You know what that sound means? It's another
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I will
be your host this evening. We have a crazy movie
set up for you. First off, a couple things to
get out of the way. Just some finer things, everything
like that. This was supposed to be an episode
on Leprechaun 2, but somebody, and I'm not going
to name names, but it begins with an M and ends
with an Ike, drank too much and passed out on
St. Patrick's Day. and kind of let the time get
away. So it was a lack of time between recordings
and everything like that. And it just didn't
feel right to do Leprechaun 2 in April, if that
makes sense to you. The person that guessed it
correctly still gets their shout out in this
episode. I think I found a movie that is pretty
similar to what we were expecting from Leprechaun
2. And in the future, Leprechaun 2 may happen
further down the road, but probably on St. Patrick's
Day next year. But yeah, it just didn't make
sense to do that well after St. Patrick's Day,
if that makes sense. So we found a different
movie. Again, same kind of level. I feel like
that an interesting movie to talk about. Some
other things as well. We have some life changes
happening and everything like that. Obviously,
I was at Mitchell's wedding not that long ago.
We've got Andre and Jill's wedding coming up
as well. And so there are just some life changes
that are keeping us apart, keeping the podcast,
I'll say, not as frequently produced. That being
said, I'm constantly thinking about it. I'm trying
to find ways to constantly promote and do things
for it. So we are not going anywhere. some time
in between episodes. It's not on purpose. It's
just life gets in the way. And I think a lot
of you podcasters that are listening in completely
understand that. And so many people that are
listening, maybe you understand that too. We
all have things that hit our lives and just affect
us in different ways. I am trying my best to
keep this podcast going as long as I can, as
well as to give you the utmost perfection of
content that we want to provide. Some of the
times I've recorded some episodes or started
recording and I just don't feel good about it.
So I don't release it or I do something different,
that kind of stuff. And that's also some of the
things that get in the way of us releasing episodes.
We strive for a certain quality. We strive for
a certain quality of bad movie. So there are
certain things that have made the cutting room
floor that you haven't heard. And it's a choice
more so than anything. Because we want to provide
you with the best content we possibly can. So
that's a lot of stuff to talk about that just
needed to get out there. Basically, it's just
going to be there's going to be some weeks in
between that we don't release episodes. We're
going to try our best to release it as often
as we can. But there are some life changes that
we are all going through that make it hard to
do episodes weekly. We are still striving for
at least bi -weekly, but sometimes it happens,
sometimes it doesn't. That's a lot to get out
of the way. So, sorry about all that. I'm back
to my beer. And what beer am I drinking? This
is Brotherly Love Hazy IPA from Victory Brewing
Company. It is 6%, and it is a tropical. IPA
is what I would say. I got a pack of Victory
Brewing that's all kind of tropical flavors and
stuff. This one's pretty good. I would say this
is my favorite of the pack so far. I've had three
of the four flavors. This is probably my favorite
of the pack. The one I had last night, I can't
remember the name off the top of my head, but
that was probably second. And the first one was
definitely third. I'm going to have the fourth
one probably later tonight. Just a spoiler alert.
All right. You're sick of all that nonsense.
You're sick of all that beer talk. Probably.
I don't know. You may actually like the beer
talk. Who knows? We crack a beer open every episode.
You can see that on our Instagram as well. Basically,
you can find us anywhere at Game for a Movie.
We're on threads now even. So please continue
to follow us on wherever we are, especially if
things like TikTok go down or X slash Twitter,
whatever it may be. Just be prepared. That's
what I'm going to say. So if you like. The Game
for a Movie content. You can also sign up for
our newsletter. I release a newsletter probably
once a month where I talk about a certain topic
every month. This one, since April showers, was
all about rain in movies. And I think I did a
pretty good job with it, if you don't mind me
saying so. All right, let's get started, shall
we? Let's talk about a movie that I have on the
same level as Leprechaun 2. It's a movie that
features a lot of skin. A lot of swear words,
a lot of piranhas. It is Piranha 3DD. Yes, that
is correct, Piranha 3DD. If that title doesn't
say what you are in for, I don't know how to
help you because legitimately they spelled it
out for you. It is double D. It's not 3DD. You're
supposed to read it as 3DD. The poster, of course,
had a woman in a... Skintily clad bikini. And
some piranhas behind her. In the water. And yeah.
You knew what you got. You knew what you were
going into. And everything like that. I had a
lot of choices. This one seemed like one that
would be a lot of fun to watch. Even though it's
awful. And I'm pretty confident. That's what
I got with that. That's exactly what I wanted
with it. And it delivered what was on the tin.
This movie is from 2012. It runs about an hour
and 23 minutes. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an
11 % critic score and a 22 % audience score.
And that feels pretty much about right. It doesn't
do anything. It doesn't reinvent the wheel or
anything like that. You got exactly what it said
it was. Piranha, DD, Double D. And it was piranhas,
boobs, and that's basically it. It doesn't go
very farther. Down the surface level. The director
of this film is John Gulager. I think that's
how you pronounce it. G -U -L -A -G -E -R. Gulager.
He has nine directing credits to his name. He's
got more acting and cinematographer credits.
I think he's definitely more of a cinematographer.
And it showed in this movie too. He did a really
good job with the cinematography on this movie.
Even though it's not a good movie. Some of the
things he's known for directing was the Feast
series. Feast, Feast 2, Sloppy Seconds, and Feast
3, The Happy Finish. All of these are basically,
besides the first one, direct -to -DVD. Zombie
Knight is a TV movie he also did, and Children
of the Corn Runaway, another straight -to -video
movie. This is the only one, or one of two, that
got feature -length releases in theaters. I say
this was released in theaters, and it was. In
the U .S., though, it only hit 75 theaters nationwide.
95 % of the film's box office receipts came from
overseas, including Malaysia. Really love this
movie, surprisingly. I don't know why, but, you
know, good for Malaysia. Some other fun facts,
everyone got to keep a piranha fish egg when
filming was over, and most of the actors and
actresses were given scuba training, because
there's a lot of times where, obviously, they're
underwater. So... especially with the lead character
in this. She had a ton of scenes, and apparently
she's not a very strong swimmer, so it definitely
helped her out to get at least a little more
comfortable in the water. And that is played
by Danielle Panabaker. She played Maddie, the
main heroine of the film. That's some behind
-the -scenes stuff. This movie was made for about
$5 million, and its gross worldwide was about
$8 million, a little over $8 million, really
$8 .5 million. It was filmed in Wilmington, North
Carolina, so that's part of the reason why I've
known about this movie and I've wanted to watch
it, now living in Charlotte. That's basically
all I got with that. Let's get into some fun
with it. Obviously, this movie was rated R, so
if you are young and you're listening to this,
get ready for some swear words, get ready for
some talk about skin, and get ready for some
piranha attacks. So, the very beginning of the
movie starts with news position. If you've not
heard what news position is before, basically
it's a newscast recapping the events of the first
movie, which makes it really easy if you have
not seen the first movie, basically saying what
happened at Lake Victoria and that now the piranhas
are thought to be eliminated or thought to be
at least hibernating. And of course, it ends
with, if it happened here, can it happen again?
And if so, where? This introduces us to our first
two characters that are very small roles. It's
two farmers that are wondering what happened
to their cow. And basically, one of the farmers
is of course played by Gary Busey. This is the
first of many celebrities that will be in this
movie. And Gary Busey's role is a whole of five
minutes at most. I don't even know his name at
this point. Literally, I don't know if they even
go into it. But Gary and his buddy farmer are
looking for a cow. And they find it dead in the
water. They believe that it has drowned. It just
didn't get up and succumbed to the water, pretty
much. And so, as they're trying to, like, scoop
it up and get it out of the water, the cow, you
notice that something's coming out of it. And
you're really worried. You're like, oh, no. Is
this the beginning? Oh, God. It's going to be
the piranhas, everything like that. It's going
to... bust out of the cow, and it's a fart. Yes,
this movie has started with Gary Busey as a farmer
with a dead cow and a fart joke. And not just
any fart joke. It keeps going. And so the boys
both decide that they want to kill the smell,
and so they basically light a lighter, and that's
enough to blow up the cow and release all the
piranha eggs from her belly. and they all hatch
immediately. The one guy that we don't know his
name or who it is as an actor is eaten immediately,
and Gary is trying to get out of it, but he can't
get out, and basically he grabs one of the piranhas,
he bites his head off for no reason, spits it
towards the camera, and then dies, succumbs to
the bites of the piranhas. Why did he bite the
head and spit it towards the camera, you might
ask? Well, this movie is shot exclusively in
3D. Even though I wasn't watching a 3D screen
with 3D glasses, you can tell that this was one
of those things that was supposed to fire a piranha
face into your view. So there we go, Gary Busey's
dead, and so is his buddy the other farmer. And
that's all we see from it so far. Basically,
just to reintroduce the piranhas, say they're
back, they've hatched, and they are on another
killing spree. They don't address it really,
but the lake they're on or the water system they're
on basically gets its water from Lake Victoria,
which is where the first one had all the piranha
problems and everything like that. So next scene,
we're probably going to get an introduction of
where they are headed, where they are going.
Next scene, it's the next day and it is David
Kochner. He is Chet. and he is the water park
owner of the Big Wet Water Park. That's what
it's called, the Big Wet. Nothing gets you wetter
than the Big Wet Water Park. That is the theme.
Yes, it is going to be a lot of these kind of
jokes. Part of it is its charm for that, and
the fact that it's a B -movie like this, and
part of it is just, oh, make it stop. Come on,
what are we doing? David Koechner, if you don't
know who I'm talking about, is Champ Kind in
the Anchorman movies. He's the slightly balding
guy. He's got the hair on the side. You know,
the whammy, that guy in Anchorman. That's the
best way I have to describe him. He's been in
a bunch of other stuff. You probably have seen
him. You probably know who he is. Even if you
don't know his name, he's definitely one of those
actors that's like, oh, I recognize him, but
I just did not recognize his name. Pretty much
his character is he's a pervy water park owner.
The co -owner of the Big Wet Water Park is Maddie,
his stepdaughter. Now, the wife slash mother
died somewhere along the line. We don't know
how or anything like that. And Maddie and Chet
just kind of don't see eye to eye. Now, they
both agreed that they were going to make this
water park and everything like that. But Chet
has done some things that kind of rubbed Maddie
the wrong way, including... Chet has created
an adults -only section of this water park, and
instead of, you know, hiring lifeguards, anything
like that, he's hired strippers. So, as we are
ten minutes into this movie, you walk into the
adults -only section of the water park, and there's
nothing but boobs. Boobs everywhere. Thus, Double
D, again, I don't know what you were expecting
from this movie. If you want me to say something
different... That's just what it is. It's just
a part of the movie. And, spoilers, they actually
come back into play later. Chet's proud of himself
because he's saying this is the first stripper
water park ever with an adult pool and naked
women. And Maddie is back from college with a
bunch of her friends that are going to work there
for the summer. Already, I love how much cannon
fodder there is. Obviously, we've got the strippers
and everything like that, but we also have this
group of teenagers, that majority of which, even
further into the movie, you're just kind of like,
oh, they're just here to get eaten. Great. I
love it. I'm here for this. Some of these names,
just to make it easier for you, are Barry, Shelby,
Josh, Kyle, Big Dave, Ashley, and Travis. These
are the names of the teenagers. Their personalities
are wide array. Shelby is the virgin, and she
is trying to get it on with her boyfriend. She's
trying to get it on with Josh. She wants to lose
her virginity this summer to Josh. There's also
Kyle, who is an ex of Maddie's, but there's still
some tension there. And he works as a police
officer. He comes in uniform most of the time.
There's Barry. Barry is like the unrequited love
puppy of Maddie. He basically is smaller and
weaker and that kind of stuff. And he loves Maddie
but doesn't know how to share it. Big Dave is
the marijuana -smoking stoner slacker of the
group. And Ashley and Travis, they are together.
Ashley's kind of, for lack of a better term,
a little bit of a slut. Travis is looking to
get on with her, and that's pretty much all what
you need to know. Basically just a bunch of horny
teenagers that are just having a party now that
they're all back together a couple days before
the big wet is set to open. After the party kind
of dies down, Shelby and Josh decide they're
going to go towards the water, not in the water
park, but the... adjoining lake river whatever
it is outside of the water park and shelby convinces
josh that they should get naked and have a little
fun skinny dipping and everything like that and
so they get together get a little close and all
of a sudden shelby gets hurt somehow some way
she gets hurt and she thinks that it's josh hurting
her so she gets mad and leaves the water and
basically josh is left in there meanwhile ashley
and travis are in a shagging wagon as I like
to call it. It's one of those old school vans
that has the shag carpeting and everything like
that, where they are praying before they have
sex. Ashley, as I said, is a little bit of a
whore. She wants to pretend like she's a goody
two -shoes, but she prays for forgiveness before
she has sex again. And not only does she want
to have sex, she has kinky handcuffs. So Ashley
handcuffs and handcuffs handcuffs ashley handcuffs
jesus uh travis to the table and she climbs on
top of him and they start getting a little frisky
the van though starts to move into the water
ashley doesn't seem to notice but travis definitely
does and points out that they are sliding into
the water and that she needs to figure it out
in the ordeal of the van moving she drops the
key to the handcuffs As the water starts to drift
into the van, Ashley needs to find a way to find
the key or get out and help Travis, and she doesn't
do either really well. Travis is basically getting
covered in water, and not just that, guess what's
in the water? If you guessed sharks, you're wrong.
It's piranhas. The piranhas start nipping at
Travis, including biting his hand, so I'm actually
thinking this is kind of a good thing. As much
as you don't want to lose a hand, If they bite
your hand off, you can get out of the van and
out of the water. Also, Ashley gets out of the
van and she just sits on top of it while it's
going into the water and hearing that Travis
is basically yelling and screaming, getting eaten,
and he dies. I don't know how big this river
or lake is that they are on, but Shelby and Josh
were just in the water and it's insinuated it's
the same time frame. How did they not hear everything
that was going on or anything? So that's night
one and Travis and Ashley are dead. Ashley, mostly
because she just sat on top of the van instead
of, you know, trying to get out of the water,
including they were not far from the shore at
all. Remind you, this is just a van that rolled
down a hill and started sinking. It's not going
that far away. She could have easily gotten out.
And I know that some of you may say, well, there's
piranhas in the water and she's getting eaten
and everything like that. They've shown already
Gary Busey's character was able to travel at
least like 10 feet while getting eaten. It's
not a good feeling, I'm sure. But I think Ashley
could have made it the five feet, gotten out
of the water and not gotten eaten. Instead, she
just sat on the van as it slowly went into the
river and drowned poor Travis while he's also
getting eaten. And Ashley. either succumb to
drowning herself or piranha bites just sinking
into the water. It goes to the next day and neither
Ashley nor Travis show up, but it's just no big
deal. They just don't say anything about it.
It's just kind of, oh, no, no, Ashley, no, Travis,
I guess they overslept or something like that.
They don't even address that. Just Ashley and
Travis don't show up. We also learn a little
bit about Shelby's insecurities. Basically, she's
asking Josh, do you think Ashley is prettier
than me? And Josh jokes with her and goes, no,
I hate girls with big boobs. Basically, they
go about their day. They're setting up, getting
ready for the big opening day, everything like
that. We see people like Big Dave, for example,
is in the water. And he just so happens to be
fucking the pool jet. This is not important for
any reason. I just wanted to include that. Big
Dave is, again, your stoner, goofy guy. So what
happens next, you might ask? Well, Kyle, being
one of the cops, has found the shaggin' wagon.
They found it drowned, and they also found the
bodies of Travis and Ashley. And so he comes
to tell the other teens that, hey, they're dead.
They drowned or something. Something ate them.
They don't know what. and Shelby is immediately
sad, and so she decides she's going to run off
and go sit on the dock by the River Lake, whatever
it is. They don't address what it is, so I'm
going to keep saying River Lake, whatever it
is. The first movie was Lake Victoria, so this
leads me to assume it's like a river or something
instead of a lake, and especially because it's
not that wide. I guess you can't call it much
of a lake, but who knows? I don't know. It could
be a lake or whatever. So Shelby is on the dock.
Maddie decides that she's going to, I just realized
that all of the women's names are like Ashley,
Maddie, Shelby, all ending in a Y and everything
like that. Okay, well, that's something I just
realized. Maddie goes to check in on Shelby because
she knows that her and Ashley were close and
wants to comfort her and everything like that.
And so they're having a moment and all of a sudden
the dock gets knocked over. And basically, Shelby
and Maddie are both in the water and Shelby sees
the piranhas and one bites her and she realizes
they need to get out of there. Maddie is able
to get out. She's holding her hand to Shelby.
Shelby is able to climb on the dock and the dock
breaks and splits apart. Shelby is so worried.
She can't do it. She can't make the jump. And
I'm like, it's a foot girl. She has her hand
out and everything like just jump. What are you
doing? Well, she finally makes a jump and it
catches everybody off balance. So both her and
Maddie slide into the water. And again, they're
getting like nipped at and everything like that.
And they're both able to get out. Basically,
after their ordeal, Shelby is feeling sick and
she throws up. But not just like a normal throw
up. You know why? Because this movie is 3D. So
of course we got to have a projectile vomit on
the audience. After the projectile vomit, because
3D and everything like that, the girls come back
to the guys and tell them that there was piranhas
in the water and that they think it's the ones
from Lake Victoria and that they need to get
everybody out of there now. Barry seems to know
the scientist, that there's a scientist, this
crackpot scientist on YouTube and everything
like that, that knows everything about the piranhas.
They can try to reach out to him and try to figure
out what he knows and how they can get rid of
their piranha problem. They knock on the door
and lo and behold, opening the door is the piranha
expert, Christopher Lloyd. Yes, Christopher Lloyd
is in this. He plays Mr. Goodman, basically this
YouTube crackpot that has all these theories
about the piranhas and everything like that.
He was in the first movie and... He's going to
teach them all about the piranhas. We're going
to learn more. We're going to take a break. And
by take a break, I'm going to give a shout out
to the people that guessed the bad movie right.
Again, this was supposed to be Leprechaun 2.
So the first one to get it was X Radio X Podcast.
It is a music podcast. You can find them at X
Radio X 1 on Twitter or X as it's called. You
know. Basically, their show. Matt and Jace are
two ex -college radio guys who became ex -professional
radio guys who are now professionally guys in
other professions. Tune in to see if you get
Matt and Jace, Proof Rock and Jace the Ace, the
Doctors of Love, or maybe you'll just get two
guys yelling at people to get off their lawn.
Whichever pair shows up, you'll get two guys
talking about things they want to talk about
in the way they want to talk about them because
there is no pesky program director to tell them
they're doing it wrong. As a former radio guy
myself, these guys are an absolute blast. So
be sure to check out at X Radio X, the music
podcast. Thank you guys very much for guessing.
We appreciate it. And I know that you had said
that Jace's birthday was recently. Happy birthday.
It's a little belated, but happy birthday, Jace.
Thank you guys. X Radio X podcast. Check them
out. Of course, after you finish listening to
us. So we're back. Barry, Kyle, and Maddie. are
at Christopher Lloyd's place, Mr. Goodman, and
they are talking with him about what to do with
these piranhas, like what they can do and everything
like that. Shelby, after throwing up, her and
Josh are hanging out basically to make her feel
better and everything like that. Barry is connecting
on a personal level with Mr. Goodman, Christopher
Lloyd, and Maddie kind of finds it endearing,
and you can kind of tell at this point. I know
I said it already, but it's kind of at this point
you kind of realize that obviously Barry has
a crush on Maddie, but Maddie is kind of with
the police douche Kyle, as well as that Maddie
just kind of never seen this side of Barry before.
One of the things that Mr. Goodman shows is that
these piranhas, even if there's galvanized steel,
yes, he says galvanized steel. In between the
piranha and something he wants, the piranha can
still break through the steel. That's the important
thing that we learn from this whole thing. Essentially,
they come up with this plan. They need to make
sure that the grates on the outside of the water
park that go out to the lake, basically, they
need to make sure that all of them are sealed,
secure, and that the piranhas can't get through.
and get to the people in it, especially because
tomorrow is the opening day of the Big Wet Water
Park. As I said, Shelby and Josh are away from
this group. Basically, they are at Josh's place.
Shelby is having problems. She's not feeling
well, everything like that, and Josh is just
trying to comfort her, and Shelby knows what
she wants. This is an exact quote. Make love
to me. I feel like something is wrong, and if
there is, I don't want to die a virgin. Josh,
being the well -thought man that he is, goes,
uh -huh, and basically takes off his clothes
right away. I want you guys all to know where
this scene is going. I think you can all probably
guess where this scene is going and why Shelby
is not feeling well and why it is a bad idea
that she has sex with Josh. This is also interspersed
with the scene of Barry, Kyle, and Shelby getting
to the drainage parts. And Shelby is looking
for help so that they can all do this. Kyle is
basically, I'll be lookout because I don't want
you to get busted for swimming in this area because
it's a crime scene. Barry can't swim. And so
Barry and Kyle just let Maddie swim on her own
to make sure the drainage pipes are good. Mind
you, and this is a very big mind you, Mr. Goodman
slash Christopher Lloyd showed them a demo that
with the right amount of interest they can break
through galvanized steel. I don't believe these
drainage pipes that they have are more strong
than galvanized steel. Especially because they
look like white plastic filters pretty much.
They're just there to catch things to make sure
they don't go in the lake when they drain. Maybe
that's just me, but you're about to have an opening
day of a water park. There's going to be a bunch
of people there. Do we think this is a good idea,
or should we just, you know, close the water
park and not introduce all these humans to make
these piranhas so hungry? Maddie has a scare
in the water, but it's nothing too big. She's
able to get out of it, and everything seems fine.
They all are happy with everything going on.
uh barry goes a separate way kyle and maddie
have a little conversation but then they go their
separate ways and then we go back to shelby and
josh shelby and josh are getting it on they're
having a good time you know they're feeling it
everything feels good and then all of a sudden
ow ow ow shelby is not doing well she she's in
pain And at first she just thinks, oh, she's
a virgin. It's going to hurt a little bit, that
kind of thing. And then she realizes it's not
just virgin things. She really wants him to stop.
And then she goes into a seizure. Because a piranha
was inside Shelby and came out of her vagina
and bit the shit out of Josh's dick. And Josh
is freaking out because this piranha won't let
go of his dick. idea to do was to grab a knife
and chop off his dick with the piranha after
that happens shelby comes out of a seizure and
josh yells at her you bitch you did this to me
and he falls succumbing to a loss of blood and
passes out she's confused but then sees not only
the dick but the smashed piranha on the ground
of the apartment basically gets him to hospital
and calls Maddie on the way to tell her what
happened and she rushes to the hospital. Another
thing we see is that Chet is driving his car
and he gets pulled over. But who does he get
pulled over by? Of course, it's Kyle. Douche
Kyle. Douche Kyle reminds him that he's on the
take and he's keeping Maddie away. From whatever
Chet is doing. And we don't learn what it is.
But all we know is that Chet is paying him. To
keep Maddie away from this. And basically to
butt out. So Kyle is on the take. He is making
money off of Chet. To keep Maddie away from something.
We don't know what. There wasn't much that happened
at the hospital, but I just want to include this
line because Shelby said, Josh cut off his penis
because something came out of my vagina. I just
thought that was a hilarious line. And it's a
great line read, by the way, as well. Maddie
decides to go home and she decides she's going
to have a bath. And we get like a Nightmare on
Elm Street style scene where these piranhas go
through the drain and start. biting at her and
everything like that but it was just a dream
sequence it's not important at all it has nothing
to do with the rest of the movie and then we
end up at a hotel and in this hotel are two hookers
and david hasselhoff with a guitar singing a
song to them at first it just seemed like that
was it it was just like a one -off kind of thing
but now we get to the next day and he's there
he had been signed up to open the big wet water
park he's the Feature lifeguard of the Big Wet
Water Park because, you know, Baywatch and everything
like that. Also going in there is Paul Scheer
and Ving Rhames. Basically, if you don't remember
them from the first movie, that's okay because
Paul Scheer was apparently not important. And
Ving Rhames, they showed a flashback to when
he was using a motor in the first movie to kill
these piranhas and chopped off his leg. They
are there to get over their fear of the water.
because now it's not even piranhas anymore. It's
just fear of the water. And they have a good
little scene back and forth and everything like
that. Basically, Paul Scheer is pushing Ving
Rhames' wheelchair, and essentially Ving tells
him just to throw him into the water, just immerse
him in the water, because then he has to get
over his fear. He has to face it. It's like the
mom and the child. Just throw your kid in the
water, and he'll have to face his fear kind of
thing. And there's a little back and forth, because
then he... changes his mind he's like no don't
throw me in the water and paul's like oh i'm
gonna throw you in the water and like this woman
starts yelling at them no he doesn't want to
go in the water it's kind of a fun little back
and forth i think it's a good part of the movie
and i would pay for more of paul sheer and ving
rams kind of riffing with each other that was
actually kind of fun everything's going well
it's the opening day everybody's happy you know
and there's like david hasselhoff sightings there's
the regular people and everything like that and
maddie's walking around and then she starts to
hear something as she's walking around the water
park mind you that she's worried about these
piranhas getting in so she she's extra inquisitive
and she finds that chet has been drilling and
making his own water supply so he can avoid paying
for water basically a cheap little thing to steal
water from the lake to put into his water park
where he just doesn't have to go through the
government or anything like that and lo and behold
guess what finally starts getting pumped into
the water we first start to experience this when
this little kid basically is rushing to find
a lifeguard to get a band -aid because he got
bit by something so his mom tells him to find
a lifeguard and he goes to david hasselhoff and
asks for a Band -Aid. And basically David Hasselhoff
can't believe this kid doesn't know who he is.
But this little kid just happens to be named
David as well. So David Hasselhoff kind of takes
a little appreciation to the ginger kid. So he
gives him a Band -Aid and lets him on his way.
And then all of a sudden chaos breaks. The piranhas
start eating everybody. There's blood and people
running. hitting people and knocking them out
of the way and it's just a ton of chaos as everybody
tries to get out of the water. Maddie is trying
to help people and she also is getting to Chet
to say, close it down, close it down. Kyle grabs
her and drags her away and we learn that Kyle
is the douche that we know he is and finally
Maddie sees it as well. While all this is happening,
Paul and Ving are not in the water yet and Ving
being the hero that he is asks Paul for his legs.
Paul gives him these titanium legs, and he gets
in the water, and he starts to slow motion shoot
at the piranhas. And how is he shooting? Well,
he has attached guns to the sides of his titanium
legs and basically are taking the piranhas out
as much as he can. And it's all slow motion and
poof, poof, poof. I learned that these legs were
made in one day. And they look like it. I'm not
going to lie on that. But it is kind of just
a fun, goofy scene, especially if you like things
like Evil Dead and that kind of stuff. Hasselhoff
is sitting in his chair because he's just get
out of the water. Like he's just yelling at people,
get out of the water and you'll be fine. Get
out of the water. You'll be fine. And then he
hears David screaming. David went back into the
water and he just keeps looking at him. He's
just little ginger moron. Went back in the water.
Well, of course, it tugs at his heartstrings,
so he slow -motion Baywatch runs to save David,
who is in the lazy river, and saves him from
getting eaten by piranhas. Maddie gets away from
Kyle, and she gets to Chet and knees him straight
in the balls, which knocks him out. So he's out
of the picture for a little while. They come
up with the idea that they need to drain the
water from the pool because draining the water
will suck all the piranhas out and take them
back into Lake River, whatever it is. And so
then they can have all the water gone. All the
piranhas are gone with it. Everything like that.
So Maddie is trying to get people out of the
water, but also get to the pumps. And Barry helps
her and basically admits his love for Maddie.
And Matty apparently thought he was gay. And
it's all good at this point because they're going
to save the day. Big Dave, he runs past Barry
and he has a piranha up his ass, basically like
wiggling out of there, which Barry has to pull
out. Basically, this entire thing is happening
within the last like 15 minutes of the movie.
And it's just chaos because it's going from one
situation to the other. They have so many characters
that they have to address and everything like
that. So just addressing them. one at a time
like showing their little vignettes and everything
uh big dave is going to help barry after he helps
get the piranha off his ass to go to the drain
thing to use the big drainage thing and send
it the other way and then we go to chet and chet
has finally woken up from getting kneed in the
balls and he runs past a little girl who's next
to her dead mother he basically throws cash at
her and gets on a golf cart to try to drive away
The golf cart, he has to back up first, so he
runs over the curl he just threw cash at, and
then he drives. And you know how they have those
lines of flags on opening days and stuff like
that? Well, he drives through one of those, and
it cuts his head clear off. The head goes flying
into a naked stripper running away from the adults
-only pool. lands in her boobs and she kind of
like slow motion bops his head back and forth
so it kind of looks like he's getting motorboated
before he dies and she throws her head his head
on the ground so chet out of this movie he's
done maddie gets knocked into the water while
the pools are being drained and basically kyle
freaks out and just like runs away Because he
doesn't know how to help her and he doesn't want
to go in the water or anything like that. She's
getting pulled into the suction of the drain
and it's just holding her under. It's not like
she's going to get pulled through the drain,
but it's just holding her under. And so while
the water's draining, she's just stuck in there.
Barry, who we know can't swim, is like, I'm going
to save the day. Jumps in. He immediately regrets
it. And this was actually kind of funny because
most of these movies, you know, it's one of those
things where it's like, oh, they jump in. They're
going to save the day. It's going to be great.
Everything like that. And he immediately regrets
it. It's like, no, no, no, I need out of here.
So he gets out of here and we learn earlier in
the movie that he's really good with the trident
and like picking up trash with it. And so he
like throws a trident and hits the last piranha
that's going to try to eat Maddie. He also finds
a way to go back in and pull Maddie out and then
gives life -saving mouth -to -mouth. Or the first
kiss. I guess the second kiss, really. But, you
know, a kiss. Big kiss. Big Dave, who's gone
to the drainage room, is very upset that one
of these piranhas bit his ass. Nobody munches
on Big Dave's ass. So he starts pouring chlorine
into the tank and he drops his marijuana cigarette
in it, blowing up the remaining fish. I did see
something funny about this. Chlorine is not flammable
and normally it's in tablet form, not in a like
powder or watery thing that he did. Basically,
this explodes all of the fish. Barry and Maddie
are fine because they're out of the water, but
it's still like this big thing. But Barry's trident
was in the water and it got launched, like launched
straight up in the air. And you're wondering
what's going to happen. Well, it lands straight
through Kyle. Douche Kyle is also gone now. Everybody
gets their just desserts. It's kind of fun to
see all of the cannon fodder, all that get what
they deserve. And that's it. The water has been
drained. What was left of it. And the fish have
been killed for the most part, we think. Because
of the explosion created by Big Dave. Except
for it's not. One of the things we also had was
Christopher Lloyd said he has this theory that
these piranha evolve quickly and they're going
to soon be able to walk. And so one of the fish
that was not blown up starts to walk on the land
out of the water. And the little kid, David,
the ginger kid, is recording one walking on land.
And his mom's just like, get away from there,
David. Get away from there. And he's just like,
they're slow on land. It's fine. The piranha
jumps off and eats David's head clear off his
body. And Hasselhoff says, little ginger moron.
That's the end of the movie. Jokes about gingers,
boobs, piranhas. We have it all in this movie.
Piranha double D. Yeah, it's a ridiculous movie.
It was exactly everything I wanted, though. In
this movie. It's not like I'm sitting here going.
Oh this was Oscar worthy film. And everything
like that. No. But if you want something stupid.
To kind of like take the edge off or whatever.
This is a fun one. You can definitely find some
fun in this. It's a lot of skin. So obviously
it's rated R. So don't show it to kids. That
kind of thing. Where does it land on the rating
scale. For. I'll say the bad movies I've seen
on this podcast. I'll say it's definitely towards
the top of the bad movies I've seen. Just because
you can enjoy a lot of it. I'll say that. So
my fifth and sixth. The best movies that I've
watched for this podcast are Friday the 13th,
Jason Takes Manhattan, and Steel. And I would
say it's definitely along those lines. I'll probably
give it 7th on that list. Just because it's goofy
fun. And that's exactly what you want in this
movie. It's not going to change your life. It's
not going to be anything crazy. That's what it
is. I've seen much worse for this podcast. I've
seen much better for this podcast. But at the
end of the day, I think this is fun. And it's
exactly what you kind of want with it. None of
it is going to change your mind about movies.
None of it's going to be this huge thing that
you're so excited to watch over and over and
over again. But it's just fun. Once or twice,
you'll be happy to watch it. So I'm going to
put it seventh behind Steel, but above Santa
with Muscles. Another one that feels right in
that alley of Santa with muscles. It feels about
right. Rating for this, I would say... What do
I want to give this? Again, it's not a good movie
by any stretch of the imagination. But I would
say it's not awful. I'm going to give it a 1
.5. 3D pukes out of 5. That's probably the best
I can describe it. Again, fun movie. Something
I'm glad I watched once. I don't need to see
it again. But it's definitely something that
I was able to enjoy. And so, therefore, yeah.
It feels right. 1 .5 out of 5. Again, I know
that seems low, but again... This is supposed
to be a bad movie. So 1 .5 out of 5 is actually
pretty good for it. So yeah, that was Piranha
3DD. Yeah, we have some real shit coming up on
the podcast. If you did not know now on Rotten
Tomatoes, because that is usually how I do my
metric, is under 40 % on critics and audience
scores. If you did not know on the streaming
section, you can now categorize it or short it.
by rotten scores. So I have found, I'm not joking,
in the last two days, probably a good 40 movies
starring big names that qualify under those that
I just cannot wait to watch and tell you about.
We have some absolute trash coming your way soon.
So, yep. That was Piranha 3 Double D. That was
the Game for a Movie podcast. Thank you guys
very much for tuning in. I have been your host,
Mike. Thank you for listening to Game for a Movie
podcast where we ask, are you game for a movie?
We will see you next time and beware of the water.
You never know what could be lurking in there.
