Reception

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."[3]

Home media

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.
