Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)
The second in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Sharknado series. This sees our heroes from the first film, Fin and April as played by Fassbinder faves Ian Ziering and Tara Reid on a plane to New York as a second sharknado hits, downing the plane and plunging New York into the midst of not one but two huge sharknado's.
As with the first film there are cameo's galore from the likes of Tiffany Shepis and Perez Hilton (Hanna Schyguller must have been busy this time) and OTT set pieces involving twisters, flying sharks, chainsaws and best of all Reid with an angle grinder in place of her bitten off hand slicing swooping sharks into sushi. Surprisingly Vivica A Fox steals the show with her sassy world saving finale, although Ziering riding a shark through the sky like the chariot race in Ben Hur runs it a close second.
Sharknado 2: The Second One is ridiculous fast moving gory fun which...
... you know. I'm starting to think this isn't actually a Fassbinder film after all.
