Dear God, [this…looks…_awesome_](http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/mega-piranha-this-one-has-teeth--1121)! Does it get any better than seeing Hero St. Jock pedal-kicking a half-dozen giant mutated piranha out of the air? Wheeee, can’t wait! ---

Agreed, the only thing missing from this … movie … is the Shadowrama silhouette and Joel/Mike and the Bots, this has all the makings of an MST3K experiment Send 'em the movie, Frank! \ ---

Okay, I let my cat distract me for like 30 seconds and I missed what their big plan was. How did they win in the end? My guess based on what I saw of the feeding frenzy was that they poisoned the one fish and expected it to poison the others? ---

My guess based on what I saw of the feeding frenzy was that they poisoned the one fish and expected it to poison the others? I was distracted as well. IIRC, they had to come up with something more badass than a nuclear-tipped torpedo to cause at least one to bleed in order to set off the feeding frenzy. I’m kinda curious what that was… ---

Time has not been Tiffany’s friend. I thought he threw up a little at the kiss at the end.
