Michael Ledo This movie was in my local Walmart $5.00 bin. I focused on the words, "Tiffany, nudity and adult situations." Fortunately the three did not meet. By the time Tiffany gets on the screen, the nudity is over and nothing to write home about. Like the Mega piranha, Tiffany has mutated and gotten huge, move over Sally Struthers. How big was she? She couldn't get raped in a Venezuelan prison. Likewise Paul Logan gives us his most unmemorable performance.The special effects were so bad, I was crying out for "Mega Shark". They had women on nuclear submarines with a control room that looked more like my living room, than an actual submarine control room. The Secretary of State describes the fish as traveling in "groups" (not schools). The fish absorb nutrients through the skin, yet jump on to land to eat people. In addition to battling various sizes of poorly generated computer fish, Tiffany and Logan must also battle rogue elements of the Venezuelan army.Unless you are into camp and have plenty of glaucoma medication, you might want to take a pass on this one.
Gafri Ariansyah Mega Piranha (2010) is a low-budget horror film that was first released in 2010. About three scientists residing in a Venezuelan country doing genetic engineering to a piranha fish, the piranhas also grew into a monstrous predator, Sarah Monroe one of the three scientists was asking for help from an agent from the USA .. Until the news was heard in the ears of Colonel Diaz .. Diaz also ordered his subordinates to arrest Sarah and her friend .. But one of the Scientists preyed by Piranha .. The piranha fish that grow as big as whales and cause destruction around the lake Orinoco .. Sarah. Fitch and Gordon went to the CIA base they wanted to shoot the giant piranhas with a nuclear bomb, but the piranha piranha was so strong from the nuclear explosion .. The Piranha piranha attacked the coast of Florida, the great chaos took place .. Fitch and the navy Was assigned to go to dive and kill the piranhas .. Fitch managed to make the piranha piranha bite each other ... This movie is so awesome With all the bad CGI But enjoy ...
manjodude Probably the only aspect of the movie worth some mention is the acting especially from Tiffany as scientist Sarah or David Labiosa as the bad Venezuelan colonel. Even Paul Logan did good. But all that sincerity for a story that failed them is unfortunate. How do piranhas detonate on impact?! They hit a house and go kaboom! How?! And there are more such scenes that don't make sense but it'd be a spoiler to reveal here. The effects although weak, is still OK for a shoestring budget. I saw this movie anyway since I just wanted to relax, not with an intention to watch good cinema. So if you happen to watch this on TV or DVD, focus more on your food, drinks or the feel of relaxation and you will do just fine :)
Wuchak Released in 2010, "Mega Piranha" chronicles events when a mutant strain of increasingly-growing piranha escape from the Amazon Basis to threaten Florida. Tiffany stars as a researcher in the jungle while Paul Logan plays a kick-axx government agent and Barry Williams his superior back in the US. David Labiosa is on hand as a Hispanic militant in the jungle.While a little overweight, Tiffany makes for a likable protagonist and Logan is spot-on as a Rambo-ish action figure. The jungle and beach locations are good and there's quite a bit of action. Unfortunately, the story isn't very compelling, although it develops some drive by the last act. But it's all for naught as the cartoony CGI of the huge piranha and what they're able to do makes you bust out laughing rather than scare you (or impress you or whatever). As the story moves along, the colossal fish are shown jumping into water that's obviously too shallow for them to occupy. It just boggles my mind that The Asylum would blow all this money on cast and locations and then plague the flick with such lousy F/X. One worthy brief scene occurs during the beginning, however, when Tiffany's character amusingly pays tribute to the great "Apocalypse Now," which will be missed by most viewers because it's not one of the more popular lines from that movie. Speaking of Tiffany, she sings the end-credits' song "Frozen Skies" and it's pretty good.Bottom Line: Even viewed as a parody, "Mega Piranha" is bad, Mega Bad.The film runs 92 minutes and was shot in Belize, Los Angeles and Long Beach.GRADE: D (2.5/10 Stars)
