The film that started it all, Sharknado was filmed in just 18 days, and you can absolutely tell. The movie is sort of like Twister meets Jawsbut if it was written from memory by someone who only had a vague understanding of marine life, gravity, and the limitations of the human body. And that was all intentional; every cast and crew member in the p...
After the unimaginable success of the first film, Sharknado 2: The Second One had some exceptionally bad big shoes to fill. SyFy banked on the social media fervor of the first (a Twitter poll decided the hilariously deadpan title for the film) and the director really leaned into the camp. The second movie has more than 40 cameosand introduces cybor...
The third Sharknado, though still a ridiculous and bloody ride, doesn’t have that certain something that makes one and two so brilliant. The stakes may be higher than the sea level, but somehow Sharknado 3 never reaches the zenith of absurdity that the others balance on so well. The movie lulls about halfway through, but the finale will have you ro...
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens tries to return to its outlandish but glorious roots with some small amount of success. Though the movie has definitely bought into its own hype, sold its soul to commercial entities (there is so much shameless brand placement it’s honestly mind-boggling), and somehow made Gary Busey look like an Oscar-winning actor, it s...
Sharknado really jumps the shark in the penultimate film of the series, but it does it spectacularly. Portals, ancient magic, nuclear fallout, this film has everything.It was as if the writers threw anything and everything at the wall to see what would stick and the director said yes to all of it. It’s truly delightful in its absurdity and perfectl...
If you’ve stuck with the franchise this long then there probably isn’t much that needs to be said in order to sell this film. Does Sharknado: It’s About Time make sense? No. Does it bring something fresh to the series? Also no. But does it satisfactorily wrap up the series? That it does manage to do. There are so many cameos in this movie, it was a...
Sharknado: Feeding Frenzy
This documentary about the making of Sharknado details the full cultural impact of the ridiculous franchise. With news clips, trivia, cast interviews, and interviews with the director, it’s perfect for anyone who needs to know how the first movie transformed into a six-movie-long behemoth. It goes in-depth behind the scenes and talks about the struggle to find actors willing to participate in such a ludicrous franchise and the overwhelmingly positive response from viewers. Filmed just before...
The Lavantula
Okay, hear me out. This terrible SyFy original is loosely connected to the Sharknado franchise. Technically the first spin-off series, it tries to set a shared SyFy universe with Sharknado. Fin Shepherd may only make a momentary cameo in this movie, but his appearance confirms that before they were attacked by lava spiders, the citizens of Los Angeles, California had to contend with sharknados. Set somewhere between the third and fourth Sharknado movies, Fin bumps into Lavantula’s main charac...
Feb 11, 2022 · While essentially the same story as the first movie, Sharknado 2 has an added ingredient X. It's never stated overtly or explained away, but it becomes clear that there are just way too many aerial elasmobranchiic incursions to consign to mere coincidence. These damnable sharks want something.
Sharknado is a 2013 American made-for-television science fiction comedy disaster film directed by Anthony C. Ferrante. It tells about a waterspout that lifts sharks out of the ocean and deposits them in Los Angeles. It is the first installment in the Sharknado film series.
There are plenty of questionable CGI sharks (a distinct element that is replicated in every installment without fail) and even more questionable narrative choices, but "Sharknado" lives up to...
Sharknado: Directed by Anthony C. Ferrante. With Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, John Heard, Cassandra Scerbo. When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature's deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace.
