Lake Placid: Collector's Edition [Blu-ray] [1999] [US Import] [Region A] [NTSC]

Love this movie it has me laughing every time

Always loved this film cheesy but funny.

Small-town Maine sheriff Brendan Gleeson is out of his depth when a body, bitten in half, is pulled from the local lake. Allergic to country air, New York palaeontologist Bridget Fonda joins park ranger Bill Pullman on a dicey fact-finding mission. Soon they’re in over their heads, too, and face-to-face with a prehistoric 30ft crocodile. “An Asian crocodile in Maine?” says Gleeson, understandably nonplussed. “I’ve never heard of crocodiles swimming oceans before.” “Well,” sneers wealthy croc-hunter Oliver Platt, “they conceal information like that in books.” It’s the genuinely joky tone that lifts Steve Miner’s smartly-paced pond-shocker out of the rut. Gleeson’s crumpled indignation at a succession of sarcastic put-downs is a particular joy to behold, and the hugely impressive croc has his moments too.

Suspense and laughs, my son and I loved this, good fun , great movie. Recommend.

This is a very simple, unpretentious movie about a crocodile, a posh lady from a museum, a grumpy sheriff and a crocophile nutcase (not to mention Betty White being Batty White which is always worth seeing) and a massive croc (not a real one of course, but a very VERY credible pretendy one). It's much better than a whole raft of much more expensive movies and I really do recommend it to you. It's worth it if only for White and Gleeson and the crocodile.

Can't believe I haven't written a review for this . It is one of those films I return to every 5 years or so. A lovely transfer (bars top and bottom) good clear picture and sound, and good subtitles. For me this is one of the best "monster/croc/Alligator type films. The CGI is very realistic (I don't care if some don't agree). The croc is truly scary and some of the shock scenes are just that - shocking and scary. Plenty of humour, though why it was necessary to make Betty White quite so potty mouthed remains a mystery. Brendan Gleeson as the puzzled irritable sherrif steals the film, closely followed by the rest of the cast. Bridget Fonda - a bit of a comedown? Don't you believe it. She is gorgeous and feisty, even if she does scream a lot. I was surprised to see that the attractive deputy "Gare" was played by Meredith Salenger, who had been assured of a big career but here gets very low billing. Plenty of laughs, tension and action. A lovely way to pass 80 minutes. Highly recomended (just be aware of the "f ing" from Betty and occasionally others.)

The film was ok

Lake Placid es igual de buena -incluso se parece- a otra cinta ochentera de nombre ‘Alligator’, pero a diferencia de la anterior y su presupuesto modesto, está cinta con un presupuesto elevado no dio más que para 1 hora y 20 minutos de película, y pudieron ofrecer algo más...Esta entretenida, el guion es lo mejor; mucho humor negro, además de buen gore y el cocodrilo - a veces CGI, a veces animatronico- esta imponente.Buenas actuaciones de buenos actores: Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt, Brendan Gleeson y la genial Betty White con su iconica linea: 'if I had a dick, this is where l'd tell you to suck it'.El Blu-ray de Shout Factory tiene audio y subtítulo en inglés.NO tiene audio ni subtítulo en español.

I love this film. It's scary and funny and Betty White, bless her soul, what a wonderful comic she was. Everyone is fantastic.

Super film bonne intrigue, j'adore.

Lake placid did not play on my blu ray because of invalid regio code. Did not see that in the specifications. Misses my return window by one day, 26 euro mistake. Bumber
