Piranha 3D

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.

Factual error: When Mr Goodman is telling Julie "no one release this piranha into the lake", he states that pygocentrus nattereri is "the original piranha, they used to swim the Colorado River right up until the Pleistocene epoch, I still don't know how you found one...alive!" The pygocentrus nattereri is a species of piranha native to South America, very common, not even on the endangered species list. (00:43:10)

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.

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)
