Revealing mistake: At the beginning when the teens break into the waste water plant and start swimming, the boy gets attacked then killed by the unseen piranha, and a large blood pool spills out into the water. The girl is but 3 feet away, but somehow doesn't' see the blood as she calls out his name and scolds him for not responding.

Trivia: Dick Miller plays the Mayor Buck Gardner, who serves much the same plot purpose as the Mayor Larry Vaughn in the first two JAWS films, in that he insists on keeping the beaches open and dismisses all danger signs. Dick Miller would go on to appear in every single movie ever directed by Joe Dante, right up until Miller's death in 2019.
