Spoiler alert: Crazy s--t happens in Sharknado 2: The Second One. You're shocked, we know. In the sequel to Sharknado, the wildly successful Syfy movie from summer 2013, Ian Ziering and Tara Reid head to New York City. But the sharks follow.

Yes, the opening scene is basically sharks on a plane. Oh, and Reid's character has written a book about how to survive a sharknado. It's appropriately titled How to Survive a Sharknado.

Now that you've seen the absolutely absurd (in the best way) movie, let's recap the craziest parts.

Jaimie Trueblood/Syfy

1. Kelly Osbourne is decapitated by shark. On a plane.

2. Tara Reid's hand is bitten off by a shark. On a plane.

3. The cameos: Perez Hilton is killed, but Jared Fogle, the Subway guy, survives and is just sitting around waiting for the subway. Plus, Kelly Ripa, Biz Markie, Robert Klein, Sandra "Pepa" Denton of Salt-n-Pepa...

4. Matt Lauer and Al Roker seemingly have more screen time than Tara Reid. They survive, all limbs intact, and kill a shark in the Today studio. Why not?

5. The head of the Statue of Liberty kills that guy from Shark Tank.

6. Tara Reid makes it so a shark gets run over by an ambulance.

7. Tara Reid pulls up in a fire truck and asks the guys if they need a ride.

8. Taxi star and Oscar nominee, Tony and Emmy winner Judd Hirsch is in it. He plays a cab driver. (Does he know the "G" in EGOT stands for Grammy, not Gimmicky? Hey-o!)

9. Mark McGarth survives the entire thing.

10. Vivica A. Fox basically kicks a ton of butt and then gets electrocuted and eaten mid-air. What?

And the best part of the movie…

11. Tara Reid's circular saw hand. Yes, Reid's character has Ziering's character's nephew equip her with a circular saw blade in place of her missing hand. She kills sharks with it. It's insane and glorious.

(E! and Syfy are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
