I saw this terrible kung fu movie sometime in the 1980s on channel 99 at 3am. It's about a guy that turns into a crocodile. The "special effects" were absolutely horrible. The only scene I remember is when the man (as a crocodile of course) had to swallow his master in order to protect him as he swam. Can anyone help me find out the name of this movie?

yes i also remember the movie.
i have no idea what the name of the movie is
and the master died at the end of the movie
and the crocodile was a floating log prop

i would suggest writing ktsf.com
KTSF 26
100 Valley Drive
Brisbane, CA 94005

they were the only station i kinow of that used to air
it in the 80-90s on kung fu theater

I almost thought after 25 year I was go find the answer to my question. I was in the army back from 85-89 at Ft Irwin CA outside of Barstow pulling CQ duty, and I remembered seeing this movie. All I really remember is the crocodile trying to save his master, and his clan beating him in the water (as a crocodile) with sticks calling him a "Damn dirty Grocodile".
Then I remember another scene that went ON and ON and ON when the crocodile guy was talking to some chick. The conversation was something like this:

girl: If you are big and strong, why do you not become ....... a Grocodile?

croc guy: Because I am big and strong, I will become a Grocodile!

girl: Well, if it's true that because you are big and strong you can become a Grocodile, why not become a Grocodile now?

croc guy: Because I am big and strong, I WILL become ....... a Grocodile!

Now, it must be something with the people dubbing this thing, but it always sounded like GROC-odile. Part of the reason I loved this film besides his clan calling him a damned dirty Grocodile.

Man, I wish I could help out here, but I've been wanting to know about this film for years.

the movie is called "the crocodile men"
it came out in 1974
i used the reference counter at the library to find the title
