When The Science Fiction Channel started promoting its movie Sharknado last year, people were skeptical to say the least. However the made-for-tv disaster flick about a hurricane that floods Los Angeles with killer sharks and ultimately leads to a breakout of killer shark transporting tornadoes is so bad it was good. Below are a list of movies that would either be saved by or made even more awesome by the use of a sharknado or two.
The Star Wars Prequels were a huge disappointment to fans with lacking plots and the overuse of the most irritating character in the history of cinema: Jar Jar Binks. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine the cheers of joy that would erupt if a well-timed sharknado dropped down and a shark devoured Jar Jar Binks. The movies just improved epically with that one change. Other interesting considerations would be the use of the Force to control the sharknadoes. All hail the great Sharknado.
Known for psychological thrillers, M. Knight Shyamalan normally creates bone-chilling movies with a mind-blowing twist as seen in The Sixth Sense. However the M. Night Shyamalan film, The Happening, was a bit of a snore with the most boring movie villain in history: plants. It was so boring that even a solid cast with Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel couldn’t save it. Let’s face it: the movie would have been more interesting to watch if instead of plants releasing toxins that cause people to go crazy and kill themselves there was a country-wide sharknado outbreak. Those who don’t get eaten lose their sanity and kill themselves because it sounds better to die that way than by being ripped apart by a man-eating shark. Which version of the film would you rather watch?
While all ready a great movie, The Avengers would be even more unbelievably great with a sharknado. Imagine the climatic fight scene where Loki uses the Tesseract to open a wormhole that unleashes a Category 5 sharknado instead of releasing angry extraterrestrials. New York City would be toast unless Tony Stark could think of a brilliant way to save the city from becoming a giant chum bucket.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader just wasn’t as entertaining as the original two movies in the series. The plot dragged as the Dawn Treader made its way across the seas. Adding a little sharknado action would have certainly spiced things up a bit. Seeing Lucy, Edward, and the rest on board the Dawn Treader fight off a killer shark that landed on their boat might have made the journey more interesting.
Another already entertaining movie, X Men: Days of Future Past would be served well be a few strategically used sharknadoes. It would be highly useful to the X Men if Storm could conjure up a killer sharknado in the battle with the Senitels. Of course, being that the Senitels are robots, the man eating sharks probably wouldn’t be able to cause them too much damage but it could hold them off a bit longer while Kitty Pride sends Wolverine’s consciousness back to the 70s to change the world.
