The original has hotter women


The remake has more nudity. Use this info however you like.

Barbara Steele is my favorite woman of the film. Although the film was good overall she didn't get anywhere near enough screentime.

Oh man, they definitely underused Barbara Steele. She had so much presence and seemed to be relishing her role. Really dug her character.

The original has hotter women... the remake has more nudity.


It's true; and I'll take the hotter women.

Piranha 1978 in general is just an all-around great movie.

You can’t go wrong with Barbara Steele. 😀

she's a dream

I always found her so creepy. Especially the way she says Piranha. 🤣🤣

Exactly!! 👍

I have to say that this version certainly does not have hotter men.

Haven’t seen the new in but this one does have those standard 70’s dudes throughout.

The new one just has more eye candy all around. In this one we have the alcoholic burnt out dad, the gross head of the summer camp, the weirdo scientist, and then Dick Miller, (who is a treasure, but not hot). I should say that I never have watched this version and thought about looks until this post.

Sounds like an interesting topic for other films too.

The new one is chock full of bimbos, the original has plenty of nice looking girl-next-doors. I prefer the latter.
