Alligators in the sewers. Some call it a urban legend, but this story really comes to life. In "Alligator", there's nothing else to say. A family goes to Florida, see a alligator show in a tourist trap. A little girl buys a baby alligator, take it to Chicago, Ill. The next day, her father flushed her pet down the commode while she was in school. In ended up in the sewers. Twelve years later, body parts started floating in the water sheds. People are getting killed in the sewers. The police want to know who or what is doing the killing. It couldn't be a man. Teeth marks don't resemble. It's a animal. But what? It's the girl's pet alligator named Ramon. It didn't die from being flushed. It grew up in the sewers, feeding off carcasses of lab animals injected with growth hormones. So it grew bigger than usual. At that size, it wrecked the Cadillac like a wrecking ball.
Robert Forester played the policeman known for losing his partners. Bart Braverman who played Benzer on "Vega$" played the reporter who hounded the policeman and goes to get photos of the killer gator.
Plenty of action and entertainment, it's like no other reptile film ever made. A hit! 4 out of 5 stars
