The Last Sharknado: It's About Time - 15 WTF Moments

7. Tori Spelling Is Fin's Mother!?!?

Fin's train trick sends the team onto a party beach in what appears to be the 1950s, where they come across Fin's parents, with his mother, Raye, being played by none other than Beverly Hills, 90210's Tori Spelling.

It's an incredibly jarring casting pick, even more so than The Shermanator, if only because most audiences probably haven't even thought about Spelling's existence in many years.

Also, the Back to the Future homages continue with some tongue-in-cheek interactions between Fin and his mother ("Did we go to high school together?"), before Fin's dad Gilly (Dean McDermott rather than David Hasselhoff, sadly) prays that their potential kids don't turn out like Fin. Oops.

Nice to see you again, though, Tori.
