Comedy[edit]

Since when is this considered a comedy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.202.25.170 (talk) 03:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

David J. Hogan, in Dark Romance: Sexuality in the Horror Film‎: "Though an obvious imitator of Jaws (1975), Piranha is effective as both thriller and comedy." (Sugar Bear (talk) 02:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Who cares what Hulk Hogan thinks? He is not Roger Ebert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.150.18.209 (talk) 14:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

David J. Hogan has nothing to do with Hulk Hogan. Hint: Hulk Hogan's real name is Terry Gene Bollea. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

budget[edit]

Listening to the DVD commentary last night, producer Jon Davison says the budget was exactly $660,000. I believe he said $400,000 was put up by United Artists, $200,000 by Roger Corman (who was originally supposed to put up $400,000 but changed his mind), and $60,000 by a Japanese actress whose name I do not recall.

Any way to cite this direct, audible quote from the producer himself?203.185.242.56 (talk) 15:12, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't be an issue. I'd recommend the reference read along the lines of "Audio Commentary, Piranha DVD". If there's been more than one DVD release, including the year of the release would probably be a good idea as well, along with any other specific identifying information that comes to mind. See Godfellas for an example of an article that uses an audio commentary as a reference. Cheers! DonIago (talk) 15:28, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
