    • Trivia
      When Colton (Steve Guttenberg), Chris (Patrick Renna), and Pirate Jack (Ralph Garman) are driving in the pirate car, Jack exclaimed, "Owwww. They took out The Blue Oyster. I love that place." This was a reference to the infamous gay bar found in the Police Academy films.

    More entertaining than expected.

    Yes, just as the title indicates, one shouldn't expect too much from this film. The script isn't great and the visual effects aren't mind-blowing, but then again, this is a TV movie. The only reason I decided to watch this, is because it is a 'Sharknado' spinoff (badly made films I enjoy very much!).

    The film features surprisingly good acting. It is also very well shot, and the visuals aren't the best, but not entirely cringe worthy either. You know what you're in for from the very beginning, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. This disaster creature feature delivers lots of action and even a few rather suspenseful scenes with youngsters being pursued by giant spiders.

    I loved the cameo by Ian Ziering, saying he has "shark problems". This just proves 'Sharknado' has become a cult classic. Steve Guttenberg - star of the 90's playing a has-been star of the 90's - leads the film, becoming the film's hero. If you don't take it too seriously, you will be entertained.

    Would I watch it again? Maybe.
