TWISTER IS BACK BABY, ANOTHER RE-UPLOAD FROM THE VAULT; THANK YOU TO OUR EDITOR EDUARDO THE GOAT FOR GETTING THIS UP FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AND ONE OF OUR BIGGEST FANS LILLY FOR THE SICK GIFTS!
If you love Philip Seymour Hoffman, and haven’t seen it you should check out almost famous. Brilliant performance, amazing soundtrack and amazing acting.
0:12 - Helen Hunt, an amazing actress. I will die on that hill holding this scene. I know I said this last time, I don’t care, I’m saying it again. I also know that I said last time that I LOVED the Twister effect studio in Universal, I was SO UPSET when they closed it. I am now watching this with you guys again because you are both cool guys and this is a cool movie- that is all.
Exactly. Melissa's character is what is known as the "expositionary character." Just like you said, she's there to ask all the question those of us would ask if we were there.
I think that's why her being a therapist made sense, too. It was acceptable to think she was capable of thinking everything through ahead of time. Making her decision to end it seem less sudden.
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.
Actually Toto was only used once during a tornado chase in 1985 but due to its high center of gravity the pack was knocked over. Additionally predictably of a tornado’s path was impossible to know which direction it would take. Though years later the late Tim Samaras placed another device he called a turtle probe successfully in the path of the famous Manchester South Dakota tornado and gave a large amount of information from the inside.
RIP Bill 😞... Another great Movie 🎥🍿 that the guys have to check out with Bill Paxton in it; *"Weird Science"!!* Bill plays the role of the asshole brother in the Movie!!
I saw this movie in the theaters, in 1996, and when the movie was over and everybody was leaving, I remember hearing one lady say, "That was the longest Dodge Ram commercial I've ever seen in my life." lol
Alan Ruck is also in Speed as the tourist, and the dad who dies at the beginning in Twister is the detective in Speed who says there's a section missing. Director Jan de Bont directed this film along with directing Speed.
I live in a tornado zone. It’s not fun when the sirens go off. It takes seconds to completely destroy someone’s livelihood. There is no other sound like a real tornado. Terrifying.
Out of all the movies they keep re-releasing in the theaters for anniversaries, this movie is one I would LOVE to see back in the theaters. Can’t wait to see the “twisters “ movie, even if it has nothing to do with this movie.
Hi guys, I was a photo journalist for KSWO channel 7 Lawton Oklahoma and met a lot of professional storm chasers and they really are crazy without being stupid 😂😂
I lived in Lawton for one year. The scariest year I ever lived through! Coming from Ohio and moving to Oklahoma.... the amount of times the siren went off in that one year was astounding to me. Funnily enough, I only experienced my first tornado after I left Lawton and went back to Ohio!
F-5 tornadoes are by far the most scary twisters ever to hit the U.S. infact the mini tornado inside the giant one in the film was a window into what is actually inside a tornado actually mini tornadoes are really inside EF - 5 twisters and act as batteries inside the giant twister acting as an engine inside the F - 5 TORNADOES eye. So giant F-5s actually having a cyclonic engine to double the power of the twister itself imagine that Octokrool 🤔😉👌
Twister is one of the most exciting movies out there, especially seeing it on the big screen. One of my top favorites. Loved Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in this. They are missed.
Tornados sound like a roaring train going by without the the horn. The scariest Tornado are the rain wrapped ones at night. I knew a guy that got away from one and said his car was saying he was going 80 mph and the car was actually going 20 because of the wind force.
I'm not being argumentative, so don't take it that way, but I never hear "train" in a tornado. It's deeper than that to me, so I never describe it as that. At a distance, it's like thunder that doesn't "roll", but stays steady. I live in NW Arkansas and we've had several, but I've only ever been in one that I took shelter ( we are crazy like that) and it wasn't because of wind or rain or anything. It was because we were dead in the "suck zone" and there was NOTHING. THAT is when you know you are in trouble. It's sucking everything up, even the sounds of the thunder and even speaking voices sound muffled. It's INTENSE. And then you hear that rumble. That one was an EF3 and like I said, we are crazy. Our neighbor's teen sons were standing ON THEIR ROOFTOP so they could see it. I also remember the night of the Joplin tornado. Our weather was bad too, and the TV kept blaring a warning. Stupid me, I got aggravated and said, "Why are they testing the system over and over???" Turned out, it was a warning for us as well, and we were ignoring it. My husband knew the Norton family, and I'll never forget when they came on the live TV report that their son Will was missing. He went deathly pale. I still tear up, thinking about how that hamdsome talented boy died getting sucked out of their vehicle with dad trying desperately to hold on to him. It was and still is heartbreaking to me. Mother Nature can be a real b**ch.
Midwesterners all know someone who has lived through a tornado. There was just one that tore the roof of of a FedEx warehouse about 90 miles from me this afternoon. And everyone describes the sound as a mix between a whistle and a roar.
5:23 Good catch! One of the sounds they used to make the tornado sounds was actually a lion roaring. They also used jet engines and several other types of animals, to add that eerie organic sound to it all.
In February of 2013, we had an EF4 that was half a mile wide. My mom, older sister and I hid in my sisters closet and it sounded like a freight train. Thankfully no one got killed, yet about 71 people were injured.
Tornadoes sound like oncoming trains, including the whistle, because of the tornado alarm. We tend to never get anything above an F-2 in Michigan, but those are scary enough
This movie kicked off the storm chasing craze, and while genuine storm chasers admit its kinda stupid and gets the science quite wrong, it’s still beloved. When Bill Paxton died, a whole bunch of storm chasers plotted routes to spell out “BP” on GPS. It also sold a ton of Dodge Rams.
In a different life, I would totally be a storm chaser!! I’ve been a weather nerd all of my life. I used to stand out in the back yard and watch the storm clouds and lightning, while my mom is at the back door screaming for me to come in the house, 😂 Love this movie.
They actually tried something similar to Dorothy in the 70s and 80s called TOTO (Totable Tornado Observatory), but never worked. The 3 sensor deploy units from this movie can be seen on display at The National Weather Center in Norman, OK. The guy on TV at 5:11 is Gary England, he was a meteorologist in Oklahoma, my home state for 41+ years before he retired. F5 tornadoes are really rare. The Fujita scale started in 1971 and only 67 total have ever been recorded. Also, unless it is your very last option, don't take shelter under overpasses because the windspeeds can actually increase due to the Venturi effect.
As a Floridan who is very familiar with both this movie and the old Universal Studios ride, this is gonna be a joy to seem them experience this movie for the first time.
I went to see this in the theater with my sister in high school, but we told our parents we saw First Knight. We were good kids, so we were tickled that we pulled one over on our parents. LOL GREAT MOVIE!!!
Some facts about this movie first it broke a lotta theater speakers because of the volume and secondly when bill paxton died 2000 storm chasers used gps blips to carve out bp into corn fields as a thank you for being in this
When Bill Paxton died the stormchasers across the US did a homage to him that could be seen on the live map. Also fun fact: despite how the villain of this movie died, no stormchaser was ever killed by a tornado until the El Reno tornado and those storm chasers were actually attempting to do what Bill did with Dorothy.
Just wanted to tell you guys thank you for everything you do. I lost my dad to cancer a couple of weeks ago and you both have given me some much needed positivity and laughs with your reactions during these hard times. This movie holds a special place in my heart as I remember watching this with my dad when it came out. It was the first movie to be released on DVD. Thank you Chris and Curtis!
It was a crazy experience seeing this in the theater because during the drive-in scene, the whole screen rips away, and you're literally staring at a big movie screen. And in the next room over you could hear big booms from another movie. It felt like a tornado might rip through your screen at any second!
Melissa could have easily become the wicked witch of the west, but instead she's curious and asks questions that the audience wants to know the answers to, she's freaked out but rightly so in these situations, and she doesn't hate Jo for being the ex or Bill for getting back with her. And we love her for all of that.
The reason tornadoes make the sounds they do is because they are quite literally scouring the Earth of rock and soil with wind. Far away, it'll sound like a distant jet engine, but as soon as it comes close, its very low central pressure combined with the dirt and debris it is picking up will cause the bone-rattling train rumble everyone describes. You have to experience one with professional storm chasers to understand how intense it is.
I saw this in theaters when I was thirteen. The sky was dark when the movie let out, and I remember feeling a little nervous as we walked to the car that there could be a tornado hiding in the dark like the one in the drive-in scene.
I used to get physically sick when we had bad weather. Then at 9, we had the worst storm ever. I had thrown up at least twice before they finally sent out a Tornado Warning. It didn’t hit us, but we could hear it. I’ve been in love with storms ever since. I take photos of clouds/storms/lightening. This movie became my dream❤
My nephew is 9 and he's been afraid of and gotten sick during bad weather ever since he was 3. Im glad to hear that someone made it out of that phase and loves weather. I hope my nephew eventually has the same love u do for weather.
@@nluna75 I hope so! I’m not sure what changed for me. The only explanation I have is maybe adrenaline? But I would NOT want your nephew to go through that. I don’t know if I would still be afraid of them or not had I not experienced that storm. It just totally flipped for me.
@@stormy_daydreams A few years ago we had a tornado here in central texas and we were all in the middle of it and his fear was still there. To be fair everyone was scared that day.
This is the definition of a very fun and entertaining blockbuster. The Storm chasers, especially the one played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, were just undeniably fun! Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt had undeniably awesome chemistry, then you add the lovely Jami Kurtz to the triangle, and it was just hot fun all around!
For anybody who doesn't keep up with the chasing community, Barnswall OK was decimated by an EF4 just a couple days ago. Jo is talking about possibly getting warning lead times up as high as 15 minutes in this movie. Barnswall had _44 minutes_ of lead time. It's incredible how far the science has come in the last 30 years.
This movie inspired so many of today's storm chasers into the business. When Bill Paxton storm chasers in the Midwest lit up their GPS beacons to spell "Bill Paxton" on the ground.
I live in Dixie Alley and Twister was a major influence for me getting into storm chasing here in the south along with the events of April 27th where I was in the original path of the Tuscaloosa EF4 if it remain eastward rather than moving slightly north. The lightning in the beginning literally gets that bad to where its non stop or "Strobe-Lightning" as I call it.
My Mom grew up in tornado country and said she had tornados jump over her house many times. (Those who know her say no tornado would dare go after Mom. 🤣🤣🤣) She said it was less like animal roars than a freight train passing over your house, for what it’s worth. That could be how long the noise lasts, though.
Watched this as a kid and decades later I still can't hear wind chimes without thinking of this movie. I always liked that they touch on the human aspect of the devastation left behind by tornadoes. (My only gripe is that the random leather belts and piping saved them from an F5???)
I loved watching Stormchasers on The Discovery channel. One team leader died chasing a tornado. I was trying to film a tornado from the inside (the eye) in IMAX. If I rememeber correctly he managed to do it but died shortly after. It was always fun seeing the teams trying to beat eachother to the tornados.
Yesss this movie was my favorite as a kid and rewatching it now it's still just as amazing! Love the story, the visuals, the soundtrack, the cast! My mom has always been told her whole life she looks identical to Helen Hunt and she really does! (fun fact lol) I love your guys' sense of humor and positive demeanors! Every time I'm feeling down or in a funk, I always watch you guys and I'm always in a better mood and laughing my ass off. So glad you guys covered this movie and can't wait to see what's next! :)
When I lived in Nebraska I went through a few tornados. Yes, they sound like that. After spending the night in the basement once I came out in the morning to see the top half of our chimney standing up in the corn field.
I saw this when it came out. Still one of my favorites. Effects STILL look good after 1996. Glad you watched this one. Listen to the soundtrack-amazing music. The obnoxious one who died-same actor who was the star in The Princess Bride-Cary Elwes.
I used to live in Wakita and also go to see some of the sets being built. A couple of funny things is the sign shows a population of almost 600 and Wakita at the most had around 525 in the mid 80's and has been on a decline since. The movie crew cam into town and basically cleaned up the whole town. They didn't show any of the sets they built in the movie......the whole downtown had a complete makeover where they added 2nd and 3rd floors to the buildings (just just fake) and filled in blank spots between the buildings. They made the whole downtown area look about 2X the size it actually is. The street Meg lives on they ended up tearing down almost all the houses to build fake houses for the movie. When they are leaving Meg's house (around 23:07 in your review) and turning left on to Main street the big house you see with the wrap around porch never existed and was another set piece. They did all kinds of set pieces that they never showed, they just showed the aftermath of blowing up all of the sets to show the tornado's destruction. Wakita still holds an Old Settlers day every year and the tornado chasers show up to help celebrate and also to also see the Twister museum that is still open (mostly by appointment).
My scariest tornado experience living in Michigan was my older sister racing 90+ miles down I-94 trying to out flee a F2 tornado. I'm seating in the back watching this monster throwing a semi truck into a ditch feeling her 94 cavalier being pushed towards it.
That's a radar Doppler in the beginning....it detects moving objects by a Doppler effect (frequency changes of the radar electromagnetic waves boucing nack on the objects) ! nice reaction guys ! awesome movie i saw in the theater in 1996 !
4:57 My mom has a picture of me at about 3 years old, standing on a desk she had facing a wide window, with my hands over my ears, staring out the window at the thunderstorm. One of my favorite sounds, and the first type of sound I ever owned on a CD specifically for the sake of the ambience; an hour long thunderstorm that put me to sleep many times. 💙💙
My daughter and I went out to see this in a refurbished old theater in which the owner had installed the latest and greatest sound system and it was fabulous. We felt like we were in the twister with the sound of the wind swirling around us. It was such fun. I did not know who Phillip Seymour Hoffman was, but seeing him in this movie I thought he was the best, most realistic thing about it besides the look of the tornado and I made the comment, "That guy will win an Oscar some day." I was in high school in the US midwest and we had a substitute teacher who was from a different part of the country. We commented on the sky saying it was tornado weather and she was like "What?, You're kidding right?" and we explained that no we weren't, when the sky appears green that is a sign of tornado weather.
I live in Oklahoma and back in 2010 we had a normal spring tornado day and night . I was asleep and my daughter who was 3 at the time came running down the hall yelling daddy there is a train driving through the house there is a train driving through the house. We lost a fence trampoline part of the roof and my ac unit was in the middle of the street.
March of 1990 it started to rain in Wakita, the we got quite a bit of lightning....the wind picked up and it started to hail. The hail was easily 1" plus size and the wind picked up. The hail was shredding the shingles off the roofs, windows and windshields were being destroyed along with the trees. Then it went completely silent. We were looking around outside to check out the damage and looked out to the east side of town and saw the tornado heading north east. It took our power out for over a week.
Last night a twister went right over my apartment. No warning, sound asleep. I heard a train in my dreams and woke up just as it hit. No time to run for the bathroom . It nearly took the roof off. Devastation all around. Couldn't find the cat for an hour. But we're all ok and clean up began this morning. I'm in Orlando and it's my second one here. It just gets added to the 8 hurricanes I've been thru. Not here but also 1 earthquake, 1 flood, 1 volcano, hurricane at sea and 3 blizzards. Ah life is fun 😅
I want the new one to be good, but I just don't think it's possible to capture the energy of the original. At least, I have serious doubts that current filmmakers can do it justice.
Here to say it blew my expectations away. Already knew it would be a different take and the take it made, was the perfect summer popcorn eating blockbuster we needed in the shitty times were in right now. Much needed & sure it wasnt perfect but its defintely a good homage to the original.
The look ok dustys face when he says "it looks to hit wakita head on...." is heartbreaking 😢 when the guy that can't take anything serious gets scared, you know it's bad
Twister II: The Reckoning. A baby chick grows up to seek vengeance against the tyranny of the twisters, driven by the memory of seeing his father, along with his entire flock, disappearing up the suck zone of one. Rated R.
I was stuck outside just this week in a hail storm. I had to pick up my kids and they come out from different sides of the building so I had to walk all the way around getting hit by it. Yeah it hurts.
I live tornado alley. Loud storms are the best. Worry when it gets quiet. Same with light and dark. Deep dark thunderstorm then it gets quiet and lightens from black to brown. Prepare
The answer is yes and no, tornadoes sometimes do make sounds like growling or Kaiju howling, but not consistently. In my experience, no 2 ever sound exactly the same. When you hear one up close, the raw, bone-shaking experience and the sound will never leave you. In my opinion, it's always been a cross between a freight train going 60 mph past you from 8 feet away and the 2 P&W f100/229 engines of a F15-Enhanced Strike Eagle ramping up for a catapult take-off from a carrier. Of course, I've never personally seen anything larger than a F3 (not up close anyway), so those noisemakers? No idea...
If you guys want to see what it's like in real life, there was a great Discovery channel reality show from a few years ago called Storm Chasers about, well, storm chasers. It lasted a few seasons. Also, another great natural disaster movie you should see is Volcano (1997), with Anne Heche and Tommy Lee Jones.
If you guys like this one, check out "into the storm" (2014). It should be right up your alley. On a sidenote, there will be a sequel of this movie coming out in theaters in july of this year, tentatively called, you guessed it: "twisters".
Never watched you two before, but with the way you two scream like anime schoolgirls meeting a tentacle fiend is adorable! Great reactions. If you're not afraid of a tornado, you've never seen where they have touched. One does in seconds what a hurricane does in hours but rather than being tens of miles wide tornadoes are hundreds of yards wide at the most. We're talking the energy of a nuke, but focused, they are the boot of god.
Born & raised in tornado alley. Yes. They sound horrifying! Even the smaller ones. Kinda like a freight train coming at you! A high F4 or F5? You'll think a fighter jet is coming at ya! And if it's dark....! 😱 I HATE tornadoes!
People always say Rip Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman, but forget to say Rip Eddie Van Halen too (who played on the sound track "Van Halen - Humans Being")
So, fun fact: Twister was written by Michael Crichton, the author and creator of Jurassic Park. Crichton was a highly educated man with a love for science and stories. His ideas are so fun and unique that the stories hold up against time. I particularly enjoy his use of sci-fi in his writing.
I absolutely loved Melissa’s character because when Joe and Bill have that big argument, you can tell she understands why Joe is hanging on to Bill so much because of what she lost as a kid and then the whole Bill kind of confessing his feelings for Joe still then she said, but then the break up was so great because she knew he’ll never truly be happy with her because this is where his heart is I hate that a lot of people didn’t like her because they’re like she’s in the way of Bill and Joe, which wasn’t technically true because when she was trying to break up with Bill, he was trying to hang onto their relationship I remember I was on the road with my dad one time when he was a truck driver and we drove through a town. I don’t remember which one but it got hit by tornado and seen all the distraction and stuff was so sad and people digging through rubble. Meteorologist, which is what they are don’t actually ever go after tornadoes like that you can watch a whole video on meteorologist reacting to tornado movies and one time a team did get too close to a tornado and they did die. They say they will never actually get that close to tornado because they are so unpredictable .
People don’t like Melissa?!?! She’s awesome, just hasn’t found her own man yet. And such a well written character with her own flaws. She’s my favorite character!
@@Anwelei I’m always shocked when she gets shit from people. She handled everything with class and Joe was hanging on to bill every chance she could she was more out of line then Melissa
I always found poor Melissa funny. Talking to her clients while going through all that was a hoot. She clearly doesn't belong there and she bows out gracefully.
TWISTER IS BACK BABY, ANOTHER RE-UPLOAD FROM THE VAULT; THANK YOU TO OUR EDITOR EDUARDO THE GOAT FOR GETTING THIS UP FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AND ONE OF OUR BIGGEST FANS LILLY FOR THE SICK GIFTS!
If you love Philip Seymour Hoffman, and haven’t seen it you should check out almost famous. Brilliant performance, amazing soundtrack and amazing acting.
This is the right time of year to watch this movie with all the tornadoes that have been happening in the past weeks
0:12 - Helen Hunt, an amazing actress. I will die on that hill holding this scene. I know I said this last time, I don’t care, I’m saying it again. I also know that I said last time that I LOVED the Twister effect studio in Universal, I was SO UPSET when they closed it.

Next, do" The Car" from 1977
For being 1996... The graphics and technology used to make this Movie 🎥 was incredible ⛈️🌪️!!!
Melissa’s whole purpose was to ask all the questions the audience would need answered. The way she accepted the break up, she’s a hell of a woman.
Exactly. Melissa's character is what is known as the "expositionary character." Just like you said, she's there to ask all the question those of us would ask if we were there.
I don’t know. Hard to trust someone who can’t work when there are flying cows…🥴
Fantastic character indeed.
Well being a sex shrink she'd understand better than most lol.
I think that's why her being a therapist made sense, too. It was acceptable to think she was capable of thinking everything through ahead of time. Making her decision to end it seem less sudden.

@@Sgt_Glory Toto/Dorothy.
28 years old and Twister still holds up.
They don't make movies like this anymore, it's a lost art that really needs to come back.
It is my favorite Pepsi ad of all time
They still make movies like this, its just they get drowned out by tons of hyped garbage. @@antwanjenkins6735
And it always will.
They’re remaking it 😭😭😭😭
Love this movie, R.I.P Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman ❤️🙏
They are legends!
Twister is the definition of what a summer blockbuster is! They don't make them like this anymore
Twisters is being relesed this year. They paid homage to El Reno in the trailer
Rest in peace to Bill Paxton😔This movie will forever live rent free in my head as a childhood favorite😊
Also RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Two legends gone.
I think 🤔 that the guys would love the 80's Movie 🎥🍿, *Weird Science!!*
Also Eddie Van Halen
I remember watching this movie with my dad, the nostalgia is real
@codesent2125 VH rules. Disco Drools. love disco. Just repeating what I saw on my desk back in high school 😊
I saw this movie in the theaters, in 1996, and when the movie was over and everybody was leaving, I remember hearing one lady say, "That was the longest Dodge Ram commercial I've ever seen in my life." lol
Lmao.....
“If you can’t Dodge it Ram it
It's a shame they don't build trucks like that anymore 😔
Bless her heart 😂
I saw it at a drive in as a kid. It changed me.
Fun fact. Twister 1:43 and Independence Day came out together at the cinema. It was amazing!
I watched each at least 4 times in the theater.
@@franticrage731996 was a fun year for movies, music, TV.... Man, I miss the 90s!
It was actually a really good summer for movies. I saw both in theaters as well. I still think it holds up. ❤
Both great movies . Today anything? I don't have a tv so no
Idea what's out there
Oh we were well fed!!!
Alan Ruck is also in Speed as the tourist, and the dad who dies at the beginning in Twister is the detective in Speed who says there's a section missing. Director Jan de Bont directed this film along with directing Speed.
Seen this and Speed countless times and never noticed that.
I live in a tornado zone. It’s not fun when the sirens go off. It takes seconds to completely destroy someone’s livelihood. There is no other sound like a real tornado. Terrifying.
that's so freaky, bro! I've gotta deal with earthquakes, mudslides, and giant fires. But a tornado attack is legit too terrifying to comprehend.
We deal with hurricanes
I loved through Hurricane Andrew (Cat5) in the 90s
The before, during and after
Not fun at all
Out of all the movies they keep re-releasing in the theaters for anniversaries, this movie is one I would LOVE to see back in the theaters. Can’t wait to see the “twisters “ movie, even if it has nothing to do with this movie.
Hi guys, I was a photo journalist for KSWO channel 7 Lawton Oklahoma and met a lot of professional storm chasers and they really are crazy without being stupid 😂😂
I lived in Lawton for one year. The scariest year I ever lived through! Coming from Ohio and moving to Oklahoma.... the amount of times the siren went off in that one year was astounding to me. Funnily enough, I only experienced my first tornado after I left Lawton and went back to Ohio!
F-5 tornadoes are by far the most scary twisters ever to hit the U.S. infact the mini tornado inside the giant one in the film was a window into what is actually inside a tornado actually mini tornadoes are really inside EF - 5 twisters and act as batteries inside the giant twister acting as an engine inside the F - 5 TORNADOES eye. So giant F-5s actually having a cyclonic engine to double the power of the twister itself imagine that Octokrool 🤔😉👌
Twister is one of the most exciting movies out there, especially seeing it on the big screen. One of my top favorites. Loved Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in this. They are missed.
One word for this film: Iconic. “Things go wrong!!! You can’t explain it!!!! You can’t predict it!!!” Makes me think of Bill’s passing 😢
Tornados sound like a roaring train going by without the the horn. The scariest Tornado are the rain wrapped ones at night. I knew a guy that got away from one and said his car was saying he was going 80 mph and the car was actually going 20 because of the wind force.

Mother Nature can be a real b**ch.
Midwesterners all know someone who has lived through a tornado. There was just one that tore the roof of of a FedEx warehouse about 90 miles from me this afternoon. And everyone describes the sound as a mix between a whistle and a roar.
Twister is in my top 3 movies. I love having background noise while I'm doing things if I don't have anything else its pretty much always Twister.
The soundtrack is bumping led by the mighty Van Halen tracks Humans Being & Respect the Wind. RIP EVH 🎸
Respect the Wind is pure passion. One of the few films that I always watch the credits because of that song.
Respect the wind deserves complete moment of silence.
5:23 Good catch! One of the sounds they used to make the tornado sounds was actually a lion roaring.
They also used jet engines and several other types of animals, to add that eerie organic sound to it all.
I've never experienced a tornado, personally, but I've often heard people say they sound like a freight train.
In February of 2013, we had an EF4 that was half a mile wide. My mom, older sister and I hid in my sisters closet and it sounded like a freight train. Thankfully no one got killed, yet about 71 people were injured.
The movie that taught me that “an F5 tornado is the finger of god” 🌪️
May 3 1999
Yeah, the middle finger
Joplin, MO, May 2011. 1 mile wide. 200 MPH winds.
Watch Ryan Hall Y'all. He is a meteorologist that tracks these storms with a group of storm chasers. He is so professional❤.
"it's a wonder of nature, baby!"
I say this every time there's a bad thunderstorm. Lol
Tornadoes sound like oncoming trains, including the whistle, because of the tornado alarm. We tend to never get anything above an F-2 in Michigan, but those are scary enough
Memory unlocked of having this on VHS and being obsessed with it as a kid lol. Great flick!!! 🌪🐄🌪🛻🌪
Did you want to study meteorology after watching it for years too? Like I was watching the weather channel after this all the time 😂
This is and forever will be my comfort movie. Have a cold and got a sick day? Stay home and watch this. 👍🏽
Saw this in the theater long time ago. , big screen, surround sound. Floor shaking. It was awesome. I felt like I was in there.
This movie kicked off the storm chasing craze, and while genuine storm chasers admit its kinda stupid and gets the science quite wrong, it’s still beloved. When Bill Paxton died, a whole bunch of storm chasers plotted routes to spell out “BP” on GPS.
It also sold a ton of Dodge Rams.
In a different life, I would totally be a storm chaser!! I’ve been a weather nerd all of my life. I used to stand out in the back yard and watch the storm clouds and lightning, while my mom is at the back door screaming for me to come in the house, 😂 Love this movie.
They actually tried something similar to Dorothy in the 70s and 80s called TOTO (Totable Tornado Observatory), but never worked. The 3 sensor deploy units from this movie can be seen on display at The National Weather Center in Norman, OK. The guy on TV at 5:11 is Gary England, he was a meteorologist in Oklahoma, my home state for 41+ years before he retired. F5 tornadoes are really rare. The Fujita scale started in 1971 and only 67 total have ever been recorded. Also, unless it is your very last option, don't take shelter under overpasses because the windspeeds can actually increase due to the Venturi effect.
The Steak and Eggs scene at Aunt Megs is iconic!
This film also had an awesome soundtrack. I still bump "Long Way Down" by GooGoo Dolls!
As a Floridan who is very familiar with both this movie and the old Universal Studios ride, this is gonna be a joy to seem them experience this movie for the first time.
I went to see this in the theater with my sister in high school, but we told our parents we saw First Knight. We were good kids, so we were tickled that we pulled one over on our parents. LOL GREAT MOVIE!!!
Some facts about this movie first it broke a lotta theater speakers because of the volume and secondly when bill paxton died 2000 storm chasers used gps blips to carve out bp into corn fields as a thank you for being in this
When Bill Paxton died the stormchasers across the US did a homage to him that could be seen on the live map.
Also fun fact: despite how the villain of this movie died, no stormchaser was ever killed by a tornado until the El Reno tornado and those storm chasers were actually attempting to do what Bill did with Dorothy.
Just wanted to tell you guys thank you for everything you do. I lost my dad to cancer a couple of weeks ago and you both have given me some much needed positivity and laughs with your reactions during these hard times. This movie holds a special place in my heart as I remember watching this with my dad when it came out. It was the first movie to be released on DVD.
Thank you Chris and Curtis!
Sorry for your loss. I wish the best for you.
This is one of those movies that never gets old for me. I can watch it over and over.
Still have this movie on VHS
Me too among many others . U might want to check online as a lot of them ( if u have ur old collection) on vhs are worth quite a bit of money.
I have it on bluray :)
If you ever get a chance to catch this film in a return to theaters, jump on it! This film was made to be an experience in theater.
It was a crazy experience seeing this in the theater because during the drive-in scene, the whole screen rips away, and you're literally staring at a big movie screen. And in the next room over you could hear big booms from another movie. It felt like a tornado might rip through your screen at any second!
Melissa could have easily become the wicked witch of the west, but instead she's curious and asks questions that the audience wants to know the answers to, she's freaked out but rightly so in these situations, and she doesn't hate Jo for being the ex or Bill for getting back with her. And we love her for all of that.
One of my favorite scenes in this movie is where they're at Meg's farm house having breakfast.
If you’ve seen The Princess Bride, you should recognize the farm boy Wesley here.
or Robin Hood: Men in Tights or if you where a fan of the TV show Pysch
@@DanielRichards644 Come on son!
@jeanine6328 the thing is they've reacted to Men in Tights, they haven't (as far as I can tell) done Princess Bride
I always recognized him from the movie glory
@@putitinreverseterry you’re the second person I’ve heard that from recently. Heck, maybe it was you! 😳
The reason tornadoes make the sounds they do is because they are quite literally scouring the Earth of rock and soil with wind. Far away, it'll sound like a distant jet engine, but as soon as it comes close, its very low central pressure combined with the dirt and debris it is picking up will cause the bone-rattling train rumble everyone describes. You have to experience one with professional storm chasers to understand how intense it is.
I saw this in theaters when I was thirteen. The sky was dark when the movie let out, and I remember feeling a little nervous as we walked to the car that there could be a tornado hiding in the dark like the one in the drive-in scene.
I wonder how many people would say that they would chase a tornado and then just turn around as soon as they actually see one.
I love that you are watching a tornado movie as I live in Oklahoma during tornado season
I used to get physically sick when we had bad weather. Then at 9, we had the worst storm ever. I had thrown up at least twice before they finally sent out a Tornado Warning. It didn’t hit us, but we could hear it. I’ve been in love with storms ever since. I take photos of clouds/storms/lightening. This movie became my dream❤
My nephew is 9 and he's been afraid of and gotten sick during bad weather ever since he was 3. Im glad to hear that someone made it out of that phase and loves weather. I hope my nephew eventually has the same love u do for weather.
@@nluna75 I hope so! I’m not sure what changed for me. The only explanation I have is maybe adrenaline? But I would NOT want your nephew to go through that. I don’t know if I would still be afraid of them or not had I not experienced that storm. It just totally flipped for me.
@@stormy_daydreams A few years ago we had a tornado here in central texas and we were all in the middle of it and his fear was still there. To be fair everyone was scared that day.
Crazy how at the title screen you talked about dads dying and, the first scene in this is her dads demise. kinda eerie. love the video as always.
Have you ever seen just the trailer for "Twister"? We ALL had to see the film after that.
I've watched this on VHS...this was a good time
This is the definition of a very fun and entertaining blockbuster.
The Storm chasers, especially the one played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, were just undeniably fun!
Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt had undeniably awesome chemistry, then you add the lovely Jami Kurtz to the triangle, and it was just hot fun all around!
For anybody who doesn't keep up with the chasing community, Barnswall OK was decimated by an EF4 just a couple days ago. Jo is talking about possibly getting warning lead times up as high as 15 minutes in this movie.
Barnswall had _44 minutes_ of lead time.
It's incredible how far the science has come in the last 30 years.
This movie inspired so many of today's storm chasers into the business.
When Bill Paxton storm chasers in the Midwest lit up their GPS beacons to spell "Bill Paxton" on the ground.
Rest in peace Bill Paxton. Legend.
The paradox of this being one of my top comfort films… and Toby stressing me out so dang much every time!
I live in Dixie Alley and Twister was a major influence for me getting into storm chasing here in the south along with the events of April 27th where I was in the original path of the Tuscaloosa EF4 if it remain eastward rather than moving slightly north. The lightning in the beginning literally gets that bad to where its non stop or "Strobe-Lightning" as I call it.
YES! Tornados DO make noise. They sound like a freight train.
My Mom grew up in tornado country and said she had tornados jump over her house many times. (Those who know her say no tornado would dare go after Mom. 🤣🤣🤣) She said it was less like animal roars than a freight train passing over your house, for what it’s worth. That could be how long the noise lasts, though.
Watched this as a kid and decades later I still can't hear wind chimes without thinking of this movie. I always liked that they touch on the human aspect of the devastation left behind by tornadoes. (My only gripe is that the random leather belts and piping saved them from an F5???)
I loved watching Stormchasers on The Discovery channel. One team leader died chasing a tornado. I was trying to film a tornado from the inside (the eye) in IMAX. If I rememeber correctly he managed to do it but died shortly after. It was always fun seeing the teams trying to beat eachother to the tornados.
This movie was so much better in theaters I was 15 when it came out and it's still one of my favorites
I’m 37 I know this movie wells for word. Love this movie
RIP Bill Paxton
Yesss this movie was my favorite as a kid and rewatching it now it's still just as amazing! Love the story, the visuals, the soundtrack, the cast! My mom has always been told her whole life she looks identical to Helen Hunt and she really does! (fun fact lol) I love your guys' sense of humor and positive demeanors! Every time I'm feeling down or in a funk, I always watch you guys and I'm always in a better mood and laughing my ass off. So glad you guys covered this movie and can't wait to see what's next! :)
When I lived in Nebraska I went through a few tornados. Yes, they sound like that. After spending the night in the basement once I came out in the morning to see the top half of our chimney standing up in the corn field.
I saw this when it came out. Still one of my favorites. Effects STILL look good after 1996. Glad you watched this one. Listen to the soundtrack-amazing music. The obnoxious one who died-same actor who was the star in The Princess Bride-Cary Elwes.
Ah… home sweet home. Im from the Missouri Bootheel. I’ve helped rebuild my Aunt and Uncle’s house 3 times.
I used to live in Wakita and also go to see some of the sets being built. A couple of funny things is the sign shows a population of almost 600 and Wakita at the most had around 525 in the mid 80's and has been on a decline since. The movie crew cam into town and basically cleaned up the whole town. They didn't show any of the sets they built in the movie......the whole downtown had a complete makeover where they added 2nd and 3rd floors to the buildings (just just fake) and filled in blank spots between the buildings. They made the whole downtown area look about 2X the size it actually is. The street Meg lives on they ended up tearing down almost all the houses to build fake houses for the movie. When they are leaving Meg's house (around 23:07 in your review) and turning left on to Main street the big house you see with the wrap around porch never existed and was another set piece. They did all kinds of set pieces that they never showed, they just showed the aftermath of blowing up all of the sets to show the tornado's destruction. Wakita still holds an Old Settlers day every year and the tornado chasers show up to help celebrate and also to also see the Twister museum that is still open (mostly by appointment).
My scariest tornado experience living in Michigan was my older sister racing 90+ miles down I-94 trying to out flee a F2 tornado. I'm seating in the back watching this monster throwing a semi truck into a ditch feeling her 94 cavalier being pushed towards it.
This is such a good movie and i love that they didn't make bill's new love interest a unlikable person very well written
That's a radar Doppler in the beginning....it detects moving objects by a Doppler effect (frequency changes of the radar electromagnetic waves boucing nack on the objects) ! nice reaction guys ! awesome movie i saw in the theater in 1996 !
You have no idea how much happiness I screamed when I saw this in my notifications. I absolutely LOVE this movie ❤
4:57
My mom has a picture of me at about 3 years old, standing on a desk she had facing a wide window, with my hands over my ears, staring out the window at the thunderstorm.
One of my favorite sounds, and the first type of sound I ever owned on a CD specifically for the sake of the ambience; an hour long thunderstorm that put me to sleep many times. 💙💙
Twister was my introduction to DVD. My first dvd I ever owned in 1998. My player and the movie was about 630$. What a time !!!!
My mom is almost 102 and I appreciate you showing the old girl a good time. Thanx bro.
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 perfect
My daughter and I went out to see this in a refurbished old theater in which the owner had installed the latest and greatest sound system and it was fabulous. We felt like we were in the twister with the sound of the wind swirling around us. It was such fun.
I did not know who Phillip Seymour Hoffman was, but seeing him in this movie I thought he was the best, most realistic thing about it besides the look of the tornado and I made the comment, "That guy will win an Oscar some day."
I was in high school in the US midwest and we had a substitute teacher who was from a different part of the country. We commented on the sky saying it was tornado weather and she was like "What?, You're kidding right?" and we explained that no we weren't, when the sky appears green that is a sign of tornado weather.
I live in Oklahoma and back in 2010 we had a normal spring tornado day and night . I was asleep and my daughter who was 3 at the time came running down the hall yelling daddy there is a train driving through the house there is a train driving through the house. We lost a fence trampoline part of the roof and my ac unit was in the middle of the street.
March of 1990 it started to rain in Wakita, the we got quite a bit of lightning....the wind picked up and it started to hail. The hail was easily 1" plus size and the wind picked up. The hail was shredding the shingles off the roofs, windows and windshields were being destroyed along with the trees. Then it went completely silent. We were looking around outside to check out the damage and looked out to the east side of town and saw the tornado heading north east. It took our power out for over a week.
I love this movie so much. I always felt kind of bad for Melissa. She really didn't do anything wrong lol she seems like a lovely lady.
Last night a twister went right over my apartment. No warning, sound asleep. I heard a train in my dreams and woke up just as it hit. No time to run for the bathroom . It nearly took the roof off. Devastation all around. Couldn't find the cat for an hour. But we're all ok and clean up began this morning. I'm in Orlando and it's my second one here. It just gets added to the 8 hurricanes I've been thru. Not here but also 1 earthquake, 1 flood, 1 volcano, hurricane at sea and 3 blizzards. Ah life is fun 😅
Freaking Twister I haven't seen this in a long time bruh great reaction I can't wait for the next Twister movie. R.I.P Bill Paxton🙏🏿
The new twister movie won't be very good.
Right movies are bad these days.
I want the new one to be good, but I just don't think it's possible to capture the energy of the original. At least, I have serious doubts that current filmmakers can do it justice.
They can't make the movie good without the OG actors😔
Here to say it blew my expectations away. Already knew it would be a different take and the take it made, was the perfect summer popcorn eating blockbuster we needed in the shitty times were in right now. Much needed & sure it wasnt perfect but its defintely a good homage to the original.
The look ok dustys face when he says "it looks to hit wakita head on...." is heartbreaking 😢 when the guy that can't take anything serious gets scared, you know it's bad
Twister II: The Reckoning. A baby chick grows up to seek vengeance against the tyranny of the twisters, driven by the memory of seeing his father, along with his entire flock, disappearing up the suck zone of one. Rated R.
I'd watch that lol
I was stuck outside just this week in a hail storm. I had to pick up my kids and they come out from different sides of the building so I had to walk all the way around getting hit by it. Yeah it hurts.
This is one of my all time favorite movies! Saw it in the theater and it was glorious!!!
RIP Bill Paxton ❤
I live tornado alley. Loud storms are the best. Worry when it gets quiet. Same with light and dark. Deep dark thunderstorm then it gets quiet and lightens from black to brown. Prepare
The special effects in this movie are top notch. Better than most CGI today
"if anything happens to toby i'm done with this movie"😂😂😂😂 BEST LINE EVER
I remember seeing this in theaters when I had a sleepover at a friends house. This movie still holds up!
Love this movie. We used to have friends over, have steak and eggs for dinner and have a watch party. VERY excited for Twister 2!!!!!!!!!!!
The answer is yes and no, tornadoes sometimes do make sounds like growling or Kaiju howling, but not consistently. In my experience, no 2 ever sound exactly the same. When you hear one up close, the raw, bone-shaking experience and the sound will never leave you. In my opinion, it's always been a cross between a freight train going 60 mph past you from 8 feet away and the 2 P&W f100/229 engines of a F15-Enhanced Strike Eagle ramping up for a catapult take-off from a carrier. Of course, I've never personally seen anything larger than a F3 (not up close anyway), so those noisemakers? No idea...
I turned 40 yesterday and damnit, this movie is still as awesome as when I saw it in the 90's. RIP Mr. Bill P.
If you guys want to see what it's like in real life, there was a great Discovery channel reality show from a few years ago called Storm Chasers about, well, storm chasers. It lasted a few seasons.
Also, another great natural disaster movie you should see is Volcano (1997), with Anne Heche and Tommy Lee Jones.
The 2nd most important thing to chasers: FOOD!
(Some of them eat 3 burger patties before long streams 😁)
If you guys like this one, check out "into the storm" (2014). It should be right up your alley. On a sidenote, there will be a sequel of this movie coming out in theaters in july of this year, tentatively called, you guessed it: "twisters".
Never watched you two before, but with the way you two scream like anime schoolgirls meeting a tentacle fiend is adorable! Great reactions. If you're not afraid of a tornado, you've never seen where they have touched. One does in seconds what a hurricane does in hours but rather than being tens of miles wide tornadoes are hundreds of yards wide at the most. We're talking the energy of a nuke, but focused, they are the boot of god.
Born & raised in tornado alley. Yes. They sound horrifying! Even the smaller ones. Kinda like a freight train coming at you! A high F4 or F5? You'll think a fighter jet is coming at ya! And if it's dark....! 😱 I HATE tornadoes!
People always say Rip Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman, but forget to say Rip Eddie Van Halen too (who played on the sound track "Van Halen - Humans Being")
So, fun fact: Twister was written by Michael Crichton, the author and creator of Jurassic Park. Crichton was a highly educated man with a love for science and stories. His ideas are so fun and unique that the stories hold up against time. I particularly enjoy his use of sci-fi in his writing.
I absolutely loved Melissa’s character because when Joe and Bill have that big argument, you can tell she understands why Joe is hanging on to Bill so much because of what she lost as a kid and then the whole Bill kind of confessing his feelings for Joe still then she said, but then the break up was so great because she knew he’ll never truly be happy with her because this is where his heart is
I hate that a lot of people didn’t like her because they’re like she’s in the way of Bill and Joe, which wasn’t technically true because when she was trying to break up with Bill, he was trying to hang onto their relationship
I remember I was on the road with my dad one time when he was a truck driver and we drove through a town. I don’t remember which one but it got hit by tornado and seen all the distraction and stuff was so sad and people digging through rubble.
Meteorologist, which is what they are don’t actually ever go after tornadoes like that you can watch a whole video on meteorologist reacting to tornado movies and one time a team did get too close to a tornado and they did die. They say they will never actually get that close to tornado because they are so unpredictable .
People don’t like Melissa?!?! She’s awesome, just hasn’t found her own man yet. And such a well written character with her own flaws.
She’s my favorite character!
@@Anwelei I’m always shocked when she gets shit from people. She handled everything with class and Joe was hanging on to bill every chance she could she was more out of line then Melissa
I always found poor Melissa funny. Talking to her clients while going through all that was a hoot. She clearly doesn't belong there and she bows out gracefully.
@@ruthsaunders9507 I love Melissa she is probably one of my favorite characters next to dusty
