An experimental growth hormone is accidentally released into the South American jungle. This causes the local alligator population to grow to ten times normal size. A house in the jungle is besieged by the vast monsters, and it falls to International Rescue to save the people within!


  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Alligators
  • Hoist by His Own Petard - Culp, the bad guy who released the growth hormone into the swamp, gets eaten by a giant gator himself.
  • No Animals Were Harmed - Unfortunately not the case. The production team used electric shocks to get the gators to go where they wanted. Some members of the production team refused to cooperate. There was a representative from the RSPCA on set to ensure a minimalisation of animal abuse. Still, some of the baby gators sustained injuies. They were also rather agressive and one of them apparently ate the legs off a Lady Penelope puppet.
  • Slurpasaur
  • Special Effects Failure: It is very obvious that the "giant" alligators are baby gators, and that they're chasing little puppet men.
