All good franchises need to be considered a trilogy to be legit, or at least according to the teaser for SyFy’s Sharknado 3. The new Asylum made-for-TV B-movie is subtitled Oh Hell No!, because no one can believe that people still care about this.
The trailer only runs 20 seconds, but it’s all you need to see to know that the filmmakers behind it are hoping that it doesn’t end up another disappointing third chapter, like The Godfather Part III or Return of the Jedi. It has all the hallmarks of past Sharknado movies, complete with Ian Ziering wasting bullets by shooting them randomly in the air. Tara Reid also appears to be in danger and you can spot Mark Cuban as a gun-toting president.
This time, the Sharknado hits Washington D.C., hopefully when Congress is on vacation.
David Hasselhoff is finally appearing in the franchise and said in March that he was “so honored” to be welcomed to the family.
“I had so much fun making the movie,” the Hoff told the Huffington Post in March. “The people who make the movie have such a great sense of humor. They are the nicest people. Everybody is in on the joke and it is so much fun. I mean, I tell you, this thing is going to go on forever.”
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! premieres on July 22.
