Quentin Tarantino on Piranha

[@mrkeogh]

Tarantino's knowledge of movies is absolutely encyclopaedic.

[@Njbear7453]

Just watch a lot of movies and you’ll learn a lot

[@robbo03]

​@@Njbear7453 there's watching a lot of movies and then there's watching the amount of movies that Tarantino has watched haha

[@joemadden4160]

Her name is Heather MENZIES. Yeah. Encyclopedic.

[@robbo03]

[@EddieOrfield-y1i]

I remember seeing this movie as a kid. I will never forget the experience.

[@karl_alan]

Definitely in the top dozen or so animal attack movies i've seen. Really well done, especially for the budget

[@neilmiller6214]

I could listen to Tarantino talk about movies forever.

[@gregoryespinoza3572]

It's Heather Menzies, not Mendez. Sbe was married to Robert Urich. I wrote a retrospective article about Piranha for Famous Monsters Of Filmland.

[@joemadden4160]

Thanks Greg👍🏼

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

Yeah I was surprised Tarantino mispronounced that name

[@joemadden4160]

Loved her on Logan's Run...and her pictorials... I'm old.

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

@joemadden4160 Yeah I saw her on Logans Run myself years ago. Decent actress. So did you write for film magazines? You mentioned Famous Monsters of Filmland.

John Sayles wrote not one but two of the best Jaws knockoffs ever.

[@bobshark123]

Killerfish is the best of the genre

[@mrwillpowers]

I wish Tarantino would make a few low budget movies like this. Forget about legacy, having epic scope. Just have some fun with it.

[@Njbear7453]

Love Piranha and the guy from invasion of the body snatchers; the best scene is when the guy gets his feet eaten and they take him out of the water and it’s skeleton bones 😭😭😂😂

[@Allan-zb7mb]

Hehe..one can feel his overwhelming excitement. I agree, it's a genre masterpiece the more if you think of the production time and costs.

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

I saw Piranha years ago as a youngster. It was then a n d is now a fairly well made B movie thanks largely to the talents of writer John Sayles and Director Joe Dante. Whats nice about this commentary here is how Tarantino gets specfically into editing and even speculates as to the budget of the movie. Personally, I viewed Piranha as a superior knockoff of Jaws that worked because 1) it chose a multiple threat instead of a singular one. 2) It had a trio of protagonists that were different personality wise 3) The woodsy pastoral environment creates a vastly different locale. Almost isolated

[@richardthompson6366]

Great 70s fun, nice review.

[@dashingdreww1185]

I had no idea piranha 3d was a remake of this movie lolll

[@simpleguy4121]

Joe Dante made great send ups to the b monster movies of his youth only with a kind of seventies edginess.

[@dam00k]

“Cool like Hemingway” sounds like something my grandparents would say between griping about the Kaiser and mustard gas and bragging about repainting the Conestoga wagon their parents used to migrate to Minnesota. How old is Tarantino anyway?

[@barrybarnes96]

How much espresso did Tarantino drink before this interview...lol.

[@nyiniamako]

I totally disagree with Quentin. The way the piranhas get released into the river is THE BEST PART!

[@pepelemoko01]

2:48 Ηow many agains is that?

[@Levipaulsen]

Hmm, haven't even heard of this one. I have to admit it's weird to hear Tarantino invoke Eiseinstein.

[@Billy-bd2oe]

It's Burt Kreischer in that film =)

[@connycontainer9459]

The guy looks slightly like Jürgen Prochnow.

[@stephenvelez9710]

Jaws is better, I watch Piranha more❤

[@mauriziogiacomocolombo-sr3oe]

Every movie is the best for Q

[@poindextertunes]

Piranha is fun but Joe Dante’s masterpiece is The ‘Burbs 💯

[@leespiderpod]

I concur

[@Ilovetoots]

quentins voice is so sexy!

[@DrVonNostrand]

Ayo??

[@CliffhangerClub]

no one ever said

[@38calibercoffee]

Jaws?

[@jaimonjohn2516]

Terminator 2 is the greatest movie ever made not jaws

[@vidneypopples]

Thats funny.

[@samiam7342]

jaws is not even remotely one of the best movies ever made.........................a pool of water and a mechanical shark???????? a movie like the perfect storm or cast away is a billion times better than jaws.......

[@Mokkari77]

Jaws was shot in the ocean.

[@hellbenderdesign]

It sounds like you just went on the _Universal Studios Tour._ Jaws is a perfect movie.

[@vitorafmonteiro]

"What on God's holy name are you blabbering about?!"

[@danieljohn7788]

I beg to disagree w those examples sighted. Jaws is far superior to your examples, in my opinion.

[@poindextertunes]

Respectfully, I don’t think you understand the mood of the movie
