I remember seeing this on British TV around about 1983 or 1984. The reason i mention this is because i had seen Jaws on British TV in the summer of 1981 (it was its premiere) and i remember wishing that i had seen it on the big screen. Jaws is my favourite film of all time.
Now back to Killer Fish. I was about seven or eight years old when i first saw this. There are only three things i remember about it.
1. Lee Majors gets a lot of Piranha bite wounds (im a little bit foggy on that one mind).
2. A fat guy who looks like John Candy tries to make an escape by rubber dinghy and gets torn to pieces.
3. And finally, i have always remembered Majors and the rest of the cast being adrift in a sinking cabin cruiser out on a lake somewhere. I always mind the boat sinking more or less the same way that The Orca vessel sunk in Jaws.
Turns out its another rip-off. But back in the early eighties in Scotland, some families were still unable to afford a VHS so the TV was what you had to make do with....
....as was these type of B Flicks!
