#Monsterdon yes bitey fish, eat the rich. Make the people happy.

Nooooooo the booze cruise has a maximum occupancy of 18!!

#Monsterdon

The piranhas

#monsterdon

Diving near speedboats in shallow water, even I know better than that.

#monsterdon

"they're eating the guests, sir"

very matter-of-fact

#Monsterdon

Sir, a second piranha had hit the resort

#monsterdon

They’re eating the guests, sir.

#Monsterdon

Nice makeup job actually #monsterdon

The bikini babes are like "this guy we're both dating is a showoff so let's drive faster to freak him out." But then he sees the pool of blood from the scuba drivers and tries to get them to stop, but they don't, and I think the fish eat him. Then out of nowhere another speedboat drives in and crashes into a different boat and explodes. T the fish start attacking the normal (unboated) beachgoers. #monsterdon

was there any particular reason we needed a speedboat soaring over an explosion?

#Monsterdon

Reading Moby Dick at the beach to attract emo boys

#Monsterdon

Based on my childhood attempts to waterski, this man is incredibly talented. #monsterdon

We have dead kids, but the body count is very nebulous. Maybe one? Maybe a dozen? Who knows! There is a ridiculous shortage of dismembered arm and leg props in this flick.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

“Why don’t they look…” #monsterdon #mst3k

#monsterdon oh these guys are screwed

Piraña, the bees of the water. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon so that's what happens when there are too many options at the buffet. Analysis paralysis and you end up eating none of the children

@SesameSquirrel He helped kids out of the water, even after he got bitten and sliced up, so he gets a pass, for now.

The colonel, however, needs to get ate.

#Monsterdon

honestly some of this really does look like a nice location for a lake/river resort, someplace affordable but pleasant, particularly during the summer

#piranha #monsterdon

Okay, so this movie keeps going, and I guess the climax is at the sea resort, where the Texas is like PT Barnum and he's greeting a senator and also a guy in a sea captain's hat. Meanwhile, a lot of beachgoers are splashing in the water where the bitey fish can eat them in the near future.

Colonel Big Hat then shows up to bully him and give him vague orders; I guess I missed whatever the evil army plan was. #monsterdon

@diazona quite possibly 'the grubbiest decade of all Time' #monsterdon

Shit, give the head counsellor props for staying in the water to help even after he got bittten.

#monsterdon

@arisummerland Ya gotta suspend your disbelief for the mountains part.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

The big coverup is the attractions aren't new? Not like, faulty or in bad repair, just not new? What

#Monsterdon

this movie is really splitting the difference here between "a WHOLE BUNCH of kids just died" and "none of them died on screen so we can still make this movie"

#Monsterdon

This whole scene has unpleasant "school shooting aftermath' vibes to it,

nice jump cut to partying fools at the social event

#monsterdon

child just teflons trauma off of her, she's only sad about her dad leaving again #monsterdon

What?!? he's not taking the kid with him?

#monsterdon

A phone conversation in its entirety:

"Listen to me, this is not a prank call"
"Thank you"
"Please you have to believe me"
"Thank you, thank you"
*hangs up*

wat

#Monsterdon

Eh, I liked the Teen Regatta scene from Tentacles better. The lady had that hat. #Monsterdon

we're just gonna have a scene where kids die horribly, just blood and screaming and crying and it goes on and on

no one can stop us and we give NO FUCKS

#monsterdon

Somehow I can deal with the screaming but not the crying #monsterdon #piranha1978

The little Grogan girl is 20% afraid of the water, 80% embarrassed at being in this movie #monsterdon

thanks i'm frickin tearing up over blonde girl rowing in to help

#monsterdon

I respect the kid who tried to balance on the tube. It was futile, but an attempt was made.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This may be a monsterdon first, I hope the bitey fish don't manage to eat Annie there

@allanb I'm a father and I don't know how the hell I will sleep. This is a parent nightmare too
#monsterdon

After an uncomfortable density of splashing child legs, our splashing childs are discovered by the bitey fish, which start eating them. One of them jumps out of the water and bites the dude camp counselor, who I don't think anyone liked much anyway. Instead of the joyful screaming, the children start the terrified screaming. #monsterdon

This movie really said fuck them kids

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Instant sequel: Piranha 2: Little Nibbles ;)

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

PIRANHA TO THE FACE!

The added tire squealing sound effects through the field were... extra

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

#monsterdon _stolen patrol car runs off the road_

_stolen patrol car throws up a rooster tail of gravel and dirt_

soundtrack: _tires squealing_

yes perfect no notes

At the summer camp we are doing summer camp things and mustering our childs for the swimming contest. Uh-oh.

In the current stolen car, Fishing Vest Guy had a revelation - the evil science pond was salt water, and normal bitey fish are fresh water, so this is an evil mutant strain that will be able to survive the ocean and conquer the world if it reaches the sea. Then we almost crash our stolen cop car.

#monsterdon

When someone says "on the double" you really have to do it, its like sudo

#Monsterdon

"that isn't funny" and yet I haven't stopped laughing since. #monsterdon

I bet the super annoying camp counselor guy definitely wanted to be a drill sergeant

#Monsterdon

is it wrong I'm still rooting for the fish?

#monsterdon

This lady's first instinct when confronted with men is to beat them other the head with the heaviest thing she can find. I like her moxy.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

THIS MOVIE KNOWS THAT PIRANHAS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FRESHWATER my opinion is going up every few minutes

#monsterdon

Time to set up the fish buffet! C'mon kids, roll around in the barbecue sauce, then into the fish meal! Aaaand INTO the water! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The kid with the arrow in him was the best part of this entire film. He's the gem in the rough. That little kid.

Her one surefire power is applying blunt force trauma from behind #monsterdon

We have to win the race against the piranhas in the regatta! #monsterdon #piranha1978

"Take his pants off, then!"

Oh, AND funny distraction. Jesus Christ. #Monsterdon

"He's knocked out but he's alive!" -- woman who has definitely not checked if the man is still alive

#Monsterdon #Piranha

I thought _you_ could get man's pants off quic

#piranha #monsterdon

This movie is FULL of porn setup! #monsterdon

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

Great graffiti in this cell too bad it's gonna flood

everybody pay attention to this lady, she's gonna show us how to break out of prison! #monsterdon (^_^)

there’s always a gwanabí bootlicker.

#Monsterdon #Piranha

Aha, that’s Paul Bartel (from Eating Raoul) and Dick Miller (from Bucket of Blood) #Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

this rocks #RogerCorman #Monsterdon

After they drove off in a truck, I missed part of this movie due to IRL shenanigans, and as we come back the summer camp kids are listening to horror stories, and a contractor guy is watching the 50s movie with the evil slug monster that I forgot the name of. That's probably very important. Also, he's talking to the colonel on the phone about some evil plot. #monsterdon

"on my honor as a Texan" sure Dick Miller #monsterdon

That's a lot of coke

#Piranha #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

Hey flash cut to another Monsterdon!

#monsterdon whatever that movie is, that should be the next monsterdon movie!

#Monsterdon #piranha1978 Wait! Go back! That was a real monster movie!

SHAI'HULUD!

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I think it will be tits again #monsterdon

#monsterdon I don't want to hear about your civil rights! We’re going to leave you in this cell, the safest place around, as a public service. LOL

Necessary panic is okay though

#Monsterdon

wait suddenly the colonel is foghorn leghorn what is happening

#piranha #monsterdon

The Beach Stays Open. #Monsterdon #Piranha

the random assemblages of accents in this movie is truly hilarious

#piranha #monsterdon

#monsterdon MkKeown here is about as good at flirting as I ever was. Maybe mildly better.

MMMM YES. I love topographical maps. Makes me wanna go map a Minecraft world.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

wow #monsterdon said gay rights o7

well at least she showed her tits

#monsterdon

"What if he's gay?"

"Then I'll distract him."

#Monsterdon

Imagine the Government telling you what you know to be true isn't real......only in fiction, yeah!?

#monsterdon

Additional plot drops... there's some stream that might let the bitey fish escape into the ocean and we have to stop the bitey fish from getting there. We also learn the actual science lady had a Tense Relationship with the Weird Science Guy, and Actual Science Lady has less of a moral compass and may have fewer regrets about breeding evil mutant fish.

#monsterdon

HE VAS MY BOYFRIENDT! #monsterdon #piranha1978

#Monsterdon I feel like this movie wouldn't be happening if people knew how to use bridges

Why is she creepy underlit #monsterdon #piranha1978

Back in the 70s you could get a cushy government job just hanging out by the river. #monsterdon
