->''"We want fish! We want fish!"''
-->-- '''The tourists'''

A 1981 sequel to ''Film/{{Piranha}}'' directed by Creator/JamesCameron in his feature debut, which [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative in his own words is]] "the finest flying piranha movie ever made" and starring Creator/LanceHenriksen.

A batch of [[FlyingSeafoodSpecial experimental piranhas]] made by the army have escaped their containment and started attacking the tourists of a local UsefulNotes/{{Jamaica}}n island.

Midway through the filming, the director (or at least the credited one) had a nightmare; the result of that nightmare was ''Film/TheTerminator''. [[note]]Or so he claims, Creator/HarlanEllison has a different opinion of where the idea for it came from.[[/note]]

!!This film has the examples of:

* AttackOfTheTownFestival: The hotel that Anne is working for is about to have an annual party on the beach. When she demands that it is cancelled until the water is safe again, she is fired on the spot. True to the trope, the fish attack the hapless partiers.
* ContinuityNod: The events of the previous film are mentioned when Anne and Tyler study the pictures on Piranhas' victim.
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: The Piranha can fly now.
* ImpromptuTracheotomy: One piranha that was hiding inside a body flies out and starts biting the throat of the nurse who had the misfortune of being near. It then flies through a window to freedom.
* MrsRobinson: Mrs. Wilson, who very openly hits on a younger lifeguard.
* NumberedSequels: And an odd example of the number being written.
* PorkyPigPronunciation: Mal, the cook whom Jai and Loretta trick to get them some food has a stuttering problem.
* SameLanguageDub: Despite her British ethnicity, Carole Davis' voice is dubbed by another actress in the English language version, most likely to make her sound American.
* SexSignalsDeath: First people to die are a couple who dive into the wreckage of the piranhas' origin and try to have sex there.
* TitleDrop: The subtitle is dropped when Anne is asked to explain the spawning of the fish.
* TheTitling: Used for the subtitle.
