The highly attention-grabbing poster for John Gulager's Piranha 3DD |
QUICK REVIEW:
This follow-up to the mostly funny horror comedy Piranha 3D (2010)
starts with Gary Busey blowing up a dead whale using its own farts, and thus sparks a new piranha attack on David Koechner's titty-obsessed aqua park!
Many totally ludicrous scenes follow this 'appetizer', and, unfortunately, all the ones including the young members of the cast remain cardboard-ish and terrible, and include awful sex/piranha-attack scenes.
The mollifying bits of Piranha 3DD are: SPOILER Koechner's decapitation-death scene, (he is pretty unbearable in the film); and the fun, irreverent scenes with David Hasselhoff (Baywatch (1989-2000)), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future (1985)) and especially Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction (1994)).
Still, this is a certified bad movie and a big step down from the first one.
It is directed by John Gulager (Feast (2005)), who has since also graced the world with Zombie Night (2013), a TV-movie that looks highly dubious.
And again, summing up the three main highlights of Piranha 3DD:
Christopher Lloyd, not in his proudest moment ... |
David Hasselhoff, in just another moment for him ... |
... and Ving Rhames, who is the funniest of the three, in John Gulager's Piranha 3DD |
I love that there's a filthy b-movie called Piranha 3DD. I just don't love the movie itself
Budget: 5 mil. $
Box office: 8.4 mil. $

What do you think of the Piranha 3D movies?
Have you seen other of John Gulager's ventures, and if so, how were they?
