Last month, Syfy released anew trailerfor their highly-anticipated sequelSharknado: The 4th Awakens, which revealed the fate ofTara Reid’s character April. The third installment ended on a cliffhanger, allowing fans to vote whether April lives or dies. Fans voted for her return. Today we have a new trailer, which features just some of the numerous cameos, along with a fewStar Warsreferences as well.
The trailer, which debuted onYouTubetoday, reveals that the action has shifted to Las Vegas, and that this newSharknadoisn’t the only thing Vegas residents have to worry about. We also see a number of new tornadoes, such as a “firenado,” “oilnado” and a “cownado,” which may be a not-so-subtle reference to the infamous cow scene in the 1996 thrillerTwister. It is also revealed cities such as San Francisco, Seattle and Salt Lake City coming under attack from these inexplicable storms. The end of this trailer also reveals thatTara Reid’s April may have some Jedi powers of her own, as she’s seen wielding a lightsaber that comes out of her arm, which takesDolvett Quinceby surprise.
