Ahhhh, Mr. Coiffure has been Lake Placid'ed. YAY Betty White!

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.

Really wanted to see gatorlady gazing at Adidas cop as she lovingly brushes cigarette embers off his shirt

I hope I get eaten by gators before I ever end up as a number one boy

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....

More characters in this 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.

Oh thank god we have a horrifying chauvinist. I was worried this wasn't an 80s movie at all.

Also, an improvised economy has developed in the park following these alligator murders. Somebody is selling plush alligators (cute). Someone else is selling a live baby alligator (more cute).

The scientist is the girl from the first scene? Can she quell its reign of terror with the power of true love?

So let me see if I've got the plot so far;

Ramon was playing Counterstrike and his opponent called the cops, now he's got a SWAT team outside his home? #Monsterdon

Razor wire and sandbags! Shotguns! Fishing nets..?

Oh, bazookes and automatic rifles. OK, yep, American movie from the 80s, confirmed. Anyone taking bets on whether the film ends with Ramon taking a rocket propelled grenade Γ  la Grizzly?

Bluedepth

That's how you irritate the CHUD's by the way.

Why was Madison doodling on his bed in front of the TV in front of a poster that says RAMΓ“N SANTIAGO? Is that a name I should recognize, other than because our hero alligator is also named Ramon?

He really wants that license plate posed just right. Okay, now do angry, can you do angry for me? Now do naughty. Yeah, that's it, you're a naughtly license plate.

Wow, I mean they were mostly quite respectful toward the female scientist. Strange. Are we sure this was 1980?

On the drive back from the science factory, we learn the journalist is writing a hit piece on the detective and the other cops are teasing the detective by putting a toy alligator on his locker, which he takes with what can best be described as annoyed stoicism.

Meanwhile the journalist is interviewing the nurse and learning that the detective was talking about alligators in the sewers, meaning he might join the quest somehow.

Ring the dinner bell, journalists make the best giant alligator chow! EAT THEM ALL. NO HUMAN IS INNOCENT. THEY ARE ALL MEALS.

The detective and his boss go to meet the Reptile Science Master to learn about alligators and how big they can get. Reptile Science Master is a pretty girl, which (unfortunately) means she's probably also a love interest for our so far uninteresting detective character (sigh).

The alligator eats the blonde cop, or at least disappeared him, but then the detective escapes through a manhole and passes out. He wakes up in a hospital and then his nurse, his boss, and a journalist all appear to pester him.

The detective wants him to take some time off, the journalist wants to write a story because the detective's tragic backstory is that he lost a partner before and now it's happened again and now he wants to write a story about it.

Funny how the nurse just ran out of the room, and returns his boss

It's pretty disconcerting to have your first words upon achieving consciousness be "There you are!" in an accusatory tone. #monsterdon

Journalists work is never done, pack shotgun with lemon juice and rock salt, fire, reload.
