    Smith's Grove Sanitarium- I'm a big fan of 'Twister', as well.
    This video was how I first came across your channel & in doing so, I did my due diligence & subscribed to it.
    Keep up the great work...

      Thanks for the sub and the comment. So much love for Twister! I've had a hiatus for a bit but will be coming back to release content here hopefully soon! Life gets in the way sometimes unfortunately.

    Smith's Grove Sanitarium- In the background around 5:25, I noticed what looks like a set of glasses on a DVD box set, or, something like that.
    Maybe it's just me, but, they look like a pair that Randy "The Macho Man" Savage would wear when he makes his way to the ring in a WWE video game, or, something like that.
    I'm a pro wrestling fan & just had to ask about those, so, if it seemed like a completely random question that was just posted, I apologize in advance.

      Sorry I'm just seeing this. They are indeed Macho man glasses. I'm a big wrestling fan. I've worn them a couple time on another channel I do, Macho movie madness. that one is with a group of buddies.

    We just had a tornado come through my town last week. Destroyed my part of my house and yard but luckily no casualties. Always loved this movie though. I definitely need to rewatch this one now

    So without this movie, I wouldn’t have been a storm chaser. Or even known that was even a thing. This also got me into meteorology. This movie is a blast and so much fun

    • @SmithsGrove
      @SmithsGrove  5 месяцев назад

      Definitely. And I’ve heard countless chasers say the same thing. It might be safe to say that this movie helped spawn a whole new generation of chasers and weather study is better off for it. I love and respect the hell out of all you guys. Always been so fascinated by it. I still watch storm chasing streams all the time. Part of me wishes I could be a part of it lol. Like maybe I missed my calling with it 😂

    Twister is very special to me, as it was the first movie I went to watch in the theater when I moved to Los Angeles - to, yep - work in the bizniss. Right there at the Burbank AMC. Welcome to Hollywood, right? :D I bought it just as soon as the VHS tape came out and watched it mostly only in summer, because I wanted to preserve the memory of when I first saw it, and not spoil myself. Funny how you mention some of those other tapes about tornadoes. Blockbuster Video was still around at the time, and I bought all the silly tornado chaser VHS tapes that were slapped together thanks to the success of Twister I could find!

    Great review, man! Twister is one of the first movies I ever saw. I was maybe four when i first saw it and it started my fascination with Tornadoes when I was younger. I love everything about it from the effects, that still hold up to the chatactors to the music. it's all great to me. One thing i did kinda notice while watching your review that I never noticed is that at the end of the movie, the rest of the crew never check to see if Bill and Jo are all right when they drive up being all excited lol I'm also glad you recommended Tornado and Night of The Twisters at the end of the video. I really enjoy those as well, Night of The Twisters is one of my favorite films as well.

    The mom in the beginning in the storm cellar is also the love interest for the super skinny guy in "the perfect storm" she may also be the lady who runs the diner in "Jason goes to hell". I never verify any of this, I just speculate wildly. My girlfriend hates watching movies with me.

    • @SmithsGrove
      @SmithsGrove  Год назад +1

      Same for me and my girlfriend 😂. I'll be like "you know who that is? That's so and so" or "who's that? I've seen them somewhere". This is followed by the biggest eye roll or smart ass remark 😂.
      You are right by the way. At least about the lady that runs the diner. I just watched Jason Goes to Hell the other night, funny enough, and thought the same thing. It's been a long time so I never noticed before. I did verify it for the both of us 😂. Her name is Rusty Schwimmer.

    @francescagatica2799 4 месяца назад +1

    Still to this day one of my favorite disaster movies too. I have to say though that I always hated Jo. She was beyond psychopathic, narcissistic and manipulative, especially towards Bill. All because she could never get over her dad's death. She put herself in danger and the rest of her team members, just for the sake of a mission which was highly risky and unlikely to be done successfully. She wouldn't sign the divorce papers on purpose and gives a sh*t what Bill's fiance thinks or how she feels. I liked Melissa a hell of a lot better than her

    • @SmithsGrove
      @SmithsGrove  4 месяца назад
