Ryann G Ain't no way this movie is gonna get good reviews!🤮 Doesn't make sense, also the world's worst tornado! And Ollie is an idiot. This movie is made for bozos! 🤡🤡🤡 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Audience Member Repugnantly misogynist and grossly homophobic, the movie is so incompetently put together from top to bottom I'm somewhat surprised the piranhas could stomach the actors. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member For a Fawcett-Majors produced movie, there's very little of Lee and no sign at all of Farrah. Know what else there's no sign of? Bras. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Brainless entertainment. Not enough fun to overcome its many weaknesses. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Now I'm sure that people who've actually seen this and are reading this are thinking "geez, how can he possibly give this film three and a half stars?" Well, the devil's in the details. Killer Fish certainly isn't a masterpiece, but it's got too much good going for it that even the really cheesy and bad stuff just make it all the more charming. It's actually fascinating in a weird way. It's an American production using an Italian crew with mostly American TV actors, as well as being filmed entirely in Brazil. I can't make that up. It's basically Joe Dante's Piranha with a jewel heist subplot shoved into it, but how can you dislike watching a giant fat man get eaten by piranha from the inside out? The film is tough to track down nowadays. As a matter of fact, the only way to see it is either through bootlegs or importing the Italian DVD version, which is entirely in English. I highly recommend this great piece of schlock for those looking for something above average in this particular field. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you do. It's got Lee Majors after all, and many recognizable supporting actors. I could have done without Karen Black, but that's another story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite trailers.....terrible film Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
