I remember when this came out people were saying that the tornadoes were the most realistic sounding and maybe the most realistic portrayal of tornadoes in cinema. I feel like the cgi has overall really stood up over time.

[@Hiraghm]

There's some major flaws, in my experience. First, most tornadoes I've seen, when you're close up, are shrouded in rain. Half the time you can't see them for the rain. Especially when they hit at sundown.

[@UahUahUah]

@@Hiraghm This is only the case in high-precipitation storms. If all of these tornadoes were discrete supercell thunderstorms, it's highly likely they could be in a low-precipitation environment and thus not shrouded in rain and highly visible. It all just depends.

[@pulkmees]

Didn't they purposely add animal noises to make them actually roar. How is that the most realistic ?

I saw this with my now ex-wife on opening day in an empty theater. The drive in movie scene made me jump when I saw the interference on the TV screen. My wife at the time asked me why I jumped. I let her know that the moving air and debris in a tornado creates an EMP type electromagnetic impulse that messes with TV and radio signals. I didn't tell her that the summer before I punched the core in a small tornado in my Jeep Wrangler. The radio made a rhythmical warble sound due to the interference and the wind hit us from one side, then the other as me and my nephew drove through it. And, yes, back in the '80s I did see flying cows.

Fun fact: Jami Gertz, who plays Melissa, the fiance, is one of the wealthiest actors in the world, if not the wealthiest. Thpugh she has had a successful film and TV career (Twister, Less Than Zerom The Lost Boys, Sixteen Candles) in the 80s and 90s, her husband Tony Ressler is co-founder of Ares Management which owns the NBA team The Atlanta Hawks, and the MLB team The Milwaukee Brewers. So...she's worth around $8 BILLION as of 2024. The story for the film was co-written by Michael Cricton, the novelist behind Jurassic Park. Helen Hunt was four years into her run as the co-star of the hit sitcom Mad About You when she made this, and one year away from winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for As Good As It Gets, which co-starred Jack Nicholson (who won Best Actor for the same film). The film was directed by Jan De Bont, who also directed Speed.

[@swytchyglytch]

For some people, storm chasing is an adrenalin thing, like sky diving. But for most people, it's just that they love storms and meteorology. Chasing and spotting are a way that they can use their knowledge and interest to help others stay safe. I can't tell if you cut it off right at the kiss or if you kept watching for a bit, but if you keep watching, the camera continues to pull back for an ultra-wide shot and you can see the path of the tornado and just how huge it was.

I'd seen Twister in the theater and several days later was in again for another movie. That movie kept getting these menacing roars at odd times and I didn't understand until it hit me that the adjacent room was the largest theater in my state, with the best sound system for its time, and Twister was playing. The storm sound effects were just that powerful. I'm not surprised it received an Oscar nomination for Sound Effects.

[@StormChaserMaci.]

[@CorwinPatrick]

I did the Movie Room for a gaming convention for years. One year we were in one of the daylight basement rooms of the Dorm building the convention was being held in. With one of the doors open, and the Powered Sub in my system, you could hear some of the storms a couple blocks away. lol.

[@TheTallHattedOne]

I have a few storm chaser friends. A lot of them love this movie. The appeal is the adrenaline rush, and just a love for the raw power they're witnessing. They live by the slogan "Never stop chasing." Even as dangerous as it looks only 3 chasers have ever been directly killed by a tornado.

Although you couldn't see it in Addie's video here, the next time you watch the film, right after the F5 is gone and the slats of wood are falling, look for the one that is slowly flipping over and falling towards the camera. It had the director's last name "de Bont" written on it.

the scale is measured on the amount of damage done. That's why El Reno was downgraded from an F5.

One hit Oakfield in 1996 that was rated an F5. The same year this came out. Debris was found east to the shore of Lake Michigan, and they found cancelled checks across the lake in Muskegon, MI.

IMHO the older farmers know the weather better than anyone trained by a school. Bill in the film shows a sense every farmer develops that no school can teach.

[@Lunzatis_Palemoon]

I wouldn't say Storm Chasers like Tornadoes, it's more a fascination with an unknown and trying to help people. Storm Chasers help provide a lot of helpful information to the towns and weather stations about the storms and the location of the tornadoes. They have also helped as initial rescue groups. They try to help people as much as they can before and after these storms. Stormchasers have helped save lives and continue to do so. That being said, there is definitely an aspect of craziness to them because you have to be a bit crazy to chase something that is as dangerous and unpredictable as tornadoes.

[@minnesotarc7964]

I've seen this movie thousands of times (the miles on the truck when see looked at his speed was about 932) and was going to be a meteorologist because of this movie, but fate had other plans, though became a spotter for the National Weather Service.

[@bobsylvester88]

Hi Addie! My son and I chase tornadoes in the Ohio/Indiana area. In 2020 he was 18 and went out on his own chasing a tornado at night around the Dayton, Ohio area. You’re not supposed to chase at night because you can’t see the tornado except when lightning flashes. That’s actually shown in the movie when they’re at the drive-in theater. There’s a possibility you could drive right into the tornado and not even realize it. Anyway, he spotted the tornado and called it into the weather service. They issued a warning and people took cover. Eventually categorized as an F-4,(166-200mph) the tornado caused an estimated $1.5 billion in damage, making it the sixth most expensive tornado in history, yet it only killed three people. We have countless messages from people telling us how the warning saved their lives. I get a lump in my throat just thinking about it now.

[@stillninja2741]

Yes, the adrenaline is great but being able to see something so magnificent in person is a whole other world.

The tornado that hit Joplin, MO in 2011 was an EF-5. I moved from there the year before.

[@beezyqueen]

people do it for adrenaline rush and because nature is huge and amazing - kind of the same reason a lot of miyazaki movies feel so grand. size is a marvel.

[@RemoGutierrez1]

That "Shining" scene scared the hell out of me too.

[@Dasharr]

There are as many motivations for storm chasing as there are people who do it, I think. The adrenaline isn't usually it, though - it's very exciting for short periods, but there's so. many. hours. spent by a roadside looking at the sky and waiting. Obviously the movies skip that bit. 😊 It's worth it, but thrill-seekers would probably get bored. That scene with the group all yelling to go to the aunt's place for food is one of the realistic little details in the movie. When you're on full-on active chasing you can be stuck having fast food for lunch and dinner day after day, and the craving for proper food is real.

[@TaterAvila]

I read a lot of journals that were wrote by soldiers during the American Civil War, and 1 person had a similar experience as the F5 barn scene at the end of the movie. His name was Sam Watkins and he fought for the Confederacy and served in the 2nd Tennessee Infantry. 2 years into the war he wrote about a night in camp, it was storming and raining and lightning flashes was the only time he could see anything. He saw a bunch of his men come running out of the trees shouting to everyone run. Sam and a young soldier Billy ran and took shelter in a near by barn. He describes everything was pitch black, things slamming into the walls and sounded like a runaway locomotive. It lasted only a few minutes and after it passed he looked up and saw the roof was gone. He rolled over and saw Billy had his head and chest crushed in with bricks. He saw his arm was broken and his body was otherwise mutilated. He went on to say Billy was about 16 with curly blonde hair, and that he looked like a girl. The book is Sam Watkins: Company Aytch "

Melissa is a therapist and can read the room pretty well. She is taking a realistic look at everything and is making the best decisions for everyone. The most important thing though is that all of that beef didn't go to waste.

Growing up in the north end of Tornado Alley it was common to see these especially in the spring time. I've followed many tornadoes over the years. We once had one that dropped from a single thunder head cloud with sunshine all around us and was on the ground for over 20 miles. I followed to from the time it spawned until it dissipated. That one was only an F2. Thankfully the damage was minimal and no one was injured or killed from that one. An example of an F5 tornado is the one that hit Joplin, MO. in 2011. It had a damage path a mile in width. The tornado was on the ground for 46 minutes. It did $2.8 billion in damages making it the most costly tornado in US history. 1,150 people were injured and there were 158 deaths.

Hey addie, if you want to see what an F5 tornado looks like and the damage it can leave behind, might i suggest looking up the Moore and El Reno tornado of 2013. Aerial pics of the damage makes if look like as if God himself dragged his finger across the land, Hence the term. The El Reno tornado was the biggest ever recorded in earths history with a 2.6 mile wide base and recorded wind speeds of just over 300 MPH. Also perhaps the reason we like watch tornadoes is because the absolute raw natural power they possess. You cant help but stare in awe.

This movie inspired a generation of new storm chasers. Since this movie was made, the Fujita (F) scale has been revised and is now referred to as the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. The last EF5 tornado that occurred in the United States was almost 11 years ago which struck Moore, OK on May 20, 2013. The widest tornado ever recorded was the May 31, 2013 El Reno tornado, which was 2.6 miles wide. That tornado was originally classified as an EF5, but was later downgraded to an EF3.

The guy on TV at 1:17 is Gary England, he was a meteorologist in Oklahoma, my home state for 41+ years before he retired. F5 tornadoes are really rare.

Me too. Twisters (2024) is going to feel VERY intense & awesome in IMAX. That's why I'm very excited to see that movie with my girlfriend in July. I'm also suggesting that movie to Addie. #TwistersForAddieCounts

That's Philip Seymour Hoffman. He quit drugs and alcohol when he was 22 years old and remained sober for 23 years. In 2014, he relapsed and died from an OD. Usually, I'm not really affected when a celebrity dies. After all, I don't personally know them but in his case, for some reason, it did affect me.

We just had a huge tornado come through last night in mid/northern Ohio. Luckily we are ok but was very scary! Sounded like a train outside. The warnings where only reason we knew it was coming.

[@Hiraghm]

There was a tornado that passed over my house in 2002? Took out a piece of fence on either side... as it went over, it sounded like a jet engine. The El Reno tornado sounded kind of like frying bacon... because all I could hear was the torrential rains pounding my car.

[@Hiraghm]

I remember driving back to my apt in the middle of the night after the El Reno tornado. The entire city was black, with some lights in the distance. I got turned around, ended up going down Newcastle road... took the next turn north... The railroad crossing alarm was going off... it was also canted at a 30 degree angle. I crossed the tracks, started driving north toward the city lights still on... Suddenly they all went out. I slowed, but kept going, wondering if there'd been a power failure. Then my headlights showed the corrugated metal building that had been blown directly onto the road ahead of me.

I would play Twister with you, Addie ❤ A number of natural disaster movies were released in the 90s. I'd recommend you watch Volcano (1997), with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. When Jo and Bill were inside the tornado at the end, yes they could have been killed by flying debris, but people have also died from suffocation, by having the air sucked out of their lungs by the twister's updraft. You might not like this, Addie, but for anyone who liked the movie, you should check out the Discovery channel documentary series from a few years ago called Storm Chasers, about a group of storm chasers and an IMAX film director who built a special vehicle to be able to shoot footage from inside a tornado.

[@BubbaCoop]

There's a few good Wizard of Oz references other than Dorothy. Toby, Aunt M(eg), the Judy Garland movie she's watching right before the tornado hits.

[@Soundtracks92]

RIP Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman :( you were both great in Twister

[@TJMiton]

the special effects in this movie are low key some of the best of all time. go look up which scenese are CGI, theyre mostly completely flawless, especially for when this movie came out.

[@tommc4916]

DOROTHY somewhat resembles TOTO, the TOtable Tornado Observatory. TOTO didn't have flying sensors and never actually flew, although it did get sideswiped once and knocked over. The first direct internal observation of a tornado in US history was done by a flat, disc-shaped sensor that took a direct hit from an F4. That tornado completely wiped an entire small town off the map and it was never rebuilt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester,_South_Dakota en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_South_Dakota_tornado_outbreak There is video (from the sensor's cameras) of the direct hit that's worth a look if you're interested in that sort of thing.

[@ssj2kenshin]

fun fact about the shining. they timed it just right at the part where Jonny was like. HERES JONNY at the door where he cut it open with the axe and the twister ripped the theater screen. with his face in the middle of it

[@richardkinley8872]

Addie this may be inappropriate but if you need someone to play Twister with I volunteer as tribute! 😂🤣

[@sean_b_drummer]

The only error I've found in this movie: in the opening scene (1969) Jo's dad says the news was calling for an F5, but the Fujita Scale wasn't invented until 1971. Side note: Aunt Meg's dog is played by at least three different actors. The fuel truck that blows up is Benthic Petroleum, the same company that owns the oil rig in, The Abyss.

[@jomojojo6603]

Am I wrong that Jo's dog (when she was a kid) is the same breed as Toto?

[@cyberingcatgirls7069]

@@jomojojo6603 You are not wrong, it's an easter egg.

[@Sturmwurst44]

The only error????? live in OK and this movie was full of errors. The sequel just wrapped filming all around my local area.

[@tornadodreams]

We started to create a drinking game for each mistake but we would all end up in the hospital.

[@sinistermaul306]

Always love your movie reactions. This is one of my favorite movies. Although I may be a little biased since it was filmed in my home state.

[@bryanrhenderson6510]

I was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Many many times we heard the air raid sirens go off and everyone, who had one, we didn’t, ran to the storm cellar. We got to my grandparents house and got in theirs. At school we all went to the basement.

[@tornadodreams]

Still watch this movie before i start every chase season but there are soooo many mistakes in this movie but still love it. RIP Bill

[@Robotic_Crafter]

*raises hand* I....I like tornadoes....yeah something's wrong with me. A tornado happens around where I live almost every year. I either fall asleep in the closet or my parents drag me inside because I'm recording with my camcorder.

[@MetastaticMaladies]

Love this film, I saw it in theaters as a kid. When we walked out onto the street, it was hailing and storming, I was convinced a tornado was coming lol
