History Film / Piranha3D

* InfantImmortality: Averted...quite brutally.

* AdamWesting: DavidHasselhoff as a jaded, womanizing {{jerkass}} version of himself.

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:DavidHasselhoff as... ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome Fishhunter!]]'']]

* [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Half The Woman She Used To Be]] Happens to quite a few bikini babes. Two notable examples:

* [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Half The Woman She Used To Be]]

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:DavidHasselhoff as... ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome Fishhunter!]]'']]

'''''Piranha 3D''''' is a remake [[Film/{{Piranha}} of the original]] JoeDante B-movie, directed by AlexandreAja.

* InfantImmortality: Averted.

** Seemingly the above was retconned as Andrew subsquently turns up alive and well (complete with intact nose) in ''Piranha 3DD''. His disappearance (and survival) in the first film remain unexplained.

*** Although the prehistoric aspectic is pure fail, the effects of food scarcity on piranha is based on what happens to populations of piranha trapped in isolated lakes during the dry season. These piranha trapped in impoverished environments devour everything in the lake, then begin to attack each other at the slightest sign of weakness. Even large animals like humans that the fish would not dare attack become fair game as they starve. This is the source of the legends of "killer" piranha.

* CassandraTruth: Chet refuses to believe his step-daughter Maddy about the piranha.

* HotterAndSexier

** It is the second remake, making it technically the third Piranha, just not a sequel to Piranha 2.

* AdamWesting: DavidHasselhoff
* AsHimself: Guess who.

* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: Deputy Fallon, who presumably died making a HeroicSacrifice, is at the grand opening of the water park in a wheelchair.]] However, once the piranha show up...
** HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler: Rather than prosthetics, he attaches modified '''[[PlanetTerror SHOTGUNS]]''' to them!]]

!!The (trailer for the) sequel ''Piranha 3DD'' contains examples of:

* HotterAndSexier: ''3[[IncrediblyLamePun DD]]'' somehow intends to take the first film UpToEleven.

* AsHimself: DavidHasselhoff.

* ActorAllusion: Richard Dreyfus appears in a film about an aquatic threat, plays a character called Matt and sings along to "Show Me The Way To Go Home". The credits make it clear that he is playing a different character though, with the surname Boyd rather than [[{{Jaws}} Hooper]].

* IGotBetter: [[spoiler: Deputy Fallon, who presumably died making a HeroicSacrifice, is at the grand opening of the water park in a wheelchair.]] However, once the piranha show up...
** HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler: Rather than prosthetics, he attaches modified '''[[PlanetTerror SHOTGUNS]]''' to them!]]
--->''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Bring me my legs...]]''

* BeyondTheImpossible: The beach scene. INSANE.

* HotterAndSexier: ''3[[IncrediblyLamePun DD]]'' [[BeyondTheImpossible somehow intends to take the first film]] UpToEleven.

* DoubleEntendre: The very name of the sequel. ''3'''DD'''''?

* AsHimself: DavidHasselhoff

* FanDisservice: Many very beautiful people are killed in ways that combine sex and gory violence, for example the girl who gets sliced in half by a high-tension wire as mentioned earlier: first the bikini top falls off, exposing her breasts...then the rest of her upper torso follows suit.

* OhCrap: [[spoiler: They're the ''babies'']]

* HeyItsThatGuy: EliRoth as the wet t-shirt contest host in the 3D remake.
** Who else wanted to hear Christopher Lloyd's character exclaim [[BackToTheFuture "Great Scot!"]]?
** A couple of porn starlets show up in cameo roles. You, uh, might have preferred [[DeathByCameo not knowing that.]]
** Kelly Brook. Unknown in the States, but a household name in Britain.
** Popular pornstar Gianna Michaels is the parasailing girl.

Also filling out the adult cast are Jerry O'Connell (a Girls Gone Wild-esque producer/director), ChristopherLloyd (a marine biologist), and [[TheCameo Richard Dreyfus]] ([[spoiler: [[DeathByCameo a local fisherman who is the first to get eaten]] ]]). As increulous as it may seem, the film actually got mostly ''positive'' reviews, for being realistically scary, but also knowing when to indulge in it's BMovie roots. One year later, a sequel was announced. At the 2011 Spike TV Scream Awards, the trailer for '''Piranha 3DD''' premiered. Lloyd, Rhames, and Paul Scheer (O'Connell's cameraman) will reprise their roles. [[TheVampireDiaries Danielle Panabaker]] will play the lead.
