* ShockingMoments: [[spoiler: Anyone who goes into the first film unspoiled about the bear scene is in for a ''treat.'' It's on par with the SignatureScene from a similar film, ''Film/DeepBlueSea'' only less mean-spirited, depending on who you ask.]]

** Ellie from the third movie gets some interest for being a rare MsFanservice and NiceGirl combination for the franchise and being an ActionSurvivor in a franchise where most long-lasting characters are straight-up fighters or related to said fighters.

* TheScrappy: Kelly, her constant nagging and negativity visibly annoyed the characters and tended to have the same effect on the audience. It also doesn't help that she's TheLoad who doesn't contribute any knowledge that would help them catch the crocodile ''considering that is the only reason she's present.''

* WhatAnIdiot: Aaron in ''Lake Placid 3''. Had he choose to follow Ellie to the gunshot noises, he along with Brett would've survived the film but nope. He decided to be an ass and talk about Brett's infidelity and takes the wrong path before becoming croc chow.

** Creator/BrendanGleeson as Sheriff Hank Keogh sets a bar for competence and humor that the various sheriffs who succeed him struggle to meet. Keogh is fourth in the credits, but feels like he might have been a better protagonist than Scott, Kelly, or Hector.



** Many fans agree that Brittany from ''4'' is surprising likable (eventually) and realistically affected by the attacks for a character who starts out as the AlphaBitch.

** ''Lake Placid: The Final Chapter'' is also agreed to be better than the second film but worse than the first. Whether or not it's better than ''3'' is a bit debated.

** ** In the second film, there is a lot of potential for [[HyperCompetentSidekick Ahmad]] to get fed up with his boss and turn on him, strike out on his own, or display some HiddenDepths that way, but it never happens. His boss Jack Struthers, and Larry, who provide a lot of the comic relief of the movie, are also treated as fairly disposable characters, after the first movies efforts to preserve the sources of humor and stay out of generic creature flick territory.

** Reba from ''3'', ''4'', and ''Film/LakePlacidVsAnaconda' due to being an entertaining badass who points out all of the stupid shit other people do. This is probably why she returned in ''4'', considering she seemingly died in the third one ([[MutualKill along with the croc that supposedly did the deed]]).
