'Piranhaconda' TV movie review; promo artThe latest hybrid creature feature from Syfy, Piranhaconda, features as hapless victims who battle a monstrous anaconda/piranha hybrid in the Amazon looking jungle in Hawaii.  I think,  It stars Michael Madsen, Rachel Hunter, Shandi Finnessey and more in this bikini-peppered TV movie extravaganza.

And yes, it is definitely a busty-filled movie so that no matter how far fetched the plot may get, there is always a form of entertainment abound!  (The promo art says it all!  So to speak!)

Be warned, this is classic Syfy Saturday night original fare.

-

Piranhaconda starts out with some catchy 60′s beach-like movie theme song (A Roger Corman trademark these days), written specifically for the movie.   Prof. Lovegrove (Madsen) is in-transit in a helicopter to an island.  He’s escorting two folks deep into the jungle.  The Prof. warns them to stay on their toes.  The woman asks what’s wrong.  (My wife chimed in, “Your acting honey.”)

Lovegrove collects an extremely large egg and while doing that, his comrades are chomped in half by the Piranhaconda, leaving a red mist of blood in the air.  It then destroys the helicopter in a single bite.  Lovegrove sighs in defeat.
