** Special mention should be given to his commentary when he finds Lasky and Gabrielle playing in the finale. "Leaving blots at this stage of the game can be a risky proposition, unless one knows how to turn them to one's own advantage." In backgammon, a blot is a single checker alone on its space, making it vulnerable to being hit. At this point, being on the yacht with the others with the stolen jewels which he recovered without telling them, he's at risk, but is convinced he can still turn it to his advantage.

Somewhere in Brazil, retired mine owner Paul Diller plots to steal millions of dollars in precious gemstones from his former company. With the jewels stolen, he and his accomplices hide them in a lockbox at the bottom of a lake until the heat dies down. Mistrust, betrayals, and killer fish attacks ensue as each of the criminals attempts to steal the jewels for him or herself.

!!Tropes seen in the film ''Killer Fish'' include:
* TheCaper: We only see a bit of the actual diamond heist at the very beginning of the movie. Most of the movie's events deal with the fallout of the caper as the thieves attempt to backstab one another and get eaten by fish as a result.
* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:For 90% of the movie the thieves and the photo shoot group seem to be entirely separate and rarely interact, aside from Lasky having a love affair with model Gabrielle. The {{Denouement}} reveals that Gabrielle, photo director Ann, and pilot Ben were all working with Lasky the whole time.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even with as much of a misogynistic jerk as Ollie is, he reacts the same way anyone would to seeing his acquaintances get attacked by piranhas, and actually manages to build a little bit of sympathy for his character [[spoiler:before he gets killed by the piranhas himself]].
* ForeignCussWord: Losing his backgammon game against Diller, Luis remarks "Lady Luck is a French ''puta''." ''Puta'' is Portuguese slang for "prostitute."
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Diller, unsurprisingly. He defends his decision to put piranhas in the dam by reminding Kate that Hans, Warren, and Lloyd would have lived if they hadn't tried to backstab him, and were merely RewardedAsATraitorDeserves. He later backstabs Kate the first chance he gets, and makes it clear he intended to do so from the beginning.]]
* ObfuscatingDisability: [[spoiler: Paul Diller supposedly had a heart attack before the events of the movie, which is why he stopped working for the mining company.
* PiranhaProblem: The premise of the movie. Paul Diller put them in the dam before dumping the diamonds in, in case his accomplices tried to backstab him. (Which they do.)
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: This is Diller's defense for putting piranhas in the dam. Sure it caused the deaths of some of his accomplices... but only because they tried to backstab him.
* SpeechImpediment: Gabrielle has one, of the "s → th" variety.
-->'''Gabrielle:''' He'th out. Fishing. Thpear fishing.
