- 25TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineThe special effects are awful (the piranhas are obviously hand puppets) and the script worse.
- 25Miami HeraldCary DarlingMiami HeraldCary DarlingSound and image are consistently bad, and Piranha II is the first film in my experience to give screen credit (in opening and closing titles) to a man in charge of "special effects and prosthetics." It can't be an easy way to make a living.
- 20EmpireKim NewmanEmpireKim NewmanIt plays a lot like a Porky's holiday comedy for the first half, and then the seagoing killer fish learn to fly and big rubber toothy things terrorise the survivors.
- 20Time Out LondonTime Out LondonA copy rather than a sequel, this has none of the intelligence, wit or tempo that graced the first swarm of hungry fish.
