This sequel to 1978's Piranah was the initial stepping stone that put James Cameron on the map.
Its hard to believe that the man who is known for Terminator 2, Aliens & Titanic started his career making a movie about flying man eating fish.
Following the same format as the original with a stubborn businessman shrugging off the notion of killer piranah in his waters this time the film is an utter contemptible mess.
Poorly made even Cameron and the always excellent Lance Henriksen couldn't save this embarrassment.
The flying piranah simply cannot be taken seriously, from the ridiculous noises they make to the blatant plastic sfx.
Piranah fans should skip to the 1995 remake or even Piranah 3D.
The Good:
Lance Henriksen
The Bad:
Awful sfx
Horribly made
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Underwater sex scenes look seven shades of awkward
Every time Lance Henriksen smiles an angel gets its wings
During a feeding frenzy flying piranah sound like pigeons
