No they didn't, oh yes they did! Sharknado - http://m.imdb.com/title/tt2724064/

If this is considered entertainment, I give up!

And then there's "Ghost Shark".

The Al Gore science behind Sharknado is real! If we don't start living in caves soon we could get munched while riding a bike or watering the garden.

I have to admit, I'm jealous of whoever thought up Sharknado. I have a big file of "Idiot Ideas" and I often have something similar to the silliest ideas of The Asylum and the like...but Sharknado, I'm afraid, was far too brilliantly stupid for me.

I think it's fantastic.

From those I have talked to who have had the pleasure of viewing it, it is apparently really entertaining. I for one want to watch it!... or part of it, anyway. I imagine it will be similar to when I watched The Room; I was really entertained for the first 20 minutes and then I just got angry at it.

I was waiting for a thread to pop up on this masterpiece.  I read some stuff on it and was in shock at the pics I saw.

Truly pathetic!

Haven't got Sy-Fy so will have to pick this one up elsewhere.  

Some of the Asylum films are unwatchable.  Some are great.

Is this better than Corman's Sharktopus?

Enough said! ;)



And how about in the sequel they wear these new shark deterrent wetsuits I read about.

Or am I not being logical and that's actually a ludicrous idea. ;D

I wonder if some of these actors know what kind of movie they are shooting since the CGI is thrown in later.  Imagine sitting at home, an actor, and you flick by your movie on TV and catch a glimpse of yourself in the scene with the terrible looking 3-headed shark or the mega croc-o-saurus......

Hopefully, that's a joke, as a $1 Million budget ain't crap.

Jeff, I could do a lot on a 1 million dollar budget.  :P

I'm not sure if this is true or not - but I'm holding onto the possibility for dear life! :)

I imagine they wouldn't work as a shark's vision is different above the water than it is below, much like ours.

I didn't realise Mia Farrow was still alive. I guess we can forgive her though. Her sister was the inspiration for one of the Beatle's finest songs: Dear Prudence.

It isn't a joke. A million dollars is a lot of money.

.. but they produced Sunday school musical or something for $7k -- which is still a sizeable sum, IMO.

Quoted from Grandma Bear
I watched this when it came out. It was bad, but it was actually pretty good too in a bad funny way. Have a drink or two and watch it. It's fun!  8)


May be an idea to watch it slightly intoxicated. Might be even funnier that way.

I'll drink to that.
