No "Sharknado 2, The Second One" Thread?

My husband is making me watch it, but it really is funny. They clearly went from the ‘we’re taking this seriously’ thing from the 1st one to just going the comedy route.

I like how the sharks apparently have some sort of hidden rotating saw blade hidden in their mouths that instantly decapitates anyone they come into contact with. :smiley:

I was curious so I did some reading on the NYC.gov site. It appears that there have been 9 tornadoes in the NYC area (none that hit Manhattan) in the last 30 years and none were stronger than an EF1, the 2nd lowest classification.

I wish Judd Hirsch was named “Alex” and not Ben.

It would have been funny to have some more classic NYC characters in the movie. Like George Costanza, and Mike/Gloria Stivic, etc.

No love for Richard Kind? Kurt Angle?

I did not know that baseball was played when snow is on the ground. Was that supposed to have been an exhibition game or something? It could snow in NYC as late as, what?, April?

HOW WERE THE METS PLAYING WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND? :confused:

It was snowing in July. It was part of the crazy weather system that caused the sharknado.

It was the shark winds causing it! The ones the weather lady was talking about.

Thanks. Clearly, I wasn’t paying very close attention. I had candies to crush! Because multitasking! :o

Yes, the city was receiving up to 2 inches of sharks per hour.

I was wondering why they were arguing about what dinner to have when they were already on the final approach to NY. Took me right out of the movie :slight_smile:
I’m a bit mystified that the sharks in the sharknado had to be subdued by makeshift weapons after the tornado was frozen(?) by the freon. I would have guessed that the only thing on the sharks’ agenda would have been falling to the ground from several hundred feet. But, I guess, like the pilots of the plane, they like to have a little snack before they land.

(Disclaimer: only reason I watched parts of this was that I’d left the TV tuned to the SYFY channel after Face Off. Which would actually have been an equally good name for this movie, given the number of messy decapitations.)

I was almost sure that when they were on the subway and there was some random guy strumming a guitar that he would start strumming a Sugar Ray song and Mark McGrath would have to tell him to knock it off they were trying to concentrate.

Didn’t see it so I’ll have to take it on faith that this was the stupidest moment in the movie.

Better than usual, apparently.

For some reason, we watched a little bit of this at the bar last night. Beer may have been involved.

One of my friends wondered why no-one had a shark-brella.

So they held a contest to name the sequel, and THIS was the snazzy title they settled on? As much as I’m pleased that they didn’t go for something completely overused – the temptation to pass on Sharknado 2: Electric Boogaloo must have been unbearable – this is pretty bland.

Jared the Subway guy and the FUBU guy from Shark Tank were nice touches.

Also, it was an early morning flight. :confused:

As soon as Tara Reid lost her hand, my wife and I started arguing about what attachment was going to go on there. Chainsaw? Rotating blades? Flame thrower?

We missed the beginning because *someone *was flipping thru other channels… we tuned in shortly before Wil Wheaton was eaten. I need to see the beginning sometime.

I am definitely tragically unhip - I only caught a few of the cameos. The rest were people I have never heard of. We could tell that the scene was supposed to be a cameo, but since we didn’t recognize the person in question, I guess we missed out on the humor. Oh well…

It still provided lots of laughs. It took stupid to a whole new level!

According to IMDB, Kari Wuhrer and Mark McGrath’s characters (Ian Ziering’s sister & BIL) were named Martin and Ellen Brody.

The most unbelievable moment for me was that anyone would pick Tara Reid over Vivica A. Fox.

Vivica looked rough. Tara was bad plastic surgery, but Vivica looks like she just said, I’m never going to do better than Will Smith, so I’m done.
