    Funny and silly from james carmron in his 1st film!

    It sounds crap and probably should be but the talent of a young James Cameron, here in his debut, raises this film. It's also chock full or irony: at the start there are two divers swimming around a sunken ship, and the film was written by H.A.Milton.

It's as if he knows they look cheap and rubbery so minimalises their appearances, instead choosing to focus more on a wide range of characters - while also invoking Jaws. Oh, and Lance Henriksen is in it as well, being brilliant.

    One of Cameron's first (I can't believe he followed this up w/ Terminator) is no where as good as Dante's first Piranha outing. Desperate fans of bad cinema might enjoy

    Piranha II: The Spawning is a sequel to the 1978 classic Piranha directed by Joe Dante and produced by Roger Corman, the sequel was pretty good movie. The plot is a serious muddle. This movie packed with suspense, amazing special effects, and featuring a heroic performance by Lan...( read more)ce Henriksen.
