Shaknado (2013)

"It's time to leave Kansas, mate." Baz Hogan

This film (can I even call it a film?) is hilarious for all of the wrong reasons. Let's first accept the science that says that we can have live sharks sucked up into the atmosphere (and stay alive) only to rain down on the surrounding area. Let's also assume that the sharks can stay alive while swirling around in a tornado. Accepting this ridiculousness makes the rest of the pseudo-science seem even more insane than it did at first. That being said, this is a good thing to put on if you really want to yell at your television and laugh at poor writing and impossible circumstances. Unfortunately, they're making two more. I can understand the desire for more ridiculous shark themed horror films, since they're silly and funny and great to laugh at. But why do they need to be Sharknado sequels specifically? We've already got Sharktopus. Why not make a new Shark crossover movie? This wasn't really entertaining enough to justify wasting money on two more.
