Syfy has made an entire series by stringing together ridiculous moments, and the fourth installment, “Sharknado the 4th Awakens” premieres on Sunday
Cassie Scerbo gets the best/worst line of the first movie, and delivers it with the appropriate amount of overwrought emotion: “They took my grandfather, so I really hate sharks.”
At the movie’s climax, Scerbo falls out of a helicopter while fighting off a shark — into the mouth of a different shark.
Not to worry: Scerbo is rescued from the shark’s belly when Ziering dives chainsaw-first into its mouth and cuts them both out.
In a nod to the first movie, Ziering cuts a shark in half with his chainsaw, in slow motion, while standing on top of a car in 2014’s “Sharknado 2: The Second One.”
The tornado part of the Sharknado claims a life in the second movie when the Statue of Liberty’s head breaks off and crushes “Shark Tank’s” Daymond John.
Vivica A. Fox justifies her appearance in the “Sharknado 2” when she kills two sharks on the top of the Empire State Building using a sword. Too bad she’s sucked into the sharknado and eaten shortly afterward.
Ian Ziering takes it a step further when he uses a chain as a harness and rides a shark through the tornado, impaling it on the top of the Empire State Building.
Reid loses her hand in the second movie, but a surgeon (played by Billy Ray Cyrus) soon replaces it with a circular saw.
In the third movie, “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No,” Ziering and President Mark Cuban are among a group who impales a shark at the White House on a flag, mimicking the iconic photograph of the flag-planting in Iwo Jima during World War II.
George R. R. Martin‘s cameo in “Sharknado 3” ends in bloodshed when the “Game of Thrones” author is killed while watching a movie called “Shark Wedding.”
The sharks aren’t just a threat on earth in the third movie. When the heroes use a giant laser to break up the sharknado storm, a few sharks are launched into space.
Ziering’s weapon of choice against space sharks is a laser chainsaw.
“Sharknado 3” ends with Reid giving birth inside of a shark’s stomach and cutting herself and her baby out with her chainsaw hand.
