[@jdrodrigues7]

In a town south of Brockton MA, I saw a Lv.3 Tornado in the mid-90’s. Tornados do occur in Massachusetts.

[@sheilaburns8977]

Melissa was actually a decent character. She picked up on the fact that Bill and Jo still loved each other, and she didn't create a scene but walked away with dignity, just like a true lady. I like Helen Hunt, but her character, Jo, was a bit obsessed with the twisters and a bit annoying when putting herself and others in danger.

[@odinsahn7648]

Real tornados are freaky deeky dutch. Even if you've seen a few they are still intense and very disturbing to see. I know people from Kansas and other states that see them as a regular occurrence but are still cautious depending on size and direction. They are no joke, even the smaller funnels can destroy your lifes work.

[@shadmedina3033]

The Dominick Toretto line about him driving Dorothy into the tornado….I laughed so f’n hard😂😂. Peace out reject nation ☮️❤️🍻

[@jcj268]

Another movie I’d recommend is “Into the Storm”

[@Arretay]

My cousin worked on this movie, and told us stories about the set. He said out of all the cast members Phillip Seymour Hoffman was the most approachable, down to earth guy he’d ever met.

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

Did your cousin interact with Bill?

[@rydbthatsme]

Helen Hunt is a peach and a lot of people are scared to approach top billing actors. That’s a them thing.

[@Arretay]

I’m sure he did, I’ll have to ask next time I see him. He was retired Air Force, and was hired to help maintain the helicopters for the aerial shots.

[@blissfullycat02]

He was, I met him at my film school just about a year or two before he died.

[@DavisStevens2.0]

Who cares 😂😂😂

[@theviciouschickenofbristol4779]

I was about 12 when this came out. I think Melissa leaving the way she did was the first time I ever saw someone act so mature ending a relationship in a movie.

[@portlandtn1]

As a storm chaser myself. This movie is the most realistic in the terms of how we all react to a tornado.

[@mikesmollin2043]

We salute you man, that is a dangerous job, like being a firefighter. I just wish they did not do the rival storm chaser bit, I feel like in science you want the most people collecting data regardless of financial motives, but you know better than I

[@portlandtn1]

@@mikesmollin2043 yeah we really don’t have chaser rivalries. There are some that do dislike the others. But it’s mostly a large family.

[@newyorkstatestormchasers]

@@mikesmollin2043 there are definitely rivalries, especially when competition is involved, and it's especially the case now since there are a lot of newcomers out there. I know of a case where Reed Timmer has some beef with this one guy I forgot the name of.

[@AJ1987LV]

@@newyorkstatestormchasers sean casey, if you refer to his beef with fellow chaser in Discovery show Storm Chasers. Sean was much like Jonas in this movie, often missing tornado, while Reed followed instincts and did intercepted many storms

[@newyorkstatestormchasers]

@@AJ1987LV I have heard of that. There's probably more too, but the specific one I was referring to was the one where this wacko sped by him at dangerous speeds while he was parked on the side of the road. I forget the date though.

[@bnope7963]

My head cannon is that Jo's mom couldn't really support Joe's career choice due to grief, but Aunt Meg could and did support Jo

[@pixxiespit]

Perhaps aunt Meg is her dad’s sister…? 🤷‍♀️

[@joshuacoldwater]

My cannon is that her mom died like the mom in eating Gilbert Grape. We all have our own story 😂

[@caseymoe816]

Alan Ruck: “The Rabbit is good, The Rabbit is wise.” Classic quote from a classic film.

[@saphiro007]

My favorite line: “Beyond the what?! Bearded lady what?!”

[@fpgmatthew]

It’s crazy, but my favorite movie scene ever might be them eating at Aunt Meg’s, when they’re telling stories It feels so much like a bunch of real life long friends eating at family’s house, and having a blast, and laughing. It didn’t feel like acting whatsoever. It makes me all happy inside whenever I see it

[@laurenherda2415]

Same I too love that scene

[@angelmum2007]

I still tell people that my gravy is 5 food groups from this movie

[@janel1386]

Definitely relatable. Never wanted steak and eggs more in my life lol

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

It's my favourite too. Just feels so homey and cozy. Good food, with good friends, just sitting around the table to share stories. Love it!

[@maxTheTimeSlasher]

Yeah, while chasing tornadoes. 😂 It makes me feel cozy. But my fav scene is when the tornado hit at night while at the drive-in theatre.

[@cameronblakemore3390]

I’m from Oklahoma & let me tell you, this movie was a PHENOMENON here People just lost their minds that a major motion picture was showing us Okies’ favorite pastime: Storm watching & ‘nader chasing!

This film is so underrated and deserves more love. Also fun fact: I discovered The Shining through this film lol. Also RIP Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@BrittneyLynne]

Same! When I was in 6th grade, I asked my dad what movie was showing at the drive in and he told me, and then said I was not allowed to watch it, but I knew he had the book and he let me read that 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@haissem8]

Most 90's action movies are underrated. On the flip side, most post-millennial action movies are overrated. Lowering of standards.

[@Towey8]

On the bright side it made $500M at the box office, the second highest grossing film of that year after Independence Day. That's ~$1B in 2024

[@Dennis_K09]

I always felt bad for Melissa during this whole movie. Few reactors feel anything for her and I always say that her soon to be husband pretty much got together with his ex in front of her. How can you not feel bad, her character was way more understanding than she should've been.

[@tomasjallen]

I think she is understanding because she is a therapist. She very quickly picked up on Jo still loving Bill, and for the first time saw Bill doing something he loved. They made her smart, observant and level headed.

[@astranoel895]

I know I maybe shouldn't take it so seriously but sometimes I listen to reactors just be so callous and snarky about her and I wonder if they have ever experienced real heartache or loss or anything.

[@Concetta20]

Yeah, I always felt a bit bad for her too. Her character’s got guts.

[@rdramos13]

Don't feel too bad, her husband is the majority owner of the Atlanta Hawks.

[@whitejosh444]

Two of the greats for sure

[@Rika24]

Water tornado is called a waterspout. There are two kinds, a “harmless” one called a fair weather waterspout and a tornadic waterspout which is a tornado over water. They’re formed differently, the fair weather one can form on a day with no bad weather.

[@rebo2610]

I saw a fairweather one once at the Gulf of Mexico. Very weird.

[@lucianaromulus1408]

I saw one in Hilton Head Island, SC back in like 02. Wild experience

[@AJ1987LV]

However fair weather waterspout (we have them in sea coastal area) can become tornadoes, if they reach mainland

[@Rika24]

@@AJ1987LV how though? Tornadoes need a supercell with strong updrafts to form, fair weather waterspouts form without storms. I thought when fair weather waterspouts reach land they just fall apart. Only the tornadic waterspouts can go on land and turn into tornadoes.

[@gaymer07]

I've seen a lot on lake Erie.

[@matthewmoss50]

Apparently my mom went into labor with me watching this in 96 and there was a twister in Mississippi while I was being born. Ever since I was told that I haven’t been scared of twisters dispite being around them nearly every year. Heart goes out to the people in Rolling Fork, MS

[@Kevmaster2000]

I’m from Mississippi also.

Oh shit... We got Powder in the house🤣🤣🤣... if you know that movie as well😂😂

[@NicoBabyman1]

THE CHOSEN ONE!

[@franklesher4459]

This film was an absolute ride. Also i want to share some facts. ° The film was nominated by 2 academy awards for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Mixing. ° Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Robert Zemeckis were considered to direct the film. ° Before Bill Paxton took the role for Bill Harding, some actors who were considered to portray the character were Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner, Dennis Quaid, John Travolta, Richard Gere, John Cusack, Nicolas Cage, Bruce Willis, Val Kilmer, Kurt Russell and Michael Keaton.

[@DaysofOblivion]

Also, fun fact: Twister was one of the First DVDs ever released, if memory serves correct.

[@JakeTaaylor]

I’ve always loved this movie. I used to watch it A LOT growing up. Watch count has to be in the hundreds. Had no idea so many big names were up for the role of Bill.

[@DavidGowers]

@@DaysofOblivion it was apparently THE first movie released on DVD and the last movie ever released on HD-DVD

[@liceafilms]

Of course Nick Cage was in the running for Bill

[@AJ1987LV]

Actually fun fact - Tom Hanks was considered strongly for Bill's part, but he had just worked with Bill Paxton on Apollo 13 and felt that Paxton could be better for the part, so he was the one who suggested Paxton for the role.

[@JakeBourne13]

I love this movie, was one of my favorites for a long time. For about 3-4 years I would watch this movie almost every other day, and would even act out the movie with my Hotwheel’s from time to time 😂 “Hey Aunt Meg where’d you get all these steaks?” “Did you see my cow out front???” “No, why?” “Ope” 😂

[@myktheprotector]

I did the exact same thing everyday with matching hotwheels. I was kind obsessed to be honest. I'm surprised at how fun the movie actually was now that I'm old enough to appreciate it for what it is.

[@Malkinian]

"It's the wonder of nature, baby!" followed by Child in Time is one of the most glorious moments in cinema history.

[@goldenphoenixnaruto]

Funnily enough, just before this movie came out, my house was hit with an EF2 and completely destroyed...with me and my family still in it. I was 5. There was some PTSD. But I also watched Twister on VHS, repeatedly, and I was very much like Jo here, desperately trying to figure out what the hell had happened. Learned to read radar from local news stations during severe weather. Still watch storm chasers to this day.

[@aya9af]

Glad you all made it out and you found a positive way to handle it. I'm in Texas , hurricanes and a few tornadoes here occasionally. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏽☀️.

[@mikewillis33]

Bill is the John Wick of tornado watchers. "I'm not back!"

[@mystisith3984]

That year I was visiting the Universal studios in Florida and the Twister attraction with a tornado created indoor was the wildest thing ever. Will never forget the thrill.

@@micksplace Wish I could've checked it out but I was far younger at the time.

[@ReesieRowan]

Little late to this reaction, but you were mentioning the sound and I saw twister twice in the theatre and the tornado sounds were incredible. I grew up in the midwest and saw a few tornadoes, one we were chasing after and it dropped right beside us in a field, and the sound in the movie while not technically accurap it definitely conveys the feel of being too close to a tornado. They have more of the rumble and roar of a train and less of the growl sound in the movie. This movie is so good at providing the tension, fear, and awe that comes from having a tornado hit too close for comfort.

[@thedarkknight2221]

So I lived in Kansas from age 3 to 11 and while I thankfully never saw a tornado I did experience storms that did almost as much damage. And yet I still love this movie. It truly captures the horror and the thrill of storm chasing. And nowadays some chasers actually build their own ARMORED VEHICLES to not just chase storms but to get purposely in their way, drop down some anchors, and have tornadoes run over them while pointing cameras and other meteorological equipment up the funnel. There was a show on Discovery channel over 10 years ago called Storm Chasers where 2 groups of chasers with their own armored vehicles did just that. One with an IMAX camera.

[@michaelmcclellan5345]

Reed Timmer has his own KZbin channel and just filmed a tornado going over his vehicle like last week. Dude is crazy!

[@EleventhCubFan]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers Storm Chasers. I loved that show!

[@motivationmike4722]

Damn as an adult I can appreciate the IMAX camera 😂

[@7thsealord888]

I remember Storm Chasers. They even did a crossover with Mythbusters.

[@CandyNecklace6]

I still live in Kansas and I've seem 3 tornadoes and they're truly amazing lol so dangerous but beautiful

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

If anyone is interested, Corridor Digital did a great deep dive on the SFX of this movie. What they did for the time and level of technology was actually insane. It should have been talked about more at the time but it really is an amazing thing to learn about

[@nickthedreamer4434]

For those interested, it's the episode "VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 16"

[@javix2013]

I feel that in the 90s FX reached their golden age, Terminator 2 is another of those wonders in FX and after the 90s, I don't know what happened, but the effects in my opinion were involuted and we see increasingly mediocre effects and everything done in CGI, I think we should go back to the old school, combine practical effects with a little CGi, not 100% CGI.

[@javix2013]

Any big budget movie from the 90s is going to have better special effects than any current movie.

[@thearchivist250]

As I recall, this was one of the first big films where the CGI was a selling point. 30 years later, Twister still got it right. CGI for natural things and supplementing physical effects. Stop trying to make CGI actors

[@Spinnekk]

I've watched this movie dozens of times over the years. It's easily one of my favorite movies.

[@hermunkulus]

The opening scene scared the shit out of me as a kid. Hell, it's still frightening today. I'd argue it was my first introduction to horror (which is my favorite genre alongside comedy).

[@thebulldogshowgaming]

Dude same it scared the crap out of me but then growing up as a kid I really wanted to learn more about tornadoes so I took adult books out of the library and read them on tornadoes and it fascinated me that I wanted to become a meteorologist when I grew up unfortunately I never continued pursuing that because I think it would just be too scary for me personally but for what it was worth as a kid totally worth it learning about twisters

[@Concetta20]

The sequel to “Twister” would be “Hurricane”.

[@MoreJoy79]

I was in the EF5 that hit Joplin Missouri in 2011. It debarked trees, left a 3/4 mile wide & 13 mile long path of complete distraction, knocked a concrete hospital off its foundation. It was truly terrifying.

[@thebackyardbear]

Saw it on day of release in the Theater. The manager turned up the house lights and told everyone that it was going to be LOUD... that no, they would not turn it down... it was meant to be viewed this way. IT WAS GLORIOUS!!! Several scenes were enough to overwhelm you with the noise and visuals. It was an EXPERIENCE.

[@chanceneck8072]

I just re-watched this movie last year. It's iconic. The soundtrack is a BANGER!! And R.I.P., Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman... ✊️😔

[@niles8102]

[@grayden4138]

The guy on Jo's team wearing the denim jacket is Todd Field, Academy Award winning Director of Tar. Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water. Cyclones are massive low-pressure storms, like hurricanes, but form in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, and so rotate in the opposite direction from hurricanes.

[@MysterClark]

My sister and I were actually obsessed with this movie when it came out. So much so that we even tried to get a group of people together from a kids summer community center and turn it into a play. It never happened though but we practiced. This movie made me love Alan Ruck though. Not that I didn't enjoy him in Ferris Bueller's Day Off but this and Speed really sold me. Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wise.

[@RaptorNX01]

Michael Crichton also created the show ER, and wrote sphere and congo. I loved this film. the acting and action is phenomenal. and I love the soundtrack and the score.

[@Glittersword]

Don't forget "The Andromeda Strain".

[@supafun33]

Jan de Bont also directed Speed! This movie scared the crap out of me as a kid, the tornadoes felt like real monsters and I was terrified that a tornado would come for us. It's cool how they level up like video game bosses, and each tornado comes with it's own exciting set piece. The drive in theatre playing The Shining really creeped me out, and I love when the tornado rips the screen apart. I also remember being really sad when Melissa drives off and forgets the coffees on the roof.

[@PopCultureChristian]

This is one of the movies that you don’t think about but when someone brings it up you go OH YEAH I LOVE THAT MOVIE

[@shannonoconnell95]

"I've done sex stuff before"..... *awkward chuckle x2*😂😂

[@ChrisTheAspergerGuy]

I've seen this movie more times than I can count and it never gets boring. This is probably my favorite disaster movie of all time. Needless to say I'm excited for Twisters when it comes out. It's too bad you two didn't see this when it was in theaters. That was quite the experience and that was before IMAX. It's fascinating to see people react to it for the first time. Also, I was obsessed with Ram pickups after it came out lol. As far as seeing a tornado, I never have, but I remember back in '98, my uncle had taken me out for dinner for my 15th birthday and as we were going home, this really severe thunderstorm barreled in that lasted well into the next morning. I didn't know it happened while the storm was going on, but apparently a funnel cloud was spotted over the downtown area of the city I live in. It didn't touch down, but it's still a good thing I didn't know because I was already scared enough as it was. Just like Roxy, I grew up in New England and that kind of thing doesn't usually happen here. That was the absolute worst thunderstorm I've ever experienced.

[@kitchenmom]

I love this movie. We watched it in the drive-in on a stormy night (we started dating in 1996), and we had the best time ever. Hubby and my old behind also had great fun making the kids watch it and for them to find out why we always joke about cows flying by when the weather is bad.

[@russellclark9399]

You both reacting to movies is a must see! Keep these coming please.

[@kunterborn1]

I became a fan of weather because of this movie, and I used to watch it once a year. This is the first time since an EF4 tornado hit my house in 2019 that I've been able to watch it without it being too much to handle.

[@baileyburleson6852]

I grew up in a place with lots of tornadoes and this movie scarred me so much more than literally anything else lol Also about the pipes, good advice is to sit in the bathtub if you don't have an underground storm shelter because it's one of the parts of a home most likely to stay.

[@jockyrhonson_]

As someone who's lived in tornado alley my entire life and experienced quite a few 'nadoes, a water tornado is called a waterspout. A cyclone is the rotating winds/clouds that are usually the starting point of either a hurricane, waterspout, or tornado.

[@SinSinny]

One of my favorite movies from the 90s and probably one of my favorite movies overall. This movie got me interested in storm chasing as a kid and till this day I am fascinated by tornadoes

[@browniewin4121]

My daughter and I went to see this when it came out, it was on a large screen at an independent theater owned by a man who was a master at audio. He had the most fantastic system and we got to hear the wind swirling around us in the auditorium. I do know how tornados work, and much of this demands a willing suspension of disbelief, but it's just fun to watch. This was the first time I was aware of Philip Seymour Hoffman (I didn't know his name at the time), but I left the theater thinking he was the best part of the movie aside from the tornado special effects, and I said, "That guy is going to win an Oscar some day."

[@Zachfive]

“Twister” was my dad’s fave move for a long time back when it came out. So I’ve seen it a fair few times. Also super excited to also Roxy in “Crust” when it is available!

[@meadmaker4525]

Used to see tornadoes all the time when I lived in New Mexico. The schools would only send us home if there were more than 3 of them within 5 miles. Used to have drills in school about what to do if we got hit by one. One day, after a tornado had blown through, we were driving home and noticed the telephone pulls looked...furry. The tornado had picked up straw from nearby fields and the wind was blowing so fast the straw was driven into the wood of the telephone poles and it was left sticking out like hair. Crazy. Nothing compared to the big ones they get out in Kansas, etc.

[@EleventhCubFan]

I love this movie. It has such a great cast! It’s my favorite 90’s disaster movie!

[@lexingtonluthor5637]

I used to watch this movie on VHS as a kid into young adult and was mesmerized by the movies thrills and action. I started thinking this looks like the coolest job in the world I should chase storms too.

[@shelby127]

This movie is so perfectly 90s romantic action movie, which was truly a genre imo. I love this movie we had it on tape so no telling how many times I saw it.

[@NuKnightRider]

Here in Oklahoma, we have a Tornado Season which lasts from March 15 to June 15, and on occasion see one close to an F5. Last one I witnessed in person was May 3, 1999 and again in ‘13. They are scary as hell but that’s why we have a weekly test of the alert system every Saturday at noon. And an easy way to tell if there’s one coming, if it looks stormy out, if it changes temp within 2 minutes from warm and humid to cold. And the drive in scene wasn’t the actual drive in here, the flash at night behind the screen was the only true part, the garage, layout and everything isn’t there. The drive in is called The Beacon and it’s in Guthrie about 40 minutes north from where I live.

[@caseytaylor2941]

Omg a CLASSIC I was OBSESSED. Also, being from the south, tornados literally sound like animal growls.

I just binged Mad about You last year. Helen hunt is under rated as great lead women in tv. Her character on that show was so strong and amazing. Strong tough lead. She had so much attitude in a fun way she was the one who stood up for herself and Paul. She was great.

The way you pronounced the director’s name was like Joey from Friends trying to speak French. Lol

[@roxystriar]

Lmao amazing reference

[@CarlosGarcia-ni5ug]

Greg the cow in the tornado scene was remade for a capital one commercial featuring Bill Paxton from a few years ago. RIP Paxton

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

Still one of the greatest disaster movies of all time in my opinion. Quite possibly the greatest but that's just my opinion again

[@matthewpopp1054]

Twister and Dante’s Peak are my 1 and 2

[@DTreaN14]

I've been waiting for this movie for ages glad you finally doing it

[@dudemantoys2061]

Seeing Twister in theatres is one of my most memorable movie going experiences :)

“Ugh…you’re so boring, Melissa” took me out 😂

[@tayamackenzie8793]

“Huhuh! Melissa, you became slightly interesting.” 😭🤣🤣🤣

[@tayamackenzie8793]

“Gah, Melissa! Make yourself useful!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This movie used to scare the crap out of me. I got caught in a tornado as a kid and it seriously kicked off my anxiety

[@NJSillaStew]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE OMG, I just woke up and when I saw this notification I clicked on it immediately.

[@araani8740]

One of my favourite movies!!

[@rogersjgregory]

Jan de Bont also directed Speed two years earlier, and was the cinematographer on Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October. I love this movie, and it’s one of my favourite performances from Bill Paxton.

I will NEVER understand why he thought grabbing the door during a tornado was a good idea. He could of lived if he had just stayed with Jo & her mom in the corner away from any possible debris.

"There was another Bill, an EVIL Bill, and I killed him."

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Also one of my favorites, very excited for the sequel! My family and friends have been saying "We've got cows!" ever since. 😁

[@AudiFrog]

aaaaaye, me and my family quote that too!!

[@missandi1971]

One of my favorite movies. Helen Hunt was starring in the sitcom Mad About You with one Paul Reiser (AKA Dr. Sam Owens from Stranger Things) as her husband.

[@Harri927]

This movie is my favorite disaster movie of all time and it's a classic.

[@NuKnightRider]

And it’s called a water spout. They’ve also been shooting for Twisters for the past week and a half in OKC and Okarche.

[@PreMal2023]

OMG! This was my favourite movie growing up. So glad you guys are watching it.

[@ElvesofZion]

Alan Ruck fan here, I regulary say "Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wise"

[@Jigsaw407]

One of my favorite movies of all time ... I love the characters, I love the summer time vibe, I love the awesome soundtrack and I love the tornado action. I watch Twister at least once a year, always on a hot, humid thunderstormy evening!

[@yazzyscorner1173]

it's them saying they never seen a tornado and it's me a southern woman sitting on her porch watching one go by🤣

[@keremels]

This is one of those movies that, even though outdated, still works regardless. Jan Dubont's first movie I believe, first before Speed.
