| Sharknado Film Series Ranked
My ranking of the 5 Sharknado films. | | 1 |  | Sharks!
Holy Rip!
Sharknado
Much like similar early Syfy classics, Sharknado was the peak of the series. It was an innocent time when Syfy movies were still unpopular, they didn't make money, and they were genuinely bad. The best part of this movie is how it genuinely feels as if they were trying to make a good movie, but had they budget and minds of you and your middle/high school friends in a backyard. And how could you ever top the ending scene of Fin diving into the shark, chainsaw blazing? | | 2 |  | Shark Attack
Blood In The Water
Sharknado 5: The Global Swarming
A surprising late series comeback takes the second spot. At this point in the series, all innocence had been lost. Celebrity guests were in, there was a cult following, and everything pointed towards a cheesy and insincere cash grab, but, instead of following this route, Syfy writers got smart. Instead of just playing to their audience, they decided to make a statement: a statement about the ridiculousness of the concept of major blockbusters as "serious" films. Here they rewards their fans with clever insults at the intelligence of mainstream movie viewers, and in a way, get back their innocence with a feel that they really were having fun with this one. | | 3 |  | Great White
Great White
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!
In some ways, this was the peak of the Sharknado series and very well could be interchanged with Sharknado 5. The creativity of the ridiculousness for the plot was unrivaled in this installment. *Spoiler Alert* There were freaking sharks in space. Every time you think they cannot top themselves, they go and do it again through the entire movie with an effective buildup. They only drawbacks here are the moments where they do play to fans too much and become cheesy. | | 4 |  | Sharks Keep Moving
Sharks Keep Moving
Sharknado 2: Another One
The first major gap in quality comes at the fourth rank. Similar to Sharknado 3, Sharknado 2 has the same drawbacks, only there is much less of a ceiling. They step up the bar in how ridiculous the plot gets, and there are unnatural scenes of human feats so unrealistic they draw a good laugh, but they just didn't change enough from the first movie to stand out. | | 5 |  | Goldfish
Caught In The Loop
Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens
Much like its namesake, this storyline is purely a play to the fan craze. There are celebrity appearances and references to other nerd cult movies that make this clear there was a direction to make money off of this film. They weren't having fun as the primary objective. This combined with the unnecessary casting of an entire role of Fin's son for a total of approximately 15 minutes of annoying screaming spread throughout the movie, Sharknado 4 represents a very nearly useless piece of the series. | |

08.31.17 | Where my Sharknado/Syfy fans at? | Papa Universe
08.31.17 | I had to look this thing up... this is actually a thing? | bloc
08.31.17 | Wow the little subtitle thing for each movie is genius | Papa Universe
08.31.17 | Sharknado 2 produced by DJ Khaled | Drifter
08.31.17 | Snoop Dogg | Spluger
08.31.17 | I've seen the first one. I think that's enough lol, good list though. | JZW1997
08.31.17 | For me it goes in descending order.
Oh hell no
Sharknado
Another one
Global Swarming
The 4th Awakens | JZW1997
08.31.17 | I think all of them are really fun and stupid, but in a good way, except the 4th awakens which I thought was pretty much garbage. | Zig
08.31.17 | Tara Reid | Sniff
08.31.17 | All of them are 5/5 | bgillesp
08.31.17 | I agree about the 4th JZW. Global Swarming really surprised me though. I say 5/5 for the top 3, 4/5 for the second one, and 1.5/5 for the 4th. | Sinternet
08.31.17 | only seen the first two but they're both fun
the rob ford scene is classic | 50iL
08.31.17 | Bruhhh Sharknado 2 is the best | butcherboy
08.31.17 | Rob Ford, the late crystal meth mayor is in these movies?!?!? | Satellite
08.31.17 | it was crack, not meth.
ok, it was probably meth too. it's never just crack. | butcherboy
08.31.17 | hahaha, a crackhead who's offered meth and says No Thank You, I'm a Crack Man | Divaman
08.31.17 | I don't know, I think they all kind of tied for last. | BlazinBlitzer
09.01.17 | Coming soon on Sci-Fy: Sharknado 6: Shark Fiction (produced and directed by Jesse Lacey) | bgillesp
09.01.17 | It's syfy | bgillesp
09.01.17 | But also good joke :) | Sevengill
09.01.17 | I love SyFy originals but this whole series leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's too self-aware and tries obnoxiously hard to be "so bad it's good." Would much rather watch Sharktopus, Dinoshark, Megashark vs., Avalanche Sharks, or any number of other shark movies on the channel. | bgillesp
09.01.17 | Sharktopus was another favorite of mine. And I agree there was a bit too much self-awareness going on in places in the series, but the first was free of it, the next two didn't have too much, and the fifth, although full of it, directed into an intelligent place I feel was lost on most viewers | bgillesp
09.01.17 | The Sharktopus Vs. X spin offs were good too. Lavalantula was decent, but I haven't ventured too far out of the shark themed ones. | Sevengill
09.01.17 | the entire Maneater series was pretty decent (Grizzly Rage, Maneater, Croc, Yeti, Sabretooth, etc). | bloc
09.01.17 | Big Ass Spider was really disappointing |
