Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Piranha Part Two: The Spawning
PIRANHA PART TWO: THE SPAWNING is an italian-american production directed by James Cameron (Titanic) in 1981.

Anne Kimbrough is a diving teacher at an Elysean resort on a Caribbean island. When three divers are found horribly mutilated, she suspects fish are responsible for the killing to be piranhas. After an army bio-chemist tells her that a US navy ship sunk near the coast contained specimens of genetically altered piranhas which are able to fly and live in sea water, Anne tries to convince the resort manager to stop all water sport activities.
