of being 30 feet was Gustave who is notorious for being a man-eater, rumored to have killed as many as 200-300 people. Though the actual number of victims is difficult to verify(also had a horror movie based off him) and rumor is he's long since passed but who knows. There was also a 12 footer in Australia, that was the biggest recorded there in the wild a lady shot and killed it when it tried to attack her daughter i believe the story went, in captivity it's cassius who's 17 ft and he's a guiness world record holder! additional fun fact. Croc's immune system is so overcharged/powerful they fight off and don't get HIV even when directly infected.

The one shot in Australia by the polish woman was 28ft long or 8.6 meters. I believe that there were probably bigger ones shot earlier in the century. She was a croc hunter. Even today is quite common in northern Australia to see plenty of crocs over the 15ft mark. One that ate 2 tourists a few years back was probably around 20 ft in length.

@MadRhetorik.

6 ай бұрын

Gustave was estimate to be in the 20 foot range. Lolong is the largest officially measured crocodile at 20 ft 3 inches but has since died. Alot of the saltines in Australia push 15 feet on the regular with some of the big ones crusing 19-20 feet it seems. There are tales of crocs taken in older times measuring up to 28 feet but none officially measured and the ones who did have their skulls kept were measured and extrapolated to be in the 17 feet range. I still believe large specimens exist that are pushing 21 feet. Anything north of 21 feet right now would be highly speculative until a specimen is caught and measured.

@@MadRhetorik. the one nicknamed krys after the polish woman was shot in 1956 not that long ago really. There's also rumours of one shot in Mackay in 1880 that was supposed 32 feet long.

He plays on Independence Day as the president and he plays on the movie Casper

This is one of my fav movies. I love your reaction,

Betty White is THE STAR of this film. Period.

From the look at the poster (I'd forgotten until seeing it again) it's a freshwater crocodile. Alligators have broad snouts and crocs come more to a point like this.

After that opening scene, I just picture Brendan Gleeson telling the croc he doesn't want to be friends with it no more.

I’m so happy you reacted to this movie 🎥

One of my favorite B-movies. Betty White is amazing.

Drogo got a good point, you need to listen to that man 😂

The actor playing the sherriff is Brendon Gleason, famous Irish ? actor who was in Braveheart with Mel Gibson, his friend Hamish ...

Thanks for playing, bear.

Bill Pullman, the wild life guy and main love interest, played the president in Independence Day, Spaceballs, and While You Were Sleeping.

I love this movie! So great to see you having so much fun just watching it. Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Platt play off of each other so well--I'd love to see something more with them, too. Just great reaction!

Fun fact: There is only one known crocodile that has to actively hunt and put hippos on t-shirts is Gustave, the Burundi Man-Eater.

Yeah 20:00 they're exaggerating with crocodiles, they're actually in the menu for more than just Men, there's tons of videos of them getting merked by Jaguars, Lions, Anacondas, Tigers, Hippo's and elephants.

I loved seeing this in the theaters!

Dude. I always smile when watching you

one of those movies I feel like I’ve watched, but I didn’t even know this was the title of. especially since there’s so many low budget “giant animal” movies, I probably got it confused with some random movie called something like “really big gator 5000 part 2”. I distinctly remember a old lady feeding a bunch of baby gators right before the credits rolled(and commercials started playing).

I have been waiting for you to watch this one!!!!!

Sheriff, "Everyone's a comedian sarcastic."

Imagine just driving along, not knowing they're filming, and seeing a HGV drive past with a Crock that big strapped to the back lol 😲

I’m struggling with depression something bad… idk if I can get out of bed most days. Thank u for being here for me without even knowing it ❤ Haha “ she’s gonna report me I promise u”

Glad to be here

I don't know if any one else will say this, Alligators live in fresh water but can go into salt water for some time depending on how salty it is, but there are both salt water and fresh water crocs, Nile crocs are the most famous fresh water crocs, and salt water crocs are the most famous salt water crocs, also there are American crocs, but in north America they are limited to Florida.

Oh man i love betty white sooo much, so many other great names in this movie but 99 years wasn't enough time with that national treasure.

20:03 I guess you've never heard of Gustave the giant Nile Crocodile a maneater who was responsible the deaths of 300 people in Africa. People who were documenting him were so suprise at how large Gustave, he was so big he even made Hippos afraid of him.

10:22 - you'd have to be absolutely NUTS to go on the water in kayaks that can tip over at a slight breeze or wrong movement. She is worried about tents and locals, but not this?

I haven't seen this movie in a minute. And I didn't know he was Mad-Eye! I didn't put it together until you said it!

"Point of No Return" - 1993 action/secret government agent. Impressive music soundtrack. Staring Bridget Fonda (female lead in this movie). Consider reacting!

Loooove this movie! Quote it all the time 😂

Classic movie

A couple of movies I highly recommend for the channel with two of the stars from that. Bridget Fonda in Nikita and Oliver Platt in Diggstown. Diggstown is a fun movie.

Alligators are dark colored with a broad , rounded snout and are usually found In fresh water. Crocodiles are grayish-green and prefer coastal, brackish and salt water habitats

A good Bridget Fonda movie is Point of No Return and a good Oliver Platt movie is the 1993 version of The Three Musketeers. You're right though, Betty White is the GOAT!

Years of watching Harry Potter and this movie, never realized that was Mad-eye

I know she played in "A Simple Plan" (GREAT MOVIE! DID YOU SEE IT? ) can't think of anything else she played in right now.

Moose swim. A regular croc would take one down in the water, but even a normal croc can get over 20 feet and weigh more than a ton, strongest bite of any animal also. Hippos and crocs live in the same areas. Crocs are scared of full grown hippos, one hippo will have many crocs move out the way, they have been known to bite crocs in half.
