ALLIGATOR (1980)
dir. Lewis Teague, 91 min. English languageA series of mysterious disappearances in the New York sewer systems are revealed to be the work of a giant, mutated, and ever hungry Alligator that stalks stormwater drains in search of fresh meat. Hot on its trail are run down New York cop David (Robert Forster) and manic big game hunter Brock (Henry Silva) who are racing against time and each other to take down the beast before it can tear its way through every municipal worker in the big apple.
If the description of “Robert Forster fighting a giant practical effect Alligator” isn’t enough of an enticement then the additional description of “Henry Silva fighting a giant practical effect Alligator” will certainly be. This is top tier American schlock; a tightly formatted, and straight to the point monster movie, written by John Sayles, that deftly balances the inherent humour of its premise with a tenacity that sells the danger of its primary threat. Truly the JAWS of JAWS knock-offs.

THE CAT (1992)
Dir. Lam Nai-Choi, 84 min. Cantonese Language w/ English SubtitlesParanormal investigator Wisely stumbles on to a plot of intergalactic peril when he encounters a young girl and her cat who are actually transplanted aliens from a far away star fighting against a biomechanical menace. Wisely will have to trust Pai So and her cat “The General” to fight off this extraterrestrial foe lest the entire earth be ingested into its electro fungal web of horror.
THE CAT is one of the wildest outings of Golden Harvests notably wild early ‘90s output, at times struggling to convey the absolute weight of plot that it present and yet always moving forward on to crazier and more mesmerising action sequences. You would think that there’d only be a certain number of ways that a cat puppet could be used in an action scene, and in that supposition you would be incorrect. Pure pulp sci-fi mayhem.
