The U.S. government, eager to protect the nation's avacado supplies, recruits feminist professor Margo Hunt to make contact with the Piranha Women, an all-female tribe who believe men are only good as a source of food. Accompanying Dr. Hunt on her trip are Jim, a guide of questionable competence, and Bunny, a student of unquestionable incompetence.
Acting
Bill Maher somehow keeping a straight face through every scene.
Costume
Bikini-clad academics and piranha-themed tribal wear.
Writing
Dialogue that thinks it's smarter than it is—and that's the point.
Director
J.F. Lawton
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director J.F. Lawton later wrote Pretty Woman and Under Siege—this was his $1 million student film, basically.
The film savages second-wave feminism, academic theory, and '80s action tropes with equal contempt—nobody walks away clean.
