Line #10 YMMV/Piranha3D


1	* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Yep, you guessed it: by ''far'' the most talked-about scene is the underwater nude ballet.
2	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
3	** The nude ballet scene. The French aria, accompanied by Léo Delibes' Flower Duet, just adds to the [[strike: weirdness]] awesome.
4	** The infamous GroinAttack. Could also be seen as {{Narm}} assuming it was meant to be dramatic.
5	** ''The ending'' is this. At the end of the film, [[spoiler:Novak gets eaten by a man-sized piranha]]. What makes it an example of this trope is that ''Film/Piranha3DD'' ''[[CanonDiscontinuity never even mentions it]]'', much less [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot expands upon it.]]
6	* BillingDisplacement: Richard Dreyfuss is billed '''first''' and received a DeathByCameo, although it did [[PlotTriggeringDeath kick off the plot]].
7	* CrossesTheLineTwice: "They took my [[spoiler:penis]]!"
8	* EnsembleDarkHorse:
9	** In just two short scenes, Creator/ChristopherLloyd manages to upstage everybody else in the film.
10	** Creator/KellyBrook's character, Danni, is pretty much the fan favorite of the film.
11	** Creator/VingRhames' Deputy Fallon, especially in his badass final scene.
12	* FanonDiscontinuity: The last 10 minutes or so (or at least the last minute) are tempting to disregard, given how well-liked characters [[spoiler:Danni and Novak]] die in the final act, and how the [[spoiler:adult piranha]] fall under SequelNonEntity.
13	* FridgeBrilliance: Why do the piranha continue swarming Fallon ''far'' more excessively than they do their other victims during the Spring Breaker attack? (In contrast to when there's only one available person in the water to eat, the piranha somewhat scatter into smaller swarms during the all-you-can-eat buffet that is the attack, yet they're ''excessively relentless'' in their efforts to swarm Fallon, despite his propeller usage creating an un-ignorable InstantDeathRadius which even an unintelligent predator's basic self-preservation instincts should compel it to steer away from.) The answer to that mystery lies is that the propeller is producing an excessively large amount of blood in the water around Fallon by the second due to the dead piranha (considerably more than the individually-mutilated and scattered Spring Breakers), which is likely attracting even more piranha in a vicious cycle. Whilst the piranha work well together in swarms and are only shown attacking each-other when fighting over human scraps, Goodman ''did'' theorize earlier in the film that they probably committed cannibalism to survive underground, so it's not much of a surprise that the piranha wouldn't distinguish the smell of dead brethren's remains from the delicious smell of fresh ''human'' meat.
14	* HamAndCheese:
15	** Creator/JerryOConnell as the porn producer.
16	** Creator/ChristopherLloyd isn't immune from this either, although his character feels more believable by comparison.
17	* {{Moe}}: Despite being a porn star, Danni inspires a lot of this feeling in the scenes where she isn't on the job, due to her IntergenerationalFriendship with Jake's little sister and efforts to save [[spoiler:Derrick]] from being killed, plus how her failure to do so leaves her deeply upset.
18	* SignatureScene: The underwater nude ballet, with the spring break massacre not far behind.
19	* SoBadItsGood: A likely intentional example.
20	* SpecialEffectsFailure: The gore in the 3D remake. Almost inverted; a lot of the time, it comes across as ''too'' realistic, [[NightmareFuel which makes it more disturbing than]] BloodyHilarious.
21	* {{Squick}}: Believe us when we say that ''no one'' wanted to see [[spoiler:two piranhas fighting over a severed penis]].
22	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: [[spoiler:Danni. Her fate doesn't add anything to the narrative besides some minor suspense, and her character feels like she could have done a bit more in the climax.]]
23	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The entire film is a snapshot and parody of the Von Dutch/Ed Hardy spring break pop culture excess of the 2000s, made at the last moment in time when that culture was mainstream. Its parody of ''Girls Gone Wild'' in particular is likely to be lost on anybody born after 1995.
24	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Despite the above, the piranhas in the movie are completely CGI, and yet they really look believable.
