Not as good as the last one, but that one shot Tara Reid into space so not much is gonna top that for me. Although this one does come close with a scene that has Tara Reid, Gary Busey, and David Hasselhoff and everyone was just ACTING their eyes out. I watched this through Prime Watch Party with Rich and when I typed “Gary Busey” into the chat it autocorrected to “Gary Bussin” so I think I’m just going to start calling him that from now on. Would you even believe that Tara Reid as a bionic woman is exactly like Tara Reid as anything else? Love it. I’m pretty sure Ian Ziering’s pants get tighter with each sequel and that’s not a complaint. Also happy to report that this one continues the trend of cameos that aged terribly with Todd Chrisley and Stacey Dash. Round of applause for terrible choices!

Of course it would have a Star Wars crawl with a subtitle like that. Christine as herself, what a deep cut. Seth freakin Rollins, and Jedward makes a return for some reason. Gary Busey is… there. Only watching for the cameos at this point. The story is atrocious, the visual effects even more so. A freaking cownado and a firenado join the fray.

Corey Taylor, Gary Busey and Gilbert Gottfried At this point I’m just watching for the batshit cameos. “IT’S A COWNADO!”

‘It wouldn’t be Texas without a chainsaw massacre.’ I couldn’t have chosen any better world to live in. You wanna know why? Well, here’s why: In Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, which is incidentally one of the best movie titles ever, we are not only presented with Sharknadoes. After just five minutes of being into the movie, we have to discover a new threat, a so-called Sandnado. After colliding with a hotel that is filled with sharks (do not ask why that is), we get our usual Sharknado. This one, however, picks up stones from the Hoover Dam at a certain point and becomes a Bouldernado. This Bouldernado follows our heroes to Arizona, where it clashes with an oil field and…

“It’s a cow-nado!” 🐄🌪️ It’s crazier, feels bigger, and is more ridiculous. It’s honestly the best one since the first Sharknado. The franchise has just turned into something supernatural now, which makes it even more entertaining. I mean, the quality was still on the same level. It never tried to improve anyway. However, it’s the execution that worked better than the last two movies. It has some fun ideas and a few especially surprising moments. I’m not trying to say it’s a must-see. It’s still a bad movie, but it’s slightly better than the others and created some great “so bad, it’s good” vibes. The fact that Caroline Williams, the leading actress from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, was in…

My least favourite of the franchise so far. A few funny moments but I didn’t lose my marbles even once! Not many good deaths either. This one sucks.

A 5-year old kid. Uses the smallest chainsaw I’ve ever seen. To cut his family out of three sharks. And a whale. His dad is unconscious. And his wife decides to rub two small sharks. And use them as a defibrillator. This review is more logically written than the film itself.

“It hit an oil field, creating an oilnado. The oilnado exploded, creating a firenado. The firenado hit the electrical plant, creating a lightningnado …” Five years have passed since the last sharknado because the company Astro-X has been able to stabilize the weather. Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering), who’s raising his youngest son alone since his wife died, has arrived in Las Vegas to meet his older son, when another tornado suddenly hits the city, bringing sharks with it, and the Astro-X weather stabilization system fails for the first time … Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens is a disaster science fiction comedy film directed by Anthony C. Ferrante. It’s the 4th installment in the Sharknado film series, a sequel to Sharknado…

Holy Mother of God, now this is just insane! This is the worst but also the greatest cinema ever to exist. Sharknado just keeps evolving every few seconds 😩🪨⏳🔥🌋⚡️🐄🧊☢️🦈🌬️🌪️ And April turns into an Iron Lady with a lightsaber, and Fin got a chainsaw War Machine suit??! I guess that’s the power of FAMILY 🤷♂️ 0.5 and 5 stars at the same time, so I’ll rate it a 3, but it’s still as good/bad as the previous movies.

Forzando la máquina. Ahora los tornados son de fuego, de vacas, de todo, etc.. siguen los cameos y las parodias pero la formula está desgastada. Por muy locas que sean las escenas estamos saturados. Poca imaginación, chistes forzados…. Se perdió la gracia

wow everyone keeps getting kirkified by the sharks. this movie is so 2016, each one the cgi gets better and better. there are so many references to other works in this and it’s so inspiring. this saga of films is the best i’ve ever seen. but on a real analytical note this is such an example of characters becoming caricature of themselves. the first film was bad but now the quality keeps decreasing and erika gets stupider and fin gets…

I was quite literally mesmerized by this film. I feel like I know exactly what happened and nothing at all. Erika stole the show like always. But I feel like the sense of family really shined through in this one. I don’t think I will ever forget the Russian Nesting Doll of sharks getting opened one by one, relieving more members of the Shepard family. Truly mind blown and waiting in great anticipation for the next one

wish they voted for the wife to be dead because that would’ve been a better plot line than the robot one. the son being named Gil is the cherry on top because what??? also we completely forgot about the cousin so we just assumed that the husband got a new girlfriend after his wife died. plot lines were crazy honestly

Electronado ? Nukenado ? Yo who is giving this ideas ?? 😭😭 Definitivamente no te puedes encariñar con NINGUN personaje en esta saga. Son expertos en darle giros de 720° al guión puesto que la mujer revive (otra vez). No contentos con ello ahora es un terminator cyborg raro que vuela dispara fuego y puede generar campos magnéticos. Mi robot roomba aspiradora tambien puede hacer eso. El abuelo, la hija mayor y el hijo mayor son deborados PERO el chavalillo…

We zijn weer begonnen aan Shark Week, deze keer met opnieuw een Sharknado, namelijk Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens (2016). Het blijft ongelooflijk dat er zoveel films van deze franchise gemaakt zijn. En toch blijft elke film zichzelf opnieuw overtreffen in hoe onnozel en absurd hij kan worden. 🤣 Deze vierde film is misschien wel even absurd als alle vorige films samen. Totaal belachelijk, maar juist daardoor ook ontzettend hilarisch. Gewoon heerlijk verstand op nul en genieten van de complete waanzin. 🦈🤣

J’aimerai mettre 5 étoiles épisode IV… (bien sûr que j’ai kiffé ! Pour résumer Sharknado, c’est un peu le Sharkboy et Lavagirl de notre adolescence : le même genre de phénomène absurde et culte, mais dans une version poussée au second degré pour un public un peu plus grand, un peu plus « mature »… paye ta maturité)

PITTSBURGH MENTIONED 🦈‼️ the conflict here confused me. fin & co. hates astro for “messing with mother nature,” but in the previous 3 movies they literally fired bombs into the tornadoes?? the plot kind of feels like something a bunch of kindergarteners play during recess where each action is made up on the spot. “we have to use this chainsaw tractor to get closer” but we don’t actually get closer? gilbert gottfried in here was the funniest ever. vivvaaaaa, las vegas

I like this one the second most, first one is still in the lead for me. The scene where Fin throws the spinning wheel killling the 3 sharks was the most epic thing ever. .This movie in particular out of the franchise has the funniest one liners and characters too. I’m so confused on what the hell was happening most of the time but who cares I’m entertained. Alr guys blow up the Grand Canyon and make it more grand.…

“Sharknado : Le 4ème Réveil” en Français. Cinq ans après les événements de Washington, une tempête porteuse de requins tueurs est de retour à Las Vegas. Après avoir ravagé la ville, le Sharknado, cette fois accompagné de rochers, se déplace vers le Grand Canyon et frappe plusieurs états du centre des États-Unis sans façade maritime par une série de tornades continentales. Décidément je ne sais pas c’que les requins ont fait à Anthony C. Ferrante quand il était gamin mais…

SHARKNADO 4 – THE 4TH AWAKENS Kritik Review (2016): Sharknado 4 – The 4th Awakens setzt die völlig überdrehte Hai-Katastrophenreihe fort und bleibt seinem bewährten Konzept treu: absurde Ideen, fliegende Haie, Explosionen und möglichst viele Anspielungen auf bekannte Filme und Popkultur. Der vierte Teil versucht gar nicht erst, ernst genommen zu werden, sondern liefert bewusst trashige Unterhaltung. Das funktioniert phasenweise gut, erreicht aber nicht durchgehend den Charme der besten Teile der Reihe. Die größte Stärke des Films ist seine völlige…

They really looked at Sharknado and said, “You know what this movie needs? Flying cows.” 😭😭 COWNADO. Need more nados. And April really turned into the Terminator with a lightsaber. This franchise has reached to it’s peak there’s no way they can top this part😭

ФИЛЬМ ПРИКОЛЬНЫЙ!!! им хватило бюджета на новых акул: рыба меч, тигровая акула. «моя мама акула, а не робот» – сын фина. Вообще их сыночек меня очень сильно бесил. У тебя буквально отец несколько раз чуть не умирал, а ты все равно говоришь что ты большая кровожадная акула. Ещё мне понравилась идея с разными видами торнадо. Нефтенадо (жалко что оно было не в России.) Огненадо Корованадо Электронадо Радианадо. Но только коров жалко! Ещё есть вопрос к началу фильма. Как они держать…

The sharknado spawns in St.Louis, Kansas, and North Dakota, and even gains some new upgrades like the form of a sandnado, bouldernado, cownado, oilnado, firenado, and a nuclearnado. Yeah.

The “charm” wears off as time goes on. These friggen sharks. They won’t stop coming. Non stop news coverage. What really is starting to annoy me now is the references to better movies. Just do your own thing. Still a little fun. Mostly a grind.

3.75 out of 10 “Oilnado” This was by far the worst one in the franchise with a little bit of a Star Wars touch, and it almost seemed like it almost took out an X-Men wild touch as well. I couldn’t even tell what was going on there with the red stuff flying out of Tara Reid’s character. Truly so bad it was comical, I definitely laughed more than a few times. “Lavanado and hailnado.” Shark Week Marathon 2026 (Is over but hey 👋) Steelbook Blu Ray Collection Wife’s Rating- 4.0 out of 10 Cheers Up Cinema

I am not the same woman as I was when this marathon began. I have watched four Sharknado movies in one sitting. Have I descended into madness, or have I achieved enlightenment? The only reason we stopped here was because it was around 5am for one of the people in the call. We will be watching the final two soon. Funnily enough I’m willing to bet the original plan for this one was a Wizard of Oz pastiche before they shifted to try and spoof Star Wars a bit more (including with the title) in the wake of Force Awakens coming out.
