Probably as pathetic as the "sci-fi" years ago where they crossed a man with a shark.

"Its a joke Joyce".

Choice bits from the wikipedia entry:

"Reviewer Mary McNamara, writing for the Los Angeles Times, mentioned that the plot holes are "the whole point of movies like this" and that they are "fabulous in-home commentary. Often accompanied by the consumption of many alcoholic beverages."
A representative of the National Weather Service jokingly recommended what to do in case of a sharknado, saying: "As with any waterspout or tornado, the best advice is to be in an interior part of the lowest floor of a sturdy building—and not outside, whether sharks are raining down or not." Organizations such as the Red Cross of Oklahoma City also used the film as an opportunity to pass on storm safety information while others incorporated it into their own advertising."

That looks so bad I have to watch it.

It could even rival "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

To be fair, it can't be any worse than Pacific Rim.

Good one Andrew:
"fabulous in-home commentary. Often accompanied by the consumption of many alcoholic beverages."

At first I thought that the movie is too stupid to place in the elite category of bad movies. However I will copy the movie for just that type of viewing.

However in my sober state now, the movie lacks any credibility at all. I was not even about to dignify the movie by responding, until I read your post, Andrew. Thanks for that

Cheers

It just goes to show that if you want to make your name in the film world your film has to be exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.

No such thing as "bad" publicity.

There was a film called "Sand Sharks" on Telstra T-Box. Didn't watch it but from the trailer, it involved prehistoric sharks that swam in the sand eating college students during Spring break (and only the good looking ones)

Ah, another gem from " The Asylum". The same geniuses that bought us "Titanic 2" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f720MNvOeVc

I watched Titanic 2 from start to finish once.... the highlights were the iceberg being propelled by a supersonic tsunami, the concrete bunker engine room, the city skyline seen through the ship's porthole's which was supposedly in the middle of the Atlantic, and using a credit card to stem a bleeding patient's injury.... inside the ship's hospital room.

This is something you have to watch drunk to truly appreciate the ridiculousness. It's so awful that it is hilarious.

Anyone seen 'The Room'? Probably the best worst movie I have ever seen. Even better-worse than sand sharks or sharknado

Haha, that sounds more like cynical commentary on the US health care system than a story blunder.

Cheers

Hahahaha! This movie looks terrible. The CGI looks shocking as well.

Check out the trailer for this movie called 'The Room'. Easily the worst movie ever!

Yes, The Room certainly raised the bar on "So bad it's good" film.

Tommy Wiseau even does the MC honours at midnight screenings.
