a5c7b9f00b When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature's deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace. While I give this one star, I strongly encourage everyone to see this movie. Not because it is good or has a single redeeming factor, but because if Ed Wood set out intentionally with an unlimited budget to make the worst movie ever, he could not have made something this bad.<br/><br/>The law of large numbers would seem to imply that in 86 minutes you'd have to get something right by accident, and yet this movie doesn't. A second look at Alien Apocalypse (which admittedly requires a masochistic nature to undertake) at least reveals passable cinematography and consistent lighting. And yet Sharknado rises above mathematics to give us a film that is bad in every single possible way.<br/><br/>Continuity is shrugged off completely. The same scene moves from daylight to dusk, rain to sunshine, storm surge to quiet beach, with every single new camera angle. It is so blatantly bad you are distracted from the more subtle inconsistencies like objects moving around, attire, wind, or quality of film from one cut to the next.<br/><br/>If you manage to close your eyes you are immediately taken in by the sound. How the sound editor managed to get to work on what had to be an acid-enhanced bender of epic proportions to warrant these results is beyond me. I'm reluctant to suggest using your stereo's sound-leveling technology for fear your sound system will simply melt from the strain.<br/><br/>One is almost loath to point a finger at suspension of disbelief when it comes to a movie whose premise is sharks in tornadoes, but whatever level you plan to come in with is almost surely going to fall far short. This movie has more WTF moments in 86 minutes than Lost could pull off in 86 seasons. And everyone gets to play, not just those with a working knowledge of wind shear or the physics that keep a helicopter in the air. If you've played pool, fished, surfed, driven a car in water deeper than two inches, been exposed to gravity, or otherwise in any way have interacted with or gained some understanding of the world around you, this movie has something for you to go "wha!?!" about.<br/><br/>And while you would think that once you had bad special effects, bad editing, and bad sound strung together you'd get at least one Bruce Campbell out of the cast to latch on to. Not so here, as every actor turned in a performance that shows they were more confused than the viewer about what was happening. We could guess it was because they were given the script out of order, but as a viewer of the final product I'm not sure I've seen the scenes in order, they are that disjointed.<br/><br/>I've tried very hard to find something that was done well or noteworthy about this movie and the only thing I can come up with is that it is the only movie I have ever seen that has failed on absolutely every level. If you tried to make a movie this bad you would inadvertently get something right purely on accident. And that is its one bright, shining point of light. That it would be almost impossible to make something this terrible ever again. The scene where Fin cuts his way out of a 20,000 lb flying great white and then reaches back in to pull out the girl who was eaten in midair after falling out of a helicopter trying to throw a propane bottle into an F5 tornado had me laughing so hard the room turned black. It was the defining moment of the show. I'm supposed to write ten lines of text for this review, but I don't even think the script for the show was that long. I had to give it 7 out of ten because it was so bad it was good, then it swung to just being bad, but backed up to being so bad it was good again. My family bought snacks, beer and soda to watch this show. We laughed and groaned and made fun of it the whole way through. When Hurricane David moves up the Mexican coast toward southern California, it brings with it massive waves, torrential rains, and a huge influx of man-eating sharks. Santa Monica Pier restaurant owner, surfing legend Finley "Fin" Shepard (<a href="/name/nm0005575/">Ian Ziering</a>), fearing for the safety of his estranged wife April (<a href="/name/nm0005346/">Tara Reid</a>) and daughter Candice (<a href="/name/nm0434840/">Heather Jocelyn Blair</a>), tries to make it to their house in Beverly Hills. Accompanied by his Tasmanian friend Baz Hogan (<a href="/name/nm0799778/">Jason Simmons</a>), waitress Nova Clarke (<a href="/name/nm2628561/">Cassandra Scerbo</a>), and steady bar customer George (<a href="/name/nm0001334/">John Heard</a>) (and George's bar stool), the four of them brave floods that bring sharks up through the sewers and waterspouts (tornadoes over the ocean) that rain sharks from the sky. Sharknado is a made-for-television disaster film based on a screenplay by Thunder Levin. It was followed by <a href="/title/tt3062074/">Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)</a> (2014), <a href="/title/tt3899796/">Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015)</a> (2015), <a href="/title/tt4831420/">Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens (2016)</a> (2016), and <a href="/title/tt6298780/">Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017)</a> (2017). Yes, there are several scenes that seem to pay homage to the mother of all shark movies, <a href="/title/tt0073195/">Jaws (1975)</a> (1975). For example, when the crowds are scrambling to get off the Santa Monica Pier, there is a scene where Baz shoves an oxygen tank down a shark's mouth and Fin blows it up with gunshot, similar to a scene in Jaws. In another scene, Nova compares scars with Fin's son Matt (<a href="/name/nm1778468/">Charles Hittinger</a>) in a manner reminiscent of Quint (<a href="/name/nm0001727/">Robert Shaw</a>) and Hooper (<a href="/name/nm0000377/">Richard Dreyfuss</a>) on the Orca one-upping each other with their scars. This is followed by Nova's explanation of how she got the scar and why she is afraid of sharks. She ends by saying "Six people went into the water and one little girl came out. The sharks took the rest." just like Quint's description of the Indianapolis. Finally, toward the end of the movie, when Matt and Nova are flying over the waterspouts in a helicopter, Nova exclaims, "We're gonna need a bigger chopper" (Jaws: "You're gonna need a bigger boat"). Matt and Nova's attempt to drop bombs into the tornadoes, on the idea that the bombs will kill the sharks and also equalize the mixture of warm and cold air that created the waterspouts, proves successful on the first two of the three tornadoes. While Fin shoots the sharks as they fall from the sky, Matt and Nova go after the third and largest tornado, but the bomb doesn't land right and Nova falls out of the chopper. On the way down, she is gulped up by a large shark. On the ground, Fin drives the bomb-laden Humvee into the third tornado, jumping out just as the Humvee drives into it. The explosion neutralizes the tornado, but Fin is swallowed by a great white as the sharks begin to fall from the sky. Fortunately, Fin was carrying a chainsaw and, moments later, he is able to saw himself out of the shark's belly. He reaches back in and pulls out a blood-covered but still alive Nova. In the final scene, Matt asks Nova about her real name, and she replies, "Jenny Lynn." April kisses Fin, and the four of them turn to look over the shark-covered tarmac. No. Waterspouts and hurricanes have, however, deposited many smaller animals, like frogs and fish, in populated areas. See here.
