Piranhaconda

Quick Facts

Premise:

A low-budget horror mashup that asks the important question: what if a piranha and an anaconda had a radioactive love child? The result is a flying, fire-breathing, land-crawling hybrid monster that terrorizes a film crew and a group of kidnapped scientists on a tropical island.

Rib Hillis (playing the director, "Jack") and Terri Ivens (the lead actress) provide the screams and the running. But it is Madsen, armed with a flare gun and a scowl, who gives its cult heartbeat. Piranhaconda

One reason the film stands out is its casting. It stars Michael Madsen ( Reservoir Dogs , Kill Bill ) as a grizzled hunter. Seeing Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs being dragged into a river by a fire-breathing fish-snake is the kind of surreal spectacle that gives the film its charm. Iconic wrestler and actor Terry "Hulk" Hulk Hogan also appears, albeit briefly, which cemented the film's "so bad it's good" status. Quick Facts Premise: A low-budget horror mashup that
