Sharknado 3 airs tonight (7/22)

Just a reminder that “Sharknado 3 - Oh, hell no!” airs tonight. Title aside, it appears that Will Smith is not appearing in it, but there’s a decent chance that Vice President Ann Coulter will be eaten by a shark.

Not that a spoiler is really needed for this, but:Other targets of this Sharknado are Daytona Raceway, Kennedy Space Center, and Universal Orlando Resort. Apparently David Hasselhoff saves the day.

All I’d like to know is why *Sharknado *took off in pop culture, but not any of the other hundred or so SyFy Channel mutant monster flicks.

It’s the spin they put on it.

You have to admit, they put a different twist on monster movies.

Are we expecting a typhoon of puns?

A Perfect Storm, yes.

Is there a SHARKNADO pregrame show?

I bought some Bugle crackers and Goldfish crackers to munch on.

SyFy is showing Sharknado TOS right now, to be followed by the II, leading up to tonight’s primetime extravaganza.

Sharknado II: The Wrath of Prawn

I was hoping for more. What am I going to watch when I eat Shark Fin Soup?

Sharknado The Musical:Porgy and Bass

I’d rather see a shark take one bite, vomit, and then flee in terror. :cool:

Ah, but the Syfy Channel has been having Sharknado week, and running a goodly number of horrible Shark-themed monster movies. Madame P. and I watched Mega Shark vs. Kolossus a few days ago, and we’ve recorded Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf to watch sometime when we have a real need to snark. We’ll be watching it tonight. Look for cameos by Penn & Teller, Bo Derek and maybe Daniel Radcliffe.

Never realized how much East Coast Mountians looked like West Coast Mountains. Lots of deserts.

They forgot to turn the film around.

Sharknado 4 is a go; where the fuck do they go from here? Zombie sharks that turn everyone they bite into a zombie shark? Finn get’s frozen and wakes of thousands of years later to find intelligent sharks are the dominant species with humans as slave-cattle? It’s really hard to top a bionic woman giving birth while plummeting from Earth orbit inside live shark. I can’t wait for next year’s RiffTrax Live. Also how the hell did Fin’s Dad end on the Moon? :confused:

One of the better offerings of the week actually ------- which doesn’t say much when you sit and thing about it.

S3 was OK but not as goodly bad as the first two. But any movie that starts with Washington DC being destroyed has at least that as a redeeming feature. :slight_smile:

They already did zombie sharks that turn the people they bite into zombies but they didn’t follow that part of the plot (or what passed for a plot) line that far. I believe it is simply called Zombie Sharks.

What say we? Does April live or die?

I’ll go with Die. Fin needs to hook up with Nova.

Okay, I got pulled away from the TV near the end. Were Fin and April in the same shark, or two separate sharks?

Amusing cultural references I noticed:

Lou Ferrigno as the VPs Secret Service guard, who told her “You don’t want to make me angry.”

The tour guide at Universal who told Claudia “If you need any more help at Universal Studios, just ask for Babs.” - don’t know if that was actually Babs from Animal House though.

President Mark Cuban’s Secret Service code name was Maverick.

The roller coaster attendant was named Bruce.

The license plate in the armored trailer was the exact same plate that Hooper pulled from the tiger shark’s belly.

The mechanical shark from the old Jaws ride at Universal was the backdrop for the scene with the teenagers in line for the Disaster ride.
