A baby alligator is flushed down a Chicago toilet and survives by eating discarded laboratory rats injected with growth hormones. The small reptile grows gigantic, escapes the city sewers, and goes on a rampage.

Lol, I saw parts of this when I was a kid and all I remember is a really cheesy shot of the alligator walking down the middle of a street. (wary)

Lol, I'm watching it now, it's pretty good. I'm about an hour into it. Robert Forster was pretty sexy in the 80's (coffee)

So I just finished this, and I liked it. The last 20 minutes alone make this movie, though it could have used a little more action in it through out the earlier parts. Am I the only one who felt sad when the alligator got flushed down the toilet as a baby? (wary) Also, the stuff about the dogs? (cry) Also, I give them points for

Robert Forster and Robin Riker made some really good leads, and I liked them both a lot.

If the whole movie had been like the wedding scene, than this probably would be in my top four kiler alligator/crocodile movies, but as it is, it's just a good creature feature to watch probably once, and that's it.

Alligator is a blast! It's a very clever script and Lewis Teague's direction is perfect for this giant creature film.

Cherry, absolutely yes, I did feel awful for the poor pups, and the flushing is always hard to watch. I just want to scream at the screen, " Nooooooo! Don't flush him!! I'll take Ramon! "
And the point you make in your spoiler is spot on! Love that they went there.

This instantly grabbed my attention with the sort-of attack at the beginning, lol. Marissa's dad was such a fucking tool. I really wish that the alligator had gotten him somehow but nope. The douchiest character of the movie is one of the only ones who is never placed in harm's way. (un) That baby alligator was adorable.

Robert Forster WAS pretty attractive in this. The one big dude with the glasses reminded me of...the big dude with glasses in Jurassic Park. Kelley was adorable. The deaths in the sewers were okay I guess but sometimes it got WAY too dark in this movie. I was relieved when

I'm pretty sure the main girl was the owner of that alligator but they were sort of muddy when it came to explaining that. I was also half expecting an 'emotional' scene of her and the full grown alligator recognizing eachother from her childhood or something. (suicide)

Joey's mom was hilarious, the car crash was pretty cool, I liked the cop's death and I was pretty shocked when

(shock) I cracked up at all the random people on the streets trying to cash in on the alligator stuff going on by selling random shit. The wedding scene was AWESOME. The ending as a whole was just average.

Overall, this was pretty good but nothing all that special. >_>

5.5/10 quality, 7/10 entertainment.
