@Taweret I think the alligators in the movie are a manifestation of the terrible psychic outcomes that occur when society allows cops to become mopey and depressed and their psyche wishes to punish their bosses by eating them instead of coming to terms with their guilt feelings.
The practical effects are really fucking great for some of these scenes, dang
The miserable dribble of xenon-extruded photons leaking out the front of that stack of D cell batteries in Madison's non-gun hand is hilarious and tragic
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was an alligator eating a buncha shitty rich people.
And people wondered why I pushed so hard for this movieβ¦
That barbecue is soo well done, it's murder

A boat rammed into the gator and just ramped up into the air like Fonzie waterskiing, but I'm sure that tiny revolver will do the trick. #monsterdon
Detective Sweater Jacket chases the alligator into the sewers and shoots it with a pistol, this doesn't stop it because, like godzilla, alligators are immune to gun fire.
But it was only a ruse to get the alligator to chase him as Detective Sweater Jacket runs away, donning a gas mask as he escapes through the definitely smelly sewer smoke.
Ok. That was a cool stunt.
#monsterdon
oh yay the doggie escaped
#monsterdon cake violence exceeding that of Frogs (1972) #alligator1980
Having determined through science, their horoscopes and onmyoudou that the alligator would be attacking the rich people party, they show up to the party to ambush it and threaten their way in, only to find that it has left already and they must chase it into the sewers.
The boss cop is too and tries to get Detective Sweater Jacket to stay there and help but the former ignores his former boss because He's On a Mission.

Man only the wait staff are getting eaten!
#monsterdon
holy shit this gator is NOT fucking around
Yeah, student loans are a beast when the country's leading herpetologist lives at home with her mom. #Monsterdon
Oh good. Looks like the gator is going to feed on rich people. GO GATOR!!!! #monsterdon
@apLundell nice going, set dresser #monsterdon
This movie dares to ask the question, "why do the vicious sewer animals seek to punish the wicked?"
Can we get Ramon to eat Bezos next #Monsterdon
The Forrest Gump documentary went into great detail about the challenges of getting people who aren't missing limbs playing characters who are over the edge of boats. It's apparently very challenging. Wonder how they did it here. #monsterdon
Back at the rich people garden party, and alligator appears and starts eating the staff and yeeting the guests into tends with its baseball bat tail.
Everyone runs around and screams and the old rich guy locks himself in his car while another guy (I think the evil scientist) gets eaten. Then the alligator smashes up his car with its 1d12 bludgeoning damage tail.
Hahahahahahahah! The alligator is βheaded straight for Slate mansion.β It knows exactly what its doing.
EAT. THE. RICH.
EAT. THE. RICH.
EAT. THE. RICH.
#Monsterdon #Alligator1980
Did they hire like, one guy with below-the-knee amputations and have him do the scenes? That's why everybody is getting their calves bitten off?
Crunchy shell, chewy center!
lol, rich people betraying each other....
#monsterdon Yay! Dead Rich People! This movie is now turning into a magical almost Disney theme park ride!
This is definitely "eat the rich".
I mean he's not wrong, don't pretend to understand people that fast. #monsterdon
Unkind to the help, man. Not cool.
I hope the gator eats every one of these bougie bastards
You could just let the alligator go live in nature. That's a thing you could do.
I love when we cut to the Angry Sentient Mustache
Detective Sweater Jacket and Reptile Science Master get in a car to chase the alligator, who is going out to sea for some reason I don't understand.
On the way to the sea, the alligator is ambushed by Police Speedboats, the crew of which pelt the gigantogator with rifle bullets, to no effect. Then one speedboat jumps the alligator and fills itself with grenades, then explodes. A crewman escapes and gets his feet eaten.
Wait they had sex before dinner. How modern. #monsterdon
ultimate wedding crasher....
#Monsterdonπ π π π© π©Έ π±
that is *not* a felicitous apology
I know the Gator has eaten people but the gunships thing is harsh......
....oh good, Nature's revenge
Detective Sweater Jacket and Reptile Science Master had a fight that was boring, so he comes back to apologies and make out with her and also have an existential meltdown. On the way to the existential meltdown he meets her mom who flirts with him and also paints pictures and also rambles about everything.
Twist! He's sleeping with her mom!
#monsterdon Apologies are not the way you start a sexual encounter, usually. But the 80's was a strange time. So, suuuuuuure. "I'm sorry!" // βOh yeah baby!β // βI apologize!β // βSooo close! Don't stop!!!β
The ad break is for hair loss meds. I would say that's not a coincidence, but let's be honest, Tubi doesn't use any intelligence in their ad breaks. #monsterdon
That gator's such a Silva-tongued devil.
#monsterdon
Pyyyuck, she's licking her lips and her face is completely bedewed with sewer splashin's π
Hey, free gun!
@hollie I am actually more worried now! :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #monsterdon
Chomp his ass!
These two have zero chemistry

"...when you come at the alligator, you best not miss"
$10 was a lot of money back now.
Sorry but I love that MST3K joke.
#monsterdon
We're just like creeping around getting sloshed in some kind of random alley because ????
How exactly did the gator get in the pool though?#monsterdon #alligator
Kitty! #monsterdon #alligator1980
Ma'am, the lizards are a better target for your affections. #Monsterdon
lol, I think Freud may have had a point....
#monsterdon Ahhhh, Mr. Coiffure has been Lake Placid'ed. YAY Betty White!
Typical guy. Has sex and then just wants to talk, talk, talk...
#monsterdon
Pump-action *rifle*? What a country!
#monsterdon Oh yes, because when you are on a life or death inner-city safari, bourbon is the drink of choice. It will leave you sharp and in-control at all times. Obviously.
one look from a girl and he completely forgets about his lust for vengeance against the gator
Yeah this whole Native Bearer schtick isn't racist *at all* :/ :/ :/ #Monsterdon
Really wanted to see gatorlady gazing at Adidas cop as she lovingly brushes cigarette embers off his shirt
HAHAhahaha oh wow she's really smart but she doesn't seem to know how to put her hair in a towel
Never wear gloves or boots when I go rummaging around in the sewers
Chekov's elitist bastard wedding #monsterdon
#monsterdon Did she not understand how to use a towel?
lol, can't believe the child got ate!
I hope I get eaten by gators before I ever end up as a number one boy
βWhat are we looking for?β
βEvidence of alligator nesting.β
βThatβd be like shoes, handbags, luggageβ¦β
So at the climax of the film Max gets loose and our hero Heroically shoots the alligator, right? #Monsterdon
Evil Scientist is 'Future Son In Law' too....his fall will be spectacular!
@jsadow @hollie And with so short a time, we'll never know. #Monsterdon π
Is he gonna McGuyver a real bomb? Teh heck?

I now believe that this movie is an actual sequel to Food of the Gods. The closing scene in FotG had, as I recall, an accidental release of 'grow-it-big' stuff into the water supply where it was being fed to calves....
You're off the force. For... plot reasons.
Iβm sure that the director wouldnβt film the movie somewhere else and just βpretendβ itβs Missouri
#Monsterdonπ π π π© π©Έ π±
on the other hand, that's kind of a nice hat tip to Food of the Gods
I wonder how many takes of the key catching thing they did or is Robert Forster just that fucking cool?
Gosh, did his eyebrows got growth hormones too?

#alligator1980
More characters in this #monsterdon and their alignments, but instead of good vs evil I'm doing grumpy vs weird:
boss cop (grumpy)
mayor (grumpy)
alligator hunter (weird)
boy who cried 'gator' (neutral)
mom who ignored him (neutral weird)
gator themed park entrepreneurs (weird)
5000 soldiers (neutral)
news interview girl (neutral)
I figure the Alligator Hunter is probably a lvl 1 ranger / lvl 1 bard multiclass.
This is my gator drawing. Chuck Hardknock, channel 10 news.
lol, just walks into the Evidence room on his way of out being fired, love the security here...
Oh thank god we have a horrifying chauvinist. I was worried this wasn't an 80s movie at all. #monsterdon
That's one big pile of shit. #Monsterdon #Alligator
"Wow, people sure do have a lot of pools around here..."
Didn't a Jurassic Park do this with a T-rex?
@strangefour Right? Real effort was put into this... in places. #monsterdon
Cannot get over how much trash is lying around everywhere, filthy city!
