This is like a fun 70s TV show about two misfits who get off on stealing different vehicles

#Monsterdon

Buffet is ON!

Piranha even jumps out of the water to kiss the camp director.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

This head camp dude is truly, truly the worst #Monsterdon

@Taweret They are adorable and take intuitive how can you not root for them

#monsterdon

"DETECTIVE" magazine 😂

#Monsterdon

they owe us liek three bigass feeding frenzies and at least one horribly mutated giant piranha for all this fucking dialogue they keep making us have to listen to #monsterdon

lol undercranking the vidya

#piranha #monsterdon

I wonder why she has lipstick on #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

the piranhas better make it to the ocean...c'mon, swim faster little fishes!

"fresh AND salt water"

The word you're looking for is "brackish", sir. I've seen enough David Attenborough documentaries—

#Monsterdon

I was hoping that cop would have little hearts on his underwear. Oh well.

#monsterdon

The fuck is he doing in the water with a gun?

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

The prison guard has a copy of True Detective magazine, that is so meta.

#Monsterdon

Was that a crane shot? I mean, they didn't have drones back then, and I'm wondering why they thought they needed to go to the expense for so little payoff #monsterdon

@trixter Mostly I'm wondering if he knows it or not yet. #Monsterdon

This the point where that poor girl's phobia is proven correct.

#monsterdon

Oh that's right. They still haven't gotten around a warning the summer camp full of children about the killer piranhas in the lake...

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

Oh, yes, let’s separate the sinkers from the swimmers.

Sinkers are the people who get nibbled in.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

this dude is terrible

"The sinkers from the swimmers" The fish food from the last girls. #Monsterdon #Piranha

and the flesh from the bone #monsterdon

The camp drill instructor is definitely gay though right

#piranha #monsterdon

Are they really going to kill off a bunch of kids in this? ...

#monsterdon

Aw Paul Bartel is worried about teenagers swimming, that is so quaint.

#Monsterdon

It is funny the things this guy is worried about compared with the things a modern insurance company would be worried about. Like the child who almost ran out in front of unrestricted live-fire archery range. #monsterdon

The blond girl is totally the blonde kid from Bad News Bears. #monsterdon

I hope piranha are attracted to yellow shirts and whistles.

#monsterdon

also, that was brilliant, kimbrel, never change. #monsterdon

nice underwear sheriff
#monsterdon

I dunno, it's pretty funny. Gotta give the kids points for effort

#monsterdon

Despite what the camp asshole says, the fake arrow through the kid's abdomen *was* pretty funny.

#Monsterdon

"just discipline!"
and kinda racist depictions of the native americans whose customs we no doubt plastered all over the buildings we constructed on top of it. #monsterdon

Okay what's happening now is actually Summer Camp Guitar Music, a legit musical genre in 70's and 80's movies.

#monsterdon
#Piranha

It was a little funny. 🐟 🐟 🐟

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

So much for *that* mailbox.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

That was actually kind of funny, kid

#Monsterdon

ok they didn't have cell phones but this couple does seriously suck at getting the word out about the piranhas. like spend ten minutes in a phone booth and don't try and warn everyone by running up to them #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

oh no the fake 'injun' theme at the summer camp 😬

"That isn't funny."

No, but I'm not blaming the kid for that. #Monsterdon

No comics? *gasp*

#monsterdon

@Taweret he really could've made it look like they did without the "nice try kid" bit #monsterdon

Back to the water competition!

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

The tale of Mo Schneider
#Monsterdon #Piranha

who the hell is Moe Schneider?
#monsterdon

Wouldn't be summer camp in the 70's without offensive Indigenous appropriation

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow oh that would be perfect here

#Monsterdon

And suddenly it's House Flippers.

#Monsterdon #Piranha

Little girl screws up her only scene and her film career! #monsterdon

Did she try to crawl through the drain pipe?? #monsterdon

why did you think pieces of cardboard would cut the crepe?

#monsterdon

Suddenly I'm missing Shelley Winters and her big hat. #Monsterdon #Piranha

That was a hell of a crane shot #piranha1978 #monsterdon

Are they playing Bridgerton Victorian dance music?

#monsterdon

This is why jail toilets are made of metal nowadays #monsterdon

1978 was the year of the extra long salmon ascot #monsterdon

@Louisa@mastodon.xyz Also they're both contributing!

#Monsterdon #Piranha

Why the operatics at the campfire?

#Monsterdon #Piranha

Wait, wait, I want another closeup of the two guys in the boat.

#monsterdon

@moira he's the one who offered to distract the guard, after all. #monsterdon

The 1970s. Just remember you got no obligation to buy anything, just go and enjoy yourselves. Simpler times.

And free barbecue!

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

Before drones they used kites for aerial shots

#monsterdon
#Piranha

I'm surprised to admit that the two leads are not actually getting on my nerves that much. The main guy kind of reminds me of a guy I had a crush on as a kid and the girl has chutzpah.

#Monsterdon

So many actors in this have been in other #Monsterdon movies. It's like a greatest hits flick. #Monsterdon #Piranha

(minus the shouting your plan into a echoing hallway where everyone and their neighborhood policeman can hear it, of course) #monsterdon

Yes it's PASADENA DAYS '78!

Again. >_> #Monsterdon

Learning moment folks! I don't think it's going to be that easy in most prison cells these days.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

#monsterdon He was taking a nap, then got awoken by a loud crash. Only to be put back to sleep with a brick. This guy has the shortest line and span of effective consciousness in this movie. Maybe a few seconds, tops.

I like these main characters for some reason. Maybe because the movie gave them both personalities, that never happens on #Monsterdon

I always love a jailbreak scene but it distracts me a little when they're not chased or re-apprehended, it's no mystery who they're looking for #monsterdon

This took a turn for the weird with her stripping the guy with the head injury she caused.

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb warning! not a fact! #monsterdon

Taking off someone’s pants over his boots is not easy and bothers me somehow.

#Monsterdon #piranha1978

Fuck yeah! Dick Miller. We are in great cheap monster movie territory now.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

#Monsterdon

Got ‘em!

#Monsterdon #piranha1978

I would hate to be this lady's lawyer. #monsterdon

I don't understand why the idea of being drunk is a constant leitmotif.

#Monsterdon

This seems like a great plan if what you're trying to do is get punched by a cop #monsterdon

Always the threat to the local PR #Monsterdon

She seems surprised he was alive. #Monsterdon

Wait i somehow missed them going to jail lol #piranha1978 #monsterdon

Rerouting water is apparently her superpower

#monsterdon
#Piranha

”Let’s swim tomorrow.”
“Yeah, tomorrow. When it’s safe.”

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

Mckeown or Mcguyver? #Monsterdon

Now I see why this movie was billed as a horror/comedy.

#Monsterdon #Piranha

Oh, she's gonna Macguyver her way outta here. #Monsterdon

Piranhas don't leave many what?
#Monsterdon #Piranha

@randy_s I think that's the prequel to Dune #monsterdon

oh he's really like that ok

#monsterdon

i love the way these two treat this guy. hilarious. A+ way to deal with a dumbass in a position of power. #monsterdon

@arisummerland I knew I'd seen that name before! yayy! Dick Miller! #monsterdon

I hope the piranha get you, sir.

#monsterdon

"I thought you could get a man's pants off quicker than that!"

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

Her eyebrows have already had the piranha treatment a few times #piranha1978 #monsterdon

Is that gruber on the wanted poster?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon aha, my super power comes in handy. Remembering which episode of Star Trek someone has been in (he was a cop in DS9 Past Tense)

oh no homoerotic teenage girls

#monsterdon

The Internet tells me that was indeed Dick Miller! Also in Gremlins!

#piranha #monsterdon

@JoeWynne those breasts DO deserve a credit of their own. #Monsterdon
