The film is known for its absurd action scenes and bad CGI.
Key Aspects of the Movie:
- Plot: Genetically modified Sarasomas Gigantis—created as a food source experiment gone wrong—multiply rapidly and grow up to 30 feet long, developing double hearts and thick skin.
- Characters: The story features special agent Jason Fitch (Paul Logan) and scientist Sarah Monroe (Tiffany) who try to stop the fish.
- Action & Absurdity: The film is notorious for scenes such as Fitch performing a "bicycle kick" on a jumping piranha, bullets causing massive explosions, and the fish destroying military ships and helicopters.
- Production: Directed by Eric Forsberg, it is a quintessential "B-movie" with intentionally over-the-top, low-cost CGI effects. Some scenes feature recycled footage from other Asylum movies.
- Reviews: It is generally considered a "so-bad-it's-good" film by fans of monster movies, often praised for its consistent, non-stop absurdity.
Mega Piranha was released directly to television on April 10, 2010.
