TWISTER MOVIE MUSEUM Walkthrough & 25th Anniversary Celebration | Wakita, OK 2021

Back in May, while making our Twister filming locations video, we recorded some of the festivities in Wakita for the 25th Anniversary of the movie. Here is a mashup of all that footage! Unfortunately, I was a lot more focused on the locations video so this one is a little incoherent, but there are some really cool things to see here! You'll see Jo's jeep (SCREEN USED!), a screen used Dorothy I, Sean Whalen and Wendle Josepher, and some really cool things in the museum!
The Twister Movie Museum has been operating since the movie wrapped filming and they still get visitors every day. Any film fan, especially those who love Twister, should make the pilgrimage to visit this great town and museum!

Hard to believe it's been 25 years already!

[@terryeaster1]

That ringing was something we once called a land line kids😁

[@johnd5398]

It was called a land line after cell phones came out. Before that, it was called a "telephone".

[@terryeaster1]

@@johnd5398 that is also true.

[@tcp3059]

Can confirm, Twister is what got me into chasing.

1:57 The Crown Vic with the lights on is a friend of mine’s tracker vehicle. I know 100% he started tracking storms due to the movie. I ran in to him through a storm tracking group we both belonged to back then. I remember him talking about being excited to go to Wakita for the anniversary. I’ve been a tracker for almost 20 years. I didn’t do it because of the movie. I took my wife and kids with me one night tracking storms but I got myself in a bad situation that I couldn’t see the storm and I couldn’t retreat south or east I could only go deeper into the storm. I promised myself to never be in that situation again and I studied and became certified with the nws then I continue to study year over year not to keep anything like a certification going just to keep out of that situation again.

[@Sb129]

That yellow Jeep Truck is one of the coolest trucks I have ever seen, mostly because of the movie but also it really does look cool (better than the Gladiator to me anyways) One day I Will buy either that or the 90s Dodge Ram in red, I so wish I could have gone to it but I will go there one day

[@GoingtotheMovies]

I agree! I’m not a huge truck guy, but that Jeep is amazing. I’m partial to the Dodge Ram too as my dad drove one when I was a kid.

[@thescout4313]

There's a jeep from the film in the car museum in Gatlinburg TN(commented before watching, you mentioned it already)

[@weldhutch2857]

I’ve got one of those twister drink cups from universal studios Florida when they had the ride

[@carlosalbertoorozcorizo8850]

I was very impressed when i saw it in the cinema for the first time and I've been a fan since then of course i also dreamed of one day having a ram truck just like the one in the movie, I have never seen more beatiful wheels on any truck ever

[@ApokalyptikNM]

This movie got me interested in storms.. I have been in some hectic storms (no tornados but the sirens have gone off many times) but I've seen everything from intense winds, so much hail you couldn't see 2feet infront of you, power outages for days at a time or longer.. yeah we cooked hotdogs on the campfire well on a stick it was good, 2019 polar vortex where temperatures were -20 with windchill almost hitting -60 in some areas.. also my parents were in the blizzard of 78 in Ohio, they couldn't see out the window or even leave the house because the snow was up to their roof. The most epic thing I ever saw from a storm was red lightning I been here 28 years and never seen anything like it before with the power outage it looked even better.. After I saw Twister is when I found Reed Timmer and the show with the TIV (Tornado Intercept Vehicle) and til this day I watch anything storm related, like hurricane footage, tornado footage, severe storms (on youtube) and the severe storms with my own eyes which I always love.

[@davidscottnoble303]

I dragged my grandmother to go see this is 1997 when i was 9 years old. in the apollo cinema in Waterloo, Liverpool, UK. She was forever terrified and remembered the flying cows. one of my fondest memories of her. An outstanding film that initially made me pursue meteorology and later film-making. thank you all who made it.

[@Lazylynnfeeders]

Man that’s badass. I was 11 years old and me and my dad went to see it in theaters when it came out. I was a little scary at that age because we live in tornado alley here in the texas panhandle but it was still awesome

[@GoingtotheMovies]

I wish I’d seen it in theaters back in the day!

[@TheNashFiles]

This movie terrified me as a child 😂 cool to see vehicles and props from the movie. “Bill, it’s looking to hit Wakita head on.”

[@GoingtotheMovies]

I was too sad for the cgi cows to watch it as a kid, bro… 🌪🐄🌪😭

[@pheanix69]

Sorry can't talk now we have cows !!

[@dennisthrockmorton9714]

​@@GoingtotheMovies Thankfully the movie was made with CGI instead of having real animals thrown about and injured and they had to be very particular about the tornados and how they were created for the movie they had to look at a lot of photographs to make the twisters move and operate like real life tornados

[@Theblackdahlia1]

Yeah this movie an irrationally fear of tornadoes and thunderstorms but thankfully I grew out of that. I love thunderstorms now, especially if I get the chance to sit out in a rocking chair on the porch and enjoy one nature’s most beautiful and noisy events.

[@randyhunt4535]

I was in Maysville,ok while the movie was being made was so awesome talked to Bill for a min such a very nice person I will never forget it awesome day

[@RonMac08]

I was the third shift maintenance lead at Universal Orlando's Twister show. We had lots of Twister movie memorabilia, including the storm chaser yellow school bus, and the van. Most were sold off when we closed Twister, and the museum might have received some of the items. I used to walk around and check out the props used in the movie. Dorothy and the cow were a pain to work on, especially as the ride aged.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

I wonder when that ride closed. I went to Universal Orlando a couple of times back in the day, but always went to the Islands of Adventure side 😞

[@nottheoriginalhandle]

​@@GoingtotheMovies I know it was there 11 years ago lol

[@lancel71]

This was super cool! I love 'Twister' and I remember seeing it in theaters and in the lobby of the theater they had a mangled car to go with the whole 'tornado theme'

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thanks, LANCE! I wish I’d been old enough to see it in theaters back when movies were big events!

[@maxburner3500]

At 6:53 I remember that 3D board when the film came out. I was amazed how cool was that, the film became one of my favourites, even to this day is still one of the best film I have ever watched.

[@JamesNGames]

Just received a signed Twister DVD from Sean Whalen in the mail. Such a great movie! Awesome video as well, man!

A movie was shot in the small town I lived in many years ago and I remember a friend had a knick knack store in town and he sold them a bunch of items to make things look like they did back in the right time frame for the movie. He said he had to put every item down and how much they paid for each one, and it was cash. When the shooting was over he said they gave him all the stuff back

[@GoingtotheMovies]

I love when movies shoot in small towns giving a boost to the local economies around the US. I wish they’d do it more often!

@@GoingtotheMovies absolutely! A little side note, me and my friend chased tornados back in the days before cell phones. I remember a day back in the early 90's that we saw 5 in one day. Not watching radar, we didn't have it, just knowing storms

Will there be a pt.2 release of the twister locations? I thought that video and the more recent one of home alone were awesome, I alwaays thought the house interior was incredible and reminded me a lot of my own 90's house, and was blown away that all of it were set pieces and not an actual home!

The movie twister never terrified me. I love tornadoes I know in that movie tornadoes can happen in real life too. I know that. And I know it’s scary. Luckily I don’t live in tornado alley. I only live in Florida, and I only go to hurricanes luck with me.

[@tanjiro20247]

Bill Paxton was my guy in twister. He did a really good job acting as himself in the movie but may he rest in peace. He was a good actor in twister.

[@roadkillavenger1325]

Florida is actually a state that has quite a few tornadoes. They aren't usually as strong, USUALLY, but they do occur there quite frequently. Hurricanes and tropical storms love spawning tornadoes.
