"Piranha not got enough twists and turns for you? Anaconda lacking the requisite bite? Well, why not have the best of both worlds? From Mike MacLean, the writer of Sharktopus (Jaws not tentacley enough... etc.), and with Hollywood exploitation legend Roger Corman behind it, comes Piranhaconda.  Somehow the movie passed us by when it aired on Syfy in June, but all 82 glorious minutes are coming to DVD on January 7, 2013. The film is directed by Jim Wynorski (Chopping Mall, Camel Spiders) and stars Quentin Tarantino&amp;#039;s Mr Blonde, Michael Madsen, fresh from Celebrity Big Brother.  Joining Madsen is Rachel Hunter (The Benchwarmers) and MacLean&amp;#039;s Sharktopus veteran Shandi Finnessey. Rounding out the cast is Rib Hillis, who you might have seen on Two and a Half Men and CSI Miami.  The plot is a simple one. Low-budget filmmakers are making the next chapter of a horror trilogy in Hawaii, and having all sorts of problems. &amp;quot;With investors dropping out like flies, a lead actress who is more concerned with drinking a cold Frappuccino than her performance, and a gang of kidnappers who are intent on capturing cast members and holding them for ransom, it&amp;#039;s safe to say that Head Chopper 3 just isn&amp;#039;t running as smoothly as desired,&amp;quot; producers said.  &amp;quot;Yet, an even bigger problem lurks precariously on the island that presents a much, MUCH bigger calamity than those surrounding the making of their amateur slasher movie...&amp;quot; Madsen plays hitch-hiking scientist Professor Lovegrove, who discovers a nest of eggs belonging to the thought-to-be mythical River Devil - a cross between a piranha and an anaconda.  Piranhaconda is obviously not the first monster crossover movie. Who can forget Sharknado - tagline: &amp;quot;Enough said!&amp;quot; Fan response: &amp;quot;The best shark tornado-based movie there is.&amp;quot; What mix-up movies would you like to see? Lemurricane? Meercatfish? TarANTula?... Come up with your best crossover creations in the space below!  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
