Piranha (Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack) (SteelBook Edition)

I can recall renting this several years from Netflix and watched it with my girlfriend at the time. We had so much fun laughing, admiring the gore, and all around enjoying the strongly updated look and new generational feel that it had to offer.To be fair while the original 1978 Roger Corman movie was fine for its time, this version takes the elements that were good and just okay about the original and brings them up a few steps further. Don't get me wrong the original wasn't a bad movie, it just needed an update to allow it to have more happening in special effects and whatnot.That being said, this movie is for sure a bad movie with just okay computer effects but who cares, this movie is a colossal exploding powderkeg of fun! While the CGI for the piranha isn't perfect they are still cool to look at and anytime those vicious fish look at the camera or attack people in general, I'll bite on that hook to reel me in as they're still scary and menacing. It's not too hard to suspend disbelief if the movie is entertaining enough. The 3-D aspect and also the Blu-ray transfer are a boatload(LOL) of fun as that makes the movie alot scarier and cooler a watch of which truly put me into the movie causing me to feel as though I too am fighting and struggling with these flesh hungry fish.The gore effects on the other hand, I found those to be very well done to be sure. In terms of gore this movie doesn't hesitate to pull any punches there in the least. It shows very graphically and effectively to what extent people are getting gnawed on and pulled apart by those nasty fish. The intensity of the attacks as well spares no expense in general.The action with the cops shooting at the fish, escaping the fish, and best of all Ving Rames slicing them to sushi with the electric oar all give well to more of the excitement and fun that this movie offers generously.The camp value and dark humor gave a nice touch to the movie as well.The multitude of really hot babes and female nudity was highly enjoyable. Even as beautiful and steamy hot Elizabeth Shue chose to underplay her sex appeal she still added to the eye-candy. She still proved one sexy sheriff as she still loved drop dead gorgeous and her butt looked really good in those tight khakis.Other than those things about the movie, it was great to get that appearance at the beginning(albeit short) of Richard Dreyfuss. Nice Jaws inside joke. Also to have Christopher Lloyd once again playing a scientist was also enjoyable. Two actors of whom as far as I'm concerned are welcome any time.So in closing, If you like b-movie camp and silliness, great gore, creepy creatures that are highly menacing, playful dark humor, really hot and topless babes, a cool 3-D experience, sexy people partying, and just a simple overall fun time, then this movie is for you. A must see! 10 stars out of 10!

I missed this movie when it first came out in August 2010.I decided to see the movie with Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston that was playing on the same night in the same theater.I sort of regret that decision inasmuch as I would have loved to see this movie on 3d.However,there are no regrets in life.I decided to order this as soon as it was available January 11 2011 on Amazon.Thank you Amazon for shipping this promptly.What a classic "old school" 70's horror movie.It had all the gore,nudity,and horror comedy what can be known as 'black comedy". See, I am 43 and I grew up as a kid in the 1970's.These were the days of "Night of the Living Dead", and "Squirm". This movie centers on a beach community during Spring Break,and they are beset by an attack of killer piranha.What I loved was the set up before the attack and gore.the movie showed a bunch of rambunctious college students partying away like nothing bad will ever and can ever happen to them in life,Although,women may be offended at this movie inasmuch as it does objectify women as "bimbo's" in bathing suits to be lusted after,the firts half of the movie with the partying adds to the eventual suspense.Everything seems just swell.sex.drugs and rock n roll until the attack of the piranha.What ensues is awesome gore.The major scene where the piranha attack a group of partygoers has so much gore and suspense.Lots of mangled bodies and blood.You do not see this anymore in Hollywood movies because the studios want a PG 13 rating to sell the movie more.The nudity in the movie with the gore is reminiscent of the 1970's in film when studios were more liberal.What was classic as well in the film, was the deliberate silly,funny parts in the gore.True many old school horror movies were silly and campy-almost self deprecating.Moreover,there is a classic theme of the hero boy who eventually saves the woman=prince charming theme of some horror movies.Lastly, to see such beautiful,sexy females in bathing suits turn into mangled bodies by being eaten by piranha is alarming and truthfully shocking.This movie is really gory and has a good story.I was not bored at all during the movie it moved at a good pace.The performances were well done by the actors and actresses.I highly recommend this movie.It is rare to see a movie with a "hard" R rating these days.This movie bring 2011 back to the 1970's.Highly recommended.Don't miss it.It is fun to watch with a group of friends on a Saturday nigh for some laughs and screams.

Quite funny & entertaining. The hungry, hungry prehistoric piranhas kind of make the shark in Jaws look like a goldfish, while they vigorously thin out the dumb end of the gene pool. Plus there's a good leavening of humor, which is a must for me to enjoy a gore fest type horror film like this one. This movie is not for the kiddies, or the pornographically squeamish. There are a LOT of bare breasts and thong clad behinds happily wobbling around. No one even comes close to actually, "doing it" (not even kissing), though, so... Also, Amazon Prime's, maybe, just a teensy bit misleading in regards to the credits, in that Richard Dreyfuss only appears briefly in the very beginning, but it's no big deal, the film in no way suffers from the lack of his presence. I'm kind of hard to please, and I give a solid 3 and a half stars to this light hearted cinematic endeavor.

Es un video clásico y bien trabajado

Im Alter mag man ja bekanntlich immer weniger Horrorfilme und die Begeisterung für dieses Genre wird mehr und mehr zu einer Phase der Jugend. Doch (zum Glück) gibt es noch immer wieder Ausnahmen. Eine Ausnahme im Bereich der Horrorkomödie ist dieser Fisch, aber auch nur in der hier vorliegenden ungeschnittenen Version. Trotz Hirn aus macht hier alles riesig Spaß und erinnert in seiner Gorigkeit an die Klassiker wie Braindead. Schade, dass Teil 2 enttäuschte.Lieferung und Ware einwandfrei.

出品者様に質問してから購入させて頂きましたが、質問の時から最後まで親切ご丁寧なご対応をして頂いて本当にありがとうございました!又機会がございましたらその時は本当に宜しくお願い致します!ありがとうございました(^^)☆★
