Unlike many of the films we’re about to highlight this summer, “Paradise” has no cultural legacy. There’s no physical version of the film that’s readily available, and it’s currently unavailable on streaming platforms. The version I saw was a low resolution upload to YouTube. Searching for the movie will likely bring up all the other versions of “Paradise” mentioned earlier. If you were in the mood to watch something like this, you’d likely just go for “The Blue Lagoon.” It’s not even the most memorable nude scene with Cates, which imprints itself into the psyches of male Gen Xers later that summer with “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”
Over the course of the five movies in the Piranha series, there were a total of 16 nude scenes. This film was chosen because it was not a “3D” film in the sense of being three-dimensional; instead, the “D” in the title refers to a woman’s cup size. There is almost no plot, and the killer fish seem only incidental to the endless scenes of large-breasted women cavorting naked underwater at an island paradise. There are also several sex scenes as well as one gruesome scene where severed male genitals are seen floating in the water.
Star has said of this film: "I was only 17 when I did my nude scenes in 'Paradise'. They were serious and more difficult because they were not easily justified. But the topless scene in was funny, which made it easy".
