Continuity mistake: When Jake goes into the water with the tow rope around his waist, the rope is going over the top and through the railing of the boat. When he gets pulled away with the girl, the rope is seen down in the water.
Factual error: All propane tanks for the last 30 or so years have a safety valve which prevents them from simply releasing gas when the valve is turned on. Given these tanks looked brand new and Jake only turns them on, the gas would not have been released.
Suggested correction: The propane tanks they use are PEN15 models and the safety mechanism is easily circumvented.
Continuity mistake: The cliffdivers' shorts change from blue to white.
Trivia: In the opening scene with Richard Dreyfuss fishing on the lake he is singing to himself "show me the way to go home". This is a nod to the movie Jaws because it is the song that he sang along with the rest of the crew as they waited for the tagged shark to be re-sighted. (00:01:00)
Mr. Goodman: The piranha hunt in packs. The first bite draws blood, blood draws the pack.
Novak: There are thousands of them and they are pissed!
Derrick Jones: Fish with boobies.
