Piraconda (2012)

Review by Bernie4444

Piraconda

6/10

Biting humor with explosive action.

Yes, this movie is all that the title implies. It is not a formula as in disaster movies where the husband is estranged and the snotty kid does not listen and puts everyone in danger. This is "there is a monster in the jungle" and no one believes it until they become Piranhaconda-chow.

We have scantily clothed woman Chow potential; however, it turns out that our nemesis is not picky as to which gender is the tastier.

You get plenty of chances to say "stay in the car." Also do not try to find out what is making that sound.

Basically, the theme is borrowed from Jurassic Park movies as Dr. Robert Lovegrove (Michael Madsen), with dollar signs in his eyes, pilfers a slimy egg from a creature that only a mother could love. All the action and interaction with movie makers, criminal types, and more are subject to mommy wanting her egg back. Will this happen? If so, will some cute girl(s) become collateral damage. Will there be car chases and gun play?

The movie was filmed in Kaua'i, Hawaii, USA but it looks like parts of Texas and California.

The title song is "Piranhaconda 1" Music, Lyrics and Performed by Jasmin Poncelet

However, a better song would be "Run Through the Jungle" by John Cameron Fogerty -

Whoa, I thought it was a nightmare Lord, it's all so true They told me "Don't go walkin' slow The Devil's on the loose" Better run through the jungle Better run through the jungle Better run through the jungle Whoa, don't look back to see ...

It is hard to rate this movie as it is dumb and campy as it was meant to be.
