I liked the original but the remake was done well too.

But only for very short bursts.

The key is - do they catch you by surprise?

Cause if you stay far enough away, or climb a tree, they ain’t got a chance to catch you.

What are we at-6 fatal attacks per year?

“From 1948 to 2021, 442 unprovoked bite incidents have occurred in Florida. Twenty-six of the bites resulted inpeople being killed by wild alligators. A total of 303 people have received major injuries and 139 have received minor injuries over the same time period.”

I did remember at least that part of the movie. The In-Laws. I just looked and it’s free rental on Amazon Prime just now.

I was going through a place called “Frog City” off the Tamiami Trail, when I was walking past a pen enclosure. As I was passing beneath a tree, a bull alligator came up out of the water inside that pen, and let out a bellow. I jumped for the overhanging bough on the tree, and darned if I didn’t miss.

It was OK, though, I caught it on my way back down.

I think he said something like, “That will give you a one percent better chance.” He was clearly joking.
