The first Alligator movie was a good horror film. The sequel, kind of mirror the first movie, but a little more on the comedic side.
Both have fine cast of stars. The sequel has a few more stars than the first. The violence level is lower.
The baby alligator from the first one raised terror as an adult. Another baby alligator was flushed. It survived the sewers by eating carcasses of lab animals. It killed two fishermen here. An unscrupulous politician trying to turn a housing complex into a shopping mall. Another cop for being a lone wolf or "Solo Lobo" trying to find the mutant reptile. Unlike the first movie, the sequel deals with the dumping of chemicals. And more hunters trying to take out the mutant.
Joseph Bologna, Brock Peters, Dee Wallace, and other actors did help out this movie. Only if there's more action to it.
The first movie has more horror, this movie has more star power. No putdowns here.
2.5 out of 5 stars
