It’s the same old story, and we, the fan of B’s, know it very well. If you want to become famous, if you want to become an idol, you must produce a masterpiece or a very bad film. A really trashy movie, unwatchable but thanks to social become a viral phenomenon.
This story is know very well by Anthony C.Ferrante and even better by “SyFy” channel.
Brief summary of previous facts: last summer, almost exactly a year ago, "SyFy" broadcast, without ambitions "Sharknado" by Ferrante. There should be little or nothing on TV that night, and thanks to a tweet, and then to many re-tweet million people tune in to “SyFy”. They watch the movie. They comment very badly on Twitter. "Sharknado" becomes a social and viral phenomenon. The follow broadcasting on TV even have a growing audience.
The business and social dynamics or if you prefer the old saying "strike while the iron is hot" are not a secret for the TV channel of for the director and his staff.
In January 2014, in fact, begin filming "Sharknado 2: The Second One" who moved from Los Angeles to New York, for eighteen days of shooting, during one of the coldest winters in recent years. The story is set, however, in the summer the production has some technical problems and therefore they often shot with the technique of "guerrilla filmmaking" or if you prefer with the "it’s one-take!”
Adding a concept to what we said at the beginning, when one assumes the status of idol, albeit thanks to an incredible crap, he has the right but also the duty to do worse, be proud that he produced an horrible movie, winking to the audiences saying "Look at me and us, we are (proudly) all assholes"
That’s the point of "Sharknado 2: The Second One," its goal is to be very trashy, deliberately putting incredible and absurd scenes, melodrama, patriotic feelings. "Sharknado" was a serious attempt (failed) to make a mockbuster, this is a serious attempt to make a parody of the previous and maybe poke fun at people who love B Movies.
To strengthen this hypothesis there are endless cameos of famous US artists, whom we will see later, a large number of references (the movie "Airport" and the video game "Frog") and the opening scene.
Fin and April, the heroes, always played by Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, are flying to New York for the launch of the book "How To Survive a Sharknado." When they are landing, a storm hits the airplane. A storm of sharks of course, that pierces the plane kills some people in the cabin. But the plane lands, thanks to the skill of Fin, who almost beat the incredible performance of the pilot of "Snake on a Plane."
Nobody believes him but New York is going to be hit by the plague that has already hit Los Angeles. At the same time the sister of Fin and her family are visiting the city, shopping, visit the Statue of Liberty and go to a Mets game. The heroic Fin must save everyone while the beautiful April escapes from the hospital where she was hospitalized due to severe injuries that has caused a shark on the plane. He no longer has a hand.
Fin of the course doesn’t save only the relatives, but all the New Yorkers, who recognized his leadership and starts to fight the invasion under his orders. There is of course the electric saw, the symbol of this saga, which Fin uses to kill the flying sharks.
Between the subway and streets of the city flooded, (with a lot of products placement) famous monuments destroyed, the production use CGI, a little, we say a little better than the previous.
There are many "cult" scenes (apart the beginning, notable are those in the stadium and the ending with Fin flying over New York), for a movie that has attracted a large number of famous artists. Vivica A.Fox Mark McGrath, for example are between the protagonists, as well as Matt Lauer and Al Roker two anchormen of weather forecast for NBC, which from only playing a cameo became almost the narrators of the story with many news and updates about the storm, sealing their performance killing a shark in their TV studio.
Among the many others we see the mythical hero of the series "Airplane!" Robert Hays, who here is a pilot and Judd Hirsch another great actor famous for the series "Taxi" and for having won the Academy Award in 1980 as "Supporting Actor" for "Ordinary People, "which in this film is of course a taxi driver. Then the list continues with comedians, bloggers, musicians, wrestlers and also the vice president of "SyFy". All cheerfully in this bad movie.
Shot with a budget a little higher than the first movie, "Sharknado 2: The Second One" aired for the first time the 30th of July 2014 on "SyFy" and almost at the same time it was announced the third episode, which should be set out the United States. They say maybe in Europe, perhaps in Asia or Oceania or simply in an area even larger than New York and Los Angeles, which will be the place, they also say, of a huge sharkpocalypse.
