You know the drill, tell us what it is that you learned about really bizarre and high localized weather systems this time around?
I, for one, learned that a home on a high hill can become flooded and demolished without any of the homes or areas around it also becoming flooded and demolished.
I learned that sharks, which are fish and thus need to be in water to "breathe," can live for a pretty long time when outside of the water.
I learned that sharks swim remarkably well in about 2-foot deep water.
I learned that the ocean can... flood?!
I learned that leaping chainsaw first into a shark's mouth will in no way hurt a person in the shark's stomach.
I learned that acting ability (and lack thereof) is apparently genetic. As the son of Ian Ziering's and Tara Reid's characters is the worst actor in the movie.
I agree with you, and maybe more!
I learned that a movie called SharkNADO won't just have a tornado in it, but a hurricane and water spouts too. Sharkjustreallyanyswirlywindformation
I learned that the Rifftrax guys won't hesitate to Rip Tara Reid a new one.

And I learned it never stops being funny.
"Call, Matt." - Tara, honey, you're talking into your compact again.
"Look out gin, Tara's home!"
They were brutal towards her. And, dammit, I loved every minute of it.
:Tara's phone rings:
"TaraReedwhateveritisisI'lldoit!"
"Welcome to Taradise, bitches!"
I learned that there could actually be a srupider 'global waeming scenario' movie than Birdemic.

Though I lack a citation for this, I think this is actually true.

Yeah, the majority of shark attacks occur in shallow water.
But in water as deep as a the tires on a short school bus? (Which is literally like two feet) Especially when we're talking about fresh water and the sharks having the ability to gain enough momentum to leap out of the water and land on the top of cars and buses several feet high.
Sharks may attack in "shallow" water but such waters are usually "shallow" in the sense that they're "not ocean deep", but we'd still be talking about waters several, several feet deep and they mostly attack there because, well, that's where most people usually are.
Sorry, don't buy the sharks swimming and attacking people in waters as deep as a rather moderate flood at all.

Yeah, it is pretty rediculous on that front. Since the size of the sharks we see wouldn't, or would barely, be able to swim in water as shallow as we see.
It wouldn't be fresh water, because it's ocean water swept ashore by the storm.
You are right, the jumping is extremely ludicrous.
That's right the "ocean flooded." Which, however that works.
I learned you can hit a moving target, 400 ft in the air (seriously look at the helicopter's altimeter) with a handgun. Even better, he only tried the handgun after he realized the shotgun was out of shells.
Sharkicanes are very specific about what kind of marine life they'll pick up. You need a very delicate balance of 100% shark / 0% everything else in the ocean, for it to become a full fledged land based Sharknado. Now, if we were on the coast of Virginia (like I am), we'd most likely have a Jellyfishnado. I'm not sure if that would be better or worse.
Better than the Hagfishnado they get in the the Pacific Northwest.
I learned (both here and at the event) that the sharks are using the tornado for transport and not actually being carried by it. How did I learn this, you may ask? Because anytime a shark was shot, it dropped to the ground instead of continuing on a ballistic course. So the sharks themselves were generating the lift.
Apparently they were shooting the sharks' momentum.
I learned that Ian Ziering can have a hot bikini clad girl throwing herself at him, and he'll reject her in favor of... Tara Reid??
Worse still, said hot girl ends up with his idiot of a son instead.

Yeah none of that I understood either. Bikini-girl was hot, fun and full of energy. Why wouldn't you go for her, regardless of the age difference. She was throwing herself all over him and he's all, "Meh, no-thanks."
Then Tara Reid and her body that's just shy of being in that creepy "Bodies" exhibit that goes around showing the human anatomy using actual human bodies somehow turned into plastic is what gets him fired up?
Come on, Ian!
And her falling for his idiot son just plain came out of nowhere. I mean, yeah, good for him. a hot girl he's known for 10-minutes wants to boner-jump him. But, for me, it has to make sense.

I almost feel bad for finding this funny. Almost.
I wish that movies had more hot GUYS in them, and by hot, I mean in the sense I find hot: not short haired muscle pumped clones of one another. I actually thought Hippe Bus Driver was kind of darling, but the minute he started talking I knew he was fodder.
And getting hit by the Hollywood sign...well, these Sharknado flicks bleed into comedy a bit too much to be good riff fodder in my humble opinion. The sequel is, Gods help us, even worse in that regard.
They can't top the run-away ferris-wheel!
