Fellow bad movie lovers...our ship has come in!!



For those of us who were masochistic enough to actually enjoy the Asylum's cheez-tastic, craptacular epic "Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus" (i.e., me and Spec), check out their latest forthcoming "Mockbuster" set for DVD in April of 2010... obviously intended to bite (pun not intended) off of the upcoming, big budget "Piranha 3-D" remake that's also due later this year.

Continuing with the Asylum's tradition of putting has-been '80s teen-pop queens in their movies ("Mega Shark" featured a fine acting turn by Debbie/Deborah Gibson), "Mega Piranha" stars Deb's old rival Tiffany (!) alongside Barry "Greg Brady" Williams.

When this movie comes out I am SO renting it!! How can you lose with a powerhouse acting combo like that?

Betcha this is only the lead in to an eventual crossover "Mega Piranha Vs. Giant Octopus vs. Mega Shark" movie...

Or perhaps... "Mega Lobster?" "Mega Crab?" "Mega-Clam Vs. Giant Oyster?" The possibilities are endless!!!

I loved the original Piranha movies

I love sooooo many of those fanous directors debuts. Duel is another classic, f.ex.

I wish I knew you guys 20 years ago. I owned close to 600 horror/splatter movies, and knew all the names of the actors, directors etc. Now I can hardly remember what I ate for breakfast.

Awesome! I still remember Piranha from when I was a kid. What a great, cheesy, classic movie.

Heather Menzies, who played the heroine in 1978's "Piranha," played one of the Von Trapp children in "The Sound Of Music" when she was a kid. Kind of an odd career trajectory.

.....see? This is the kind of useless crap I was talking about in my earlier post. Why do I remember these things??

I think it's awesome. I secretly wish I was a mix of you and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.

Speaking of "Piranha," the "Piranha 3-D" remake that's in the works sounds promising and gnarly. Supposedly a trailer for it was released with "Avatar" in the States but I haven't seen it yet. Alexandre Aja (the French horror guy who did the "Hills Have Eyes" remake and "Haute Tension") directed it.

Although, it was supposed to come out this Spring but apparently has been pushed back to August of this year... and that's usually not a good sign. August is traditionally the dumping ground for studios to get rid of movies that they really don't give a crap about.

I was exactly like you. I used to bore/amaze my friends to death with all the useless movie/metal trivia. But working with thinner for 13 years has erased most of the useless memories.

Might have to catch it when it airs of ScyFy Channel

Mega Piranha Pix! (Still looking for a trailer... no luck yet)



If this is the actual size of the fish in the movie, then those giant piranhas chomping down battleships on the DVD cover are totally false advertising. I haven't even seen the movie yet and I already want my money back.



Muscle Bound Hero dude toting a Nerf Blaster?




Greg Brady is pensive (and crater faced).

No luck finding a trailer for "Mega Piranha," but I did find one for the movie they're ripping off, Alexandre Aja's "Piranha 3D" -- looks like good, dumb gory fun to me!!

Was that Christopher Lloyd?

I hope the 3-D is good, because I'm really starting to hate these digital created monsters. I know it's the way it is, but I miss the stock footage and animatronics.

Back in the early 90's a local video store was closing and selling the inventory. My buddy Chas and I cleaned them out. Piranha 1&2 were the big scores.

This thread reminds me of two of my all-time favorite movies in this genre -

Alligator and Day Of The Animals.
