Standout Aspects

Visual Effects

Shark jumps a plane. No, really. That's in this movie.

Acting

Debbie Gibson's 'science face' deserves its own Netflix special.

Practical Effects

The 'submarine' set appears to be a closet with Christmas lights.

Best for:Friends: Invite your most sarcastic friends — roast mandatory.·Rewatch: Gets funnier every time you notice new disasters.·Background: Perfect for chores — you'll look up for the shark leaping scenes.
Heads up:Disturbing: The CGI may cause actual physical pain to visual effects artists.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The 'Mega Shark' later battles a Crocosaurus and a Mecha Shark in sequels. This is a cinematic universe, apparently.

Cultural

This film helped launch The Asylum's 'mockbuster' empire — Sharknado owes its entire existence to this beautiful disaster.
