Customer Reviews of Alligator

ALLIGATOR is an awesome film even for an 80's flick! ALLIGATOR is an unreconized classic and is right up there in brilliance with JAWS (if not better). Not to mention the gator FX are very convincing and realistic! ALLIGATOR is so good, it's make LAKE PLACID look like the work of a snot-nosed 6th grader!

PLOT.
A little girl, Marisa Kendall, is impressed by a ferocious alligator that chomps up a man during a gator wresting match and buys a baby gator of her own and names him Ramon. The Kendall father, immediatly hates Ramon and flushes him down the toilet, where he ends up in the Chicago sewers.

12 years later, Ramon has been feeding off the carcasses of dead dog's, injected with growth hormones by Slade Pharmaceutical and has thus mutated into a 30 to 40-foot monster gator! As Officer David Madison puts 2 and 2 together, he discovers that a giant alligator is in the sewers, he knows because he lost his newest partner to Ramon.

The coolest scene is where a bunch of kids are playing street baseball and Ramon emerges from the his sewer home by blasting himself through a sidewalk!

Do yourselves a favor and sink your teeth into ALLIGATOR, even if you do not like monster movies! I have ried so many times to get my brother to watch it, because it is such a wonderful movie! But he was done with monster movies after he saw JAWS, LAKE PLACID and DEEP BLUE SEA!

I hear that ALLIGATOR (as well as its petite sequel, ALLIGATOR 2: THE MUTATION) is available on DVD in the United Kingdom, which (much to my displeasure) it is not, here in America!

NOTE TO AMERICAN STUDIOS: find a VHS copy of this overlooked work of art and put it on DVD! Why? Because then, people wouldn't have to buy a multi-region DVD player just to watch this manificent piece of movie art and because it is so friggin' awesome!

I think some video addicts are missing the point.
Sometimes it takes the fresh eye, the newbie, to find script material in the most obvious places. Larry Cohen does just that. Give him a page two story in the New York times and he's off and running. Another is John Sayles. John Sayles, cut his filmmaking teeth with this movie. (forgive the pun) Sayles is a true, rebel filmmaker who has rejected all of Hollywood trap and worked his way to levels of brillance in such films as "Lone Star." But like many craftsman, like David Cronenberg, Sayles had to start out in the B arena, with just a strange idea and typewriter. He got the idea from a series of urban legends which talked about children flushing small "pet" alligators down toilets in NYC during the middle 70s. I was in radio for quite a number of years and believe me when I tell you these stories ciculated in great numbers. So with tongue firmly in cheek, he crafted a great "big creature" movie. Everything in this movie smacks legendary B movie status. It is a manificent B movie. Superb cast, including the last film ever made by the great Dean Jagger. Even the giant alligator was superbly done. I have seen the film 5 times and never tire of it. Just a flat-out, fun, flick. Get this and treasure it. I can only pray that John Sayles will decide to remake his film with today's technology.

Alligator slow but deadly.
This movie is ancient. Unfortunately most of the people thought It was awful. A little girl buy s and alligator as a pet names him Romeno. The girl father oviously an animal hater flush Romeno down the toliet. He ends up in the sewer.

12 years go by Romnon is now an adult and he is freaking huge. He is know vicious and is 40 feet long to from epsore to grow hormons over the many years buy dead remains of test animals. Suddenly Romnon start acting and devouring people thta enter the streets.

The local police man, and little girl who owned Romon who is now and adult must stop Romenon. Good music with a scare theme for the alligator. It all comes down to the explosive finally.

The police man makes it out of man whole wite mere seconds before the denator goes of blast Romandos scale body to kingdoom koom. If you like gorey movies than Alligator is for you. She the spin chilling sequel alligator II the mutation.
