One of my favorite B movies of all time. The underwater photography alone makes this film worth watching. Unlike many B movies, this one has a moral and a plot that it sticks with the entire time--it never loses the thread of narrative like most (bad) B movies. The characters are typical B movie, but watching them interact is more intriguing than in most B movies. I enjoy the time period and the lingo--Sid Haig has the best lines and plays a very convincing pimp (except when he blinks every time he shoots his gun). Some funny moments and some great cinematography at times. The best B movie laugh? "Cannibal fish!" Wait. Cannibal fish? You mean piranhas? I mean, cannibal fish would not be around long as a species, would they? In any case, if you like B movies and you find Leigh Christian to be the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, this is a must watch.
