Sharknado (no spoilers please!)
Currently watching it. A film about deadly tornadoes which hit LA bringing thousands of sharks inland. Made for TV this year with Tara Reid in. It is shockingly bad but deliberately so and I can't stop watching it!
You won't believe the ending! It involves a chainsaw! Classic!!
Syfy channel commissioned a second film called Sharknado 2 : The Second One - name chosen by twitter followers. Watch it if you can.

Re: Sharknado
Just shows the power of twitter. Each time it was shown it got more viewers due to the chat and now being released in cinemas and tickets selling out. The best bad film I have seen for a whileMoist von Lipwig wrote:it 'premiered' a few weeks back. Its a piece of work alright

Re: Sharknado
top review on IMDB
Gloriously Incompetent and Gleefully Terrible. Absolutely nothing make sense. Physics and natural laws are ignored. Horrible CGI and cringe-worthy dialog. Outrageous continuity exceeded only by horrible color correction and clunky editing. The all together wooden acting no doubt achieved in single takes is sincere, earnest and fails on levels that should win awards.
And you can't stop watching.

Re: Sharknado
Not sure how anyone else is pronouncing this in their mind, but the end sound track sings it as Shark-nay-do - I was calling it Shark-nah-do.

Re: Sharknado
This is up there with the likes of Piranhaconda and mega shark vs crocosaurus.
Possible alternatives to the title of the sequel:
-- Sharknado 2: Winter Is Coming
-- Sharknado 2: Sharkz in the Hood
-- Sharknado 2: Revenge of the Sharks
-- Sharknado 2: The Sharks Strike Back
-- Sharknado 2: Sharks Take Manhattan
-- Sharknado 2: Escape From New York
-- Sharknado 2: Sharks and the City
-- Sharknado 2: Taking a Bite Out of the Big Apple
-- Sharknado 2: Outside the Shark Tank
-- Sharknado 2: Weekend at Sharky's
-- Sharknado 2: Lost in New York
-- 2 Shark 2 Nado
What was the other XXXnado film that was trailed at the same time this was on SciFi? From memory this other version made Sharknado seem quite realistic...

Re: Sharknado
yeah, thats going to be mega shark, of v crocosaurus and giant octopus fame. The latter is essentially a remake of one of the old Chewits adverts. Although to the best of my knowledge, mega shark has not eaten Barrow in Furness bus station.

Might have been some crocs unless I'm mixing up two movies.
The 'heroes' wanted to kill the shark by blowing it up but said they couldn't as it had swallowed the armed nuclear sub.
Next minute the blew it up anyway and the sub crew were seen cheering so I presume it was editorial license that saved the sub.

You must have missed a critical part of the plot (possibly whilst making a cup of tea?). These movies are normally pretty scientifically sound.Surprised wrote:The 'heroes' wanted to kill the shark by blowing it up but said they couldn't as it had swallowed the armed nuclear sub.

Re: Sharknado
Oh well. It is done now, but I honestly didn't relate Sharknado with Tornado. I do worry myself sometimes. Made a right tight of myself on the 18th green a couple of weeks and it cost me and my partner £10 each. The main thing to remember is, I won't hurt anyone.AKNel1 wrote:Jonathan wrote:Not sure how anyone else is pronouncing this in their mind, but the end sound track sings it as Shark-nay-do - I was calling it Shark-nah-do.
Shark-nay-doh like Tornado obviously
Now, off to book my holiday to Tornardo Alley.

Re: Sharknado
seems they might be right, google seems to think it takes a perfect implosion of the uranium from the explosives in the detonator to produce the fission in a warhead. An imperfect explosion would break the missiles not explode them and 'only' release the nuclear material akin to a dirty bomb.DrBunker wrote:You must have missed a critical part of the plot (possibly whilst making a cup of tea?).

Re: Sharknado
acceptable risk imo, anyone who signs up to the navy and doesn't expect being swallowed by a giant shark and possibly being blown up/exposed to radiation as a consequence is at best, naive.Surprised wrote:Moist von Lipwig wrote:seems they might be right, google seems to think it takes a perfect implosion of the uranium from the explosives in the detonator to produce the fission in a warhead.
