Gator Bait 2 picks up ten years after part one left off, and the little boy from the original movie has grown up and is marrying a girl from the city named Angelique. The wedding is a particularly amusing part of the film, because not only do the bride and groom inexplicably wear dollar bills on their outfits, but the fancy wedding feast consists of a huge pile of some kind of crustacean, poured carelessly onto a folding table out of a garbage can, for crying out loud. And then for their honeymoon, this true romantic takes Angelique out into the swampy woods and teaches her how to be a redneck. But then again, this kind of thing would be expected, because on one side of the aluminum boat that took the place of the post-wedding limo is painted the old saying, `Just Married,' while the other side bears the charming phrase, `Pop that cherry!!'
(spoilers) As was the case in the first film, the script is absolutely horrendous, but here, the performances were pathetic as well. It's strange that Big T's (the little boy form part one) new bride would have an exotic sounding name like Angelique, because this guy can hardly speak intelligibly. And how did he meet a city girl, anyway? This guy could not possibly have been out of the woods for more than a day of his entire life, and even then only to discover that he could never survive in the civilized world. It's weird that all of the evil rednecks in this film come off as more intelligent than the supposed hero.
And, as was also the case in the first film, these are some SERIOUS rednecks. Again, these people are so ugly and dumb that it's difficult to believe that they're real humans. Yes, these are the true bottom feeders of the human race, a group of men so idiotic that the leader of them, Leroy, states that `the only way to reckon with these people is to kill them.' They are once again the brainless, horny rednecks that we saw in part one, and evidently their goal is to murder Big T and take his city wife out into the woods and rape her spurred on by the fact that it was Big T's sister, Desiree, that killed Leroy's brother in part one, and also left Leroy himself out in the woods to die. So they shoot Big T and, in true James Bond form, leave him alive for some unlikely force to finish him off. It's fine that we know he won't die, but all that happens is we see him thanking some witch-doctor looking man `for saving my life,' as he borrows the 80-something year old man's shotgun and heads back into the woods, paddling around in circles one-handedly in another aluminum boat.
The chase scenes were entertaining enough, especially given the incessant banjo soundtrack, and Angelique's nudity is still exploitative but not as much as in the original film. At least here, she's half naked because the rednecks interrupted her while she was dressing and she was forced to run wearing what she had on. Also, the way that she killed one of the rednecks with a bag full of rattlesnakes (by far the most inbred one of the whole bunch except maybe for Big T) was pretty creative, but it's strange how heartbroken Leroy was about that, seeing how he had just ruthlessly cut the throat of one of his own men.
With Gator Bait 2, you pretty much get what you expect. Part one actually had several redeeming values, but this one had virtually none. Everything about the relationship between Big T and Angelique is totally unconvincing, and the sheer idiocy of every single character in the film, good or bad, prevents the development of any feelings for anyone, leaving you not caring about what happens to any of them, and even more disappointed at the ending.
