Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014 TV Movie)
7/10
From a shark's belly to the Big Apple.
8 August 2014
Warning: Spoilers
It's another sharknado! Remember the highlight of Fin Shepard(Ian Ziering)using a chainsaw to rip his way out of a shark's belly in Los Angeles? Nothing I can remember is as ridiculous or cheesy this time around. Fin and his ex-wife April(Tara Reid) are New York bound, when the plane is attacked by swirling and diving sharks inside some bad weather. Fin, of course, is up to his hero thing again landing what is left of the plane. Now his chore will be to save the Big Apple from two sharknados ready to converge on Manhattan. Instead of the reunion with his wife and her family, Fin will be busy with his heroics...this time with the help of an old flame named Skye(Vivica A. Fox).

Iconic NYC attractions will be attacked by torpedo-like sharks; as they prove to be able to build up a good body count just by landing on their victims. Still, plenty of chomping as the blood and guts fly. And some entertaining methods of shark killing as you lose count of all the cameos featured: Kelly Osbourne, Robert Hays, Richard Kind, Al Roker, Matt Lauer, Michael Strahan, Billy Ray Cyrus and Kelly Ripa. Judd Hirsch plays a very helpful taxi driver and the Mayor of NYC is played by Robert Klein. Might as well line up writer Thunder Levin and director Anthony C. Ferrante for "atta boy" awards. I just don't know how much pride to expect for confessing to watching this. I do still feel a bit cheated by not getting to hear Mack The Knife by Bobby Darin.
