Hey Twister Fans! We have finally uploaded our Twister Museum video. We see a screen used Jo's Jeep, screen used Dorothy I, meet a couple of the actors from the movie, and see all of the amazing things the museum has collected over the years. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/5x1zgR5E6ZE/видео.html
Only just found your channel. Channel's like yours are worth their weight in gold. Thanks for the work and content sir.
On your way too or heading back from Maysville, ya should have made a stop at the University of Oklahoma. They have both Dorthy 1 and 2 on display, along with other "Twister" memorabilia. I still enjoyed the video.
I took a road trip to Wakita 5 years ago, just to see the village up close and personal. I found it fascinating that its real history is very unlike that depicted in the movie: Wakita has never been hit by a twister once in over 100 years. There is something about an ancient Native-American spell cast over the land, shielding it from tornado hits. I saw the museum there but did not go in; it was March, so it wasn't open for the season yet.
Twister and mars attacks what are the first two
4:55 looks like Bill’s truck but Dorothy isn’t in the back lol
Fun fact. Twister was the first movie ever released on DVD.
You serious?
@@JSPena Yes I am. It is the first commercial theatre move released on DVD.
Very true remember they made a big deal about it in the UK
Damn I totally forgot that little piece of history 😳
I think I owned it when it came out. I wore that disc the fuck out
RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman ❤️ Dusty was my favorite character in this movie
This movie taught me one important lesson. Roll the damn maps!
Exactly. We don’t need ANY creases through Kansas!

Hello fellow Twister lovers. Looks like we all grew up on the same movie.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman! Thank you for making this video. Twister is one of my all time favorite movies ever.
25 years?! Wow. I remember seeing this when it came on in theaters as a kid and what an experience! and Bill Paxton... man, do we miss you!!!!!
The actual tornado that hit the grain silos in the bridge scene occurred on the 14 year anniversary (May 10, 2010) of the release of the movie Twister. It was just one of 42 tornadoes to occur that day. Other tornadoes touched down near Wakita, OK.
Awesome info, Greg! Thank you for sharing! I had read about that tornado at some point, but was beginning to wonder if I’d remembered it incorrectly or made it up altogether in my head, haha! Glad to have confirmation 🙏.
I remember when I was 6 I watch this movie on VHS to death. Dispute being 30 now Still watch this movie whenever I have the chance.
Ya gotta love this movie. No sequel, no prequel, it’s all in here. The 90’s turned out a lot of forgettable-unforgettable movies and this could take the cake.
I agree. That’s a perfect way to describe Twister.
One year later we're getting a sequel. lol. You willed it into existence.
Coming in 2024 lol
@whitetigergrowl Dude you literally beat me to this comment by THREE HOURS lol
I love this movie. It's so camp, but in the best possible way. Used to watch it on endless repeat for a random semi-autistic obsessive puzzle challenge I put myself into. "Can I do a complete jigsaw puzzle in the span of one movie?" (It happened to be Twister.) Uh... no. ...I know, watch it again!! ...and again... and again...
No idea how many times it took, but by the end, Twister was my go-to puzzle watching movie. 😂 (I was bored as a child.)
Yeah...about that.
“You used to be able to match up the silos and tree line here but an actual tornado came through and took it all out.”
As an Okie and Twister lover, I must say, that might be the best description of Oklahoma that I’ve ever heard. A film about chasing tornadoes captures footage of real world locations that will be destroyed by a real tornado within a quarter century of its filming.
I read an old article interviewing Kathleen Kennedy who was a producer on Twister. They asked her why they chose Oklahoma to film there and she was like “it’s Oklahoma…” 😂
Nah. The tornado just wanted to remember when it took part of the movie and returned to location. It was nostalgic...
@@GoingtotheMovies What better than the tornado capital of the world.
@@ItsIdaho Texas doesn't get more? Oklahoma is not the tornado capital.
@@ItsIdaho Florida is the waterspout capital of the world. We get more waterspouts than any other state or country in the world, hence the name.
The only movie i can watch over and over and over and over again and not get bored
So sad we lost Bill Paxton way to soon 🌪🌪🌪
And Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Imagine a sequel where he mentors young storm chasers on their journey, and then they run into an EF-5 tornado

Yes! When they showed that scene on the bridge I was hoping they’d include that scene as well.
@@josecarrilloii4036 "You know honey when you told me you used to chase twisters, deep down inside of me I always thought it was a metaphor."
This was one of those movies that I never get tired of. I was a kid when this came out.
Same!
😢😢😢😢😢😮
Same, I was 9. I was obsessed with this movie!
When COVID is over I totally wanna take a trip like this!!! Twister was my life and still is my favourite movie
It’s totally worth it!!!
the ending was made in my home town in iowa
The scene diner scene and tire shop was filmed in maysville Oklahoma just south of Norman Oklahoma the tire shop is still there but the diner is gone but you can make out the floor tiles of where it was also the flag pole is still there in the distance the same one bill looks at when he says going green
I know the movie word for word lol
Go now.
Facts: this movie scared the crap out of 11 yr old me. One of the first very well done cgi films I had ever seen. One of my personal favorites today. Glad you guys decided to revisit film locations. Pretty cool.
Eddie Van Halen Bill Paxton Philip Hoffman Rest In Peace
Eddie's song "Respect the Wind" during the end credits was burned in my brain for about 6 months after I saw this in theaters.
I appreciate how well you matched up the movie stills with real life. So many of these movie scene people do not do that, and they are like 20 miles off from the movie, and it drives me up the wall, as well as it's so confusing especially when you're dealing with 30-45 year old movies.
Thanks, HuskyGamersUNITE! I think I've gotten much better at much up the shots since we did this one!
This is such an underrated documentary. As a Twister superfan, this is awesome!! Thank you for making this!!
Thank you for checking it out!
Everyone around me was so sick of this movie cause I was watching it constantly it was a big part of my childhood. I miss you Bill 😢
absolutely loved this movie and its cast. perfect 90s film. Rip Bill Paxton
Twister will forever be a loved classic that can be re-watched over and over again in my eyes. Thanks for the video and work you put into the research !
Twister was definitely an awesome movie. I hope they rerelease it to theatres this year, so that way my niece and nephews can enjoy the same movie-watching experience i had when it first came out. I'm saddened by the fact that Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman are not with us to celebrate this movie theater masterpiece.
I’d love to see it in a theater for the first time!
@@GoingtotheMovies it was an awesome experience.
May 21st, 2024!
Everytime this movie comes on…MY FAMILY and I watch it! It never gets old man! I love this, thank you! And we all RECORDED it too, on our tv.
Hard to believe it’s been 25 years. This was a must see movie as a high school senior, because of my interest in tornadoes and my love of VH. I still watch it every time it’s on tv.
Loved the video editing behind matching the scenes! Can't believe it's been 25 years and that Paxton and PSH are gone 😢
Time sure does fly! There will never be enough Bill Paxton or Philip Seymour Hoffman movies.
I just checked on IMDB, and Lois Smith, the lady that played Aunt Meg, is still living, the only main actors that have passed away are Bill Paxton & Philip Seymour Hoffman
Wow! She is 90 now!
Adele Stackhouse in True Blood.
Eli McCulloughs daughter. She's a badass on "The Son" with James Bon....Pierce Brosnan.
This movie was ahead of its time
I can’t believe there is someone that goes out their way to do this stuff. Pretty cool!
I Still Can't Believe Bill Paxton Has Passed On . Rest In Paradise.
There are so many classic lines from twister. From "We got cows" to "we are going green" to "rabbit is good, rabbit is wise" to "he's a corporate kiss butt man". Just so many. New subscriber here great content and can't wait to see your channel grow.
Thanks, Kale! Glad to you have you on board! My favorite line is "imminent rue-age," haha!
*"Where's my truck?"*
- *Jo Harding (Helen Hunt)*
Corporate kiss butt is classic 😂😂😂 “it’s the wonders of nature baby!”
"Our days of sniffin' the dirt are over" and a guy replies "better than what you sniff" i say the latter almost monthly
“Bob’s Road” is my favorite!
So deeply thankful for Bill Paxton. From my perspective, a legendary actor!! Dude was killed by Alien, Predator and Terminator!! He was an extraordinary, talented, diverse, intelligent actor. His role in Near Dark is one of my all time favorite characters. I'm thankful He shared his talent with the world.
"Dude was killed by Alien, Predator and Terminator!!"
Also by Phill Coulson in the MCU.
He was in Terminator?
@@marcjohnson643 One of the three punks at the start of the film that provide the Terminator his clothing.
He was also blown up in a Pat Benatar video where he played a German officer.
Also directed one of my favorite movies in the 2000s, Frailty. I think the only movie Paxton directed. The guy had talent. Very missed by me. He made every movie he was in better.
I’m here because this was my favorite movie as a kid. Great detective work. 👊🏻
Twister is my all time favorite movie! My brothers and I recorded it as kids and watched that tape so many times. I need to make a trip out there to see all these spots in person. Thank you for this video! RIP Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman 🙏🏻❤️
I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s definitely worth a visit!
The last sequence in the movie, the F5 tornado....that scene was filmed just 10 minutes aways from me in Eldora, IA. That now famous Victorian house, what we call the 'Twister House' is still there. It's been restored to a beautiful blue color. Look it up sometime.
I’ve got a map of all the spots in Iowa, so we’re excited to hit those eventually!
Twister was the first movie my family saw together in the theater and still remains as my favorite film. I was a teen at the time. I still have the theater ticket.
The movie used some scenes from when the Tornado hit Edmonton in 1987, known as Black Friday July 31,1987. They used news footage from that event. My house had it's roof & siding tore off. My shed was blown away. Worst thing I have ever lived though. Scary!
I think that might have been when Pennsylvania had it's largest known tornadoes.
I always tell my Twister story. Back when it came out, my older brother and 1 of my younger brothers went to see it in the theatre. It was the late afternoon movie. Once we got outside from the movie, the tornado sirens were going off. A small tornado touched down in Fairmont, MN out in a field. It was during the classic car show in a town just north of us. It was awesome. Way to tugg on the emotions Going to the Movies :). Great video.
Haha! Thank you for sharing that story, kootybear. And, glad you enjoyed the video! I got rear ended on the way to see Whiplash several years ago. It definitely augmented the experience! 😂
I’m so excited you found these locations! This is amazing! Also, 14:46 “what is this” had me dying 😂
Haha! That poor thing... whatever it was 😭
Jo s childhood House at the beginning was filmed near Wakita the house isn’t there but one of the silo things is still there

Will always be my favorite movie of all time. Thanks for sharing these locations.
I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. My jaw just dropped when the first tornado appeared. It was so good, you couldnt tell it was CGI.That summer had 2 major blockbusters. This and Jurassic Park.
My niece and I are going to see Twisters when it comes out this summer. But nothing beats the original. Never will.
still my nr.1 movie ever...its just so timeless and fun
This movie was an awesome experience in the theater back in the day. Nonetheless, rest in peace to Bill Paxton, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
My brothers loved this film as kids. We rented it at movie rental store and watched it over and over.
The night Twister released to rent on direct tv (was prime star back then), my house was taken by a tornado.
Great job on the video!
That sounds terrible! I can't even imagine what I'd do if that happened. An EF4 passed a few miles from our apartment last year. That was scary enough!
Really cool. Twister is a big childhood movie for me, maybe even the most memorable watch when I was 4.
Love this! I wish they would do a 4K release of this film!
In reference to the scene shot just outside of Ames Iowa where the f5 spared to ranch house, and you see the family coming out of the storm cellar after it passes. My sister in law was supposed to play the part of the ranchers wife, but was sick on the day of shooting and got her friend to fill in for her.
I love this movie and so doesnt my kids. This movie will never die. ❤
Scott on Tape sent me here. I saw Twister and I come runnin'!
Thanks for coming by! I love Twister and Scott is the COOLEST! 😎
This was so well done and it was an excellent walk down memory lane. Like so many others, Twister was one of my favorite films as a kid; I still have my VHS, lol. Thanks for your dedication and hard work.
Twister is one of my favorite movies I watch it every now and then. Great actors they did a fabulous job with that movie.
They sure did, Deb!
This movie gaves me some kind of fascination for tornadoes. I was a kid when i first watched it. I saw Twister dozens of times. Is one of my favourite movies
Th is incredible. Really reopened some fond memories of this beloved movie that I’ve seen an almost embarrassing amount of times, lol. Thank you for this!!!
Hahaha, there is never too much Twister!
Me and my girlfriend at the time and now my wife, we both went to the theater to see Twister. Watching that cow fly across on the BIG theater screen was pretty amazing. Lol
Great great times. Can't believe it's been 26 years ago, wow.
Excuse me, 25 years ago. Lol!
This is one of my favorite movies. Thanks for doing this video. This movie got me interested in severe weather and storm chasing. Still chasing to this day when I have time when I’m not working or fishing.
I was about 3-4 when this movie came out and almost burned out my parents VCR rewatching it. Still my favorite movie till this day...
My favorite movie!!! This was so SATISFYING
Twister was the first movie ever released on dvd, (if you didn't know, now you know.)
It was also the last movie released on HD-DVD!
@@GoingtotheMovies I had one of those players lol 😆 at the time I thought "ain't no way Blu-ray is gonna win." LOL, how wrong I was.
@@csbartonorgan83 I remember watching Peter Jackson's King Kong on my uncles HD-DVD player, but I was so late to high definition physical media that my only choice was Blu-Ray when I started collecting 😂
@@GoingtotheMovies seems like a lot of the HD-DVD titles came from Warner Brothers and Universal Studios. Blu-Ray just had more storage capacity.
"The Burger Joint"/Drive In theater, especially the burger joint, is my favorite movie set of all time. It reminds me of my youth where you could experience the incongruous site of a mom and pop restaurant, and even a Drive-In theater, located in the middle of a bucolic, small neighborhood. Thanks.
That was probably my favorite spot to visit as well! The set design for that scene was awesome!
Wasn’t that in Guthrie Oklahoma
@@jarrodbushyhead6928 yep!
@@GoingtotheMovies ok cool. Was the drive in still there or was it built just for the movie. And is the burger joint still there and the motel and the warehouse were they took cover
@@jarrodbushyhead6928 The drive-in, burger joint, motel, and hangar were all built for the movie and taken down afterwards. You can see what it looks like today at 20:40 in the video. Pretty much nothing there except the brick building that you see Bill walk past a couple times.
Summer 1996 the summer right before my senior year man I had so much fun that summer
Twister was the last movie my Dad and I saw in together on May 12, 1996 (I was 27) and then he passed away 3 days later... I have a move poster signed by Bill and Helen framed... Thank you for this video.. My Dad and I were always in awe of storms... He was funny as during the movie he would keep saying "They should not be alive"... LOL
I was also a one time storm chaser, as a member of Sky Warn. While Twister showed the life of a chaser in realistic ways...... the movie made it seem like every storm dropped a tornado. A real chaser can go a whole season if not more and never see a tornadic storm.
I've had no storm chasing experience, but I always thought the amount of tornados they saw within 24 hours was absurd, haha!
@@GoingtotheMovies LOL yeah it was...and they were ALWAYS huge tornadoes, which of course is not the case. However, I DO understand, that if they hadn't exaggerated a bit, the movie would have been dull. AND there have been historical outbreaks, so it COULD have been possible. I really enjoyed your video, Twister is my personal favorite! You did a fantastic job of finding all those key sites, and I for one, appreciate all the time and effort you put it in to it!
Just to add, seven tornadoes did strike the Grand Island, NE area in one night on June 3, 1980..... so guess Twister can get away with it. Sorry, I will hush now, tornadoes just get me fired up! LOL
Haha! They are really cool! If you heard about the big one in Nashville last year, that one passed by my apartment. Only a couple miles away 😬
We went out to Wakita and Kaw Lake on our way back to AZ from Indiana last month. I was so excited to see those 2 sites. There are two bridges that technically cross Kaw Lake so it's refreshing that you got on the right one haha I feel like the perspectives of those shots were done exactly as you described. When we got into Wakita it was night time, but we are headed back out there on an unexpected trip in a couple weeks so I'm excited to see it and talk to people about it during the day!
Haha! I saw that second bridge, but I always try to triple check everything. And, Wakita is great! Make sure to go through the Twister Movie Museum!
This was my favorite movie as a kid.
One of the best movies ever made ( my husband and I think )
It's a good'n, Tina!
RIP Bill Paxton, we miss you, man!
Great job searching and investigate places.

My childhood movie,even today i could watch it and not tire of it.
Rip Bill
This movie never gets old whenever it’s on TV I watch it
This took me back to my childhood! I love your commitment on the locations! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, Aaron!
Your amazing! I watched this film so much as a 90s kid on Vhs. Always loved Helen, Bill and the whole cast. Im from NT Australia ❤ 🇦🇺 I resonated with this film as a kid so much because of the Top end Australian Wet season Cyclones and Monsoons where I was born and lived. Loved that the film always instilled. Mother nature is the most powerful. And now more than ever we must take care of our precious earth. 🌏 Always the best film cast and story! *7:34 Got emotional where Bill stood 🕊Rest in peace. Amazing work on showing the locations!
One of my favorite and also most watched movies. I watch it at least once every year. Always on a hot day with thunderstorms in the air. Tonight is such a night where I live, so you know what that means: Twister time!
🔥🌪🔥
If you go over the hill behind where the Cafe used to be, you will run into the house I grew up in. I grew up in Maysville, and was there for part of the filming (I think I was at church camp one of the weeks). I am not surprised the cafe is gone, it was vacant for many years after, and was a bar for a short period of time. It was pretty run down.
Was gorgeous tho.
I was there a week ago was sad to see the Cafe gone some of the floor tiles are still there the tire shop in the movie is still there just a different color now and the flag pole in the distance is still there
It's the Extreme!! RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
I was 15 when this came out in the summer of 1996. What a time to be alive if you loved disaster flicks, because this movie started off a whole slew of them with Dante's Peak, Armageddon, Volcano, and of course Titanic. I was obviously too young to see Jaws in the theaters, but I feel Twister was my generations version of that theatrical experience. Seeing that cow fly across the screen was quite the sight! Twister always puts me in a happy place when life was really good.
Thank You for share this video clip. My favorite dvd love part fly cows. . So many awesome parts on this film movie. My mom parents had farm few cows and sheep’s. Love animals. And few pigs. Did fantastic job. Never see this on there dvd over years.
I remember seeing this movie in theaters as a kid! Cant believe it's been 25 years. Still love this movie though!
So great that some of the cast were able to make the anniversary. I also sat in on the VFX online panel a few weeks ago. Breakthrough film for both digital artists and atmospheric science majors. It definitely influenced me to become a SKYWARN spotter.
This was such a great time for VFX! Perfect blend of practical and computer generated in my opinion.
Twister 🌪️ definitely one of my favorite movies! ( top 10)
DUDE!!! DUDE!!! You NAILED THESE Filming locations videos! Definitely the best on RUclips with your line ups and movie references and highlighting sections!
You earned a sub from me on this one! Definitely keep making more of these! Definitely the number one on this niche!!!
Thanks, Tiberious!!! That means a lot to us and expect many more!
Good job. A lot of fun to chase these down. Tough shoot. Here's a bit of trivia. The sequence that leads your video at the location where Bill tries to get the divorce papers signed was shot on two locations, 10 to 11 months apart. The Oklahoma portion was shot fairly early in the shoot. In the spring of 1996, we did a number of reshoots/additional shots. That scene had significant additional shooting, and that was done in the hills above Simi Valley. A pair of similar trees were picked that could double for the Oklahoma location as long as the shots weren't wide. Being spring time, all the area was very green. The extra work includes Bill hopping up on the pickup to explain Dorothy to Jamie. All the actors were there except Phillip. You'll notice that you only see his character's shoulder in Jamie's shots that were done shot then. Also shot on this day was an expanded version of the final scene when Bill and Helen realize that they have survived the F5, and are sitting in the ruins of the pump house. Notice that it is sunny backlit while the previous shots and final aerial shot done in Iowa are in cloudy weather. The original basic principle crew members were there for this: director Jan DeBont, DP Jack Green, etc..
Now you have to go to Iowa and find the locations there. Stay clear of the suck zone. ;-)
Thanks for sharing that! That explains why I couldn't figure out exactly where that portion was. Can't wait to hit Iowa!
@@GoingtotheMovies We based out of Ames while there. Places to find there: the "beautiful farm" (which was pretty much destroyed) and "hailstorm hill." We returned to Oklahoma for the Guthrie intersection you found, then on to OKC for the crumbling interior of Aunt Meg's house, and the interior of Bill's pickup crashing through the interior of the "rolling" house. IIRC, those were done at the OKC airport. Not sure of my memory on that, though.
My fav movie ever.. for several reasons. Thank you for this video!
Dude, I’m all smiles on this video. Twister is my all time favorite movie. I grew up watching it and I still cant get enough of it. And I only live about 2-3hours away from most of those locations in Oklahoma. Amazing video! I also love the attention to detail, there’s much I would have missed and never even thought to guess looking there. 10/10 video!
Thank you, Midwest Ordnance! Glad you liked it!
Twenty-five years ! What a fabulous advert for the new Dodge Ram truck too ! That truck was the real star. When we got home from our first viewing I told the wife I'm going to get that truck 😅
My dad must’ve seen it around the time it was released cause that was about the time he bought a red Dodge Ram as well 😂
That movie sold more Dodge trucks than Motor Trend, seriously.
Did you get the truck?
Fact: The farm with the big red barn at the end of the movie where they were running actually got distroyed in real life by a tornado.
😳
Great video! I'm getting excited for Twisters.
Nice video! I've probably watched Twister a hundred times, every single spot you're at is recognizable!
I went to see it four or five times. Seeing the tornadoes on the biggest screen at the theater was really terrifying.
For the lake/Water spouts scene, the power poles are new, they have been changed to Hendrix constructions. It's an insulated wire used to prevent the wires clashing toghter by trees and wind in storms.
I was at the 25th anniversary in Wakita. This man told us Bill was super nice and that Helen Hunt wouldn't have anything to do with the people and stayed away.
I love twister it's the best storm disaster movie of all time.
4:58 ol Bill swung by in a newer truck! And this time a double cab. Probably going to pick up Dorothy 3 and 4.
