    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 5 mins) Robert Hays played a pilot in the beginning and said he has "been through worse" flying through a storm. This was a reference to him flying in Airplane! (1980) and Airplane II: The Sequel (1982).
    • Goofs
      (at around 15 mins) It is only reported that there are only several injuries from the plane crash in the beginning when due to the loss of the pilots and the loss of part of the fuselage wall there were also at least four fatalities.
    • Quotes

      Fin Shepard: I know you're scared. I'm scared too. They're sharks. They're scary. No one wants to get eaten. But I've been eaten. And I'm here to tell you it takes a lot more than to bring a good man down. A lot more that to bring a New Yorker down.

      [cuts a falling shark in half with the chainsaw]

      Fin Shepard: Let's go show them what it means to be a hero. Let's go show them what it means to be a New Yorker! Let's go kill some sharks!

    • Crazy credits
      There is a small scene after the credits where Robert Hays' character says to Fin "Good luck we are all counting on you" in reference to one of the most famous lines from "Airplane!" (1980) in which Hays had the lead role.
    • Alternate versions
      A slightly extended cut of the film can be found on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of the film.

    Tornadoes and sharks and cameos, oh my!
    Caution: Falling sharks alert. Get out your buzz saws, or Kelly Rippa's high heels.

    Once again, sharks have hitch-hiked along with tornadoes in order to dive bomb victims from the sky during a perfect sharkstorm. Our finny friends have flown 3,000 miles east of LA to hammer a bunch of cameo appearance stars in New York. Speaking of flying, we open with the finest Sharks-On-a-Plane sequence ever filmed.

    The Weather channel's shark funnel graphics of sharks spinning around and the "War on Sharks" bit are comic genius. Shark density reports such as "sharks are falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour," so you will not be caught off guard. Unless, of course, you stay outside, where all the sharks are flying around, which seems to be what everybody in this movie does.

    SyFy has been the biggest master of camp and cheese on cable, and they readily admit it with self-mockery such as this. It shows a lot of humorous imagination, and the many celebrities in cameos take a good turn at poking fun at themselves.

    Whether you like this or not will depend upon whether the approach of psychotic silliness hits your funny bone or not. If you do like that style of humor, then I recommend it wholeheartedly.
