"Cannibal Cheerleaders" actually sounds pretty good. A class trip where the students are stranded in the woods and the cheerleaders are banning together to eat the other students in order to survive. Could have a climactic battle at the end with the cheerleaders vs. the football players who are also resorting to cannibalism. Tag line could be "the student BODY is now a part of the diet".

Isaac Clorke I GOT THESE SCARS IN THE WAR, THE GREAT WAR, NoO!! THE GREAT GREAT WAR. I WAS A YOUNG PRIVATE BACK IN MY DAY, THE WAR HAD PROMISED TO MAKE US HEROES WHILE ALSO WARNING OF DANGER BUT I TOTALLY IGNORED THAT BECAUSE LOL. I HAD TWO COMERADES, TIMMY AND BOBERADEOUS. TIMMY'S REAL NAME WAS TIMOTHY JR BUT HE HAD A LARGE INFERIORITY COMPLEX SURROUNDING HIS FATHER TIMOTHY WHO WAS A GENERAL IN THE SLIGHTLY LESSER BUT STILL OKAY WAR, WHO CONSTANTLY COMPARED HIMSELF TO HIS SON, SO TIMOTHY JR. ASKED TO BE CALLED TIMMY. HE WAS COLD, BUT KIND AND WAS ALWAYS LOYAL TO THE VERY END, HE WAS A DEAR FRIEND. BOBERADEOUS WAS A JOYFUL, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, AND EXTROVERTED CONTRAST TO TIMMY. HE ALWAYS LOVED MAKING JOKES AND JUST MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY, HE DID HIS BEST FOR PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH, SOMETIMES THIS DID NOT LET HIS TRUE FEELINGS SHOW AND IT SEEMED LIKE HE DIDN'T TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY WHICH CAUSED HIM TO GET INTO A LOT OF ARGUMENTS DURING SERIOUS TIMES. BUT EVEN SO, HIS CHEERY PERSONALITY WAS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH, AND WAS A VERY DEAR FRIEND TO ME. THE SETTING OF MY SCARRING TOOK PLACE ON THE DAY OF JANUARY, X, 2XXX, I WAS FINISHING PATROLS ON MY AREA WITH TIMMY AND BOBERADEOUS WHEN THE AlaRMS SOUNDED. THERE WAS AN ATTACK! MY COMERADES AND I QUICKLY RUSHED TO OUR STATIONS AND FOUGHT BRAVELY. IT FELT AS IF HOURS WENT BY AS WE FIRED AND PRAYED. BUT, SOMEHOW THEY GOT PAST OUR DEFENSES AND WE WERE ATTACKED! WE FOUGHT WITH ROUGHLY 20 OTHERS TRYING TO DEFEND IT FROM THE SWARMING ENEMIES RUSHING THROUGH THE CRACK IN OUR STRONGHOLD, AND EVENTUALLY, it was just the three of us. we fought fiercely, doing our best to buy time before backup arrived then, boberadeous was shot. Timmy yelled "BOB NO!!!" Boberadeous then looked at Timmy and said "you must fight on, you have to come to terms with your father, I'm not joking this time." timmy replies through his sobs as i defend them in tears "but bob... I can't do this alone... you don't deserve to die not like this not here..." boberadeous smiles at him "katie will be there for you, and so will your mother both of the women will assist you." timmy then yells "BOB, YOU IDIOT I LOVE YOU! DON'T YOU SEE THAT?? THAT'S Precisely WHY I CAN'T LOSE YOU HERE!!" Boberadeous then touches his cheek as the life fades his eyes and I comfort timmy as he cries tears of sorrow and despair. it wasn't fair for boberadeous to die in such a way... its just not fair... I then say through my sobs "I'm sad too but... we can't give up, timmy" timmy stands up and says "you're right, lets tear'em a new one" We then attack with a new rage and desire to avenge our fallen friend. We continue our endless rampage as backup seems to still be missing. Then all of a sudden, in the heat of the moment, timmy is shot. I then drag him to where the enemy hasn't gone yet for shelter. I then break down "TIMMY NO! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO WORK THINGS OUT WITH YOUR FATHER..." Timmy looks at me "I think he would be proud of me, knowing his son died a hero." i smile through my tears and reply "y-yeah... he would" timmy then says "Catherine, im using your real name because i want you to listen I want you to survive this war for me, so you can go back to the man you love. Because i know Jacob is still alive. Go back to the man you love because the one I love... bob... he's dead... but I'll see him in heaven. and one day you'll join us with your lover and so forth, and my dad will join us and say 'timmy I'm proud of you'..." I smile and hug him as i sob heavily and i say "yeah he will" Timmy then dies in my arms as backup arrives. oh yeah the scar While exiting the base i tripped and cut my leg, that's how i earned the scar.

Tbh the Sharks were the real victims, they were just doing their daily routine of eat fish and don't stop moving. Then this fucking tornado comes out of nowhere and the try to swim away but to no avail. Also they need to be in water to survive, they're suffocating in there and more air is rushing into their gills. It's their natural urge to be predators but not to hunt PEOPLE, and they're landing from a large fall, suffocating on the ground, trying to get back to water but their being killed with chainsaws by some jackass who can't accept once a marriage is over he has no rights to control his ex-wife or even command her.

This movie takes logic and science and beats it to death with a metal baseball bat even power rangers a show were people breathe on the moon had more f**cking logic than this movie

[@mentaya11]

I suppose it would surprise you to know that a lot more of the science in here is accurate than most people realize. I'd estimate...half of it is possible and the other half is garbage? For example, animals, including fish, *have* rained from the sky due to bad storms, and things larger than sharks have been thrown about by tornadoes. Sharks *could* survive inside a water filled tornado. Hurricanes of sufficient force, while it is rare, *can* hit the California coastline. And multiple tornadoes *can* spin off of a large hurricane as shown in the movie. A sharknado in real life is totally possible. Cars *can* catch on fire pretty easily if they've been damaged and gas is leaking. I actually saw it happen from a car or two over once after a wreck at a stoplight. They do not, generally, explode that easily except in Hollywood. But come on, we've seen worse things overblown by cinema to make a cool explosion. If you pour gasoline into a pool like that, and drop fire in, yes, the water *will* in fact appear to burn as the gasoline, which floats on top of the water, burns. Gasoline does *not* typically explode like that unless confined. (and yes, I am aware of FAE's if anyone wants to bring those up) Blowing up a tornado...yeah, that one is nonsense. Nothing about that one makes sense. I'll give them credit, they did enough research to make it sound remotely plausible if a person only knew a tiny amount about tornadoes. They talked about warm and cold air mixing causing tornadoes (which is technically true, though it is a lot more complicated than that) and said that the bomb would mix the air causing the total to sort of...neutralize itself. suppose this could fool someone armed only with a dangerously small amount of knowledge on the subject. The truth is, that the warm and cold air is one of the factors that create the *systems* that spawn tornadoes. No explosion at the focus of that system is going to affect the real cause. The system itself will still be applying the forces that can create tornadoes. And all of *that* is completely meaningless since that applies to tornadoes caused by supercell systems and their ilk! These tornadoes were not. They were caused by the hurricane in the movie. Such tornadoes are caused by the turbulence of the massive hurricanes. So that whole point is utter nonsense. Yeah, a lot of the science in this movie is trash, but given how a lot of people seem to think *none* of it is valid...it might surprise you.

[@asherikamichaela8425]

@@mentaya11 Well, I have to disagree with you there. This move is about 99% bull, IMO. First off, shark behavior and biology. If there were a hurricane or tornado heading straight for them, they wouldn't all swim in perfectly straight lines along the surface where they're most likely to be picked up by said winds. Most would've gone deeper to escape the pull. Also, being a tornado, even one over the water isn't composed entirely of said water, which sharks need to breathe. They don't do well in open air, so all those images of snapping jaws flying every which way is so ridiculously inaccurate that it negates any cool factor it might have had. And while sharks are known for their appetite, they don't eat all the time as this movie tries to pound into our heads. I will agree that a tossing a bomb into a tornado would do jack to stop it, though. And yeah, there have been cases where animals have rained down, alive (prior to hitting the ground anyway) or dead, but if that were the case in this movie, where was all the other marine life that should've been sucked up at the same time? Fish, turtles, dolphins, what have you. Was there a shark convention going on just offshore when this all started? Sorry for the rant... 😅 This movie and all its sequels just really annoy me.

[@mentaya11]

@@asherikamichaela8425 Oh, no worries. (Sorry about the late response, but I didn’t have a computer there for a while). Ok, 1: would they dive? Maybe, but I doubt it. There are many, many cases of fish being caught in tornadoes. They could have dived, but they did not. My guess would be that they simply don’t know what to do in that situation. 2: Would they suffocate? It has actually been shown that sharks could reasonably be expected to survive in that situation. I am at work, so I can’t hunt down the article right now, but I can later if you care. I imagine it isn’t certain, but it’s apparently enough in some cases. 3: Most sharks are solitary animals, but a few, like hammerheads, live in groups. Would they suffocate? 4: Would they be attacking everything in sight? Of course not! If anything, they would be terrified. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t lash out, but they wouldn’t be hunting. 5: Where were all the other animals? I don’t know. Surely *some* others would be present, but that being said, in most of the stories of ‘animal rains’ the rains are hugely predominantly one species or group of organism. Spider rains, frog rains, fish rain, that kind of thing. It is entirely possible for a hurricane to 1: form over the pacific, 2: be large enough to pick up grown sharks and throw them around, 3: contain enough water for those sharks to plausibly breathe and 4: Spawn tornadoes that can throw those sharks onto land? Surprisingly, yes. It is plausible, though unlikely. There’s plenty of garbage in this, though, to be sure, and it is *not* a good movie.

[@asherikamichaela8425]

@@mentaya11 You're all good. 🙂 Hm. I'll have to look for that article. I hadn't heard of that one. I should think they would require a higher ratio of water to air, but maybe I'm wrong. As to the gathering of the sharks, that's true, although I think these were meant to be great whites (the classic movie shark since Jaws, of course) and those usually are solitary except on rare occasions. And the predominantly single-species "rains," as I recall, normally happen inland, hitting lakes and rivers which obviously have less biodiversity than the ocean. Still, it's something to think about and I'm always ready to learn something new. 😁

[@mentaya11]

@@asherikamichaela8425 Fair. Yeah, I think I saw it referenced in a Game Theory that was discussing this. That would be my first stop. I'd check for the title, then pull up the article from that. It's also entirely possible theres just more water in them that you'd think, too. There were *definitely* a lot of great whites (havn't *watched* this movie in its entirety, full disclosure) and I didn't *notice* hammerheads, but hey, great whites sell. You're right though, they are almost exclusively solitary, making it harder to scoop up a ton of them like that. And single species rains can certainly be over lakes or land, though that does not guarantee less species diversity, and they *do* happen over the ocean as well.. Still, just an interesting topic to me.

[@tmck4138]

23:21 *puts on smartass glasses* ACTUALLY.....the oil will float up to the top of the water( because the density of gasoline is less than water). Due to oil being non polar and water being a polar molecule, the oil will not mix with the water. If you set the pool on fire (as shown) it will cause the surface of the pool to light up. But there will be no explosion. (You can see this affect sometimes from oil spills.) And SchShow already proved that you can’t blow up a tornado but that’s common sense

Alex Hobart they're giant killing machines of the sea. Put a flailing of bleeding human in front of it and it'll eat them. Case closed.

[@Morgana__96]

Nathan Deaton Nope. There's actually scientific theories that sharks actually don't even like the taste of human beings. Most shark attacks stem from mistaken identity, where sharks mistake painted fingernails and toenails for fish scales, surf boards for the shapes of turtles or seals, etc. And the only way to find out if its food or not is to bite it. They can tell pretty quickly its not what they're looking for, which is why many shark attacks involve a single bite before the shark lets go. Sharks will usually only stoop to intentionally attacking and/or eating people if they're literally starving. So yeah, definitely not "cased closed".

[@gallopingdino7637]

Come on, guys! This is one of the best "so bad it's good" movies I've seen, but unlike most bad movies, "Sharknado" doesn't just happen to be silly and cheesy - it is accurately crafted to have these qualities. Everything from over dramatic acting to a house exploding with water for absolutely no reason and a plan to "equalize" a tornado with bomb explosions is there to emphasize the absurdity of the movie. It's a bit like Machete, only made by "Asylum", the guys who've been filming B-movies for years.

[@irenedougherty1085]

[@mentaya11]

It's not really as much hot and cold air mixing either. Hurricanes are formed by a low pressure area (hot) where the air moves in to fill the vacuum caused by the rising column of air. Thanks to the Coriolis effect the air bends to the right in the northern hemisphere or left in the southern as it moves in towards the center. Meanwhile, the rising moist air condenses into clouds as it rises rapidly high into the atmosphere. This causes the temperature to rise considerably thanks to the latent heat of vaporization of water. This increase in heat causes the low pressure system to intensify, further fueling this while process. Hurricanes require 3 things: heat, moist air, and the Coriolis effect to occur.
