B-movie to its core. 70’s styles and customs. But better than I expected it to be. Thanks @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for a fun Sunday night! That's Alligator off the list! #Monsterdon
ooooOOOooo INDIRECT KISS!
gordon "the alligator" gekko here
We are getting more rasslin 😃
Well wrestling intros...
#Monsterdon #Alligator2
#monsterdon end badly but lots cops and bourgeois being eaten that's nice !
Aww. I want more wrestling. I wanna see a big burly guy try to out wrestle the gator.
#Monsterdon #Alligator2
oh wow alligator 2 is _even more_ a 1:1 jaws retread, okay
@Crazypedia @rebeld Ah, well, that's fair but I guess I figured you don't have to be that smart to run away when an alligator is right in front of you trying to eat you
High-class pro wrestling! This movie just keeps getting better!
@starkraving666 And we had Garak last week? How many more DS9 cast members can we get into Wrong Frogs?
#Monsterdon #Alligator2
@rebeld@mstdn.ca @diazona@techhub.social I counted the "smart human nopes out of there" when Kelly noticed his gun had no effect, turned tail and ran, dragging our main character with him back up the sewers. 🐊 #Monsterdon #monsterdonBingo
aw, cmon lady, at least he's letting you in on his life!!
@rebeld ohhhhh yeah that's right
Doesn't count since I didn't catch it in the moment though
On a less happy note, this is like the third week in recent memory I've gotten a majority of the card full without getting bingo 😢
if only the two scientists could talk to each other.
@floatybirb Yes like you said it was curiously a big blob of nothingness and not caring.
"I sent a sample to your wife!"
O'Shala ne Ochala
Didn’t quite get a blackout. #monsterdon #alligator #alligator1980
WAT lelz
that kid's either gonna be traumatized, or cold-blooded.
his kid and wife died years ago, didn't they?
@moira @diazona @miru yeah here in Canada all #Monsterdon presentations are after dark on this side of the equinoxes
@combatwombat @davesdogmaggie
OMG. I'm laughing out loud.
#monsterdon
@_L1vY_
...cuz you'd seen this movie before?
Nice junk shot. #monsterdon #alligator #alligator1980
There are sequels! Alligator II - The Mutation and Alligator X - a Unix system #monsterdon #alligator
So Schlitz did something nice for this film, and they still had this scene in it?
#monsterdon
That was a movie about a giant-ass alligator!
Many thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink and #MonsterdonTrivia, and all of you for making it awesome!
Welp, final score, Ed the Disappearer 13, Ramon 12. But the real victory was the assholes who were eaten along the way.
Thanks for hosting, @Taweret and see you next time, #Monsterdon !
From this trailer, Alligator II has the exact same plot. Like exactly the same. Just swap out a few more recognizable character actors. Replace wedding with carnival.
#Monsterdon #Alligator2
I couldn't give this movie a bottom ranking because I did like seeing the actual beast, despite not enjoying any of the humans in this film. Two stars because I'm feeling generous https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/alligator/ #monsterdon #letterboxd
🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this scaley surprise!
🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My fave: "Tail lashes out"
🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: The scroll speed was ridiculous. I went to click favorite and ended up favoriting one three posts later. All great stuff! Can't wait until next time!
Another one #monsterdon #alligator
@cd0 maybe? it could also have just been the alligator that the park guy was selling in a box? maybe it later got dumped into the sewers?
@apLundell Right? A real waste of a plot point. She could have had just as much guilt as him! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon🐊 🐊 🐊 💩 🩸 😱
Ramon deserved better.
but at least it's over. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and @cherizilla for bingo and @JoeWynne for trivia and all you glorious #Monsterdonians for making it fun!
Wait!! Do we get a sequel? #Monsterdon
I am still watching! Does the detective badmouth his new girlfriend's mother at the end of every version of the movie?
btw @ryan is good people. #monsterdon
@diazona All I know is, there were a lot of sins
Amazon Prime decided the next movie should be Tremors. #monsterdon #alligator
KABOOM!
We done blowed up the gator we're all good for another dozen years or so until the next Smol Gator receives the full sewer treatment.
THE END
I was rather disappointed the gator didn't get a tender reunion moment with the leading lady but it was still fun to watch the carnage amongst the cops and rich people
Thanks for the cold blooded #Monsterdon destruction @Taweret !
Tubi started autoplaying Tentacles (1977) so I guess I'm watching that until I'm ready for bed
Chief Clark mentions to David that there is a fine for damaging city property, like setting off dynamite in a sewer system.
The sewer isn't going to fix itself!
thanks @Taweret for hosting another fun #monsterdon. stay safe all!
@yatsu It's no Tremors, but it'll do :P #Monsterdon
Pros: an actual plot. With holes, but a plot nonetheless. Actors who could act, more or less. Some nice costume choices.
Cons: Gratuitous child death, also dog death
Par for the course: misogyny, racism, and (last & least) lots of smoking
@cocaine_owlbear One of the best Giant Monster flicks of the 80s.. Not like there's much competition... #monsterdon #alligator1980
y'know this movie REALLY benefited from following vampires of bikini beach
i mean
it was shot using actual professional equipment, they had people who had been in a movie before, the camera operators could track action
all sorts of improvements
@amyfou Storm troopers!? #monsterdon
@cullen_waters loved every minute of it.
Very anticlimactic!
Closing the mendhole cover to end the film was a nice last touch
-fin
And I got a #MonsterdonBingo!

#Monsterdon #Aligator1980
ok, I guess some poor class solidarity there with the staff at the wedding, he got a little overzealous
Anyway, the usual abrupt monsterdon ending! See y'all next time and thanks @Taweret !
Did she just phase through the car door
Thank you @Taweret , for hosting another great #Monsterdon
The sequel is a giant, murderous chameleon. Nobody can see it...until it's too late.
#monsterdon
"Harry Lime Lives!" HA See we can reference an actual good movie. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants and stay out of those sewers. #Alligator #Monsterdon
A wonderful night of #Monsterdon for sure. Thank you everyone, see you next week!
And that was certainly a movie we all watched together.
Thanks for making it fun guys. That was neat.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow!
@jivens what about us?... What about Bob? #monsterdon
They bought those clocks in bulk. #Monsterdon
@amyfou They really did.
#Monsterdon
How did the alligator know where the poetic justice was?
That was incredible. Thanks friends see you next week!! #monsterdon #alligator1980
@Taweret And thanks for hosting :) #monsterdon
There's always a bigger reptile
Nice 'Third Man' reference graffiti
Ramon Jr!.
But wait! There's more!
Omigosh the teeny baby at the end! What a perfect child!
#Monsterdon #Alligator1980
Ah, I should have included the classic "later alligator".
@wohali The grill has to be screamin hot... #monsterdon
The chief reminds me of the paramedic chief from "Bringing Out The Dead"
@xerozohar That's what she said.
#monsterdon Those little chunks of stuff flying around in the explosion? Bryan Cranston's work, ladies and gentlemen.
And now . . . The Ramones!
#Monsterdon #Alligator1980
"we got him" "we sure did" said with the certainty of someone who doesn't know Alligator II has already been greenlit. #monsterdon
SEQUEL SETUP!
Poetic manhole cover wipe..
So ... will there be a beating alligator heart at the bottom of the sewer?
Poor Ramone. Still, in his short career, he did a lot of good for the world. #Monsterdon
@apLundell was just the timer he wanted I guess?
Well, that's a crap. Not the worst, far from the best, it's another #monsterdon in the end.
Thanks everone for making my sunday night again!
What an explosive ending!
If its head is facing him, why does it use its tail?
#monsterdon
her MOTHA! #monsterdon
@Axiom the gas mask and bomb store.
@brooke i'm wondering the same thing #monsterdon
Wait, so he planted the bomb INSIDE the gator?
Ramone In Piece. 😢
#Monsterdon #Alligator1980
Wow, it looks like some stunt folk got hurt on that scene..
