i guess my biggest mistake was to watch this remake of 95 piranha back to back with joe dante 78 original. i did the same last week with the omen. curiously enough and watching the remake right after the 76 original and really made me appreciate the 2006 version quite a bit for various reasons. but this approach sort of backfired on the 95 piranha version. it enhanced the fact that it really is a lesser picture. basically and the 95 version is more or less the exact same film and as it tells the same story and follows it practically scene by scene (only barabara steele character and the military intervention were written out of it). but the cinematography wasn not as good. the acting was worse too. especially alexandra paul (playing heather menzies character) showed me again what a horrible actress she is. bradford dillman (from the 78 version) had his charlton heston way of acting going and which was amusing and while in the 95 version william katt does a good job at being william katt. so i do not mind him and really. but the whole cast is pretty much inferior and the only worthwhile event was spotting james karen (return of the living dead and parts 1 and 2) in a cameo. john carl buechler make up effects aren not as neat as rob bottin . the musical score had some ring to it and but pino donaggio score was much more memorable in the original. so all these shortcomings really shone through with having just re watched the original as part of this double bill. since scott p. levy remake does follow dante original and i guess it is entertaining enough to sit through and though it lacking the wit dante original had. but what really made me not like levy version very much and is the fact that quite a bit of stock footage from the first film was re used during the piranha attack scenes. i never like it when filmmakers do this (and i am not talking about using footage for flashbacks or other valid reasons). i mean and if you do not have the budget (or imagination) to come up with newly shot material and then for pete sake and do not do a frickin remake. but roger corman produced this (cheaper) remake and so i guess i shouldn not be all that surprised about the re use of footage. if you do decide to watch piranha and then make sure it been a while since you have seen the original. you might enjoy this remake a little more then. and oh yes and that cool little stop motion creature from the original is nowhere to be found in this film and as to be expected. but what worse and there also isn not any female nudity in this one (the original really had quite some titty shots going for it and and that blonde girl from the opening scene even accidentally pulled her underwear a bit down too far when removing her jeans. ). figures and as this 95 version was made for tv.
