For this film, we go to Las Vegas. 'Sharknado 4' is the most ambitious entry in the series yet, with some daring stunts and visuals. While most of the visuals are still quite bad, some are actually bloody good. (Some visuals are done bad in such a funny way that they're excellent, and some are so cheaply done, they're highly effective!).
The film really surprised me with some incredible events. They pushed it to the limit on this one. There's not as much shark horror as before, and certainly more plot. There's a lot more action and adventure - and yes, even superhero action! I'm not sure I like April now being a superhero... The film is also getting more futuristic and technologically advanced.
You have to admire the series for its clever satire. We have Steve Guttenberg talking about a spider infestation (Lavalantula). They talk about "following the yellow brick road" (The Wizard of Oz). And "It wouldn't be Texas without a chainsaw massacre." (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, obviously). Then there's the vintage car called Christine. Also, look for clever reference to 'Baywatch', 'Pinocchio', 'Star Wars', 'Star Trek', 'Iron Man', 'Twister', 'The Sword in the Stone', 'Jaws', and many more. This is stuff cult classics are made of. I'm officially a fan of this series.
Screen legends Gary Busey and David Hasselhoff also make appearances. Off course, Ian Ziering is back with his famous chainsaw, and sexy as ever! He is looking mighty fine in those tight white pants...
Just like 'Sharknado 3', the ending reaches absurdity. In general, this was an exciting addition to the franchise... if you don't take it seriously. Then again, this entire series is not to be taken seriously.
Would I watch it again? Probably, yes.
