Basically all i remember as a kid is that single footage of a huge crocodile with a mouth wide open and he’s about to eat a man, I’ve seen this footage in early 90’s, so I guess it made before 90s… I’m not sure it was an American movie (or a movie at all), but it’s worth trying, after all – yesterday people here were amazingly helpful!
In case it helps, I made a quick photo edit to describe the shot as I remember it:
Thanks!
“Alligator” (1980)?
Here is a trailer.
“The Great Alligator” (1979)?
“Dark Age” (1987)?
Looks like Dinocroc to me. Corman flick, 2004

Could also be Primeval (2007) – Another awesome giant croc movie

Although, just realized both of these are post 90’s.
Ah, it’s Lake Placid (1999)

Thank you guys, but nope. doesn’t look like my movie :\
And yes, it must be something made before 1990-1992…
I remembered this title and thought maybe… although not pre 90’s

Crocodile (2000)

If it’s none of the gators, my obvious guess would be Killer Crocodile (1989) or Killer Crocodile II (1990)

If it’s neither of them, I may have one or two obscure guesses. In case OP ever even reads this, that is 😅
