Piranha 3D (2010)
20 Aug 2010 ● English ● 1 hr 31 mins
Lake Victoria's annual Spring party by 50,000 young revelers is about to turn into a feeding frenzy with prehistoric hunger-pains. With knee-trembler's above the waves and tremors below, released from their dormant sleep, thousands upon thousands of flesh-eating nippers are released into the lake with whetted appetites and razor-sharp teeth. With a motley crew of strangers thrown together to defend these shores, it is now up to them to prevent the largest eat-out in human, and piranha, history.

Revealing Mistakes
In the scene where Jake goes to rescue Kelly he opens the valves on 2 propane tanks releasing the gas in an attempt to ignite them. Propane tanks have an internal check valve that prevents this type of action and this could only be performed if the proper hose was connected, which was not.
Revealing Mistakes
In the scene where the paragliding girl is about to be attacked by the Piranhas there is a set of close up shots where you see her in the water up to the waist. To do this in paragliding, you need to boat to be moving. However, in the shots, you can clearly see that the actress is motionless.
Character Error
When the movie ends the expert says the fish have underdeveloped sex organs and these fish are babies. However a fish's sex organs are internal and he wouldn't know this without dissection or a CAT scan.
Continuity
While the early part of the movie, Laura, the protagonist's young sister steps on a shard of glass at a beach, it is seen to bleed into the water and attract a nearby piranha. At the end part of the movie when Laura and her brother are saved and pulled into a boat she sits with both her feet soles in full view of the camera and there is no wound.
Continuity
At the very start of the movie, the Sheriff (Elisabeth Shue) falls into the water while investigating the missing boater. Shortly after that she is seen wearing a completely dry uniform.
Continuity
The topless parasailing girl is seen in the movie(Gianna Michaels) briefly has her top back on while being attacked.
Continuity
In the scene where Jake saw the tube empty, he swam to it. Shortly, when he was back on the boat, he is completely dry, including his shorts.
Continuity
Some of the teenagers seen in the movie have blood on their bodies before they are attacked.
Continuity
