TWISTER (1996) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@garretthorsch8143]

you've been bringing me a lot of joy lately brother. Been a pretty awful point in my life and this has really helped out.

[@bmofano]

Is it the way he says 'chasers'?

[@carriebrown679]

Same here. I hope things get better for you. Internet hugs.

[@garretthorsch8143]

@@carriebrown679 back at you! my birthday was yesterday so maybe it on top of everything reminds me how much time has gone by. hope things get better on your end too! as long as I get to have reliefs like his videos I know tomorrow can always be better

[@WanderingRoe]

Agreed, these videos are a huge distraction from some awful things in life. Hope it gets better for you

[@83gemm]

I have relied on reaction videos in my dark days these last few years as well. It really does help

[@cfinley81]

Mf said, "As you wish" when Jonah died!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I'm fucking crying over here. RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. 💔

[@wittleMermaid13]

OH. MY. WORD. I can't believe I didn't realize that was Phillip Seymour Hoffman until now. Another reason to rewatch movies from my childhood.

[@Mama_Michelle]

😂😂😂 I was quoting his lines from Almost Famous everytime Phillip Seymour Hoffman came on! 😂😂 I've been binge watchung Stranger Things and I kept calling Carey Euless's character Mayor Kline 😂😂

[@BeeWhistler]

@@wittleMermaid13The man was a chameleon. Just fantastic at getting into character. Gone way too soon!

[@kcirtapelyk6060]

I love how your number one priority is always the dog’s wellbeing no matter what 😂

[@thejamppa]

Dog's are part of family. J is family man who takes care of family. Huge respect for that.

[@tiffymcconkey]

28:48 that is the sound of a real tornado. If you hear the sound of a freight train and there are no train stations around, get under ground

[@GhostSot]

That's the sound of the wind whistling. The sound of a tornado is like the wheels rolling over a track going by, over and over again.

[@Dublin.655]

I know it's a re-upload, but I am always here for a Twister react!

[@ChrissonatorOFL]

It is? O_O

[@Jskew]

So I love your reactions. My sisters house was removed from the face of the Earth in Moore in the last "big" one. Now, I am not super religious. However, my grandmother claims she herd a booming voice say "Call Jessie". My sister was a night nurse and asleep, my nephew was 6 months old asleep in his crib. Grandma woke her up. She left the house during sirens screaming 2 minutes before her house being removed from the face of the Earth. Both of her neighbors died. Believe what you will. My sister and nephew are alive because my grandma woke her up to leave. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

[@heliopyre]

If God is responsible for saving your sister, then he's also responsible for killing her neighbours.

[@menotyou8369]

"I am not super religious" then goes into a super religious delusional screed.

[@Jskew]

@@menotyou8369 yep now deal with it.

[@All_Access_Passes]

@39:31, right as the final F5 starts dissipating, watch the piece of wood falling on the left side of the screen. It has director Jan de Bont's name on it.

[@kriscynical]

This film is the reason why my sister is a storm chaser photographer now as an adult. She's certified with SkyWarn and Spotter Network, too. 😊

[@llorona7847]

J’s constant concern about the liability insurance is why I keep coming back. Another stupendous reaction!

[@3DJapan]

There used to be a Twister "ride" at Universal Studios. Not really a ride because you walk through it but it's just like being there with the wind and rain and stuff blowing around. There was no warning but you got soaked from the rain inside.

[@KetsaKunta]

The beginning when her dad gets taken by the twister is so chilling and sad. True sacrifice right there

[@josephagundez5336]

This was one of my favorite films when I was a kid. I still have the fond memories of seeing this in the theater with my dad. RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the best in the business. "IT'S THE WONDER OF NATURE, BABY!!"

[@ryanbuckley5529]

PSH was so damn good in “Patch Adams”🙏❤️

[@chadwinpark8386]

Can we appreciate that Jami Gertz went from chasing tornadoes to owning an MLB and NBA team?

[@andreadeamon6419]

She and her husband are worth billions from what I read

[@mraxlrose2959]

She has always been hot. What teams?

[@DC21NY]

This movie brought awareness of tornadoes across the country where people never experienced it. And when Bill Paxton died, real strorm chasers got together and did something for him

[@darthken815]

Yeah, hundreds of 'em spelt out his initials on G.P.S.

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

Seeing this movie in the theaters back in the day when I was a kid was a whole different experience it was like you was chasing the tornados with them tornados sounded great in theaters.

[@David_C_83]

One of my favorite films, always been obsessed with tornados since I was a kid. Love how the first thought was about the dog! 😅

[@be-art-iful1215]

28:06 "I'd have been so far underground I would be part of the underground railroad" had me bustin' stitches 😂😂😂

[@marshalynch2098]

J, you've provided more content than most of the reactors I follow during this holiday season - I've been off work after a foot surgery, and lots of reactors actually slowed their content down, but not you! And you've done some real favorites the last couple of weeks - thank you!

[@robbob5302]

Love that girl trying to reassure her patient not to worry about his cat having nightmares, while in the middle of a tornado! 😂😂😂😂

[@robbob5302]

RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I loved him in everything he was in.

[@jamesalexander5623]

He had incredible Range!

[@gregcarter9680]

27:50 - I actually saw this movie AT a Drive-In back in '96. That scene was a trip!

[@maryannweitzel5636]

I'm thankful for the storm chasers. It take a powerfull dedication to put your life in danger to save others.

[@juice_box_jax]

One of the best and most entertaining movies of the 90s! One of the first movies I ever bought with my own money.

[@sansthedrummer]

Saw this when it first came out. I was 5, and it equally fascinated and terrified me, but also served as my intro to Van Halen.

[@idiotflower]

I thought I knew Van Halen but THAT one made me rethink of what guitars are capable of, and also rethink who Van Halen was

[@deadlyice2042]

Basically the scene with the chimes is showing dorothy needs wings to fly

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

I didn’t know steak and eggs was a thing until this movie. Now I eat it every chance I get

[@jonajohnson9138]

In the south it's definitely a thing. 🙂🥩🍳

[@cerealkiller193]

Bro was so shook from The Shining showing up he thought Elvis was in town 😂😂😂🎉

[@Redladyrae03]

First, you never let go of the liability, and I love it. Second, how did you manage to bring Danny Glover into this? 😂 Third, I’m so glad you could appreciate the sad moments in this. Helen’s delivery of the line when she says how he’s never seen it was so raw and real. I still cherish this movie. It made me fascinated with tornadoes. Great reaction as always!

[@bentucker2301]

This movie is so well written and acted it makes you actually care about a bunch of probes getting off the ground 😂

[@misternef]

Living in tornado alley my whole life. I've had many close calls, but thank God I've never lost my home to one. This movie really shows how much we should appreciate aluminum cans. When I was in high school people used to smoke weed with them if they were out of papers. Aluminum cans save lives.

[@jenniferri7735]

seeing this in the theater was one of those film-going experiences i'll never forget, right up there with titanic and endgame

[@thundr_monkey]

I was born and raised in Iowa and unfortunately lived next to a tornado siren, they tested it the first Monday of every month. I've only been a couple around a tornado once that was a couple miles away, people were outside taking videos of the crazy sky and the tornado like it was normal

[@32Inked]

Do we all mouth the words stfu with J when we know it's coming, or is it just me?

[@darthken815]

It's not just you. 😂 #STFUClub4Life

[@supersai-raptor5167]

Bro so sick to see you reacting to one of if not the greatest disaster movies ever made. This is one of the most highly acclaimed films of all time!!! Thank you EOM!

[@caveritt82489]

Fun fact: Melissa (Jami Gertz) and her husband own the Atlanta Hawks and is one of the wealthiest actors alive.

[@BigGator5]

"Jo. Things go wrong. You can't explain it, you can't predict it. Killing yourself wo'nt bring your dad back. I'm sorry that he died, but that was a long time ago. You gotta move on. Stop living in the past, and look at what you got right in front of you." "What are you saying?" "Me, Jo." Fun Fact: There are a total of eight tornadoes in the film. Casting Notes Fact: This movie reunites Helen Hunt with Bill Paxton who both appeared in Next Of Kin (1989). Music Enthusiast Fact: Jan de Bont is a Tori Amos fan and decided early on he wanted to include some of her music. Tori Amos filmed a music video inspired by The Wizard Of Oz (1939) in 1994. Sound Effects Fact: The unique siren sound made by Dorothy is achieved by combining the sounds created by a standard police, fire, ambulance siren control head. These control heads have modes called yelp, siren, and phaser. Cutting Room Floor Fact: Was shot as an R rated film that featured profanity and grislier wound details. The film was edited down to a PG-13 in post-production which caused additional scenes with Cary Elwes and Philip Seymour Hoffman to be left on the cutting room floor due to content alone. Exposition Dump Fact: Jami Gertz's role as Melissa Reeves doubles not only as a love interest for Paxton's character, but also as a vessel for exposition. With her character being the only one with no knowledge of tornados or meteorology exposition is "disguised" as her simply being curious while feeding the audience important information about the science behind tornados. Computer Enthusiast Fact: All of the computers in the movie are Silicon Graphics workstations. This is highly unlikely (albeit not impossible), especially for the main characters' unsponsored team, since the average price for a Silicon Graphics workstation was around $40,000 at the time. ($73,296 in 2022 money, adjusted for inflation). Furthermore, the Silicon Graphics laptop did not exist in reality. It was created specifically for the movie by Silicon Graphics as a prop, and was not actually a functioning computer. Needless to say, Silicon Graphics was a sponsor of this movie.

[@archiemorris5235]

Trivia factoid: Twister was the first movie to be released as on dvd.

[@maskcollector6949]

Virtual Reality: Midwest edition. Everybody wanted that volume.

[@JusBidniss]

Dude, the cow gif to hide your mouth during the bleeps is 🐄 hilarious! 😎

[@andrewmize823]

I saw what you did there, with that little "as you wish." That was my first real belly-laugh of 2025!

[@robertott9083]

My sister's house was hit by a Tornado on Christmas Eve last week. Everyone is ok but their roof was ripped off.

[@66JesterDeath]

That's no moon, it's a SPACE STATION!!! Wooooo ❤

[@DraggorLecanth]

Always wanted to be a storm chaser. The closest I got was receiving a Storm Spotter number when I was living in Iowa. I got my certification alongside a friend of mine and, technically, we actually did go out chasing the storms. His family owns a lot of farmland and we would just be driving around keeping tabs on the locations when severe storms were rolling through. As fantastical as this movie seems, the visuals and sheer destruction are very accurate. I don't live in Iowa anymore, but I miss it just for the phenomenal weather.

[@tracysumner4970]

Melissa is the gitl from Lost boys. The guy in the beginning is the guy thats says Hey Vern. Thats Bill Paxton.😊

[@stormy_daydreams]

I’m watching Twister on my tv while I watch you react to it!😂 I love this movie so much! I want to chase and photograph tornadoes!❤❤

[@AtigunAlaska]

Best advertisement for RAM trucks ever.

[@ThompsonKimber]

I LOVED watching this with you. I saw you get a little teared up when they brought along the golden retriever. This is a super nostalgic movie for me and it’s one. I’ll throw up in the background when I’m doing shit around the house. I love Helen Hunt and if you love, Helen Hunt, you should watch. “As good as it gets” that has Jack Nicholson in it and he has severe OCD in this movie.

[@vancelubben4527]

The Soundtrack in this film is excellent with Eric Clapton, Deep Purple, and Van Halen among others 😊

[@FatGreyKitty123]

Ahhhhh my favorite movie of all time! And my favorite KZbinr! I’ve never hit that play button so fast 😂❤

[@Atkirby]

I was in Moore Oklahoma when a F5 hit! It will change your life the power and how big it was just horrific!

[@TheCpage66]

I've survived 13 (LUCKY!) tornadoes growing up with one being an F5, the 1974 tornado that hit Guin, Alabama...we lost the entire roof off our house with us in it. Live in Australia for the last 24 years and I DON'T miss bad weather

[@TheCpage66]

And even as I type this, I have friends back home who are in their tornado shelters as they are in a tornado warning ⚠️

[@thundr_monkey]

27:59 haha WHAAAT? That is some of the craziest shit I've heard haha

[@emmalondon3114]

I've never understood why they have such flimsy locks/latches on doors. If the door is the only thing between you and a tornado at least have a sturdy latch

[@SurvivorBri]

Yep and if a tornado can rip off a sturdy latch, that'll demonstrate the power of it even more.

[@FatGreyKitty123]

"when a tornado touch down I try and get infront of it"....this aint gonna work out... LMAO

[@sandimcalisterblood2675]

Been waiting a long time for you to react to this one. Thanks for making me smile today😊😊😊

[@billytidwell7229]

"Underground Railroad"...🤣🤣🤣 DAMN!! THAT'S FUNNY! Great channel, thanks for the laughs man✌🏻

[@Jackalblade9]

Glad this got reuploaded, hoping you guys can do the same with Gladiator! I miss JL's unrestrained hatred of Commodus.

[@marlainalindsey3279]

I'm hype for this re-upload ❤❤❤

[@BrokenInBeauty]

🌪️ Same girl!

[@MCMNasty2]

Hahahaha man I love you. You make me smile every time I watch one of your reactions.

[@Floridad25]

2 time tornado survivor feeling obligated to give PSA: DO NOT, under any circumstances whatsoever, attempt to take shelter from a tornado under a bridge. Don't do what ANY character (s) in this movie do, for that matter, they should have all died in various nasty and unpleasant ways in the first 30 minutes and could have ended the movie early. Billy and Jo would not have been still strapped to that pipe when the thing passed. Okay maybe parts of them would still be attached, like an arm or something, but you'd have to go on a treasure hunt from hell to find them rest of them. It would not all be in the same place, either.

[@dianebrown8046]

❤..OK..been subscriber awhile and Love your reactions ( needed to see you today...Long Story.. 65yr old here & You look like twin of husband of BFF who just died in November ..Long Story..knew her and her Hubby since 2003..2007,met my Wonderful 2nd Hubby 2008..Hubby and I went on 3rd date with BFF and Hubby..did movie and dinner nights 2 times or more a month until they moved to Texas 2019..stayed friends...talking and texting..even now..her Hubby David just called me yesterday..made me cry..he said he'd gotten my messages ( we'd talked alot when Rose 1st died..2nd November for a week or more)..been talking to him & their kids ever since..he just called me yesterday. ..Hoping you don't mind Long overshare..You made Old Lady happy..sad at beginning, But glad of Great memories this brought up..Much love ❤❤and Happy New Year ❤️ 😊

[@lysaraine79]

Loved the reaction on this one! I have a couple recommendations, too. For one of Helen Hunt's earlier movies, you should watch Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. It's also got Sarah Jessica Parker and Shannen Doherty in it. Another Carey Elwes movie I love is called The Crush. He stars alongside Alicia Silverstone in that one. Both awesome movies!

[@HorrificFX]

Your videos have been bringing me so much joy. I have hit a rough time in my life. I had an amputation. I have not been able to work. I have no income. I have been trying to get state assistance but not yet approved. My Mother passed away, and my son was recently diagnosed with cancer. One thing that has brought joy to my life is watching your videos. It for sure takes me away f4om worrying about the ever mounting bills that I have and hep that I am in major need of.

[@JohnDubya128]

Saw this with my pop when it came out. Love this movie!

[@GordianTot]

Fun fact - Directly after watching this film in the theater, a storm hit while driving. The hail was so insane I had to pull over only five blocks from my house. Couldn't see a thing. Every pore on my body was sweating waiting that out. Everything was so LOUD.

[@Raven5150]

It's not that he wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing, my favorite part of living in tornado coountry is seeing the damage it causes after. Not injury's just what you might see stuck in things that survived, nothing can prepare you to see a stop sign still attached to the pole now a mile away now in a tree.

[@Happiiechild]

[@o1.valeriejean]

[@allaboutthecookies9642]

My mom was a chaser for a number of years in the 80’s! Her love of tornadoes began when she had a harrowing experience surviving the 1974 F5 tornado that hit Xenia, OH. She loves this movie (loved jokingly tearing it apart😁) and really enjoyed the new Twisters too!

[@00Kuja00]

Never understood why the dad had to hold the door at the beginning.^^*

[@BeeWhistler]

My guy, most of the caucasians are with you on that! We are fine with not driving toward a tornado and hoping it doesn’t move faster than we can get clear, or that there’s no road clear in the direction we need to drive if it turns on us.

After the jerk he played in Scent of a Woman, this is the role that redeemed Phillip Seymour Hoffman for me.

[@robbob5302]

He was great in everything. (Even being a jerk.)

[@BouillaBased]

@@robbob5302 Very true. But Dusty is the role that finally made me stop associating him with the earlier role, no matter what he was playing in.

They would not have been able to survive that at the end in real life you shoukd react sometime to The Jarrell Texas Tornado - The Worst F5 In History.

[@libertad1026]

I have loved Phillip Seymour Hoffman for his roll in Twister ever since I saw it in 96. I have loved him in MANY rolls since. And I love him still. It breaks my heart that he is not still here. 💔 💔 My heart breaks for Bill Paxton too. He will forever be my beloved Hudson And Morgan. IYKYK Both men wonderful actors Gone Too Soon. Glad to be able to look back and have fun. Thanks for the reaction! The OG is a classic, far superior to the new IMHO. Enjoy!

[@SurvivorBri]

Ha! I'm fresh off of watching her reaction last night. That was rough. We need some J goodness.

You will never run faster than when a tornado is chasing you, not dracula, the cops, or Godzilla chasing you paraplegics will find muscles they can't use if a tornado is chasing you.

[@alwayzchillin0714]

"FOOOOOOOD" 👌😂

[@PriceFamPrime]

I remember being in high school in Kansas when the Andover tornado outbreak happened. We had a narrow miss by the tornado, but it still destroying a few farms nearby. I had a friend on one of those farms and he talked about how some of their cattle were literally thrown into trees, and one of his horses had pieces of wheat stalk stuck in its flank like darts. Insane.

[@donbergeson6771]

The scene with the aunt's town in shambles hits home to me. I grew up in a little town in Northern Illinois. About a decade ago i was living in San Diego and saw on the news about a major tornado that struck. Luckily for my family it did miss our town but it literally wiped out the small town about 5 miles away. Only 1 or 2 buildings were left standing, everything else was wiped out. I was freaking out for awhile because I couldn't get ahold of my parents. Quite a few friends or their families had to completely rebuild and start over.

[@orangeandblackattack]

As always, you make my day! I outran an F3 coming eastbound outta Tulsa, OK in 2006. I was driving an old OK cowboy, Frankie's 1999 Peterbilt 379. Soon as the horizontal rain started, he told me to floor it. People clogged the areas under overpass. This mf tornado was 1/4 mile behind me and closing. I had that semi in top gear doing 123 mph on I44, black smoke pouring out stacks..and we made it. Let me tell you the tornado was loud, but not as loud as that Caterpillar 550 motor! We were gettin' it! Crazy.

[@shellihouge938]

Man, you make me laugh more than any other KZbinr. I love your love of dogs! You're the best!! ✌️❤

Ok, listen, Twister is on my top 5 movie list and you are not disappointing. But I promise you, I'd watch any movie reaction you do. Thanks for bringing me some joy. It's been rough. Also I had the same damn reactions the first time I saw this movie!
