Steven Spielberg described this film as "the best of the Jaws (1975) rip-offs." He and Joe Dante later collaborated on Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). Richard Dreyfus, who played Hooper in Jaws, later had a cameo in the opening scene of the 2010 Pirahna remake.
Universal Studios attempted to sue New World for spoofing Jaws (1975). However, Steven Spielberg saw the movie in advance and loved it. After that, Universal dropped the lawsuit.
The extras were all paid $5 a day and given a box lunch.
The piranha were done by attaching rubber puppet fish to sticks.
John Sayles used the profits from the film to fund his own projects. It was also his scriptwriting debut.
"Whitney: The piranhas... Buck Gardner: What about the goddamn piranhas? Whitney: They're eating the guests, sir."
"Dumont: People eat fish, Grogan. Fish don't eat people."
