Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015, TV movie) - The wacky franchise's preliminary peak in terms of fun and entertainment value

♥♥♥

 

+ Most Ridiculous Movie of the Year

 

A ridiculously overstuffed tornado threatens the White House on the poster for Anthony C. Ferrante's Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!

Our hero Fin (Ian Ziering (Lava Storm (2008, TV movie) is getting honored by the US president in Washington, D.C., as a new sharknado looms. Then the journey goes to his family back in Florida, - and into space!

Sharknado 3 is definitely the best of the first three films in SyFy's TV movie franchise. - It is (naturally) still bad, but this time also heavily entertaining and downright funny pretty often. Mark Cuban (Entourage (2010-11)) is funny as the president; Lou Ferrigno (I Love You, Man (2009)) is another funny, new addition, - and then the movie takes us to such exciting locations as the Universal Orlando Resort, the Daytona 500 race and the ultimate exciting location: Space. Furthermore, it is funnier in its genre transgressions than its predecessors.
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! is, as the first two, written by Thunder Levin (Sharknado (2013)) and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante (Hansel & Gretel (2013, video). It is a totally outrageous, uncompromisingly crazy movie. - Not bad.

[Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! premiered July 22 on SyFy and runs 90 minutes. It was shot in Florida, - including at Universal Orlando Resort, - Washington, D.C., California, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and Sao Paolo, Brazil. An ad campaign was sparked upon the film's premiere in which audience tweets were to decide the fate of April (Tara Reid's recurring character) in the next film. The film clocked 2.8 mil. viewers, significantly down from the highly successful second film. Whether this rocks its commercial viability is tough to assess. Sharknado: The 4th Awakens (2016) is also a fact. Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! is rotten at 36 % with a 3.9 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]
