Interesting fact - when Bill Paxton died in 2017 storm chasers from across the country converged on Kansas, Oklahoma, and northern Texas, and turned on their trackers to form his initials, BP, to thank him for everything he did for the storm chasing community.
Oh my word 😢that’s got me choking up.
This movie alone set a bunch of kids minds on that career! doesn’t surprise me at all, amazing tribute 🫡
They did the same when Tim Samaras died during the El Reno.... he was one who invented a probe, and was trying to get it placed, but they realized too late, the tornado had shifted, when his team was hit and killed. He was actually the ONLY scientist so far, to get any kind of probe into a tornado, an F 4 in Manchester, SD. REAL LIFE... not a movie. Their colleagues from all over wrote T S from the US up into Canada.
Fun fact: The "Dorothy" and "D.O.T. 3" equipment in the movie is based on an actual project called "Toto" that works exactly the same way as described in the film. Thanks to "Toto", we now know a lot more about the wind dynamics of tornadoes, how they develop and move than was previously known.
Actually, TOTO was deemed a failure, as it was sideswiped only once by a weak tornado, and the readings were inconsistent. A much more significant intercept was made by the late Tim Samaras, who's probe was successfully deployed into the Manchester, SD F4, and recorded a 100 mb pressure drop in the center of the funnel, which is the equivalent of instantly rising 18 stories in a skyscraper.
Cool info, thank you!
@@twisterdavemd1 RIP Tim
And then in 2016, Tim Marshall and his team in “TWIRL”, successfully had a pod hit by the Sulphur, OK EF3!
I really did like how they didn't make Melissa a villain. She was just a girl caught up with two people that weren't ready to divorce. And she handled it like a boss. (The breakup with Bill). Lesson learned: NEVER plan to marry somebody who do not have signed divorce papers.
she was they worst part of the movie
@@hardcorehistorybuff5230 She was one of the most important parts of the movie given that she's the reason that the audience becomes well-informed about tornado chasing.
@@jp3813 worst part of the movie is her
@@hardcorehistorybuff5230 One of the most important parts of the movie is her.
@@jp3813 no lmao
When Amber talked about her Dad's back-in-the-day plan to drive the family away from tornados and tie them to "a deeply rooted tree" in a canyon...😮. Why did I feel tears start to well up? Something about a parent trying to protect your family with everything you have within your resources...❤
One thing I really appreciate about this movie is that pretty often when you have two competing love interests, one of them is "bad" and you're rooting against them the whole movie. But with Twister, Dr. Reeves isn't a bad person, she's just not the right person and you can really sympathize with her because she didn't do anything wrong.
Good point. Very much a "Casablanca" scenario.
I love both characters. One is tough as nails and very action oriented and the other is comically oblivious but intelligent as well.
They picked the perfect actors to play these women.
Unpopular opinion, but I really didn't like this. This entire part of the story is just so unnecessary. Why starting with the two main characters getting divorced when they are clearly perfect for eachother?
It's just an unspoken rule in Hollywood that disaster movies always have to include broken relationships. Even if the main storyline has absolutely nothing to do with this, they violently shove it in there. This stereotypical writing is what prevents this good movie from being excellent.
@@Mis7erSeven It doesn't matter if it is "popular" or not, it is your opinion. I can see where you are coming from and I agree it is common. I would just counter that every good protagonist needs flaws, things to over come, in order to grow and have a good character arc. Joe's flaw in this case was her obsession. While it was a good thing in terms of pursuing a better means of a tornado warning system, it was detrimental for her relationship. Even if they are perfect for each other, she could not see or focus on that. Her growth was resolving that obsession.
Also don't confuse modern day Hollywood with 20th century Hollywood. Modern day is a lot more cut, copy, and paste.
I also think you have a little scotoma when it comes to this. Not an insult, as we all tend to suffer from this in one way or another. I just say it because I can think of a lot of disaster movies that do not have broken relationships; though I guess it would also depend on what you deem as broken. Do you include past relationships, i.e. divorce/widow(er), for instance "Dante's Peak". Off the top of my head, disaster films such as "Deepwater Horizon", "Daylight", "The Core", "The Day After Tomorrow", "The Perfect Storm", "Volcano", and "Titanic" do not feature broken relationships. I guess technically in "Titanic" a relationship breaks (leaves her Fiance for Jack), so I guess that would depend on whether you see the ending of the engagement as the feature or the beginning of a new relationship as the feature.
There are a lot of disaster films that do feature a broken relationship, like you said, but I think that is more a reflection of society than a plot device; it can be both I guess.
Anyway, something to think about. Cheers.
That's what I appreciate about 90s movies. Likeable characters and a great plot, but no toxic characters or gender stereotypes. So no frickin identity politics or an obsession by the writers and directors about "representation" and "inclusion" like movies and TV shows today.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Bill Paxton in this film were amazing. They were such fun characters in this story.
May they still RIP forever. ❤ Their legacy lives on in these classic films.
"Loser! ..Loser!" - Phillip Seymour Hoffman. RIP to him and Bill Paxton
I spent a evening with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He was a man without an ego. By the way Ben Stiller is human trash!!!
This was the first movie I ever saw PSH in, and he played this character so well I honestly thought he was a real storm chaser that they asked to be in the film.
Amen
Loved Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the Hunger Game movies. He died too soon. Bill Paxton's been in a ton of wonderful movies they should react to, like Titantic, True Lies, Apollo 13, and Stripes. I'd really like to see them react to Helen Hunt's movie As Good As It Gets. 😊
Always loved this movie. The special effects were pretty fantastic considering this was made 27 years ago. Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton did a great job. . Thanks for reacting to this movie. I guess you will never look at a tornado warning the same again.
this movie has aged well.
Every time I see this movie I remember how much I miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He just fills the screen even when his role is small like here playing the crazy hippy type character. He plays it larger than life and it really adds to the movie. He is so missed in movies now. RIP.
Yeah. He was brilliant in this
One of the largest ranges of any actor. To play such a uncouth slob in this, and the anal retentive brainiac roommate in Patch Adam's, and play them noth equally well. Real lost treasure!
Dusty is legit the best supporting character in any film I've ever seen. He's got such soul. I feel like most of us know that borderline crazy guy who hardly ever takes anything seriously but has a huge heart and will climb straight into a collapsing house to save you if things get truly dire. Though I'd still enjoy this movie without the character, his presence truly elevates it to a whole new level. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman
Between this and his role in Big Libowski…. Man was a genius
i miss Bill Paxton too
"I gotta go. We got cows." One of my favorite movie lines. 😂
LOL I still use that line whenever I want to hang up the phone with some of my friends.
Aware enough to remind herself to breathe. 😂
“More cows!”
“I think that was the same one! “
I use this weekly 😂
I have NEVER clicked a reaction faster. Amazing film, and the late great Bill Paxton is one of my all time favourites.
I never get tired of watching this movie! I grew up in OK, moved away for 30 years, and moved back in 2011. It took awhile to get used to tornado season again. I drove through an F-4 tornado in Oklahoma County back in 1978. I was 21 yrs. old, and I'm told the base was about 2 miles wide. It was terrifying, but luckily I didn't run into any flying debris, and it was hovering close to the ground, but never actually touched. Dustin's character was played by a younger Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who later became a celebrated actor who amassed an impressive list of film credits and won the Oscar as Best Actor in 2005 for the title role of Truman Capote in the biopic “Capote.” Hoffman tragically passed away in 2014 at the age of 46. The leading man, Bill was played by Bill Paxton, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 62. Rest In Peace to both of these actors. Thanks for a great reaction and movie choice! ✌💙✌
Melissa deserves credit for facing facts quicker and being mature about it. She realizes she is not cut out for it and that Billy still loves it. It breaks my heart when she overhears Billy and Joe talking.
I just enjoyed the reversal of roles ... in movies, its usually the guy who won't sign the divorce papers, who won't give up the "all important thing", and who has to convince the woman to stay
Real character development... we've been deprived for so long 🤷🏼♂️
I felt bad for her. When she says she knows her way home and walked off, she looked so alone.
@@livvyb3583 But she said she was okay and not upset. Most mature "triangle" ever. No one involved was a "bad guy".
Seriously, she’s a hell of a woman. Good luck finding real women like that today. Lol
I really liked the fiance in this movie. She was completely out of her element but stuck through tornados and almost died to stay with what she hoped was her future husband. It was only when he was obviously not over his old life with Jo and storm chasing that she gracefully bowed out and stayed behind. It wasn't fear. She realized she'd lost him. She was a smart, observant woman and, in my opinion, not just a little bit more attractive than Jo/Helen Hunt. She'll be fine without him.
Here we go again.. comparing women's looks. You just had to go there, didn't you, you shallow person, you. Not going to compare the men's looks though? Of course not. Nothing about the acting of the characters.. And then, if Helen Hunt had had eye surgery like Renee Zellweger, people like you would be complaining she doesn't look like herself anymore. Never satisfied. I'd like to see what you would look like after years chasing tornadoes.
Agreed, they could have SO easily made her the kind of girl who'd say "What's it going to be, Billy: me or Jo?" She's pretty, but she's smart to know when she's beat. Bill loves this life, and still loves Jo. That scene on the hill where Bill essentially confesses his deepest feelings is so deep as she hears Bill pour out his heart for the person he still loves and has never stopped loving. Before when he and Jo were dancing on the jetty after being spun around by the tornado, she could have maybe said "he's only into the excitement of it, that's all." After that on the hill, she knows it's not just the excitement he loves.
She's also pretty much the audience stand in, reacting to this horrible frightening weather in ways most people would. People who aren't scientists/meteorologists/whatever, and may never see a tornado in their whole life.
@@22Tesla Those are great points. I'm glad the movie portrayed her so well in the end.
"I'm gonna tag along"
(Almost gets hit by TWO falling cars, is over-fed, gets soaked, loses her lemonades, can't be with her patients but makes time to take calls during tornadoes, freaks out between 2 tornadoes with her soon-to-be ex and his ex wife)
Leaves and says "I'm not that upset"
Mad respect.
@@niles8102 I love that Melissa was written to be extremely intelligent in this movie (after all, you don't get to be a relationship counselor without having some serious brains). She could tell, based on the fact that she knew so little about Bill's life prior to meeting her, that their marriage was doomed to fail.
Either Bill was trying to run away from the past, or he wasn't over Jo, or he was too different to Melissa - Melissa knew by inference their marriage would never work if even one of these things was true (and it could have been all three).
...Also, LMAO at 'loses her lemonades' because that bit always deeply affected me as a kid. "NO, DON'T DRIVE, THE DRINKS ARE ON- NOOOOOO!!"
Effing HELL. Even after countless viewings over the years that opening scene is still absolutely terrifying!! 😱
If nothing else because of just how MONSTROUS the F-5 sounds, right? 😨😱
Oh, I still have nightmares, & I’m in my 30’s.
I know it's only a movie but daddy could have just stayed in the back of the shelter with his wife and daughter and lived.
"Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wise."
I LOVE this movie. I keep hoping they do a re-release for the anniversary.
Jeez-Mother of Christ!
(Eyes rolling)
They are planning to;) 2024 is the year.
They planning on making a second one
A sequel is being released next year
I hope they could make a rerelease of the movie on Blu-ray with more features, possibly deleted scenes, some ILM before and after, kinda like how Universal did with Jurassic Park.
Actors in this movie that you've seen in other reactions are Bill Paxton (Bill) as Morgan Earp in Tombstone; Cary Elwes (Jonas) from The Princess Bride, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, & Glory; Jami Gertz (Melissa) as Star in The Lost Boys; Alan Ruck (Rabbit) as Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Philip Seymour Hoffman (Dusty) as Lester Bangs in Almost Famous; & Jeremy Davies (Laurence) as Timothy Upham in Saving Private Ryan.
Good call outs
.. and, of course, Bill Paxton is the only person who has been killed by a Terminator, a Predator and an Alien, so he had to survive a Twister !
@@MrMousley Not really sure if his character actually died against the T-800.
@@MrMousley Also, these reactors have yet to watch Aliens & Predator 2.
one of those guys was on LOST
Honestly, I never get tired of watching this movie for some reason. RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, they both made this movie the way it was. Bless Helen Hunt as well
I remember an interview they did for some anniversary for it! Bill wouldnt meet Helen in person at all! she had won the oscar the year later and really had diva behaviour years after that!
Wait did Bill Paxton pass away...I did not hear that.
@@rebeccawyse5562 Yeah unfortunately, he died in 2017 from heart surgery complications.
@@rebeccawyse5562 Yeah, it's been awhile now 😢
@@johnbernhardtsen3008 She may be a diva, but I had to give her some flowers as well since she was one of the leads for the film
This is such a fun flick. Love Aunt Meg. “Did you see my cows out front?” “No…ohhhh”. 😂
Reminds me of my late grandma, same sense of humor through and through.
This gravy is famous. It's practically a food group.
Yes a great line
The first time I saw Minority Report and Lois Smith came on screen it took a moment to recognize her since the parts are like night and day. THAT, is the sign of a good actor.
@@terrylandess6072 Yeah, she’s great in that, too. Amazing film.
47:50 - The sound effects crew of the film used sounds from lion roars and growls, and trains (among other things) to produce that menacing sound effect of the tornados for this movie. The director wanted the storms in this film to have a very "organic" quality to them, so they've seem almost alive, like a menacing beast.
You always thank us for joining you at the end of your vids, but this time I want to say, thank _you_ guys for sharing your reaction to this one, in view of how close to home this hits (both figuratively and literally) for you. For Amber in particular, it was clear there were times when you were deeply unsettled and it must have taken serious courage to watch to the end. Thank you for making this sacrifice for us
This movie was one of the first big-destruction CGI movies to come out, between “Jurassic Park,” and “Independence Day.” It was huge. Great cast too! Love this flick.
Cary Elwes who played Dr. Jonas Miller was Westley in The Princess Bride. Alan Ruck who played Robert "Rabbit" was Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The cast was loaded with good actors.
Was gonna mention the same thing. Also his new wife to be was played by Jami Gertz, who herself was a pretty big deal in 80’s movies
It's wild how I've seen this movie so many times and I always forget Cary Elwes is in it. He does such a good job too!
He was also Robin Hood in Robin Hood Men in Tights. The only Robin Hood to speak with an English accent. 😁
Cary Elwes was also in Glory which they recently watched.
Dr. Jonas Miller was also Robin Hood in Men in Tights.
Fun Fact: Did you know "Twister" was filmed in Oklahoma? The town of Wakita, Oklahoma is located 15 or 20 miles north of El Reno and it has not only the Twister museum, but the Twister diner. The house Aunt Meg lived in is gone, the only thing that remains on the property is windmill structure.
I just wanted to share that when a tornado hit my hometown and damaged our house, the first people to show up the next morning and offer to help us, were two ladies from Moore, OK. They said that they wanted to help because other people had helped them after their tornado! They were just two of so many people who came to southeast Kansas to help our community!
Something I never see anyone mention. There is only one time in the entire Movie that Dusty is serious. and it is when Aunt Meg was in danger. I always see it as He considers Meg his family. Just seems like an awesome character moment to me
That moment made me love his character that much more.
That point at the dinner table where Paxton smiled hit me in the feels. I miss you, man.
RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman, one of our most gifted actors. RIP Bill Paxton, arguably the most versatile ever. He could be anyone.
I love Twister! Such an awesome movie. RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
I think the movie and its special effects still hold up incredibly well 27 years later.
Better than Disney😂
In college, a bunch of friends and I went to the theater to watch this movie at a noon showing. The sky was clear and sunny when we went in. After we finished watching the movie, we left theater to see the sky completely black and hail starting to fall (very similar to the tornado they chase right after the visit to Aunt Meg's house). It was a very eerie feeling.
Had the same thing happen to me. My kids and I were visiting my mom in East TX, went in during clear skies, came out to hail and dark. Wow
hey i went to see jurassic park when the surround imax theatres first open where the seat vibrating with the bass in the movie we were coming out of the theater to go to dinner and the thunder outside sounded just like the dinosours stomping around it was crazy.
Breathless. I'm breathless after watching this. Wow. It's been years since the . movie but it's one you don't forget. Rest in peace Bill Paxton. He gave so much to this role. Helen Hunt was brilliant and the whole cast was.Thank the stars the dog was saved?
I saw this in the theater when it came out. One of the best theater experiences I have ever had. Bill Paxton, who plays Bill, has been in several great movies. Check out "Frailty" next. It is so under rated and has a twist ending like "Sixth Sense."
Love that movie. Powers Booth, Matthew McConaughey.
This was def worth watching in the cinema,... especially with the surround speakers roaring. Fantastic 👍
I believe a remake is on the way at some point.
Frailty is great. It’s like Sixth Sense, in that there’s a twist (or two) you won’t see coming. Biblical horror.
Universal Studios Florida used to have a Twister attraction experience. It was a recreation of the Drive Inn Movie scene.
@@brentsmediacorner5976 I thought the ride started out with a calm drive-in feel then quickly changed. I vaguely remember being on a type of train car where we felt trapped in earthquake like danger by the tornadic winds swirling above (street broke with under water pipes bursting causing flooding, wind waves pushing the car toward a wall you expect to hit but don’t at the last second, holding on to the handles as your shifted by uncontrollable forces of Mother Nature, items flying around seemingly uncontrolled, etc). I thought it was part of the Twister ride experience based on the movie but also included parts of other natural disaster reactions like earthquakes and hurricanes. The uncontrollable forces of nature being observed and felt through a theme park experience. Did they take that park of the park over with Harry Potter land where you stand in line for 2 hours to buy a plastic wand or wooden stick, or better yet a 2 hour line for chocolate in the shape of a frog and a jelly bean that tastes like vomit?
Jays face when the dad was taken away with the cellar door was my whole mood watching this movie in the 90s. These pre-millennial movies really hit the emotions hard.
Same for real that part used to scare me as a child
I grew up watching this national treasure of a movie from VHS to DVD to Blu-ray! Seeing u react to this makes me appreciate it much more. RIP Bill Paxton & Phillip Seymour Hoffman❤
This movie makes me believe I could’ve been a storm chaser in a past live. Watched it countless times and I absolutely love it to this day. 🌪️
You still can be.
As disaster movies go, this is the top of the stack. Everything is just perfect. Next I'd recommend another great '90's disaster movie, "Dante's Peak". Really well done, edge of the seat thrill ride.
Volcano is great as well and then the core even tho it was cheesy as hell still a good flick.
This movie has two Van Halen soundtrack songs - Human’s being ( around 23 minute mark) and the end credits - Respect the wind -an amazing instrumental Eddie and Alex Van Halen wrote and played together. It even got a Grammy nom. Great reaction🙌
They need to react to these songs so badly
Yes!
This movie holds a special place in my heart, it's partially responsible for bringing my husband and I together. We used it as part of a college science presentation that we worked on for the whole semester, which we gave at the end. After spending all that time together working on it he asked me out on a real date, watching this movie was our first study date. We've been together for 26 years now, married for almost 22 years of that. Such a good movie and done so well.
That is an amazing love story! Congrats to both!
How cool!
I saw this in the theaters. It was fantastic. And, this screenplay was written by the late great Micheal Crichton. That makes it even greater; It felt like a Micheal Crichton story. This is an adaptation of one of his books that was never written.
This movie was also dedicated to all the storm chasers that were out there at the time, and in the near future of individuals who do this type of research to help with the advanced warning for the towns, or the certain area that they are locating the tornado. Along with that, they did extensive research if you do the special effects and stuff like that they really did their research on this🤠
This legendary movie was my childhood. I'm now a fully blown storm chaser for the NWS.
So glad you guys are watching this. Living in Missouri, this is a springtime tradition in our house. I can quote this whole movie! “You’ve never seen it miss this house and that house, and come for you!” Be safe and enjoy! ❤
Jo is to tornadoes what Captain Ahab is to Moby Dick.
Yup, that's my wife and me, too, and our sons, as well. Love Twister!
Yo! 😊 Missourians unite! 😂
@@RabbitsFunWorld “The rabbit is good. The rabbit is wise.”👍
I haven't seen anyone mention this, so sorry if I'm sounding like a repeat! 🤪
Jo was obviously traumatized by her childhood experiences and losing her Daddy that way. I honestly think that is why she was trying to see the inside of a big twister - to experience/see/feel what her Daddy did in his last moments. The ending of the movie let her get closure as they saw and heard what being in the middle of the monster was really like! Perhaps the movie was trying to point that out to us by showing that look-alike family.
That was an amazing reaction! Thank you so much for watching this icon! Believe it or not, they actually interviewed 2 people who actually were in the middle of the tornado and survived. So everything Bill and Jo saw were exactly as the survivors described it. Helen Hunt has also been in these films: Quarterback Princess, based on true story about a girl being a kicker on all boys football team, and Soul Surfer, which based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton’s shark attack and overcoming her obstacles to get back in the water. If you want more natural disaster films I recommend Dante’s Peak and Volcano. 👩🏼👨🏻🌪
I recommend "Day After Tomorrow" Its a really great Flick
@@shaunjones6343I prefer the prequel "the day before tomorrow: aka today"
I am from Moore, Oklahoma , left in 94. My grandparents house was destroyed in the big 99 tornado. I believe it still holds the record for the highest wind speeds ever recorded. I have lots of pictures of the neighborhood after that tornado. The devastation was massive in Moore in that area. This was one of my favorite movies growing up especially being from Oklahoma and being a storm fanatic myself. I actually studied meteorology and wanted to be a storm chaser growing up, never came to fruition but I still fallow many storm chasers during storm season.
El Reno tornado ten years ago holds the record now.
El Riño is now the strongest & biggest ever recorded. I am a witness to that monster.
@@kevinwilliams7143 I believe you're right, although there are some who will hold that up for debate. It was no doubt the largest overall at a total diameter of 2.5 miles, but was classified as either a strong EF3 or solid EF4. Those who know from first-hand experience know the legendary EF5 status for that storm.
@@kevinwilliams7143it holds the record for its incredible size at 2.6 miles wide, as far as wind speed the Bridge creek/ Moore Oklahoma had a wind speed of 302 mph… el Reno wasn’t quite that high!!!
This is definitely one of my favorite films, although I live on the east coast, where we're more prone to hurricanes than tornadoes. Thanks to "Twister", I now follow several storm chasers who live stream their chases here on UA-cam, like Reed Timmer, Aaron Jayjack and several others. Those in the storm chasing community worship this movie. When Bill Paxton passed away, hundreds of storm chasers did a tribute to him by forming the letters "BP" on a map that has dots to show the location of each chaser while they are chasing, spanning over parts of Oklahoma and Kansas, with the center being over Wakita (where Aunt Meg lived.) Storm chasers are truly some of the bravest people on the planet and like in this movie, their efforts benefit so many others.
This movie birthed an entire generation of chasers.
Do you follow Ryan Hall Y'all? He's got a great UA-cam channel for storms, and goes live with reports from storm chasers. Excellent coverage across the country.
@@bjdefilippo447 I do! He has great content and I appreciate his forecasts.
I love the Pecos Hank channel 😊
That loss still hurts! Him and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. 💔💔😭😭😭 I heard they are making a sequel, in which Bill and Jo have a grown daughter.
Glad you two enjoyed this one! This is a classic for me. Must've seen this movie over 40 times. Was a kid when we rented it from Blockbuster. I watched it 5 times in one day. Such a fun time. Never gets old for me.
One of the most re watchable movies I've seen. The special effects, the music, the acting, its all a perfect combo.
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid but the intro scene used to terrify me and I would fast forward through until I was probably like 8 or 9 years old 😅
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I got to see this in the theater when it came out. It is the only movie I have ever gone to see in the theater twice. It is a great movie but in the theater, it was phenomenal!
TWISTER is one of the movies that I sit down and watch every time it comes on, without fail.
This movie has two of the last VanHalen songs written while Sammy Hagar was in the band. Also, it marketed as one of the first truly realistic surround sound, Dolby DTS 5.1 DVD's. I had a roommate that was an audiophile that spent every last penny he had on a huge component system. He would put this movie on for everyone he met because you could hear the cows spinning around you and the debris whipping around you.
Yeah that’s so true!
Seeing this movie as a kid made me so intrigued by nature! I agree, I LIVE watching thunderstorms too. I've never been close to a tornado, but my mother did. She also said that the tornado had sounded like a train! Its not uncommon to hear that. This movie did a great job on all fronts. The tornados themselves seemed to have a personality of their own, even somewhat as a villain with the added growling on top of the storm. I'm so glad you got to see this one of a kind film. There have been other tornado movies but without all the practical pieces and effects it doesn't even come close to this movie.
Fun reaction, as usual. I saw this movie in the theater when it came out in May 1996. I'm also a fellow Oklahoman so I had a lot of the same feelings you did. I've always enjoyed this movie (we've had the DVD for 20 years) but, in a movie full of lots of silliness, the craziest thing is them being in the "eye of the tornado". I know it's Hollywood but if that really happened, they would've both been impaled by wood planks, metal and other debris traveling 250mph. LOL.
This film had AMAZING special effects for 1996. Also, the guy who was your favorite, Dustin, was played by a young Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the final game master in The Hunger Games.
Academy award for Capote?
*Such a great movie and the special effects look amazing for a movie made in 1995/1996*
This movie is a favorite of both me and my hubby! I never get tired of it. 😊 We are fellow Okies, except we are in the Tulsa area. So glad you guys loved this movie! 💜
"As Good As It Gets" (1997) is the other best movie with Helen Hunt in it (and she won the Best Actress Oscar, and Jack Nicholson won the Best Actor Oscar, and Greg Kinnear won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and the movie won its Oscar). Something to see some day.
Summer of 96 was so much fun. I worked at movie theater and got free passes. I must have seen Twister a dozen times. It was like a roller coaster. We could hear the tornadoes from the concession stand because of the digital sound.
96 had some great films that still hold up today. Twister, Independence Day and Scream are some of my favorites along with Mission Impossible, The Rock, The Nutty Professor, A Time To Kill, Ransom, Broken Arrow, Executive Decision, Courage Under Fire, The Long Kiss Goodnight, just to name a few.
Talk about rumbling bass
Can we also give a big huge Amen to Lois Smith (Aunt Meg). A stellar actress whose career goes from 1952 to today . She played in some historical Broadway, Movie, and Television productions. Over 60 movies. 90 Television series, 11 Broadway productions, 37 Off Broadway, and her latest movie was just last year. Incredible character and method actress. She won three Life Time Achievement awards, and 4 other awards for theater roles and best supporting actress. She is one of my favorites of all time. As of last year she hit 70 years in the business for all three; Motion Pictures, Broadway, and Television. How many actors can say that. She is one of the GOATS. Canadian Grandma, Lori. C.
Great choice! Love this movie. “Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wise.” RIP Bill Paxton.
I have rewatched this movie so many times, I love it. RIP Bill and Phillip...
Jami Gertz's part in this film is essential. She's all of us in it. Her character makes the danger more real.
She was also essential so they had someone to explain the science stuff to that filled us all in without it seeming like a documentary LOL
@@paulmellette8925 Totally!!
She's from my hometown!
The Lost Boys, Crossroads, love her.

One of the first movies ever released on DVD, possibly THE first, and one of my favorites. Original idea by Micheal Crichton who wrote Jurassic Park, Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are great characters… it’s a good time for me who lives outside Tornado Alley, I’m so glad you guys watched this one living in the area. Sorry if it was traumatic for y’all.
Thank you for reacting to this film it’s one of my favourites. I used to live in South Texas and we used to have tornado’s. Our storm shelter was a room under the stairs in the middle of the house. One day I was driving with my daughter to the mall to get her school uniform and we saw three floors of a store blow away so we turned round and went the other way
I love this movie. I know it has issues, but it is a guilty pleasure for me. The feel, the caracters, chasing, the landscape. Lovely. The midwest looks beautiful. And the scene with Bill and Hoffman almost brings a tear to my eye, now they are both gone.
Terrible movie but a guilty pleasure.
It doesn't have any issues for me, lol! I love this movie, no bad parts.
@@jenniferfoster1692 yeah idk what they’re talking about - an entertaining action/disaster movie with a great score, good characters, and fun scenes!
Eddie Van Halen did a tune for the soundtrack called Respect the Wind, stunning tune.
There was actually a ride based on this movie at Universal Studios! Great reaction you two! 🙂❤
Still remember watching at the movies when it came out. I remember feeling the floor shaking/vibrating from the sheer roar of the tornado sound from the speakers...
Watching this in the theater when it first came out was so intense‼️ I’ll never forget, with the Dolby Surround Sound, how the seats literally shook and you actually felt like you were in the middle of the tornado! The sound and especially the “growl” of the tornado made you feel like it was a huge living monster coming to get you! It was simply terrifying‼️🫣😫
Agreed. It’s one of those movies that was made for the theater.
My uncle lives in Broken Arrow, OK. They don't get tornadoes as frequently as Moore, but he's had some scary moments over the past 40 years. Every time I see weather alerts for OK, my heart sinks.
This soundtrack has some great music!
I wanted to be a storm chaser as a kid after seeing this.
Years later, I went to boarding school in Anadarko, OK and the one time we had a scary tornado warning at 2am and the air was tense and we had to go to our basement to hide and take cover (just in case)...I still find crazy weather fascinating but I would freak out being a storm chaser. I am 33 now and this remains one of my favorite movies. The drive-in scene is what got me in to The Shining!!
Also, "Long Way Down" by Goo Goo Dolls is a banger!
I grew up watching this move as well as blues brothers and smokey and the bandit. True classic!
This was based on the real teams that helped make warnings are what they are today. Their project was called Toto, now Toto didn’t take off- It was sideswiped. It still provided key information in storm pattern placement. There were many more teams, still some today who eventually got probes into the cyclone of the tornado. While people still die every year, they all have saved a COUNTLESS number of lives by adding time to the warning systems. I watch this movie with so much respect for the power of the storm and the scientists that put themselves on the line day after day.
This movie was a cultural phenomenon when it came out. The late Bill Paxton ( watch Aliens and Predaror 2, he's awesome in both) was great as well as the cast who was a hodgepodge of experienced actors and up and comers. Enjoy this classic.
I have been a fan of Bill Paxton ever since I seen him in Aliens, and have followed his career since, and he's the main reason I watched this movie. Sad he passed away. :(
He was also good in Apollo 13. Another great movie to watch with a stellar cast.
@@cmfdrama2 You're dead on, Apollo 13 truly had a first rate cast. While I love Bill, I thought Gary Sinise stole the show in that one.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I used to watch it so much when I was growing up. I used to want to be a storm chaser & this movie was a big reason why. As terrifying & dangerous as tornadoes are, they are so fascinating to me, same as with volcanoes. Even tho I’ve watched this movie at least 100 times, I’m watching the beginning of y’all’s reaction & tears filled my eyes when Jo’s Daddy got sucked out of the storm cellar & into the tornado 😢. I had to blink the tears away just so I could see
Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays your favorite character Dusty here, was also in "Almost Famous", as Lester Bangs, the critic and editor of renegade rock magazine Creem, who mentors young William, mostly over the phone. One of his many memorable characters. RIP.
Love the end credit theme written and preformed by Eddie and Alex Van Halen
Years ago Universal Studios in Florida had a Twister experience. It was very realistic. The show opened with a clip from the late Bill Paxton & Helen Hunt. They explained that Wauketa (KS) was actually hit during filming. What you saw was not a set but the actual aftermath of a twister. The film almost wasn't released but the town's residents insisted it be shown.
It's actually Wakita OK in the film and if you ask google it was all a film set. No actual tornado
Is the “ride” gone now? I went many times!
@@sarahjane8146 yeah sadly it closed. Always enjoyed it.
Those types of tornadoes are the scariest. Ones that hit you, and then way later, it ravages another town, not losing strength.
It was chilling to see Jo have a hallucination of her family, and what could've been.
Seeing Wakita in the state it was in, and Aunt Meg's house, still gets me to this day, even after watching the movie a few dozen times. It's too sad seeing the area how it is, and the house where everyone ate and stayed at literally the day before, just wrecked. The TV she was just watching hours before, everything calm. 😭😭
My parents often bought clearance VHS cassette at the local Blockbuster back then, and this was one of them. My sister and I used to love watching them when tbe family would get together at my parents' place on Sundays. This movie is pure nostalgia for us. As scary and thrilling (and, often, funny) as ever.
Van Halen did the feature song for the soundtrack, "Humans Being". Great Sammy vocals and Eddie absolutely shredding!!
I've been obsessed with this movie since I was a kid. It's what drived my love for weather and watching the skies. To this day, it's still a favorite, though lost its number 1 spot years ago. Edit to add that I love the soundtrack for this film.
I remember watching this movie at the drive-in near my house during a massive thunderstorm. No tornados, but it definitely made it that much scarier, lol. Great reaction!! 🙂
When this came out we watched it at one of the last existing drive in theatres in our city. Great omage in the beginning for the character of "Toto" the dog from the "Wizard of OZ". Never did we believe that another Tornado would be a staring character in a movie again. Joe seeking revenge against it, and even the human like sound effects from the Tornado which mimicked growling. Imagine the scene at the drive-in, and there we were in our cars watching that scene. Lots of popcorn flew that night. Great effects for that time, and the cinematography was awesome. What an original concept. Canadian Grandma Lori.C.
Some friends and I chased the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa, AL back in 2011. We watched it approach and were right in it's path. We got out of it's way in time to see it cross the highway where we had been parked.
Being that close to one is definitely a bizarre experience. As it approaches, you get the smell of dirt in the air. It does indeed, sound like a diesel locomotive approaching. As it got closer, the color of lightning turned from blue to pink. It's an experience I will never forget as long as I live.
This is one of my favorite fun movies. The cast is full of great actors, it's action, romance, natural disaster.
I LOVE how much y'all get into movies!
I have 3 Tornado stories;
1. I'm from Tennessee. For almost the whole 20th century, from 1900-1993, there were only two tornadoes to touch down in Tennessee. In 1993, over 50 touched down in 1 day!
2. When I was in college, I was friends with the son (Jeremy) of our local primary Meteorologist - the meteorologist all the channels got their reports from. One day, we were hanging out, playing cards in the main dining hall and Jeremy comes in, looking over his shoulder at the sky, saying it looked like tornado weather. A few minutes later, he gets a "911 Page" (yes, I'm old) from his dad. We run to the phone both and he calls home - his Mom tells him that his Dad was predicting a tornado to touch down on campus.
The friend-group go down into the basement and keep playing cards on the floor. We didn't even bother to tell anyone. About 15 minutes later, the lights go out, the alarms go off, the emergency lights come on, and everyone starts heading down into the shelter...to find us already down there, grinning.
The tornado touched down one block from campus. His Dad was so good that he called a tornado touch-down spot within a block!
3. The day I proposed, my fiancé and I went over to my parents to tell them the news. As we were about to get off the interstate, we could see clouds swirling and dipping. There was a high rise office building a few blocks away. I figured that might be a good place to be. We were about 32 blocks away when we heard it drop! It smashed into the Tennessee Titan's football stadium. As I pulled into the high-rise parking space, the tornado crossed over our car - shoving us forward. We were literally driving Inside The Funnel Cloud! We could see parts of roofs and small trees spinning around us. That one was on the cusp between F3 and 4.
I always thought it was cool (ya know, after we survived it), but my wife disagrees! She does not think it was cool in the least little bit.
Helen Hunt (who plays Jo) was in a great romantic comedy movie, which also stars Jack Nicholson, titled, "As Good As It Gets". Dude, I am NOT typically a "Rom Com" kind of movie watcher, but that was a REALLY good movie! I know that both you guys will enjoy watching it. It also stars Cuba Gooding Jr. (Boyz N the Hood), and Skeet Ulrich (Scream).
Such an amazing movie...that I can watch over and over again and again... So sad that Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman have both passed away ...may they R.I.P 😢🙏🙏
This was the most incredible movie to watch at the cinema on the big screen with surround sound. Probably in my top 20 favourite movies. There had never been anything like it before it originally came out.
I got to meet Bill Paxton when I was working at the theater at Penn Square Mall when this came out. We had the movie premier there. He was such an AWESOME guy! He treated all of us workers like a normal person and talked to us. Soon hands a and visited before the movie started. So sad he's gone. You HAVE to check him out in Wierd Science.
"THAT'S NO MOON! IT'S A SPACE STATION! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I love that movie reference within a movie. 😆
Dusty is my favorite too.
Star Wars.
@@FlyingV3rd ik
I'm jumping for joy that y'all reacted to one of my all-time favorite movies ever. If you dip into the disaster movie genre I'd like to see y'all's faces watching: Dante's Peak, Volcano, Armageddon, 2012, The Day after Tomorrow... Any of those will rule. 💪
The night of the twisters is another good tornado movie.
Guys… you keep bringing movies that are so special to me and family favourites. We eat what we call “twister meal” and that’s a copy of the meal they have in the film. Steak, mash and fried egg with gravy lol my brother and I used to pretend we were chasing tornados too.
❤️❤️❤️
I can’t explain how much we love this film and quote it consistently 😅 same for Footloose!
The food scene is one of my wife's favorite scenes from any movie in history. Boy does she love that scene. 😄
@@Johnny_Socko “Did you see my cows out front” 🤣
we also love shouting “Food. Foood. Fooood”
I freaking love you guys! I love watching these movies with you. ♥️ Twister is my personal favorite movie of all time! The nostalgia… the suspense 🥰 I love it all. I hope you enjoy my favorite movie of all time. And thank you for doing this.
OMG I love this movie! I've lost track of how many times I've watched this movie. It is so hard watching you guys watch this in clips. I'm going to have to watch this whole movie after watching it with you guys.
The actors playing Bill and Dusty have passed away. Such a loss.
Adore seeing my favourite movies through “new eyes”. You two are perfect together and enjoy your awesome, natural vibe! Thank you!
The movie the aunt is watching when the tornado hits her town is A Star is Born, released in 1954. And the female lead in that movie is played by Judy Garland, the same actress who played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz in 1939, when she was seventeen.
This movie is a classic and one of the few movies with the great Bill Paxton in a non-supporting role. I can still watch and enjoy it after seeing it 100 times over the years. I'm glad you got a chance to watch it.
I've heard that tornados sound like freight trains and squealing pigs. That just creeps me out to no end.
Great reaction, guys! It's especially epic that you guys are in the area and have personal insight into it. Stay safe!
I've worn this movie out so many times, but I still love it. Easily one of my top 10 favorite movies ever. This movie never gets old every time I watch it. Scared me to death when I was a teenager; been petrified of tornadoes ever since because of it..
