The alligator that starred in Alligator and Alligator II has passed away.
His actual real name was Morris and he was over 80s years old. Morris retired from the movie biz back in 2006. He was also in Happy Gilmore, Interview with the Vampire, Blues Brothers 2000, Eraser and Dr. Doolittle 2.
The people that run the gator farm where he spent his final years have commented "We have decided to get Morris taxidermied so that he can continue to scare children for years to come. It's what he would have wanted."
RIP Morris 🐊🐊
bought ALLIGATOR 2 bluray recently.
always thought the one in ERASER was CGI? hah
MIP munch in peace
Rest in peace, Morris. :bluesad: Alligator was a funny one, because I saw it when I was only 11 or 12 at a friend's sleepover birthday party! A bunch of us were bundled up in sleeping bags on the living room floor, the alligator threshing its way through the city before us. Crazy movie, and great entertainment for us kids. Delightfully, it has been uploaded in full on that video site, so I'll get to see it again for the first time in many years.
Rest in Peace.
I think so people forget how long big reptiles can live. Not just tortoises.
