Together At Last: Sharks And Tornadoes Unite In 'Sharknado' Starring Tara Reid
"Sharknado" is the made-for-TV movie that apparently needs no explanation. SyFy's tagline for it? "Enough said."
Except that we do! How did those sharks get there and just how much damage can the ocean-dwelling creatures wreak on land (apparently quite a bit based on these bloody, bloody stills)? But asking any questions about plausibility is about as useful as inquiring into the nutritional content of KFC's Double Down sandwich. To be fair, Mindy Kaling warned us in her New Yorker article mocking Hollywood's brainless but profitable concepts. One of her best guesses for movies coming out of Hollywood was "Sharks vs. Volcanoes"
Tara Reid and another washed-up 1990's actor Ian Ziering co-star as ex-spouses who team up to investigate why sharks are falling from the sky and tearing into the flesh of any nearby victims. One of these sharknados even destroys the familiar sign of the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood (except for the part where it's flipped to say Hotel Roosevelt):
"Sharknado" premieres Thursday, July 11, but if this doesn't hit your shark sweet-spot, there are plenty of shark hybrids where that came from. SyFy will also be airing "2-Headed Shark Attack," "Shark Zone" and "Malibu Shark Attack," according to the Los Angeles Times.Here's the trailer from the SyFy channel below:
