Ah, the classic Sharknado, produced by Asylum Films. They went on to make many more ‘classics,’ including a movie I worked on in NC: “American Battleship.” It’s okay if you missed this gem, although the actor Carl Weathers, from ‘Rocky’ was a joy to work with … 😊

I’m afraid I initiated something. Please don’t throw rocks at me, if you view ‘American Battleship!’

Sharknado is a love it or hate it deal. I find it hilarious but like PamelaZelie said, please don't throw rocks at me if it stinks :) LOL!

No no. It is a horrendous movie … low budget to the max. Even my son, an adolescent at the time said, “Mom! I can’t even watch this movie to the end!”

You provided a walk down memory lane with your mention of Asylum Films. I still chuckle at the title of one of their films: “Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies!”

Perhaps they were ahead of their time: it certainly fits our current government.

You might earn some coin by cutting a deal to lease the Asylum Films catalog to The History Channel ....

Apparently they had to change name to American Warship, and Rotten tomatoes 13%, but I also like Carl Weathers...

Haha, I saw "Abe v Zombies". It was amusing. "Alternate History", if you will. Arguably, better than "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".
