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 Instant sequel: Piranha 2: Little Nibbles ;)

PIRANHA TO THE FACE!
The added tire squealing sound effects through the field were... extra
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.
When someone says "on the double" you really have to do it, its like sudo
"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
is it wrong I'm still rooting for the fish?
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
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

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 (^_^)
thereβs always a gwanabΓ bootlicker.
Aha, thatβs 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
That's a lot of coke

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!
@CactuarJoe I think it will be tits again #monsterdon
#monsterdon I don't want to hear about your civil rights! Weβre going to leave you in this cell, the safest place around, as a public service. LOL
Necessary panic is okay though
wait suddenly the colonel is foghorn leghorn what is happening
The Beach Stays Open. #Monsterdon #Piranha
the random assemblages of accents in this movie is truly hilarious
#monsterdon MkKeown here is about as good at flirting as I ever was. Maybe mildly better.
wow #monsterdon said gay rights o7
well at least she showed her tits
Imagine the Government telling you what you know to be true isn't real......only in fiction, yeah!?
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.
HE VAS MY BOYFRIENDT! #monsterdon #piranha1978
That's another vietnam reference
Back in the 70s you could get a cushy government job just hanging out by the river. #monsterdon
βYou okay, Boy?β
Tarzanβs kid?
#monsterdon
omg barbara steele! #monsterdon
Ah, the military! I'm sure the won't fuck it up
HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT
"Move it, men, fall in, we got some FISH TO SHOOT" #Monsterdon
Nice bit of river infrastructure in this movie.....any weirs?
Was not expecting The Military!
Time to nuke the river! #monsterdon #piranha1978
FISH NEED FIBER TOO YA KNOW
I'm still stuck on how quickly they yeeted the doctor into the water.
lol, soon as he reaches land the Divorced Man runs away from the Woman and Child like nothing on Earth.
Good lad, run for the hills!
Child cartoon in a horror movie *glug* πΊ #piranha1978 #monsterdon
This movie is pretty bad but I'm still hooked
This is pretty good action on the raft, considering!
So, I kind of like this movie's format of some schmucks floating down a river having random ominous encounters. There should be a genre of movies where schmucks are floating down a river having random ominous encounters. #monsterdon
oh ok that's daddy being eaten
#monsterdon These are coordinated attach fishies. AWESOME! This is fantastic. They are my favorite monster so far.
@Lazarou I would say that this is a slightly atypical float trip in America. #monsterdon
Piranha: whirrrblrbrblblllllrr
They make the sound of an immersion blender too #monsterdon
Only 4 of the 76 rubber fish made for the film had metal teeth. Look for them!
The government pays more than private industry? What?
...Wait wait hold up, hold up. You're telling me the CIA made Killer Fish to win Vietnam and then DIDN'T use them at all?
Man, if you told Kissinger he could send killer fish to Cambodia he'd die of a priapric embolism. #Monsterdon
as a matter of fact lady, you're the one who put the piranhas there, so i really don't know why you're browbeating this guy. #monsterdon
Right, the big four. Germ warfare, chemical warfare, nuclear warfare, pescatarian warfare #monsterdon
#monsterdon Go Go Gadget convenient summer camp menses! We need some pigs blood, gonna mash it all over you. Can you cry on command? Just limp and stumble, like you're dragging your innards behind you. That's right, less Quasimodo and more Little Sally.
#monsterdon He's dead, dead drunk, you're right officer. He won't be driving will he? No. We'll get him a car, a long black car, a limousine! :)
We were lucky enough to already have this movie in our collection. As a die hard Jaws fan I couldnβt miss out on this one. #Monsterdon #Piranha
I mean that is how the "nh" is pronounced in Brazilian Portugueβ*is booed out of the room*
Intestinal fortitude is back on the menu, boys! - lead piranha
Monopoly? On second though I'll swim with the killer fish. #Monsterdon #Piranha
#monsterdon She's afraid of what else might be in the dark murky god damn river. Why can't they just do this stuff at the downtown YMCA huh? You know, chlorinated, orderly, not having random kid parts floating around the surfaceβ¦
didnβt the dude that crashed play a disc jokey in some tv show?
She is making me ROOT STRONGLY for #TeamPiranha π€¦π»ββοΈ

These two people met THIS MORNING and she's just an insurance investigator who is investigating some shit that he has nothing to do with. #monsterdon
So it's warm enough to wear shorts on a hike and go skinny dipping, but also so cold they have to huddle under the same blanket
Jeeze, the piranha have more decorum than you do, lady.
Yeahhhhh, we thought we had the world by the balls. We had that engraved on our wedding rings
What with all the asking permission all the sudden?
so we're not gonna talk about two weird creatures we just saw that shouldn't exist?
I haven't touched alcohol in 20+ years and the way this dude fake drinks is making me ill.....
the armature for the little stop action creature guy was eventually reused by the guy who made the rubber piranhas (Phil Tippett) in the production of Mad God (2021).
Long life for the little guy!
It's the 70s, and he quit smoking?! That's the most unbelievable part of this movie.
This old dude looks familiar and I think enjoys hamming it up. Fair play to him, enjoying your work no matter how shit it is!
#monsterdon Not-quite the baby Monster from 20k Miles from Venus!
#monsterdon Ahhh, we've reached the mumbling lore part of the story⦠anyone got a montage recollection we could just toss up on the screen?
the fish will kill me if I tell you their secrets
omg i love the harryhausen mudskipper scampering by in front of a rear projection <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudskipper>
Poor Kevin McCarthy π₯ he was only trying to prevent this movie from happening #Piranha1978 π #Monsterdon
This guy is from Texas. Christ that thing is big (that's what she said).
And introducing Jar Jar Binks
BABY GOJIRA! :D #Monsterdon
