As Mr. Sulu would say..."OH MY!"
We may have a new "Worst Movie Ever!" here.

I saw it on ScyFy last weekend.
The good news, girls: The lead dramatically enters the scene, and just as dramatically takes his jacket off to expose his tight shirt and body.
The bad new is, that's the only talent he has.
It IS a helluva fish turd! You'll love it.

I don't usually enjoy sci-fi channel movies but I've watched this one twice already. The second time, my brother and nephew were over one night and they're both avid fishermen. There was nothing on TV and I found Mega Pirana - we laughed all the way through it. This one's a gem. My favorite line: the lady scientist tells the military, "You don't have the firepower. And even if you did, you'd need twice as much!" (Wha???)

I watched it recently, too, and loved it. My favorite part was the ginormous fish jumping out of the water and crashing into the sides of buildings, which set off an explosion. Which exploded, the fish or the building? Did the fish have some unerring ability to sense caches of explosives in Miami condos? Or were the fish so irradiated that they became swimming bombs?
A satisfyingly bad movie.

I forgot about this thread! Here is my little review copied from So I Just Finished Watching... A few weeks removed from my review I would totally revise my final comment. I'm already looking forward to seeing this bad boy again.
Mega Piranha (2010)
Tiffany stars in the poor man's follow-up to the instant classic Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. Unfortunately she can't hold a candle to Deborah Gibson in the "washed-up one-hit wonder turned lousy actress" category. It also stars Barry Williams of Brady Bunch fame.
But the real star of this flick is Paul Logan. He plays Blast Hardcheese Jason Fitch, a muscle bound special ops Colonel. Even his voice is muscular as he punches and kicks his way through fishes and the sorry, no good Venezuelan army. Seems Hugo Chavez's government wants to blame terrorists for eating a motorboat and the US ambassador when it was actually giant mutated piranhas developed by scientists Tiffany and Greg Brady.
The mutated fish double in size every few hours and eat everything in sight. A stupid and evil Venezuelan officer frees the fish and the race is on to stop them from making it to the ocean. Before you know it the huge eating machines are jumping into buildings and eating a missile cruiser captained by a guy with a mullet. Next stop... Florida.
There are some really great scenes in this movie that probably required very little actual script. I can picture the director saying "everyone act scared now" or "jump up and down, high five, and hug cause we think we killed all the big fishes." The underwater action was tremendous, especially when Blast talked with Tiffany though close-ups clearly showed him just breathing through his mouthpiece. He musta communicated vocally through telepathic means. It was also fun seeing giant piranhas sticking out of Florida condo buildings. With the housing bust I'm glad to see them finally occupied.
I've said enough about this movie. Now to erase it from my memory forever.

I hope it comes out on DVD.
I got "Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus" today. Five bucks. It's shameful to sometimes love Wal-Mart.

I think I saw part of it and I have to say, I don't like this SyFy movies. The problem I have with all of them is that it's clear that they are doing bad movies on purpose. To me that ruins the funny. It reminds me of the Roger Ebert review of Lost Skeletons of Cavadra and the criticism of Hobgoblins that I don't agree with. Not even Andy Sidaris does stuff like that. The good thing about the MST3K movies were that people were trying to do serious stuff or thinking they were doing good work. Or that when they didn't, they still got it wrong and it always looked worse than they thought it did. Here it looks just right as bad as they wanted to be on purpose.
