‘Sharknado': 13 Most Ridiculous Moments in SyFy Franchise (Photos)
“Sharknado”
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.
“Sharknado 2: The Second One”
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.
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 after.
Ziering literally jumps the shark in the second film, skipping across the water on the backs of the sharks circling him.
He 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.
“Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!”
Ziering and President Marc Cuban are among a group in the third movie 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 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 her and her baby out with her chainsaw hand.
