Nov 21 2008 Three Reasons I'm Lovin' 'Piranha 3D'

1. This concept art (the concept being "a slightly more threatening piranha"):

So carefully straddling the line between menacing and singing ragtime tunes. Classic.

2. This dialogue from the film included in the press release:

"What do they really eat?"

"You mean besides flesh and blood?"

Clearly just a well-written script. Really makes you ask what could be next. Probably either, "Yes, what else?" or "No, I was just asking if they really eat flesh and blood. Why, do they eat something else?"

3. The studio-released summary:

A new type of terror is about to be cut lose on beautiful Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater terror sets free scores of prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers, including hot local cop Julie Forester, must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents. But out heroine is seriously outnumbered, and with only one chance to save the lake and her family from totally being devoured, she must risk everything to destroy the aquatic carnivores herself.

Whenever a lead character is described as a "hot local cop", you know you're in for something special. Those "razor-toothed residents" are definitely going to shred her clothes in just the wrong (or right!) places.
