THUNDERBIRDS / "Attack Of The Alligators!" - 1966

Time for a trip to the jungle in this Thunderbirds adventure about giant alligators going on land, looking for some humans to snack on! Sure, other junk's going on too.

So now, sit back and enjoy these very cool character cards...

Did you notice all the pilots' last names are the same? Straight up nepotism dude! And, I can't get enough of Lady Penelope's hat, cigarette holder and custom wheels!

Okay, here we go!.....

Looks like the prop department did a great job on this little jungle boat. Anyway, two men are there to meet with a scientist who has a new serum that makes animals large, for future food production (TARANTULA!)...

The serum is made from a rare plant that only grows there, and it has to be processed immediately or it loses its potency.

Some of the serum gets accidentally flushed down a drain, and soon thereafter, viola, freakin' giant allimagators!! (that is sooo ridiculous, a small amount went down the drain and directly into the stream, which would totally dilute it - then minutes later, an alligator's 30 feet long?.. like, NO! just do the math).

There is a Thunderbird 5 you know, it's only just a maneuverable space station!... In your face evil-doers, wherever you are!!

Thunderbird 2 uses tranquilizer darts to take out two of the giant varmints.

But, one biggie is still loose, trying to get to the people inside the house.

This bro decides to use his hover board to distract the last big gator, but he doesn't look where he's going, crashes and almost becomes a meal.

Yeah, there's a bad guy in the story. He steals the serum and plans on selling it to the highest bidder, he's also the cause of the spill that made the alligators into monsters in the first place.

As he's trying to escape though, he falls out of his boat, drops the vial into the water and then is gobbled down by a giant gator!!......... Hurray!!

Gordon uses Thunderbird 4 to look for the vial dropped by the thief, and guess what?.. Hell yeah, he finds it intact and recovers it!!..

Time to kick back and relax at the end of another harrowing adventure, so that's what I'm just about to do, see you tomorrow for more from the Dungeon Gang!!..

Baby lizards, eh? So Irwin Allen wasn't the only filmmaker to do that, in his THE LOST WORLD feature film (and several episodes of his TV shows)?! ;)

You have to kinda feel bad for John Tracy. While his brothers can go globe hopping and socializing with other people and their relatives, he's stuck ALL ALONE on that space station.
