Trivia:

The characters played by Mark McGrath and Kari Wuhrer are named Martin and Ellen Brody. Those are the same names as Roy Schieder and Lorraine Gray's characters in "Jaws". Their son is named Vaughan, which was the name of Murray Hamilton's character as the Mayor in "Jaws".
Wil Wheaton's appearance in the film had originally been a joke in The Big Bang Theory: The Gorilla Dissolution (2014) where he gets the opportunity to audition for it after getting fired from another bad horror film.
The flight in the beginning of the movie is flight 209, the same flight number as the doomed flight in Airplane!.

Summary: A freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished, iconic sites - and only Fin and April can save the Big Apple.

Review:

I actually enjoyed the sequel more than the original. Setting this one in New York made for some campy fun. The scenes with the Statue of Liberty's head were spectacularly amazing! And the subway scene with the two workers, some sharks, and an alligator was priceless. I just could have done without all the family love crap. Let's just go kill some sharks!

Best Bits:

April Wexler: Fin, why aren't you having more fun with this? Fin Shepard: Come on, April. Two of my friends were killed. I almost destroyed Los Angeles. And, oh, yeah... I got eaten by shark. How much fun do you think that was?
Martin Brody: [to Vaughn after Fin jumps to safety from the taxi] You know what you just did, don't you? Fin Shepard: Don't say it. Martin Brody: He jumped the shark.
