Well little "Ramon" grows up, and really, really big since a corporation's testing a growth-serum on dogs, and a pet store owner tosses the enlarged, steroid-filled corpses into the Los Angeles sewer that the gator feeds and grows on: The audience learning all this a step before Robert Forster's cop with a past, David, a kind of old school detective type snooping around and ultimately believing what seems farfetched if impossible. Like JAWS, the mayor cares only about money, and there are enough edgy obstacles to make this creature-feature play like a legitimate thriller... <br>

<span style="background-color: white;">It's always annoying when a child opens a film and we're supposed to believe they're the grownup character later on, looking nothing at all like the person: </span><span style="background-color: white;">The opposite is the case with Leslie Brown turning into the gorgeous Robin Riker:.. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">So let's take a multi-photo gander at a perfect example of casting an adult character as a child: our subject being LESLIE BROWN as a young ROBIN RIKER, whose love for Alligators is the intro for the cult classic ALLIGATOR, which leads to the urban legend-inspired plot-point having to do with flushing a baby gator down the toilet till it grows in the sewer... Real big, too. </span><br />
