It you're gonna remake something remake it in 3-D. That rule seems to never fail and it works here in a big way. Chock full of naked 3-D boobs and gore this movie has everything you could want from a silly killer-fish-on-the-loose tale. The cartoony CGI piranha reminded me more of FINDING NEMO than anything menacing and made me long for the simpler days of rubber fish on a string from the original. They do mix some of the typical shitty CGI gore with some actual F/X work by Greg Nicotero which was nicely done. Highlights for me were a great penis-chomping scene, glimpses of "Girls Gone Wild"-style vagina and Eli Roth getting his head squished by a runaway motor boat. You get guest shots from Richard Dreyfuss, Christopher Llyod and a few porn stars thrown in for eye candy and ultimately to be used as chum. I'm really hoping they follow the original sequel and have some flying piranhas in part 2.
Boobs and asses gone wild!!:
I always used to get the original and its sequel confused in terms of the flying Piranha and while both are dated, I still find Piranha 2 to be a guilty pleasure.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the finest flying killer fish movie ever made but besides the novelty of it, it's not a very good movie overall so a remake wouldn't have to go too far to top it.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you there. And with the way that this latest remake ended, perhaps we can expect some GIANT, flying killer fish(?). Oh, and more boobies... one can only hope, haha.
ReplyDeleteThis was blast! Loved the all the gore and nudity...one of the best remakes in awhile.
ReplyDeleteRight on!
