I like how tornados are actually just boss fights in these movies
I once heard someone online describing sharknado by saying “the moment you hear the title you’ve seen it. It’s exactly what you’d expect” and that’s probably the best description of these films
The best part in the serious is when one character asks: "why would they put a retirement home next to an airport?" Everyone silently contemplates before one person perks up and says "because..... Old people can't hear?" They all nod and agree before the movie continues on as though that joke never existed
“Made with budget of a nostalgia critic skit” is honestly an amazing way of putting it
I really love Fin being seen as some in-universe Doomslayer entity against shark based weather
You ever wonder how terrifying it is to be a shark in this film series? Basically being flung from your home and forced to ride across a tornado that barely has any water without any knowledge of when it'll end before being flung out and possibly going out.
"The Opera House firing lasers at a tornado while Tony Hawk kick flips off the roof to unjam its shields" is the funniest string of words I have ever heard in my life 🤣🤣
I think the thing that separates the Sharknado franchise with other "so-bad-they're-good" movies is corporatized self-awareness. The creators of Plan 9 from Outer Space, The Room, Miami Connection, Samurai Cop, or Roar, money wasn't the focus because they genuinely wanted to create pieces of art and were just so incompetent that its endearing. The Asylum is a hack-fraud studio that actively cranks out purposefully low budget knock offs and "lol, wut, so random" movies as their business model. They just happened to stumble upon their one accidental success and couldn't let it go so they milked it until the cow died.
It’s very important to note, Thunder Levin never wanted to do these movies. Asylum begged him to do it. He said, “If I do, I’ll make them as ridiculous as possible.” And they said, “That’s the idea.” This is not a joke, that was a real conversation.
I’m surprised your wife stuck with watching these for so long. She truly is the one for you
OK, I cannot resist to share this bit of convoluted trivia. We have a TV show in Germany about the worst movies of all time. Of course they did Sharknado, they followed the series from the beginning. And they managed to get onto the set of Sharknado 3 by claiming to be a documentary crew. And that is why you can see two German TV stars climbing out of the rollercoaster in Sharknado 3. My favourite cameo, personally.
The fact that these movies have a more cohesive timeline than the Transformers is an accomplishment
“Fin’s dad was hasselhoff the entire time” is literally the funniest thing I’ve hear all week. Also this definitely means that the SpongeBob and sharknado universes are connected
i love how in these movies, when a 200lb shark is flying through the air towards you at 80 mph, killing it will render it less dangerous
Fun fact: the show Z Nation apparently takes place in this same universe. Meaning they saved the world from sharks only to doom it to zombies.
The sheer number of cameo celebrities who later turned out to be sex offenders in this series is absurd.
My headcannon is that the creators didn't make stuff up along the way and that this was carefully planned, each detail, each death, each shark cut in half was deliberately planned for years
Technically a large enough explosion would destroy a tornado. But then again, a large enough explosion will destroy anything. It's merely a question of how big it has to be. We've seen tornadoes survive explosions before so...
Personally I always though it was a shame they never evolved the concept. Why no Bearcano, Tigernami, Gatorcane, Wolfquake or Anacondalanche?
