❤I was watching the never ending story movie from 1984 it's my favorite childhood movie
My thoughts? Twister 1996 is the most accurate tornado film to exist besides a few scenes. Grew up with it 27 years ago now. Absolutely a classic. Never gets old for me, not when I'm a storm chaser myself. I chase for the National Weather Service in Texas. Just glad you got to see it. That film was a big deal back in 1996, & it still is among storm chasers everywhere. Sequel releases July 19th, 2024.
Rip Bill Paxton, Eddie Van Halen, & Philip Seymour. Gone, but not forgotten.
Simply put: Dad was in the "suck zone" ...if he'd been back further with mom & young Jo he would've survived with them
I have loved this movie since it came out, seen it many many times. The good thing? It gave me a better chance to watch YOU two, as you react. Thank you. I didn't touch my popcorn. 🤩🤩
HaPpY EaStEr 💚
As a Midwesterner I can tell you that a tornado (in the F4-F-5 scale) could definitely rip you right out of your shelter.
As those guys stated EF5 "finger of God"
@Tralman1965
I agree.
The Jarrell, TX EF-5 tornado didn’t only strip away the grass but removed up to almost 20” of topsoil and ripped asphalt away from its foundation.
If a tornado can rip up the roadway and remove a foot and a half of Earth, it can easily pick up a man (and, car, boat, barn….) and send him a long way.
It absolutely can.
As a Midwesterner, weatherman, yep, I can tell you that a tornado (in the F4-F-5 scale) could definitely rip you right out of your shelter.
Interestingly though the father didn't need to be holding onto the door as everyone else in the cellar survived.
Fun fact: The "Dorothy" and "D.O.T. 3" equipment in the movie is based on an actual project called "Toto" that works exactly the same way as described in the film. Thanks to "Toto", we now know a lot more about the wind dynamics of tornadoes, how they develop and move than was previously known.
Also, when Bill Paxton passed away, a larger number of storm chasers either went to their designated site or just set their GPS markers all across Tornado Alley to spell out his initials as a tribute. The initials were large enough to cover parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas.
@Cadinho93 I learned about that when watching a video about in on RUclips, luckily even in real life the project was a success. in you're face Hollywood
How awesome.
@@rickymoranjr9609No, the project didn't work. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOtable_Tornado_Observatory
@@BillKrayer12thMan it didn't, I thought it did work. clearly I'm an idiot
Winds up to 200- 300 mph will suck you out of any shelter and you won't be able to breathe and all the stuff in the air . I can only imagine
In 1997 when an F5 tornado hit Jarrell TX I was about 10 miles away, I had just left Salado. It was so strong it removed asphalt from the roads, removed houses AND the concrete pads they were sitting on. There was nothing left but dirt in some neighborhoods. That was a scary day.
That would be!
I dont remember when it was, but i recall one incident where a tornado lifted a whole train, cars and all, off its tracks and dropped it 100 yards from where it was parked. It was a one of those strange weather facts, right up there with another tornado that stripped a flock of chickens of their feathers and left them otherwise alive and intact.
Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in this film were amazing. They were such characters in this story. May they still RIP forever. Their legacy lives on in these classic films
💯
Well said!
PSH had such an acting range. The same guy playing Dusty, then playing the roommate if Patch Adams, both of them convincingly! Just amazing. RIP
You know that Hoffman had a blast with his character.
Yes, tornado winds have the strength to carry a person away.
27:12 "It's not that heavy". Actually, it is. A 25 inch cathode ray tv, like that one, would weigh about 100 lbs. That weight falling approximately 10 feet would hit with an impact force many times greater than 100 lbs.
"Jo. Things go wrong. You can't explain it, you can't predict it. Killing yourself wo'nt bring your dad back. I'm sorry that he died, but that was a long time ago. You gotta move on. Stop living in the past, and look at what you got right in front of you."
"What are you saying?"
"Me, Jo."
Fun Fact: There are a total of eight tornadoes in the film.
Casting Notes Fact: This movie reunites Helen Hunt with Bill Paxton who both appeared in Next Of Kin (1989).
Music Enthusiast Fact: Jan de Bont is a Tori Amos fan and decided early on he wanted to include some of her music. Tori Amos filmed a music video inspired by The Wizard Of Oz (1939) in 1994.
Sound Effects Fact: The unique siren sound made by Dorothy is achieved by combining the sounds created by a standard police, fire, ambulance siren control head. These control heads have modes called yelp, siren, and phaser.
Cutting Room Floor Fact: Was shot as an R rated film that featured profanity and grislier wound details. The film was edited down to a PG-13 in post-production which caused additional scenes with Cary Elwes and Philip Seymour Hoffman to be left on the cutting room floor due to content alone.
Exposition Dump Fact: Jami Gertz's role as Melissa Reeves doubles not only as a love interest for Paxton's character, but also as a vessel for exposition. With her character being the only one with no knowledge of tornados or meteorology exposition is "disguised" as her simply being curious while feeding the audience important information about the science behind tornados.
Computer Enthusiast Fact: All of the computers in the movie are Silicon Graphics workstations. This is highly unlikely (albeit not impossible), especially for the main characters' unsponsored team, since the average price for a Silicon Graphics workstation was around $40,000 at the time. ($73,296 in 2022 money, adjusted for inflation). Furthermore, the Silicon Graphics laptop did not exist in reality. It was created specifically for the movie by Silicon Graphics as a prop, and was not actually a functioning computer. Needless to say, Silicon Graphics was a sponsor of this movie.
You would definitely be ripped out of a storm shelter that close to the opening. For the wife and little girl, it would have been even more dangerous then they depicted after the door was ripped off.
strapping yourself to a pole is not an effective way to survive a tornado... like Ron White says... "It isn't THAT the wind is blowing. It's WHAT the wind is blowing."
I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability.
April 27th 2011, tornadoes were sucking up concrete driveways and tossing around bulldozers. Some of the tornadoes were creating trenches in the dirt several feet deep. I think this was the EF-5 Hackleburg, AL tornado.
It was raining roofing shingles, pieces of wood, and pink insulation. It was sunny outside, but the Tuscaloosa tornado had reached Fultondale which was about 10 minute away from me just north of Birmingham.
So it seems like it would be possible for a tornado to suck a person out of a house or shelter, but who knows.
BTW, the sky does turn green during a tornado. It's absolutely frightening 😦😨
Back when blockbuster movies were made. Fantastic.
A tornado of that strength can absolutely carry you and the door away. In fact there is an infamous story of that exact thing happening during the Joplin tornado. It's hard to comprehend the power those things can have.
Tornadoes are one of the scariest things on our planet
💯
I survived an f-4 back on Aug 6th 1993 and once you see it firsthand you never see it in any other way I remember the 210 mph winds at ground level and it is difficult to explain the sound of the twister herself mother nature is the baddest bitch on God's green earth pardon my language
Just said on the news that ohio has the most already in the 2024 year. This bites
Fun fact: joss whedon (buffy the vampire slayer creator) wrote the dialogues for this movie but never got credited for it
3:45 "I feel like that would not happen. It's a little too much."
May 4, 2022, Lockett Texas, an EF3 tornado ripped the cellar doors off the shelter where several town members were seeking safety from the tornado.
Nobody was hurt.
That was just a category 3 and the one in the movie is supposed to be a 5, much much more powerful.
That's just the first true story I found when googling.
Tornado winds are strong. Strong enough to flatten houses.
Any winds that can flatten a house can blow off one door.
There is also suction, which is why tornados are full of dirt - it sucks things up from the ground.
I have seen tornadoes roll up paved streets like sod and drive straw right through a tree trunk.
tornadoes pull up mature, well rooted trees and roll 2000lbs cars end for end.... picking up a single person is not a difficult task.
Crazy that not all houses in tornado alley are underground or something. Also I read last week that like 40%+ of people in texas dont have home insurance.
@@lolmao500 Maybe not that crazy.
Underground homes are expensive, way more expensive by far that above ground.
Also, it's easy to die in an underground home.
Poor ventilation and cave ins seem like the greatest hazards, but also getting in and out could be a problem, especially for elderly people or disabled people - unless we build them all with elevators too. Very expensive indeed!
Note that in the US, about 70 people die each year from tornadoes and about 25 die each year in underground accidents involving mines or caves - and that number is without having tens of millions of people living underground.
If only a few thousand people spend even part of one day in caves, and we still get a couple dozen deaths, imagine having 50 million people living their whole lives down there - that number would shoot up intot he thousands, or worse.
The soil/water table also makes the construction of underground shelters in homes difficult here. For most tornados an interior closet/bathtub will typically do, unless its a strong F4/F5 then you are toast@@lolmao500
This movie was great. Hilarious.
"You left her with Dusty? what's wrong with you?"
"Where's my truck?"(Crash) "There it is"
"She just missed the truck, that was awesome!!"😂
"Cow"
"OMG WE GOT COWS"
"ANOTHER COW" " actually I think that was the same one"
Poor cow lol
😂😂
Bill Paxton is the olny Actor to have his Character killed by The Terminator, killed by An Alien (Xenomorph), and then a Predator. 💯❤️🙂✅️
My dad retired from the power company and the updraft from a cooling tower of a power plant is almost enough to fly unassisted without wings. A twister is many times as powerful even a f1. With a door like that to act like a wing he will fly far before he can even let go. An F5 like a volcano is among the few natural forces that can push a blade of grass though a tree trunk like a nail.
I love how they used The Shining in that scene. At 23:26 you can see Johnnys face exactly at the moment when the Twister strikes, kinda giving it a terrifying face, coupled with the growling the Tornados have it gives them a living feature.
Also the moment Dorothy took off the Twister was like..."Well, you try to uncover my secrets. Then die!" :D
Yes, that would happen, and he wasn’t tucked in there, he was basically hanging on to a sail.
🫡 RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman
That movie made me consider studying meteorology at university. Tornados are insanely dangerous and you should seek cover if you encounter one, but I encountered 2 in real life and I can totally understand the fascination..its like with freak waves..they strangely pull some of us towards them (literally sometimes)
It's interesting that many of the main universities for the study of meteorology in the United States are in the Deep South. If you check out the education bios of every meteorologist that works for a TV station, TV network, cable weather channels, etc, the majority will have gone to 1 or 2 of 3 main universities out of the many universities.
While I lived in Killeen, TX in 2006, a Tornado came within 400 yards of my house. (0.23 Miles). There was continuous lightning! I could hear the Freight Train sound and the wind whipping around the corner of the house.
Before I could grab my 2 cats and head for the inner closet, it was gone.
We dodged a bullet.
We had some great directors (and actors like Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, RIP) working in the States during those times (Paul Verhoeven is another one (He and Jan de Bont (one of the best cameraman ever) worked together for decades (Paul started in the Netherlands in the 1950s, Jan early1960s). Yep they could/can tell stories (and Paul is still working over here in Europe). Jan also made Speed and Lara Croft.
Twister was my favourite movie as a kid. Made me want to become a stome chaser.
Ah Twister, grew up on this movie and still love it to this day
It’s good!
This movie ĺiterally blew me away in a theatre back then.
I Mean literally I was at a drive in . And the tornado hit Oklahoma and tore the screen off.......never saw the ending😂
3:51 EF 5? Yeah. That’s possible. Unlikely with any decent storm shelter, but that was wooden and rickety, and with a direct impact in the sucking part (rather than the normal, but debris-flinging circular winds around it), it’s possible.
Helen Hunt is great in this as in many films she’s done and with her and RIP Paxton it is worth watching again. All the other disaster movies that this started to spawn were one and one for me with some hit and miss there. Thanks for your reactions to this movie, they were wonderful ! 👍🏼❤
The new Twister coming out will be just a rehash of the original Twister of 1996, so I don’t expect that the remake will be a box office hit at all.
On another note, I am sorry for your loss of your grandfather 🙏🏻 and we will always be here for the both of you when the both of you return for livestreams. Family always comes first before anything else!
Thank you!
The tagline for the poster reads:
From The Creators/, Producers of Jurassic Park And The Director Of Speed. TWISTER, The Dark Side Of Nature.
Summer 1996.
I don't remember where I saw it from and I can't find anything about it, but I think they might have got funding from a college to make Dorothy and this is their last shot to get something since they won't give them anymore funding. It's clear from how old their tech and stuff they use are that they don't have any or a lot of funding compared to Jonas, who "went out and got himself some cooperate sponsors"
Natalie's Dad jokes are on point in this video!
In the spring especially in the Midwest, the cold air from the north and warm gulf air from the south collide creating lots of supercell storms. These storms can potentially outbreak dozens of tornadoes. I live on the southeast coast of the USA, and my state alone has had over 30 tornadoes in a single day before. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's a not so uncommon occurrence. This movie's depiction of tornadoes is definitely possible.
This came out when I was in middle school. I remember watching it in my high school French class. Now when I watch it, I remember the EF5 that hit Joplin, MO. I moved from Joplin the year before that.
Twister was the very first film to be released on DVD and if you liked Twister you will like the film Night Of The Twister it was a T.V. Movie RIP Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman
R.I.P. Bill Paxton
Twister is my all time favorite movie because I live in OKC and have dodged Tornadoes my whole life.
I'm an actual professional Storm Chaser now for a news station in OKC, and was lucky enough to score a role in the sequel! You can spot me in the Twisters trailer in the scene where shout, "Chase it!". I'm the guy standing behind the red dodge in the camouflage pancho and backwards green hat lol.
34:28 I know this is factual. The corn makes the landing softer, no doubt. But if you’ve ever been smacked in the head by a 40 mph corncob, it’s not fun. This batch of corn was going relatively as fast as the speedometer shows (0mph + the speed of the truck). Plus, additional corn is flying around that tornado at 200+ mph. One unlucky stray would do as much damage as that antenna part did to Jonas’ driver, possibly (I can’t verify that. Maybe Mythbusters could shoot corn at a ballistics gel head).
Seen "Twister", seen "Dante's peak"- now it's time for "Volcano" with Tommy Lee Jones.
According to Ron White, it not THAT the wind blows… it’s WHUT the wind blows.. :)
Fun movie all us chasers still watch each year but there are so many mistakes throughout this movie we just say "typical hollywood" and enjoy it anyway.
watch "Greenland" if you haven't. imo it's a another good disaster movie
Oh wow I saw Dante’s Peak. I did see Twister but I did not like it. I enjoyed this first time watch reaction way more than the movie
I was living in D/FW when we had large outbreak of tornadoes. It destroyed downtown Ft. Worth and then trashed Arlington. I was watching a Dallas Stars game when the satellite dropped out. I had to pick the game up on AM radio and was listening when the power went out and they started emergency broadcast breakthroughs. They said there were tornadoes all around me. I ran to the sliding glass doors to look out and there was a twister going west to east about a half mile away. I was watching it move and praying it wasn't coming towards me.
I found out later that while I was watching, it was putting a Corvette through the second floor of a friend's house. The damage path was nuts as no trees had leaves or many branches left. The houses were just piles of trash. The destruction was crazy.
Tornadoes have been known to kill people in their basements and in shelters. The Jarrell Texas tornado pulled plumbing out of the ground and reduced large objects into shrapnel. Some tornadoes can dig into the ground up to 3 ft. People have been pulled out of cars and shelters because of the low pressure vacuum of a tornado. F5 tornadoes level brick houses down to their foundation and carry away the bricks. Tornado damage can be very impressive and unbelievable especially with F-5s. Recently in the Joplin tornado someone died holding a door to a shelter and he was blown away with the door just like in the movie.
An F5 tornado can absolutely take a person out like that. There are videos where an 18 wheeler is going round and round in and F5 tornado, so yes it can pull out a person for sure. There have been times, sadly, family members were found miles away from where their home was.
yeah, F5 tornados are often called "fingers from god" bcoz where they go, destruction follows
Why would you ever presume that it was going to be cheesy!!????
Why wouldn’t we 😜
I've seen entire neighborhoods wiped away completely. No houses or trees left in sight for miles. It would definitely rip you right out of a shelter.
you girls look beautiful once again. is cliff hanger a movie you've seen its been awhile but remember was good
Thank you!!
An EF-5 has more than enough power to do exactly what was depicted to anyone that close to the funnel and once that door was ripped off, anyone else in that cellar had better be nailed down, depending on the configuration of the shelter.
I remember seeing Twister in the theater back in 1996. It was really a fun theater experience. Oddly enough, I have seen a couple of tornados before.
Especially if the theater had surround sound.
You could hear that cow fly around the room
This movie encouraged multiple storm chasers
...we got "greenage"... I still remember hugging my dog Socks in the bathtub... (the most central part of the house)... when the tornado was 3 blocks away in NWOKC.... It always missed us... but went on up to hit Edmond....
To think that there was about a 1000 tornados 🌪 per year..around a decade ago but there's more than that now..insane times!!!!😱😎👏🙌🙏🤞👍🎉
Average now is 1200.
@@StormChaserMaci. yep or more....definitely crazy times!!!!
when the dad got sucked up by the twister that really can and does happen but he would have lived if only he had just
let it go and stayed with the wife and daughter who some how grew up to be helen hunt
ho i cant wait to see twisters just to see if its a remake or if its different to twister
back in the day when i was 16yo i first seen it in the cinema day of release in the uk we was sat front row in the middle it was cool made my mum feel a little bit sick in the scene with the cow and the truck spinning around it really made us feel like we was in it
Watch Team America World Police funny as helll
Classics for you:
"The Towering Inferno" (1974)
"Volcano" (1997) Tommy Lee Jones, Anne Heche
"The Poseidon Adventure" (1972) Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine
You have my condolences, #ForceOfLightEntertainment. Thanks so much for the awesome movie reaction. I'm still continuously supporting you because I really enjoy watching your reactions to different movies, and also because your content is so amazing.
Thank you!
It had a good Twist to it. And holy cow this movie can really lift you up! Plus it reminds you, there's no place like home. Enjoyed to reaction. Have a wonderful day, Michelle and Natalie! Five hoots to ya 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
Thanks Stephen!!
Great Reaction! Couple of interesting tidbits for you from an Okie who has lived in Central Oklahoma for 46 of my 50 years; and is also currently a grad student at the University of Oklahoma (unfortunately NOT in meteorology lol).
1. Who pays for Helen Hunts crew?
Probably a government grant through OU. The original script essentially had them being a team from the University of Oklahoma, which is the world's most renown meteorology/severe weather school, and who essentially started the scientific chasing of storms in the late 80's. The school is co-located with the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) and the National Weather Service (NWS), on the south side of the main campus right off highway 9 in Norman, OK. At the time of the original movie, the University was not sure what the reception of the film would be, and essentially asked to have a very low profile as the OKC bombing had just happened, and everyone was a bit weary of a disaster film being made. (Dusty's OU hat is about the only reference to the school). In the upcoming sequel the University is supposed to have a larger role. I happened to be at NWS about 3 weeks ago and it was all the talk, they had recently trained Glenn Powell for his role; and side note the original "Dorthey" movie prop is in the lobby along with some of the original real instruments.
2. Do they have that many tornados in one day?
We absolutely can if there is a large enough outbreak. I was living in CA about 3 months from moving back when the 1999 Moore F5 hit,; but was here in 2013 when an F4 hit Moore and 5-6 days later an F5 hit El Reno, Oklahoma. One each of these 3 storm events there were multiple other tornados. In fact the 99' storm is what caused NWS to create a new warning. Normally you have a "Tornado Watch" and a "Tornado Warning". But in addition, we now have "particularly dangerous situation" and "Tornado Emergency" for large or multiple storms.
3. Overall the movie is fairly realistic, but............
Bill and Helen would not have survived an F5 by lashing themselves to a pipe. During the 1999 F5, there were places where IF a large enough tree survived, all of the bark was stripped from it. In a few places the concrete that made up the roads was actually LIFTED OUT OF THE GROUND. The local TV meteorologists actually started saying, "if you are not underground you will not survive" and "we have never told you to get in a car and drive away, but if you are 30 minutes or more away from this and don't have a shelter do that now". Winds clocked by OUs mobile truck mounted Doppler were over 316 miles an hour. This is comparable to the blast wave of a small nuclear weapon. Other than the F5 though, flying cows and trucks can and do happen.
If you search youtube there are some great documentaries and other footage of the 1999 and 2013 F5 tornados.
4. DId any of you see this in the theater at the time?
Yes, several friend's and I went, it was all the talk, a major movie being made in OK. The weird thing was it was a relatively nice evening when we went into the theater. But when we got out it was night, and a storm front was headed right to us, lightening, hail, tornado watch, sirens, etc.. we were living' the movie on our drive home LOL. I plan to do the same again for the sequel. Especially because some shots were filmed just 2 miles from my neighborhood.
Great reaction, you got a new sub!
Thank you!!
Great popcorn movie when it came out in 1996. The most underrated thing is the soundtrack for the movie led by Van Halen with the songs Humans Being & Respect the Wind. Eddie Van Halen at his best. RIP EVH...... 🎸
Recommend a classic...The Court Jester with Danny Kaye and a young Angela Lansbury!
Good reaction!!!
Dante’s Peak is a great movie, glad you watched it!
“The Day After Tomorrow” is a classic. Might want to check that one out!
Also, I haven’t seen anybody on RUclips react to “Fly Away Home” yet! Might be an opportunity! Not a disaster movie, but a really wholesome story between a father and a daughter.
Tornado waay stronger than u sweeties realise...movie doesn't do it justice even if anything.🎉
I’m sure
HEY YOU GUYS NINJA TURTLES FANS?
IF SO, DO 3 REACTIONS TO THE 90'S NINJA TURTLES TRILOGY
AND HAVE BOXES OF PIZZAS WHILE WATCHING THEM🐢🍕🍕🍕🍕
AND DO REACTIONS TO BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 & 3
BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F IS PART. 4 AND IT'S COMING TO NETFLIX THIS YEAR
DO REACTIONS TO PART 2 & 3 NOW✌🏾🤘🏾
ARE YOU GUYS REALLY SISTERS OR ROOMMATES?
You asked who was funding the research. It’s implied that it is a university, probably Oklahoma University, based on Dusty’s hat.
I went to the movies and saw this at the time. I was a pre-teen. It's good but not great. Helen Hunt's character, Jo just wants her husband back. Luckily, she got her wish. Like Michelle said, the weather brought them together. It'll bring them back together! LOL! I wouldn't want to live anywhere near tornados. I live in southern CA. We got our earthquakes!
2:20 Notice the name "Toby" for the dog is very similar to "Toto" from "The Wizard of Oz"? That's no mistake, that was an intentional nod...as is the fact that Toby is the same breed of dog that Toto is. :)
Ya can't like everything and for me this "Hollywood Blockbuster" was the silliest movie ever made, right up there with Plan 9 From Outer Space. The plot essentially boiled down to "I'm gonna kill me the twister that killed my daddy." The flying cow did it in for me. The Wizard of Oz did flying debris, etc. much better.
Storm chasers are often portrayed as crazy irresponsible adrenaline junkies and in truth they are a bit nuts bc youd have to be. But its no different than navy pilots who fly into hurricanes to measure and plot to better undestand and better prepare. Tornado chasers also are pivotal role in warning communities where a tornado has been spotted and how big they are. We don't have the tech yet to know the precise location of a tornado touching down. It requires actual eyes to see it, generally chaser eyes. So chasers deserve respect. They save lives at the risk to their own. Abd there have been chasers lost.
Yes we are crazy & seen as so, but there is a major difference in those who chase for fun screwing around with a camera, vs those of us who do it to protect others.
I'm a trained storm chaser responsible for the San Antonio/Austin area for the NWS (soon to become state wide) & believe me, I have seen nature go insane before my own eyes.
I could have ended this movie in 1 minute. Sorry, Jo, we'll get you another dog.
😂
Cool movie, seen it in the movie theater 🎭🍿🎥👍
Awesome!
I'm remember little about the original film (like pieces of the scenes here and there especially the beginning of the movie). However, the only thing I did remember was the VHS tape that my parents did own, because my mom did said she went to see it in theaters when it's came out when I was young at the time in the mid-90s. But, however, I'm gonna re-watch the original before I see the new one (with Glen Powell & Anthony Ramos) in July. 🌪🌪😌
8:05 I also screwed this guy's last name up for years. The proper pronunciation is Cary EL-wes.
Great soundtrack including one of the first hits from Buffalo NY homies The Goo Goo Dolls - Long Way Down.
"Catch the TV" 😲
Do you know what those old school box tv's weigh ?
Back in the day i had a 32" Sony box TV and that thing was an easy 200 - 250 pounds ! !
My ex was a flight attendant.
When I asked the meanest celeb ( she frequently did routes to from lax)
She didn't hesitate .." Helen hunt"
She was mean to staff.
I was shocked
This movie was Philip Seymour Hoffman's big break.
The practical effects created for this classic raise the bar for movies of the time. It's worth watching the behind-the-scenes filming of how they did everything. Did a sequel need to be made? No and I doubt it will be good. You should watch a comedy next to mix it up. I know all of the recommendations I've given in the pas are on your list, but how about starting with either "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" or "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", which has a connection to "Twister" in that the actor Alan Ruck is in both movies.
If you enjoyed this than maybe you should watch "The Day After Tomorrow". It's premise is about what could happen if we continue to release carbon dioxide into the air adding to the greenhouse effect. It's a movie that I really enjoyed and watch again and again.
In Oklahoma tornado wind can get in 300s its very dangerous
Dang!
This movie is why God invented movie theaters. It really adds to the experience. The least believable thing is is the Doge Ram Truck not breaking. All Dodges are garbage.
It's still my favorite twister films. The others that came out went a little overboard like sharknado and supercell. Those films were just retarded. "Twister" is #1.
Did you know, Salt had the value of Gold in Roman Times ? I heard you say, that men think about the Roman Empire at least once a day.😁😊🤗🤭
🙄New so-called TWISTERS movie does not do this movie justice at all because this is a memorial classic and all Hollywood is doing is reforming past movies to keep money in their pockets no matter how bad the content is.
The closing credits music is totally mind-blowing Rock guitar solo just about. The soundtrack for this movie is awesome but it doesn't cover all the music that's in this movie.
I live in Oklahoma and have witnessed many 50+ tornado days. And a couple over 100
Wild place to live april to june
ummmm those old Tube TV's like that are very heavy, one that size could be 50lbs your not gonna catch that.
If you want to watch actual storm chasers turn utube to Ryan, y'all. He follows the storms and has a group of storm chasers. I can verify that a series of tornadoes can be clusters. His group whenever possible helps with financial aid for the victims. He also keeps on top of snow storms too. ⚡⚡🌪🌩🌬
I think this was the first movie on DVD. Hellen Hunt's Aunt is a fun character in this. Philip Seymour Hoffman, RIP, had way too much fun with his role. The suck zone, hillarious. Bill Paxton, RIP also, great job as the lead. The extreme! Many good quotes. "Roll the maps" "The Rabbit is wise" "We've got hail" "We've got cows" and "I know how to make Dorthy fly"
"Fashionably late again, Jonas?!" Lol!
Yes, an F-5 tornado can suck you out of shelter.
I grew up in the northern end of tornado alley.
Springtime its the worst time for tornadoes.
I used to chase tornadoes in Iowa occasionally.
It is freaky what tornadoes do.
I have seen a pig killed by a piece of straw that was flung by a tornado, much like the boards going into the wall go the barn.
Something else not well known.
People who grow up in tornado alley tend to develop a sixth sense about when tornadoes will spawn.
It is like a feeling or a smell in the air and those people head for cover before the alarms sound.
Much like animals can sense when a disaster is about to happen.
It is uncanny their ability.
That is what they are talking about with Billie "reading the storm".
First time watching 'Twister'???? Now you've gone too far.
Bill Paxton is the Character Actor who Makes The Movie a Classic, a much Darker Bill Paxton Movie is " Near Dark" he's also in a little known movie called " The Vagrant " , i Saw this movie at a Drive in and it was Magical

This year, long time coming sequel, Twisters will be released in July.
You ladies are fortunate to have never experienced the true fury of nature
They weren't exaggerating. On am active day, in tornado Alley, there can be dozens in an active storm system. Inside a hurricane, there can be hundreds. Dang tornados never cooperate.
An F5 is Brock Lesnar's finishing move if you're a wrestling fan
A lot of storm chaser friends didn't like the film. I have to say I definitely was entertained by it.
Couple of things. You can't look at a tornado and say what its 'F' number is. The other one would be when, at the end when they go into the shed and hang on to the pluming. When the shed was blown away all that debris would rip them to shreds.
On the subject of 'F' numbers. The way to determine the 'F' number is to investigate the damage and see what was blown away.
As for F-5 tornadoes. Go look up the Jarrell Texas F-5 tornado. Think about this. The Jarrell tornado ripped ROADS off the face of the Earth!!
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Yep. They don't assign an "F scale" value until the damage is surveyed afterwards. And NO way they would've survived at the end!😂
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 I've been a chaser since the late 60's. Off and on. I lived in Tulsa. There is always plenty to watch there!
