Sky Sharks

Angelique: "The sharks are mutating to defend themselves!"
me, the viewer: "Well, of course they are."

release year: 2020
genre: shark mayhem
viewing setting: home streaming 11/19/25

synopsis: Long-forgotten zombie Nazis and their flying shark mounts are back and wreaking havoc in the skies.

impressions: Yup, that's the premise here. The movie starts with an attack on an airliner, during which the Nazis' sole purpose appears to be cutting into the plane, going inside, and murdering everyone. It's completely over the top and sets the tone for what's to come, which is...a mashup of several crazy ideas. This had the music and style of Kung Fury, the undead Nazis of Overlord (or any of several other undead-Nazi movies), the super-soldier idea from Captain America, the futuristic but evil corporation of Resident Evil, and the random funny advertisements of Robocop. Plus flying sharks with riders and weapons. Take all of that, throw it into a blender, add random bits of nudity, gore, and humor...and this is what you get. It's no surprise that by the end there's a big battle in the sky involving bad sharks, a good shark, airplanes, and the people riding them all. Honestly, all that was missing was laser guns and light sabers. And maybe dinosaurs.

acting: Given that some characters were NEVER NAMED in the movie, I don't know how the fuck I'm supposed to match them to actors. What I do know is this: Eva Habermann was the sister who could fight, and Barbara Nedeljakova was the one who criticized their father a lot. Tony Todd was an over-the-top American general. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Lar Park Lincoln and Mick Garris were in here somewhere too.

final word: To quote directly from one review online: "It delivered exactly what it said it would: evil undead Nazis riding sky sharks."
