5. Those Baywatch References

Because there apparently weren't enough Baywatch references in the last movie, the nodding is cranked up to 11 this time, with David Hasselhoff being joined by his Baywatch co-stars Alexandra Paul and Gena Lee Nolin, who crack wise about lifeguards being horribly paid.

The winking at the audience reaches an apex mere moments later, when The Hoff gets eaten by a shark and two nuclear sharks swing down to instantly irradiate Paul and Nolin, all while they're running in slow-motion, Baywatch style.

It had to be done, really. After committing to the Baywatch gags earlier, it'd basically be insanely rude not to.
