| 1 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the original film, there's a small bipedal reptilian creature that resembles a pocket-sized [[Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon Gillman]] with a long tail in the lab building, realized through pretty good stop-motion animation. Neither of the heroes notice it, Dr. Hoak never mentions it, and it disappears completely from the film when it runs off-screen after Hoak first appears. |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: To distract a guard, Maggie shouts [[Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman "Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!"]] and then flashes her breasts. The [[Film/SupermanTheMovie Christopher Reeve movie]] came out four months later. |
| 3 | * {{Narm}}: The piranhas sound like gobbling turkeys whenever we see them munching on someone. |
| 4 | * {{Tearjerker}}: |
| 5 | ** When Paul and Maggie arrive at the summer camp after the piranha attack, a badly-bitten Dumont is shown laying next to the blanket-covered dead body of a child who did not survive, clearly despondent. |
| 6 | *** Betsy's death during the said piranha attack can also be sad to some. |
| 7 | ** Near the end of the film, Paul enters a catatonic state after polluting the water to kill the piranhas, as his daughter Suzie watches with tears as Maggie tries to give him water. |
