RIP, to those who made this movie possible: Stan Winston, 1946-2008, for bringing to life the giant crocodile. Betty White, 1922-2021, for being hilarious in this movie.
This one is so under rated. It's got the likable characters, a wacky premise, and a script that is serious enough to get us there and the humor to fill in the holes.
When this people came out and the possibility of crocodiles in this continent was a "heck no" but now, no longer a "heck no". Alligators were the only ones we used to have to worry about and only in fresh water. Now it's alligators adapting to salt water and crocodiles over here. 😮
Alligator from 1980, rogue from 2007 and crawl 2019 way more better than this movie. it was okay in 1999. you see the its possible to make a great horror movie with alligators or crocodile but they dont take the chance. I dont speak from the carnage count but this movie ends so disappointed. of course funny but not the best in the genre. special the director is steve miner - he loves gore or a lot of deaths. friday the 13th part 2 and 3 or halloween h20.
This movie is kind of a guilty pleasure. Good combo of comedy and horror. Amazingly, a crocodile expert rated this as the most accurate depiction of a crocodile on film.
Betty White is EVERYTHING in this movie!! She was truly special in every acting role. Icon doesn't begin to describe her. The best thing about this movie are the hilarious one-liners so it has its scary moments but the dialogue is awesome to bring the laughs. Y'all crack me up. "This girl can't stay put". It's not her fault, LOL!
Bill Pullman was Lonestar in Spaceballs, remember? Betty White in real life was a very passionate animal rights activist which makes this movie even more hilarious when you see her feeding cows to a crocodile.
The critics did not know what to make of this movie when it came out, and it was almost universally panned. You really needed a dry sense of humour to appreciate it for what it intended to be. It has amazing actors playing great characters, and it walks that brilliant fine line of scary and funny.
@@katrinacash6393oh 100%! Critics think they have some amazing sense of what is good and what isn’t. Usually they are beyond narcissistic and arrogant. But yeah this movie is meant to be fun and mostly funny. Which it most certainly is
The fish & game guy is Bill Pulman, he was in both While You Were Sleeping & Independence Day. The sheriff is played by the same guy that played Professor Moody in Harry Potter. Hector is played by Olivet Platt & he's The Three Musketeers with Keifer Sutherland & Charlie Sheen.
90s were such a great time for fun popcorn films and the use of practical effects were at their peak. The best ones knew how to blend a little comedy so naturally too. This is probably the best introduction to Betty White, it really re-established her for a newer generation.
Okay. So Betty White was famous back when she was younger, but found her career reinvigorated when she was cast in Golden Girls in the 1980's. In that TV show she played this super nice, super naïve lady. Because of that many people who were unfamiliar with her thought of her as never being foul mouthed, rude, or even being remotely close to having an evil bone in her body. Then she played this role and broke the minds of many younger people who didn't know her from anything else. And she made this film. RIP Ms White, you are missed.
I was about to suggest the same. I loved Betty on the Mary Tyler Moore Show as the naughty "Happy Homemaker" Sue Ann Nivens. While they are all in her bedroom, Ted Knight looks up and straightens his tie in the ceiling mirror over her bed. She was such a national treasure.
5:40 - Wooow! I forget just how old this movie is now. That is actress, Mariska Hargitay, in the black and white dress, who's been on the hit TV show "Law & Order: SVU" for like the past 25 years. She was sooo young here! She was a looker in those days. She's also the daughter of famous 50s and 60s blonde bombshell, Jayne Mansfield, who was gorgeous too (died when she was only 34).
Jayne Mansfield was a natural brunette. With her dark locks it's almost eerie how much her daughter Mariska Hargitay resembles her, especially her eyes.
At the beginning when Bridget’s character was hyperventilating in her office and then the other woman came in and told her to take slow breaths that was Mariska Hargata ( misspelled) from Law and Order SVU!!
'Hector' was my fave in this movie too. Oliver Platt is so funny. I seen him the first time in The Three Musketeers with Charlie Sheen, Chris ODonnell and Keifer Sutherland. I think you would love the movie.
@@leonniemandt6911 oh he was amazing in it but then again I always think he is. And by far Currys is the scariest version of IT, I thought the new one was funny and a bit cute but I still can't look at Tim's version full on it creeps me out so much
This is one of my favorite funny horror movies. It's not a horror-comedy, but there's a lot of funny in it, a lot like Tremors. So many fun, odd characters, so many good lines. And Betty White just owned that movie.
And the Irish cop in "Gangs of New York" and an Oscar nod for "The Banshees of Inisherin". Wonderful actor as is his son Domhnal Gleason.@@digimortalone2759
I've seen this movie so many times! It's such a fun movie with great character interaction and tense moments. Bridget Fonda is such a beautiful, soft spoken woman. And they did a great job with the croc scenes, especially when it took that grizzly!
Lake Placid is a gem of a film I love it Oliver platt and Brendon Gleason are fabulous. “I never heard of a croc crossing an ocean” “Well they conceal information like that in books” 😂😂
Crocodiles are so fascinating. Strongest bite force. Their vision underwater is amazing. Their immune systems are super charged even when infected with hiv they fight it off and are immune even when directly infected, the immune system has to be strong for they lose limbs and have to heal fast in their environment after battles with others of their kind. (studies have been made are on their immune systems). And with a croc that big, that handgun wouldn't have scratched it even at that close range, it would've probably tickled. Also, famous croc would be 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. Other crocs that have been named and are famous have reached the 20+ ft range.
The deputy Hector was dancing with was played by Meredith Salinger. She's most known for playing Natty Gann. An excellent movie to watch is the Journey of Natty Gann.
The female Sheriff's Deputy is actress Meredith Salenger. She stars in a cute 80s teen movie with Corey Feldman, and Corey Haim, called "Dream A LIttle Dream". She also stars in a really cool suspense/horror film with actors Christopher Reeves (Superman), and Kirstie Alley called, "Village of the Damned" (1995).
You should check out the first two Crocodile Dundee movies, they are hilarious classics! Not scary at all, just good fun 😊 There's also the movie Anaconda, it's pretty good, it came out in the 90s and has a stacked cast. Another great crocodile movie is the Australian film Rogue, although there's much less humour than in Lake Placid, it's pretty tense!
I love this movie so much!! Such a great cast & so sarcastically funny the entire time. So much fun with some jumpscares & drama with a touch of romance.
The head guy was played by Bill Pulman. You've seen him in at least 3 movies. He played the husband of the ball player Dottie in A League of Their Own, who came home from the war towards the end of the movie. He was in Spaceballs. And he was the fiancé to Meg Ryan (blonde) in Sleepless in Seattle. He is in a lot of great movies, you should check him out in While You Were Sleeping. The sheriff was played by Brendan Gleeson, who is actually Irish but managed to pull off an American accent. He's been in tons of movies, including the Harry Potter franchise. You should check him out in 28 Days Later (a crazy zombie movie). Oliver Platt, who played Hector, is snarky in most of the roles he plays. He's good at it. lol. You should check out The Three Musketeers, also with Kiefer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen. Kiefer Sutherland was in The Lost Boys and Stand By Me, among other things.
Here's an interesting tidbit: Oliver Platt is a great-grandson of Cynthia Roche. Cynthia's brother was Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy, who was the maternal grandfather of Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales. That makes Oliver Platt and the late Princess of Wales 2nd cousins once removed to each other. And that would make Oliver a 3rd cousin to William, the current Prince of Wales (and the future King of England).
I truly LOVE this movie! And yes, every actor was great but Betty White and the bickering between Hector and the Shariff was really what made the movie the fun flick it is., If you haven't seen it yet, I really encourage you to see Disney's The Three Musketeers. It also has Oliver Platt (Hector) who plays Porthos and he's just as witty with the one-liners in that movie as well! Also a great movie with an incredible score!
Don't know if your recognized him, but the man who played the sheriff, Brendan Gleeson, also played Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody in the Harry Potter films. The other guy you recognized and thought was in Twister is Bill Pullman, and he was the president in Independance Day. And the word for killing a person who's terminally ill, at THEIR request, is "Euthanasia". As for Hecktor, played by Olivar Platt, one of his best roles is when he played Porthos in "The Three Musketeers" (1993) with Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland. He had pretty much the same personality and wit. If you've never seen it, you'll love it.
Its crazy to me how few of these movie reviewers have seen this movie. My dad loved it the first time he saw it back in the day lol. Anyway love the content you guys, keep em coming!
The Bf "Kevin", is actor Adam Arkin. Adam was in Halloween H20: 20 Yr's Later, he had a role in Hitch, with Will Smith and Kevin James. Adam is also son to actor {*Alan Arkin*, RIP}, who was in The Stand Up Guys, and Argo.
Gotta love Betty in this. Great chemistry with all the actors. You had me laughing when TWICE you predicted the next line in the movie. Looking forward to the next one.
I love how this shows hints of the real Betty White lol. It's always been known that she could cuss like a sailor and we all know how much of an animal lover she was. Hats off to Queen Betty White, a true American treasure.
Still think you two would love Dark City. Has that same dark 90’s aesthetic as the Matrix movies. Alex Proyas did such a good job directing. It’s part creepy, part scary, part noir mystery….
Bill Pullman, you've seen him in Spaceballs and Sleepless in Seattle. This was filmed around Vancouver, Canada. Butzen Lake reservoir is where Delores' house is located. I swam there, it's beautiful but deep, scary and cold.
6:24 - That's actor Bill Pullman, who played the U.S. President in the film, "Independence Day", with Will Smith, and Jeff Goldblum. He's also in a really creepy movie about voodoo called, "The Serpent and the Rainbow", y'all should check that one out.
Like how a few years back they found two cars in Foss Lake here in Oklahoma One was 3 adults that went missing back in 1969 The other was 3 teenagers that went missing in 1970
I'm SO glad you guys found this movie. almost no one knows about this movie. Oliver Platt is absolutely hilarious in it, and Bridget Fonda is such an underrated actress.
Bill Pullman plays the president in Independence Day, a fun alien invasion movie. He plays a completely different character in Ruthless People (one of my favorite raunchy comedies). Beloved Betty White had hundreds of credits. You should watch The Proposal with Betty, Ryan Reynolds, and Sandra Bullock.
My favorite Bridget Fonda movie is SINGLES, which Bill Pullman is also in. A great cast. Set in Seattle in the early 90s. My favorite Bill Pullman movie is RUTHLESS PEOPLE. He is hilarious in this movie. And your favorite Billy from Beverly Hills cop - Judge Reinhold - is also in this movie. He is wonderful.
Glad y'all enjoyed this silly, fun movie and glad to hear Jay's starting to enjoy horror movies in general. :) Bridget Fonda's been in a lot of great movies - Single White Female (horror), Point of No Return (action), It Could Happen to You (comedy with a bit of romance), Doc Hollywood (comedy), and A Simple Plan (just watch it, no spoilers). Bill Pullman played the President in Independence Day, Meg Ryan's boyfriend in Sleepless in Seattle, the Han Solo type character in Space Balls, and the husband of Geena Davis' character in A League of Their Own. He also starred in the rom-com While You Were Sleeping, which I don't think y'all have reacted to yet (it's wonderful!). :) Loved your reactions to this movie; I was laughing along with you! :D
Funniest big killer animal movie ever made... I love that EVERYBODY disrespected the Sheriff and was sarcastic and insulting to him! He was such a likeable character that you immediately understood what his life was like and related.
Betty White came to national prominence on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the early seventies. The female scientist, Bridgett Fonda is the granddaughter of legendary actor Henry Fonda known for films: The Grapes Of Wrath, Twelve Angry Men, and Mister Roberts costarring a very young Jack Lemmon in his first Oscar winning role. Her aunt Jane is a huge star of the sixties, seventies and eighties. Nine To Five with Dolly Parton would be a good place to start with. Her father is Peter Fonda who starred in the 1969 counterculture classic Easy Rider costarring a young Jack Nicholson
I loved this one in the cinema... and was thrilled to see Betty White. It felt like the start of her comeback. 🐊 Many thanks to Amber & Jay! 🐊Kudos to director Steve Miner who also did FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (1981), FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 (1982), WARLOCK (1989) and HALLOWEEN H20: 20 YEARS LATER (1998).
@@1lonesometiger Yes, indeed. Now would be a good time. I think my favorite of Mr. Sands would be a toss-up between GOTHIC (1986) and A ROOM WITH A VIEW (1985).
What gives away the presence of a second croc is the nearness of the cow incident and Hector's encounter, they're nearly simultaneous! I love this movie, it's one of the funniest films of the horror/comedy genre!
Jay as a fellow Oklahoman, I really think you should give Lake Murray, just south of Ardmore a try in yhe summer. The water is very clear there. I am around 6' 2" tall and could see my toes standing chest deep. It is a really nice area to camp, swim, or just enjoy the scenery.
A testimony to Betty White was how sad we all were when she died. Even though she died just 17 days shy of being 100 years old, we wanted more. Her roles in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls showcased her enormous comedic chops. She was under pressure 70 years ago in 1954, to remove Black tap dancer Arthur Duncan from "The Betty White Show" but she refused and gave him more camera time instead. Watch her bloopers from "Hot in Cleveland" and react to "The Proposal". You will love it.
So Brigdet fonda, action movie, "Point of no return", bill Pullman fun movie, Independence Day", Oliver platt fun movie, Disney's "Three Muskateers" the 80's. Or the original "flatliners". A rom com with Betty White, "the proposal".
There's actually a Lake Placid in Central Florida, & i actually lived there when this movie came out. 😳 i lived across the lake from my father & the gators & crocs were real! & real scary😮
RIP, to those who made this movie possible:
Stan Winston, 1946-2008, for bringing to life the giant crocodile.
Betty White, 1922-2021, for being hilarious in this movie.
Stan Winston, such a legend 🏆
He and Rick Baker are wizards that shaped my childhood love of movies.
Betty White born in 1922. Sliced bread, commercially available in 1928. Therefore Sliced bread is the greatest thing since Betty White.
Bill Pullman also
@@pooman2 he's still alive.
@@shainewhite2781 oh shit he came back? I swear he was dead
Betty White is what makes this movie.
Betty White is her usual fantastic self, but Oliver Platt is who makes the movie for me.
I think they have multiple characters that make it worth watching. It's one of the most re-watchable movies for me
This one is so under rated. It's got the likable characters, a wacky premise, and a script that is serious enough to get us there and the humor to fill in the holes.
Totally. This is a fantastic movie that never got any real traction with people. But it's great on multiple levels.
When this people came out and the possibility of crocodiles in this continent was a "heck no" but now, no longer a "heck no".
Alligators were the only ones we used to have to worry about and only in fresh water.
Now it's alligators adapting to salt water and crocodiles over here.
😮
One of my all time favorite movie!!!
YES thank you so much for saying that.
Alligator from 1980, rogue from 2007 and crawl 2019 way more better than this movie. it was okay in 1999. you see the its possible to make a great horror movie with alligators or crocodile but they dont take the chance.

And Oliver Platt stole the show for me.
Agreed Platt was great .

And rivers! And golf courses in Florida.

As a life long Floridian I do not do lakes or rivers because of Water Moccasins not gators...either way I'm covered!
Not detective Olivia Benson stealing her bf and helping her thru a breathing technique 😂😂😂 crazy! I hadn’t noticed that til this reaction.
LMAOO that’s what i just said . “oh olivia” 😂 funny i was just watching svu before watching this
Around the same time that Lake Placid was made, there was a shark movie called Deep Blue Sea. It's goofy fun like this one.
I love Deep Blue Sea. I watch it fairly frequently.
also Deep Rising, a more fantasy/sci fi monster movie with a similar tone.

Lake Placid is a gem of a film I love it Oliver platt and Brendon Gleason are fabulous.
“I never heard of a croc crossing an ocean”
“Well they conceal information like that in books” 😂😂
Can't beat some of these old, fun creature features. This movie is nostalgic for me.
Crocodiles are so fascinating. Strongest bite force. Their vision underwater is amazing. Their immune systems are super charged even when infected with hiv they fight it off and are immune even when directly infected, the immune system has to be strong for they lose limbs and have to heal fast in their environment after battles with others of their kind.

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. Other crocs that have been named and are famous have reached the 20+ ft range.
10:31 - Hi Amber, the technical term for a mercy killing for someone who is suffering from a chronic, incurable illness is called "euthanasia".
Gosh what a throwback! We used to own this on VHS and I would watch it like once a week growing up
The deputy Hector was dancing with was played by Meredith Salinger. She's most known for playing Natty Gann. An excellent movie to watch is the Journey of Natty Gann.
Point of No Return is another decent movie by Bridget Fonda. She’s great in it. It’s a remake of La Femme Nikita where she plays an assassin.
Love that movie!
This movie is hilarious! I hope it's not the censored version, because that took out all of Betty White's funniest lines!
Bridget Fonda was in Point of No Return, the American remake of La Femme Nikita.

I love how this shows hints of the real Betty White lol. It's always been known that she could cuss like a sailor and we all know how much of an animal lover she was. Hats off to Queen Betty White, a true American treasure.
Still think you two would love Dark City. Has that same dark 90’s aesthetic as the Matrix movies. Alex Proyas did such a good job directing. It’s part creepy, part scary, part noir mystery….
I can’t believe you haven’t reacted to The Lethal Weapon movies yet!
Please react to them! They are the best buddy cop movies of all time!
Bill Pullman, you've seen him in Spaceballs and Sleepless in Seattle. This was filmed around Vancouver, Canada. Butzen Lake reservoir is where Delores' house is located. I swam there, it's beautiful but deep, scary and cold.
6:24 - That's actor Bill Pullman, who played the U.S. President in the film, "Independence Day", with Will Smith, and Jeff Goldblum. He's also in a really creepy movie about voodoo called, "The Serpent and the Rainbow", y'all should check that one out.
Like how a few years back they found two cars in Foss Lake here in Oklahoma
One was 3 adults that went missing back in 1969
The other was 3 teenagers that went missing in 1970
I'm SO glad you guys found this movie. almost no one knows about this movie. Oliver Platt is absolutely hilarious in it, and Bridget Fonda is such an underrated actress.
6:31 AHAHAHA he actually did the Bill Pullman/Paxton mix up, hilarious
Yes, Lake Placid! This movie is great!!
This is one of my favorite movies. Lots of slap stick comedy, horror and Betty White getting sassy. I do watch this often.
I love Betty White in The Proposal❤
OMG!! I didnt even expect this!! This was such a fun reaction, so nostalgic!!
Bill Pullman plays the president in Independence Day, a fun alien invasion movie. He plays a completely different character in Ruthless People (one of my favorite raunchy comedies). Beloved Betty White had hundreds of credits. You should watch The Proposal with Betty, Ryan Reynolds, and Sandra Bullock.
I'd say this and Tremors are my favourite creature features.
My favorite Bridget Fonda movie is SINGLES, which Bill Pullman is also in. A great cast. Set in Seattle in the early 90s.
My favorite Bill Pullman movie is RUTHLESS PEOPLE. He is hilarious in this movie. And your favorite Billy from Beverly Hills cop - Judge Reinhold - is also in this movie. He is wonderful.
Glad y'all enjoyed this silly, fun movie and glad to hear Jay's starting to enjoy horror movies in general. :) Bridget Fonda's been in a lot of great movies - Single White Female (horror), Point of No Return (action), It Could Happen to You (comedy with a bit of romance), Doc Hollywood (comedy), and A Simple Plan (just watch it, no spoilers). Bill Pullman played the President in Independence Day, Meg Ryan's boyfriend in Sleepless in Seattle, the Han Solo type character in Space Balls, and the husband of Geena Davis' character in A League of Their Own. He also starred in the rom-com While You Were Sleeping, which I don't think y'all have reacted to yet (it's wonderful!). :) Loved your reactions to this movie; I was laughing along with you! :D
Awesome reaction of my favorite Lake Placid movie!!!!😊😊😊😊
Great movie! Movie suggestion: The Replacements - very entertaining football movie! I think you guys would love it!
I’m surprised at how many survived in this movie as the director Steve Miner directed two Friday the 13th films (2&3) and Halloween:H20 (1998) 😂
R.I.P To The Great Betty White, Still Miss You Always
Funniest big killer animal movie ever made... I love that EVERYBODY disrespected the Sheriff and was sarcastic and insulting to him! He was such a likeable character that you immediately understood what his life was like and related.
Omg no way! I quote this movie at least once a day😂. “You really don’t have to tell anyone your from NY” 😂😂😂
Betty White came to national prominence on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the early seventies. The female scientist, Bridgett Fonda is the granddaughter of legendary actor Henry Fonda known for films: The Grapes Of Wrath, Twelve Angry Men, and Mister Roberts costarring a very young Jack Lemmon in his first Oscar winning role. Her aunt Jane is a huge star of the sixties, seventies and eighties. Nine To Five with Dolly Parton would be a good place to start with. Her father is Peter Fonda who starred in the 1969 counterculture classic Easy Rider costarring a young Jack Nicholson
Deadliest Catch is the show where they crab hunt in Alaska. I use to love that show
Always like the reunion of Bill Pullman and Bridget Fonda (from Singles)
I think for Valentine's Day, you should watch "The Notebook." It's a beautiful story of unconditional love! 🥰❤️
Oliver Platt is hilarious. He always plays sarcastic, smart characters 😄
HECK YEAH!
So underrated! I love you two!
I loved this one in the cinema... and was thrilled to see Betty White. It felt like the start of her comeback. 🐊 Many thanks to Amber & Jay! 🐊Kudos to director Steve Miner who also did FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (1981), FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 (1982), WARLOCK (1989) and HALLOWEEN H20: 20 YEARS LATER (1998).
Whoa I haven't seen Warlock in forever. I should watch that. RIP Julian Sands.
@@1lonesometiger Yes, indeed. Now would be a good time. I think my favorite of Mr. Sands would be a toss-up between GOTHIC (1986) and A ROOM WITH A VIEW (1985).
What gives away the presence of a second croc is the nearness of the cow incident and Hector's encounter, they're nearly simultaneous! I love this movie, it's one of the funniest films of the horror/comedy genre!
"They conceal knowledge like that in books" lol
Jay as a fellow Oklahoman, I really think you should give Lake Murray, just south of Ardmore a try in yhe summer. The water is very clear there. I am around 6' 2" tall and could see my toes standing chest deep. It is a really nice area to camp, swim, or just enjoy the scenery.
Betty White is hilarious in this movie as usual.
You may best remember Bill Pullman as Lonestar in "Spaceballs"
Classic movie. One of my top favorite movie that involves big animals eating people.
You recognize Bill Pullman? He was Walter in Sleepless in Seattle and in also was in Spaceballs
He was in Independence Day as well.
He was in Independence Day as well.
And the first two Equalizer movies
I never knew David E Kelley was one of the writers! That's why it's so good! He's done so many high quality famous tv shows & movies. Love this movie.
A testimony to Betty White was how sad we all were when she died. Even though she died just 17 days shy of being 100 years old, we wanted more. Her roles in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls showcased her enormous comedic chops. She was under pressure 70 years ago in 1954, to remove Black tap dancer Arthur Duncan from "The Betty White Show" but she refused and gave him more camera time instead. Watch her bloopers from "Hot in Cleveland" and react to "The Proposal". You will love it.
So Brigdet fonda, action movie, "Point of no return", bill Pullman fun movie, Independence Day", Oliver platt fun movie, Disney's "Three Muskateers" the 80's. Or the original "flatliners". A rom com with Betty White, "the proposal".
The sarcasm in this movie blows me away!!
Oh and Betty White! And Bridgette Fonda!!
Amazing!!! 😃
I never realized how freaking funny that movie was.
6:24 Lol y'all recently watched Bill Pullman play as "*LONE STARR*_ in Spaceballs!
The fish and wildlife officer is Bill Pulman he was lonestar in Space Balls
The sarcasm in this movie kills me
One of my 'go to' movies for a laugh and 'scare' 😂❤ Bill Pullman sooo underrated. Please watch While You Were Sleeping with him and Sandra Bullock ❤
There's actually a Lake Placid in Central Florida, & i actually lived there when this movie came out. 😳 i lived across the lake from my father & the gators & crocs were real! & real scary😮
