Sharknado 2: the Second One filming in New York – in pictures More flying sharks! The sequel to last summer’s cult TV sensation is filming in New York city this week, and we can’t wait to watch menacing fish take a bite out of the Big Apple Tweet Ian Ziering, Dante Palminteri (yes, Chazz’s son) and Vivica A Fox stand on the hood of a New York City taxi trying to escape the Sharknado. Vivica survived Independence Day, and Ian survived 90210, so we’re pretty sure Dante is in good hands.

Hirsch, who first came to fame as a taxi driver in the 1970s TV show Taxi, plays a taxi driver. Get it? GET IT?

Finally, Hirsch and Ziering look up to confront the real threat: flying sharks. Photograph: Startraks Photo/Rex Photograph: Startraks Photo/REX The horror.
