Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the true story of 'Sweetheart,' a 17-foot saltwater crocodile who attacked boats but never humans—until filmmakers decided she needed a body count.
This is actually Sam Worthington's pre-Avatar 'I'm Australian and sweaty' era; he took the role because McLean promised he wouldn't die first.
