I still had a good time with it...

Who would have thought the director of this low budget horror sequel would go on to make the greatest movies of all time (Titanic and Avatar)?Anne (Tricia O'Neil) is a diving instructor at a hotel resort. She soon realizes something wrong when some of the divers don't return. Her estranged husband, Police Chief Steve (Lance Henriksen), investigates. A tourist, Tyler Sherman (Steve Marachuk) enjoys spending time with Anne, and - as the story develops - we notice there is more about him than meets the eye. As it turns out, he is linked to the events from 'Piranha', and the film also mentions the genetically modified piranhas bred for warfare from the first film.In this sequel, the fish mutated and are now able to fly, so you're not even safe out of the water! The piranha effects are not great at all, with the fish looking stocky and lifeless. At times, it looked as if the actors were holding props.The film received predominantly negative reviews and also flopped at the box office. I must be honest, I rather enjoyed this installment. The performances weren't all that bad (well, mostly), and I thought the story was interesting enough. The climax was over too quickly, and was a bit of an anti-climax. It was still entertaining. The original 'Piranha' was still miles better, and more memorable.Would I watch it again? Maybe, yes.

Underwater turkeys and boobies!

Ha well, Piranha 2 was actually entertaining primarily for its unique setting and creative usage of piranhas. It was hokey to see piranhas flying around (which they don't actually do, but this was due because of someone screwing around with their genetics) and gobbling like turkies underwater. There were beautiful women in this film (most of which weren't wearing bras at all) which, I hate to say, saved many scenes by putting them in. There were humorous moments (the stuttering loser-chef) and crazy settings (the running of the "grunions" and everyone saying "We want fish! We want fish!")It was cool to kick back and watch this one. As cheesy as it seems, well, it was cheesy. But it was entertaining to see what the piranha might do and, like I said before, it had unique style as to where they were at and the characters involved. Check it out if there is nothing left to see at your local videostore. It gets a 4/10 from me.
