Let’s be honest here: we don’t know whether to be awestruck and amazed or scared shitless. The wake the hippo makes as it is charging the boat is unreal — almost cartoonish. Then it lunges out of the water with the quickness of its plastic counterparts in the all-time classic Hungry Hungry Hippos.
I’m pitching this for Lake Placid 4 (yes, there was a 2 and 3). It’ll be an effort to revitalize the franchise. How did the hippo get to the Adirondacks in New York? The 1980 winter Olympics. One of the athletes brought it over and it surprisingly thrived in the environment, growing well beyond normal size and now ready to wreak havoc. Yep, that’s a sure-fire blockbuster for you.
