Piranha 2: The Spawning (1981)

Well, you know....after the first 3 minutes I thought I was in for a fun time, I mean, any movie that opens up with a couple making out underwater only to be devoured by a school of mutated piranha has got to be cool, right? Well, not the case here folks. Once again the army has been tampering with piranha genes, splicing them with other genes of wildlife or something, at least I think that's how the plot went. They must have spliced em' with a fucking hummingbird or something, because not only do these piranha bite your ass in the water, they are quite capable of flying out of it to take off your face if the mood strikes them. Has your basic Jaws plot line, snobby ass mayor type refuses to heed warnings of the piranha in order to keep the tourists happy and keep his pockets filled with $. Seems the big thing in this town is to wait for some type of fish that come up on the beach to spawn, while people grab them up and fry them. This sets up the best scene when crowds of stupid humans run to the beach screaming "we want fish", only to get a faceful of piranha for their exuberance. All in all pretty dumb and boring at times, though the concept of flying piranha is pretty cool. I will say this, give me big, phony rubber fish on wires over CGI effects any day.
