So bad ... IT'S GREAT!!

This movie is NOT a horror film, it's a comedy. I laughed my flying piranha butt off! I'm not sure what everyone was expecting but seeing Bishop from Aliens trying to act as a tough guy is worth all the horrible music, terrible foley, god awful dialog, bad special effects, cheesy 80's clothes and lame sexual references. If you have a good sense of humor and aren't expecting anything scary or dramatic, it's hilarious.

The main woman is a Klingon from STNG, and there's more topless shots in this movie than you can shake a stick at.

I'm sure it was just an excuse to film a movie in Jamaica and have enough hot women around to keep everyone happy. I can still see a lot of James Cameron in this film.

Did you tell LUKE..? Is THAT who you could tell??

Connie Lynn Hadden (Loretta) was Penthouse Magazine Pet of the Month for October 1981.

Jim's no fool.

Yee Haw! It's so cheesy I was reminded of some early 80s porn videotape waiting for Tricia O'Neil to pull off her panties and sit on someones face or two Penthouse Pets to seduce the stuttering cook with flopped cock bj hairy pussy closeups (so cool when the Penthouse girls got chomped - how dare they tease that poor man!) No actual porn, guess I'll have to settle for some wing-flapping neck-chomping tweety-bird-chirping fish. But seriously couldn't you just pull them away with your hands? I mean why does everyone instantly turn into a moron every time those stupid fishies swoop in? Anyway, I'm off to impress the chicks with my freshly-permed hairstyle, cut-off Levi shorts, and Texas Instruments digital watch!

I liked it up until the last half hour or so. The cheese and gore were funny. But then when there was the half eaten guy that was still alive, albeit barely I felt a bit sick and couldn't really watch any more.
