Lake Placid is still one of my favorites, great cast, humor and good effects.
“In the 70s, even remote tribes have the funk!”
Groovy, baby, yeah!!
People not knowing the difference between an alligator and a crocodile, is *still* not as bad as the WatchMojo girl calling an alligator an amphibian.
Gators and crocs are basically the same animal anyway, just evolved to similar niches in different areas/ecosystems (convergent evolution).
Amphibians, not so much.
@@michaelccozens No Shit
🤔🤣🤣🤣
The movie should be named: What a Croc!🐊🐊
@@michaelccozensthere are actually biological differences between the two. You can hold a Gators mouth shut easily...you can't with a crock.
Alligator, crocodile, or flying battleship? The world may never know...
Most under-appreciated comment EVER!
@@TallSilentGuy I agree with you, It was Very unappreciated
No it’s just chuck testa
But do they know how many licks or takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop
it's too small to be a Flying Battleship, perhaps it's an Alligator with a giant claw?😉
The difference between an alligator and crocodile is that one you see later and the other you see in a while....
Alligators
Have the:
U shaped snout and crocodiles have the:
V shape snout xD I
Do
Find that joke
Funny but I think I ruined it now •-•
#RimShot
Also crocodiles have more pointier snouts than alligators.
Facts, u r clearly a man of science
Also you never smile at a crocodile.
I'm watching this on the night shift, and my best work bud (our 50 year old biker maintenance man) walked by and saw my screen paused on some random scene with Barbara Bach, and he says, "Oh hey, I know her--that's Ringo Starr's wife, Barbara something."
I don't know why, I just found it so funny that my shitty B-movie life and work life just casually crossed over. I then proceeded to tell him that Barbara Bach somehow got roped into this terrible killer alligator/crocodile jungle exploitation movie, and he just shook his head and chuckled, "Oh, man." Oh, man, indeed.
Neat
Funny enough, they show that hippos are native to this area. And hippos are actually more dangerous than crocodiles.
*Way* more dangerous. Hippos are fiercely territorial, shockingly fast both in and out of the water, have razor-sharp tusks, and skin so thick they were thought to be bulletproof until the advent of more modern munitions. Far and away the #1 killer in Africa, especially since they like to come out of the water at night to graze, but really don't like people getting between them and the river.
A hippo will smush a crocodile without breaking stride.
Hippos are actually one of the most dangerous animals on earth. The are big, strong, territorial, and highly aggressive.
@@markcarpenter6020 Also... there are Alligators in Asia..... more specifically CHINA, I'd generally be more scared of saltwater crocs though... and this is an area that probably has those. I mean... the real Sri Lanka has salties, so this fictional country probably does. Like everything touching the Indian ocean kinda does. Seriously... Salties are the biggest reptiles on Earth right now. Sri Lanka probably also has Gharials, but... they're not known for killing people. They're kinda small.
A difference between a crocodile and an alligator is an alligator has a U shaped snout, while a crocodile has a v shaped snout.
The more you know.
TheGreaterGood80 That too.
On top of that, crocs are much more aggressive and nearly impossible to train for use in film and television.
Lycan Seijin Really? Never really knew that.
And Caimans have ventral armour, lack a bony septum, have longer, more slender teeth, and are generally smaller. :-)
@Frankenstein077 I think we're done with the crocodilian trivia, thanks.
to tell the difference have a close look. the one that sees you later is the alligator the one that sees you in a while is the crocodile .
9:21 Such a short Monty Python reference, yet so perfectly executed.
What if it is some kind of hybrid. Some ghastly mutant, a crocogator!
Mmm! I smell a future Asylum franchise 😎.
Tyrant Gregcag
When does it fight the Sharktopus?
Crocogator vs Boaython!
Crocogator and boathon vs cuttle puss
Maybe it could fight mega shark or crocosaurus I'd watch that
I fucking love Crocodiles and Alligators and the fact that your reviewing killer Alligator movies is awesome!
You should watch lake placid it is the
When the lady who looks like the singer Sade appeared, I couldn't help but sing "Smooth alligator... smooooooth alligaaaatoooooor !"
You should definetly do the 1981 Alligator movie. Hell a little kid gets eaten.
And his friends are like "Fuck this shit - let's get out of here before we get blamed!"
Wait till he starts reviewing the cheesy syfy originals, like lavalantula and dinocroc
You mean scifi
spidtz I liked both of those.🤣
@@sorinjimenez8114 no, Syfy is a TV channel I think
10:33 I guess that's exactly why they did it. "Coccodrillo" (crocodile) sounds goofier than "alligatore" (alligator) in Italian and it's even used in children's rhymes. They wanted the title to sound more menacing so they used alligatore.
Can we all agree that there needs to be more movies about killer horses?
Devil creatures
Jersey Devil? At least it's got a horse head.
they usually get killed as soon as they kill a person.
what about the fearsome capybara? Now there's a killer with a motive. During lent, they get hunted for food because the Catholic church has declared them as fish, since they live in the water for most of their lives. Now there's a movie! "This lent, stay out of the Amazon."
Killer 🦄
Fun fact. In the Italian dubbing of the movie "Alligator" (1980), the animal is always called "crocodile" and honestly I never understood why, given that in Italy we don't use the same name for both species: "alligator" is "alligatore"and "crocodile" is "coccodrillo".
Hmm... always wondered where my old bath toy as a kid disappeared to... 🤔
11:10 That joke made me laugh for a different reason, 40K of Ram would actually have been a lot for a 70s gaming platform, practically the Batcomputer. ^_^ Eg. The 2600 had 0.128K.
Fairly new sub, You are massively underrated Brandon! You deserve to be so much bigger! Love the amount of effort put into every single video!
The John Holmes cameo makes this Oscar Worthy.
9:05 An orangutan and a hippo in the same location? LOL I am reminded of certain scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life. "A hippo in Asia!?"
10:05 Well there is a species of alligator in China. But it is so small it's not that dangerous. Also crocodiles tend to be more aggressive than alligators so maybe a killer crocodilian movie should just have crocs.
A hippo in Asia? There is only once place where you can find hippos there, and it's called a "zoo". Wow, the Italian mockbuster of We Bought a Zoo looks...weird.
Take a shot every time Brandon says Alligator
Brandon Tenold, for your next video, you should most definitely do a review on the the 1961 Danish monster movie; Reptilicus.
"It's!"
Nice Monty Python reference. I applaud you.
That was a GREAT Thanksgiving treat, Canadian! Thank you! And your ending credit music from the movie, at 18:12, is mixing perfectly with my cocktail. I am literally growing an ascot out of my neck!
Don't forget Lake Placid 2 and 3. Where Betty White is replaced Florence Leachman.
this movie just shows how good the movie Alligator from 1980 was
Eaten Alive was based on true events of a guy killing people and feeding them to his crocodile or alligator.
Shawn Young can I have more information or something like that? I’m interested for
Some reason xD but when did it happen?
Murdermus Prime I own it but have never watched it is it any good?
Yeah, as long as you're not expecting another 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. It was tamer than that, but kind of along the same lines, except with one psycho (played by Neville Brand of all people!!!) instead of a family. It also has a young Robert Englund.
@@imgonnasnaponeday6662 it's cheesy 70s horror film, I enjoyed a lot though
Cool, thanks! Title sounds like a bit of a misdirect, though; if the people are already dead, they're not being eaten alive. Still, makes for exciting copy!
So, to paraphrase Brick Top, beware of anyone with pigs *or* crocs/gators, though people probably already guessed that last part.
Odds on Steve Irwin being a secret crime-lord? Maybe the stingray thing was the world's most elaborate hit. Irwin v Doolittle or something (tell me you wouldn't watch that).
Alligators have U shaped faces and live in freshwater like lakes, slow rivers, and swamps, such as Southeast US, Central America, and Most of South America.
Crocodiles have V shaped faces and live in more tropical climates, and sometimes even saltwater, such as Central America, the very tip of Southern Florida, Southeast Asia, South Asia, some of Oceania, and most of Sub-saharan Africa.
Crocodiles got triangular snouts, alligators got rectangular snouts. Crocs also got sharper teeth, and grow larger.
NooneofImportance actually the snout rule is wrong in some cases. There are actually crocodiles with very wide snouts and some caimans, which are relatives of alligators, have more triangular snouts. Also in some species juveniles crocodile may have a thinner snouts but as they get older their snout becomes wider.
i think we all know the difference between a alligator and a crocodile.
And Caimans have ventral armour, lack a bony septum, have longer, more slender teeth, and are generally smaller. :-)
You can drive gators and wear crocs on your feet.
Aren't gators also usually darker in color? Most crocs I've seen are usually gray or brownish. I've seen some gators that are almost black in complexion.
Probably after sharks, its likely alligators/crocodiles, then snakes, piranha, and then insect/spider and leaches as for possible chain of giant/killer animal movies. Then to add, the massive amount Asylum produced for SciFi/SyFy.
When you visit Florida, this isn't horror movie, it's a vacation!
“They should be safe as long as they don’t go on the water”
Brandon, that’s like expecting someone who is shown a big red button to not press it. It’s a horror movie they *have* to do everything opposite of what they’re supposed to
Very long ago, I was Gaming on the C128 from my aunt. I did that regularly with no problem at all. I was 10 years old then. And some day, my uncle told me to not change the disk, when a game is loading. Whatdid I do? Yes, I tried it and destroyed the disk drive.
You should do the American Alligator movie! There was one scene from that movie that I saw as a 4 or 5 year old and I mimicked it almost every time I played with my toys
This is probably my favorite review of yours, the alligator/crocodile jokes get me every time
Barbara Bach?! Crap. They used the wrong Bond Girl. Now Brandon can't play "Warrior of Love."
You know in my headcanon all the illustrations in your thumbnails are chapters in one hell of an autobiography.
In Germany, the movie is called "The Holy Beast of the Kumas" (translated). Do croc or alligator movies! Keep up the good work!
“Wait a minute… this was no helicopter accident!” Says the DP on Twilight Zone: The Movie
The "It's!" Monty Python bit has me cracking up. Nice one!
The "Smile you son of a bitch!" bit amused me more than it should have. Bravo.
Good choice in the art- the damsel is pleading "aren't you the hero to save me?" and Brandon's "look, I'm Canadian, not Rambo, what do you expect me to do?"
Hey that little red-headed girl was in House by the Cemetery! Small world. 😂
Your reviews are great. They always perfect; I can tell you take your time making them. A lot of hard work been put in them
*VENOMOUS* if it bites you and you die its venomous. If it bites you and it dies, its poisonous!
That means *you're* poisonous
@@callmeishmael5742 I thought it meant you were Chuck Norris.
@@callmeishmael5742Lol!
10:55 The funny irony here is that a crocodile grows to be MUCH bigger than an alligator. There are certain Saltwater Crocs that have been found that make most gators look like geckos! XD
Also, there ARE Alligators in Asia, but only in China.
Not to mention they are critically endangered!
What isn't, in China?
Chinese alligators aren't nearly big enough to have humans on their menu. They eat snails, fish, and sometimes ducks.
And yeah, if you wanted to find one in Sri Lanka, you should check the zoos in the bigger cities, not the rivers in the jungle.
Love the subtle Monty python reference😂
Best killer tiger movie is Burning Bright. Super underrated film!
7:13...Oh, hi, May, from House By The Cemetery!
The difference between an Alligator and a Crocodile is how much budget you get and the next best thing available in your local toy store
forget the alligator/crocodile , it's the KUMA you should be worrying about! :)
Congratulations, now you have a year's worth of Crocodile and Gator movies to go throughXD
found your channel around a month ago and wasnt sure you still made videos. so glad you are. plus no mention of Barbara Bach in Caveman? damn dude. thought youd be right on that
If this was like the ghost and the darkness with alligators it could have been pretty cool.
When are you gonna review another King Kong knockoff like Yeti Giant of the 20th Century?
Jack Buchanan YOOOO, you like Brendan Tenold too?
Holy shit one of my subscription channels Hi
"I need a sweet communicator that I can give my Alligator to!"~Paul McCartney (Best Alligator Reference ever)🐊🐊🐊🐊
loved the monty python reference 😂
At 15:00, it's a nice comment to make about Mel Ferrer being such a "trouper."
(Of course, there's a similar comment about Doug McClure in the "People That Time Forgot" review.)
The guy with fricken grey called it a crocodile, this movie should be called the croc who had a growth spurt!
I'm surprised you haven't reviewed Night Breed yet, dude.
There are also only two species of alligator, one in the United States and one in China. Crocodiles are woldwide, though only one species is in the Americas. South America is ruled by caimans, and the gharial is native to India.
Also, while the Saltwater Crocodile is the largest living reptile at 23 feet long, their ancestors reached gigantic sizes, such as the 30-foor caiman Purrasuarus, the 40-foot alligator Deinosuchus, and the 50-foot gharial Sarcosuchus. Many ancient crocodilians were also land-dwelling and running animals, with long legs and some even having stubby hoof-like toes for better traction when chasing down prey.
do the Italian have this weird love of cannibalism!?
It certainly seems that way
@Kai 8Ball Actually they were making that kind of movie long before Ruggero Deodato threw his hat into the ring.
Along with animal cruelty, rape, and plots that dont make a whole lot of sense lol
Minou was the name of our cat around this time. Evidently my parents were fond of this movie. Ha. The cat was a lilac Siamese. She lived to a ripe old age because she did not star in a Giallo.
Wow this movie REALLY has no idea where it's supposed to be taking place, we have a monster who is either a crocodile OR an alligator (Alligators only live in the southern united states and china), and then there's the fact that there was an Orangutan AND a Hippo in the stock footage, again, they live in two different places on the planet
Just be thankful they couldn't afford a polar bear suit or a rubber shark in addition to the crocogator pool toy!
Sterling Archer would have been terrified of this film.
Ahh, just in time for Thanksgiving! Hear them monster 'gators taste just like chicken!
You had me at Barbara Bach.
Perfect timing Brendan as I literally just finished for the first jaws when I saw this review go up. As for what I thought about it it's a classic for a reason
Also I really really want a good crocodile movie
Alligators don't attack people unless their are swimming close by the nest or the babies are threatened.
Your Jaws jokes are priceless!
I suggest "Creature From Haunted Sea".
1:35 finally a good answer from the subtitle box lol
Is it a Crocodile or an Alligator, mmm,maybe it's a Caiman !!!🐊🐊🐊😃
Yes I remember it well - wasn't the "tag" line "See you later alligator - after a while crocodile!".....
Honestly the only person who I was really worried about was the little girl. And to think I really love Alligators.
"IT'S..." A Classic, points for that to you, Brandon. =D
Fun Fact: Alligators have a narrower, more pointed snoot, like an A
Whereas Crocodiles have a broader, shovel shaped muzzle, like a C
‘’This was no boating accident.”
Saw the notifications and clicked LETS GO!!!
Great review as always Brandon. But I just can't shake the feeling we missed the chance for some Monty Python references about the hermit.
Ooo, wow, an underwater net to keep out a semiaquatic reptile well known to walk on land to find new bodies of water....
What I'd like to know is why they bothered with a sacrifice if they were just going to kill everybody anyway.
Alligators have a wider and rounder snout and Crocodile's are more narrow. ”swim to the edge of the water but don't actually get out" at least someone else realizes how stupid that is in horror movies.
I don’t know how you could resist closing this by saying “see you later…or in a while”
The guy with the shotgun in the beginning looks like the denim cowboy guy hired to shoot the shark in The Last Shark.
My favorite Monster Alligator is Lake Placid
Fearing that it was going to be like Creepshow (which I wasn't allowed to watch without an adult present [because momma didn't want me to grow up too quickly]) I avoided watching it
I regret now watching it sooner because it is one of the best monster movies I've ever watched
OK, here are the differences between a crocodile and an alligator:
Crocodile:
V-shaped snout
Both teeth showing when it closes its mouth
More aggressive
Able to tolerate saltwater
Found in Asia, Africa, the Everglades, and South America (that's right, the U.S.A. have both alligators AND crocodiles, and South America technically have both (since caimans ARE part of the alligator family))
Alligator:
U-shaped snout
Only upper teeth showing
Less aggressive unless in water (just don't approach one unless you KNOW what you're doing)
Prefer freshwater to saltwater
Only found in the U.S. and China (Chinese gators are smaller and less aggressive than the U.S. ones, but they can still bite if handled roughly or disturbed), but caimans ARE a part of the gator family
And speaking of alligators, would like to see Brandon review Roller Gator in the future.
Thanks, another great review.
I honestly think Alligators are portrayed in the wrong light. They are just nice river folk who to live their life.... :P
Most animals are. Just leave them the hell alone and they'll usually do the same, which is more than you can say for a lot of people.
Good brandon is back
The 80s Alligator movie's a LOT better, in my opinion. Hell, at least they used a REAL alligator in that movie.
Yeah, but it was a small one, 6 or 7 ft at the most. Just didn't look "giant".
Was that the one with the pool scene and the kid got eaten? That stayed with me for years!
2:10 that guy looks high as fuck! LMAO
Nothing gets on my nerves more then someone who calls a crocodile a alligator, a alligator a crocodile, or even worse a caiman or gharial an alligator or crocodile. Another thing that is just as bad is when people call VENOMOUS animals poisonous. *cough cough* 12:54
Uh, technically caimans are alligators, genetically, they are in the same family, Alligatoridae. Though caimans have their own sub-family, Caimaninae, within Alligatoridae that still means that by most standards (as sub-families are usually ignored for most purposes) caimans are alligators. So while they aren't true alligators they are much closer related to each other than to crocodiles and gharials.
For reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligatoridae
I get what you mean, but just calling it an alligator when it has it's own name still bothers me a bit.
With me it's "baby copperhead," because it's a name for ANY light brown snake, whether it's the slightest bit venomous or NOT.
Welll I'm pretty sure if you ate the whole snake...
What about people who call all reptiles lizards.
Love Brandon's humor.
Godzilla vs king ghidorah
Godzilla series he already done that review
Do The Lost Continent please, love your channel from a fan of schlocky films. Found the review thanks.
The climax was pretty cool. Lots of victims.
The music in the opening sounds like something you’d hear in Putt Putt Saves The Zoo
