I T'S a fine line. Or something like
that.
Apparently, in the realm of campy
TV programming, there's a subtle difference
between " so bad it's actually
sort of good" and " so bad that it's just
really bad."
And wherever that line is, the Sharknado
franchise
seems to have
crossed over it
on the way from
last summer's
Sharknado 2: The
Second One and
Sharknado 3: Oh
Hell No! , which
gnashes its way
into prime time
Wednesday at 8
p. m. on Space.
Where the
first two instalments in this ultralow-
budget, intentionally over- the- top
series generated cheeky giggles and
not- quite- amazed gasps with their
cartoonish gore, nonsensical storylines
and B- list celebrity cameos,
Sharknado 3 merely creates tedium
as it repeats the same gags within a
framework that somehow manages
to make - yes, it is possible - even
less sense than its amusingly mindless
predecessors.
Where the original Sharknado took
place in Los Angeles and the sequel
moved the sharks- from- the- sky
meteorological mayhem to New York,
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! begins its
assault in Washington, D. C. and then
spreads the fin- flashing fury across
the entire U. S. eastern seaboard of the
United States.
As the story begins, chainsawhappy
hero Finley ( Fin) Shepard ( Ian
Ziering) is in Washington to accept
a heroism award from the president
( played with surprising flair by Mark
Cuban), while pregnant wife April
Wexler ( Tara Reid) is with her mom
( Bo Derek) at an amusement park in
Florida.
Just as the formalities are ending in
D. C., Fin looks outside and notices a
cloud formation that makes him very
uncomfortable.
" These sharks, they have a scent,"
he tells a perplexed POTUS. " And it's
not a pretty one."
And before you can say, " Yes, this
does smell a bit fishy," hammerheads
and great whites are raining down
from the sky, smashing into national
monuments and biting bunches of very
important people ( played by extremely
unimportant pop- culture attentionseekers)
not very neatly in half.
Fin does what he does best, which is
blasting, bludgeoning, slicing and sawing
the airborne aquatic killers as fast
as they can fall. And when the finned
flurry subsides, it becomes clear that
Washington's sharknado is merely a
warning of a much larger storm that's
forming off the East Coast.
Fin begins a frantic effort to get
to Florida to be with April and their
unborn child; along the way, he enlists
the aid of old shark- battling pal Nova
Clarke ( Cassie Scerbo), who has, since
the original Sharknado , become something
of a warrior princess bent on
killing every shark she can find.
What happens next, in narrative
terms, couldn't possibly matter less;
shark attacks continue to occur with a
frequency and ferocity matched only
by the rapid- fire barrage of minor
celebrity drop- ins and NBC Universalrelated
product placements.
The ending, of course, is triumphant
and preposterous.
The lingering feeling, for those who
manage to stick with Sharknado 3
until the bitter and ever- so- bloody end,
will likely be that the franchise has
finally played itself out.
But before you get yourself to thinking
that Sharknado has jumped the...
well, you know, keep this in mind:
Sharknado 4 is already in the works.
And that means that this time next
summer, TV viewers will get a chance
to find out if there's an even- more- ridiculous
category that lies on the other
side of " so bad that it's just really bad."
