RIP to Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Two great talents.
Wait a minute!!! Bill Paxton died??? I don't recall that. 🤔 WHEN???
@@jasminegilchrist959 2017😥
2017!!!??? SMH. I really don't recall but I was trying to get life together. I apologize Bill 😔 😪. RIH.
Word. 😢
Omgoodness I didn't know.
what i really loved about twister in terms of the love interests was that they didnt make the 'new girl' out to be some villain. she was actually just really nice and understanding
Exactly...she was mature enough to see their connection and how she was just not gonna be right for him. She was class about it.
Least dramatic breakup ever.
“I’m the third wheel in a natural disaster movie, if I stick around I’m totally going to die so I’m leaving you.”
Then the character survives.
Smartest character ever.
Either you are a guy and you like to find new girls or you are a chick who has been the new girl taking the guy from another lol
Yeah, that was a nice refreshing change for movies. I like how the director only used the other woman in this film to juxtapose the two women in his life. To show the male protagonist this is who you “want” to be, but this is who you are.
This film holds a special place in my heart. It was the last movie I ever watched with my dad. We went to the theater to see it and had a great time. He was amazed at the special effects. He didn’t stop the grind very often to see new films so it was a rare treat to catch a new movie with him. He died about 2 weeks after we saw it. I watch this every time it’s on because it brings me back to that memory.
I'm so sorry about your dad. I think of watching movies with my dad as well.
❤🌹🙏🏾
BJ: “Get in the car.” Asia: “The car’s in the tornado!”
You two are so fun. One of my favorite channels! ❤
I’ll second that!
I literally lol'd when she said that 😭
Watching them tonight hit the reset button for me cause I watched another reaction last night ( someone different) and couldn't stand it. Person was annoying af. These 2 brought me and my mood back
They are the best to watch movies with. 😊
As a storm chaser myself, I was surprised as to the accuracy. Captured the experience of storm chasing damn near perfectly
Oh yeah do you do it for work or is it just a hobby?
They worked with real Storm Chasers when making this movie.
@UCmpBjOh6VM8-xFPB9zLnBNg I never said that. 🤷♂️
How does somebody get into something like storm chasing? I’ve literally never dealt with a tornado in my entire life
That's funny. Hardly anything in this movie is accurate. Us chasers have been making fun of this movie since it came out. I mean come on first scene is wrong. Calls for an F5 in 1969 when Fujiya scale wasn't even invented til 1972. But I guess I'm wrong after 37 yrs in the field
This movie is responsible for inspiring many storm chasers today. Many of them grew up watching this movie along with many meteorologists. This movie made an entire generation interested in weather and still inspires many young people today.
I'm one of them. I became a certified chaser for the NWS.
Twister and Day After Tomorrow, two of my favorite disaster movies. RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Gone too soon. 😔
mine also
Lois Smith, a favorite character actress of mine, who turned 90 last month, and played Aunt Meg in this film, has had such a varied and lengthy career because she is like a chameleon! She just inhabits each and every part she plays as though she was born into it, mad respect for her talent.👍
@Janet F
Absolutely! I'm still not over her episode of "The Americans".💙
She was in "East of Eden" ... James Dean's first major film. Worked for the mom in her bar, an incredible talent.
I can tell you from experience, that a tornado CAN growl at you. Several years ago a very small, something like an F-0 tornado hit my town. I was at my office on the 2nd floor of the building. A coworker and I were standing and looking outside watching the pounding rain. We had no idea a tornado was forming until it started to rain sideways and we literally heard the storm growl at us. It sounded just like a pissed off animal. The tornado peeled the roof off the building across the street and that roof debris ended up hitting the building I was in. It did a lot of damage to town and you could easily follow it's path just from the destruction it left. It was one of the scariest things I have ever lived through, and this was barely considered a tornado. I cannot image living through a F-5.
Yes!!! I've been in a couple. An F-2 and an F-3. They do definitely have a growlish noise.
That's terrifying
Ohh I've heard that pissed off animal sounding growl many times from many different tornadoes. The bigger the tornado... the louder it is.
This is one of those movies that I personally found to be greatly underrated...those that have seen it know it's amazing and always recommend it to others but it never really seemed to have the proper provenance it deserves
it was never underrated. We all saw it in theaters. And that flying cow was a joke for years.
The special effects is the praise the story is great but not to critics
I really liked this movie as a kid and its still fun, but it is very unrealistic. - particularly in trying tote yourself to a pipe as an F5 rips aways everything else in its path. . It got the acclaim it deserved and nothing more. I think it is rated where it should be.
Idk about underrated.. the movie was great and there was a good ride at MGM Studios for many years 😊
@@Liz33991 I've found these comments on every movie review and come to realize people are desperate for like. They never respond back either. Probably Bots.
"I gotta go Julia - we got cows!" When I watched this in the theatre in college - I was grabbing onto the armrests as hard as I could because I could literally feel myself being lifted out of my seat. Very surreal. You guys now HAVE to do The Day After Tomorrow and Armageddon. To AMAZING end of the world movies.
And go back to the 70s and the disaster movies from then. Airport, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake...
"nother cow."
@@wren7195 Actually I think it's the same one.
Haha! 😂 Could only imagine
@@StormChaserMaci. It was freaky weird.
My mom was a storm chaser! She has a love hate relationship with this movie- she enjoys it, but loves to point out all the inaccuracies 😂 Her fascination with tornadoes began in college in 1974 when an F5 hit their town (Xenia, OH)
Poor Xenia, it’s been hit so many times! Ohio’s own tornado alley
Hahaha😂! That sounds like me! I'm a certified chaser for NWS.
Oh, wow.. glad you're Mom was okay! Xenia was basically wiped off the map.. 🥺
Jo was played by Helen Hunt. She's been acting since she was a child, and was one of the main characters in the 90's sitcom, Mad About You, alongside Paul Riser (he was the corporate guy everyone hated in Aliens).
I grew up not far from where this movie took place. I also chased tornadoes for over a decade, and have seen 38 of them in person, including 3 F4s. This movie gets a lot of things wrong technically, and yet I can't help but love it. It gets the "spirit" of the thing right in a way. Enjoyed watching y'all react to it!
This movie inspired an entire generation of storm chasers. Living here in Oklahoma, you'll see them around during the spring, when supercells really get to firing up. The largest tornado EVER recorded was just west of OKC, in El Reno. It was an EF-5 and measured 2.5 miles across. I've done a bit of storm chasing myself, and your adrenaline really gets pumping as you're going towards it and everyone else is trying to get out of the way. There's a museum dedicated to this movie in the town of Wakita, OK. It's off the beaten path, but it's worth the trip. There's talk of a sequel to Twister in the works. One of the things they say about living in Tornado Alley is when the sky looks the color of sea foam green, keep your eyes up and ears open.
The El Reno tornado is the one that killed the TWISTEX crew… the leader of which was one of the chasers who inspired this movie, Tim Samaras.
@@risksrewardsrelics51 And now people think the deaths of the two storm chasers in the movie is a salute to him and his team.
What you just said about this movie is DEAD ACCURATE. This movie is part of the reason I became a certified chaser for the NWS. Not only that, but I was witness to the El Riño tornado. That EF5 will haunt me forever.
technically El Reno tornado is classified only as EF3, due to it passing over mostly rural area and therefore the damage did not added up to EF% category, but yeah, it was pretty much huge enough to be in highest category. I agree that this movie inspired entire storm chasers generation - one of most well known chasers among them is Reed Timmer.
@@AJ1987LV El Riño was an EF5 & everyone knows it. This tornado may have gotten rank from EF damage scale but winds exceeded 300mph.
Last time I tried to get my sights on a tornado, I stepped out side the house, one foot in, another out (In case I needed to run). Then a huge gust went through the house from the back to the front of the house....and slammed the door on my fingers, blew them open at the nail bed and then locked. The finger grooves are still in the door and frame of my mom's house. That's when I ended my Tornado chasing career.
I saw this movie in the theater in 1996. So, fun. I love seeing how excited Asia got watching this and how invested BJ was!
I was like 13 years old and the whole theater was packed..I had nightmares after watching this
I've only been in one tornado when I was about 8. We were visiting relatives in Oklahoma and my dad woke me up we had to run to the storm celler. I will never forget how loud it was and everything was shaking inside the caller. We had one lantern. I'm almost 59 years old and remember it like it was yesterday. Great reaction as always you two. Blessings and Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎅🙏👏👏
I used to work at the air force base in Altus and we had one come through, we were safe in the meat freezer though. It wasn't a major one but yeah, scary stuff. No power for two weeks and we lost all the food in our fridge.
When I was 7 or 8 we had to spend three straight days in the basement because of tornadoes around town they were all small but did do some damage. I went upstairs on the second or third day and looked out the back door and saw three tornadoes in a line going across the cornfields just west of town scared the crap out of me. think that was back in 1965 in north-central Colorado about thirty miles east of the mountains.
Oh man. Poor BJ. Also let's hear it for the folks who survived EF-5 tornadoes...and survived tornadoes at any rate. Joplin was something. I remember when the warning went from minutes to longer. It was crazy. So hard. Also running in high winds is like running in water. It actually feels like that.
Yeah I was in the middle of that. A real mess. Totally destroyed my city. But damn the adrenaline
You went through Joplin EF5?? 👀
I grew up in Ohio & thanks to all the storm chasers out there warning times increased dramatically over the course of my life. Although it may not be 100% realistic this movie does show how important these groups are in saving lives.
Another great movie reaction & y'all are about the cutest couple on youtube.
They are !...
Love watching them..👍💚...
🌿🌿🌿
Your welcome 😊😉.
I loved this movie when I was a kid. Happy y’all decided to react to it 💜 RIP to Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Great actors gone too soon.
The Aunt was played by Lois Smith, when she was a young actress she performed in the first major film that James Dean was in ... "East of Eden"
She was Anne, who worked in the mom's bar, a small but very memorable part.
I love that because Asia has seen the movie BJ keeps asking her what’s going on lol and she’s like boy just watch the movie 😂😂 y’all are the cutest fr 🥰😂
This is thee best and most underrated disaster movie. Great reaction!
Stakes, mash potatoes and eggs, one of the best eating scenes ever. Classic and super fun movie. Great casting!
FOOOOOODDD!!
Don't forget the gravy. Hahaha. Love it!!
Steaks…not stakes.
Asia you would’ve loved the Twister Experience they has at Universal Studios. It was a walk-in ride onto the set of the drive-in theatre. They then kicked up the wind, items falling, and true tornado effects. It not only gave me goosebumps, but a realization of the power of mother nature.
Just wait until you see a real tornado.
I love this movie so much. Her mom shouting "Jo stay with me!" after losing her dad breaks my heart every time. The 90s really had a lot of great action adventure movies.
I was in a pretty famous tornado when I was 4 in Edmonton Alberta, Canada in summer of 1987. They called it Black Friday. We rarely get tornados but that one was something I’ll never forget.
I was walking home with my mom from the local mall, she was in an electric wheelchair at the time which made the entire situation that more precarious. The day was warm and sunny, and probably within 5 minutes the hail balls started and the sky turned green…all we could do was hurry and hide under the porch way of a church. Luckily the worst avoided us, all we got were some bruises from the hail, and yeah, I was scared so I remember telling my mom that I was going to pee my pants- and I did 🤣 which was super unfortunate because she was holding me at the time. Looking back we were both lucky to survive that day- not everyone did. I can’t help but think of it every time I see this movie.
Some of this was filmed in my hometown. We love this movie in Oklahoma. My grandpa was an extra. There is a house across the road at 16:05 that was damaged by a tornado a few years back. It went right through where the one in the movie was. A couple years after this movie came out Moore Oklahoma was hit with an F5 tornado still holds the record for the highest wind speeds ever recorded. Over 300mph. 😳
I live in OKC but worked in Norman at the time. Through both! Moore was devastated. They filmed some parts in Norman too. But this movie is grossly exaggerated in regards so many F5 in like 2 -3 days
So is this realistic bc I can’t believe that they could get that close and able to outrun a tornado and then be in the eye of it and not get sucked up?
I hate it when a movie isn’t realistic
@@savsmiles3042 not at all realistic
@@thejoeschmoshow
I didn’t think so
Same here. The part where the cow flys by was filmed on washunga bay. Between Ponca City and Kaw city.
One of my favorite movies. Living in Florida, we get hit by hurricanes and, although they don't really "growl" like the sound effects in this movie, they make some pretty scary noises when it's raging right over top of your house. I'm always in awe of the power of those storms.
@DankBeans Yes they do, or they sound like a freight train going right past you.
Such a classic movie. Amazing action, effects that still hold up, some truly hilarious banter, and a brilliant ensemble cast.👍🤟
Also, I had massive crushes on both Jami Gertz and Helen Hunt through the 80's and 90's. 😍
The song at the 25 min. mark. Is Humans Being by Van Halen. When Sammy Hagar was the frontman. Awsome song.
Such a great movie with a fantastic cast! RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
I was born and raised in Tulsa, OK. This movie came out when I was in the 1st or 2nd grade. I remember it was a HUGE deal in the local news when this movie crew came to town to film a bunch of scenes. Most tornado movies get things so wrong its cringy to watch. This movie still gets a lot wrong, but the attention to detail they did give it is amazing. For example, Phillip Seymore Hoffman's character wears a Oklahoma University hat the entire movie. OU is widely considered to have the best meteorology program in the country partly due to its proximity to the National Weather Service headquarters which sends out weather alerts across the entire country. Little details like that puts this movie easily in my top 10 of all time.
Me and my mom was in a tornado on Palm Sunday back in 1994. Everything from that day is etched in my memory. The stillness of everything a few seconds before it hit. The quietness except for the constant rumble. The air was hot and green. The darkness. I still have PTSD to this day. It’s nowhere as bad as it used to be but I still get nervous when it storms.
I've had a fear of storms since April 27, 2011 happened. Now I pay attention to the weather and eager to learn more about it every day
We saw this at the theater when came out back then, it was a lot of fun watching this on the big screen. It loses a little of its affect on the small screen, but still a lot of fun and great for pure entertainment. Hard to believe two of the stars in this movie passed away, but they both left an indelible mark in their respective professions. This is just one of those fun movies, glad to see you two enjoyed it.
So glad you guys watched this! Great movie! Even if you have not experienced the threat of a tornado it will make you feel as though you did. Always enjoy your reactions!
It was BJ that needed a blanket this time. 😂🤣 Great reaction guys! 💯
Oklahoma, May 31st 2013 the El Reno tornado, killed one of my favorite Storm chasers. Timothy Michael Samaras, he was an American engineer and storm chaser who also known to invent his instruments to collect data. Another Storm chaser I like to watch is Pecos Hank. He has some beautiful tornado photos and films and also lightning phenomena. You should react to him, he's amazing.
Gotta love Pecos Hank!
Joe was obsessed with tornadoes because of her childhood trauma. She had turned it into a positive by trying to find the answer to an early warning system. (The “theme song” you mentioned during the first tornado was a Deep Purple song. Also, one of the storm chasers played the journalist in the movie, “Saving Private Ryan”.)
That would be Jeremy Davies who played Corporal Upham and one of the stormchasers in this film.
BJ's face when looking up inside the funnel of the storm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 priceless! Someone put that on a blanket!
i was so afraid of this movie for like a year, every time i heard wind i would lose it thinking it was coming even though there's no tornados in my country 😅 also, the music was deep purple i grew up listening to them because of my dad
My sister came to visit me when I briefly lived in Alabama. We went to the movie theater twice to see Twister. 😄 We were so bored. No cell phones, no UA-cam. We loved the movie though. It was a such a good memory. Thanks for watching this one. 😍👏👏
One of my favorites! Loved BJ's facial expressions throughout. Thanks for the memories.
I have been in 2 tornados. The first I was at work and asked my boss "Wasnt there a building over there' He was like we got to go We go into our trucks and he pointed up and the funnel was over top of us. It had touched down half mile a way. Picked up over us and set down a mile away. It was crazy. Then once we were beside it about 4 miles away. That sound you will never forget.
When Asia saw the little bulbs go up in the air she was so happy LOL Great video lol
Eddie Van Halen's song Respect the Wind at the end of the movie is just fantastic!!
Helen Hunt played Jo. At the end, she finally got to look up inside of an F-5. The special effects in this movie were amazing. I'm from Michigan & have had to run & hide in the basement many times. I'm in Texas now, too! We don't have basements but have been lucky so far. The closest tornado touch down here missed us by a half mile. It's still too close. I really enjoyed your reaction! I've seen it several times & I still get goosebumps watching it too, Asia!
"Get in the car!"
"The car's in the tornado!"
I love you guys so much!! 😁
Hey guys! You should check out “A PERFECT STORM” (2000)… Based On a True and Tragic Story 🎣😭
Yes!
Yes, an excellent movie.❤️
When I lived in Kansas we had a Tornado warning while I was driving home. The big blue sky turned a murky green really fast. I got home and we all hunkered down in the basement. I've never been through a Tornado watch when one is actively on the ground (if I've got those two mixed up - warning/watch - I apologized.) The green sky was enough for me. I have other KS/MO tornado experiences, but this was as close as I ever want to get! Great reaction as always!
I'm in Utah, so we're not known for tornadoes. Although technically we do average 3 a year. My oldest daughter has always been fascinated with weather. In kindergarten she got a book set about weather. One was all about tornadoes. We had a storm one day. Hubby and her were out in the garage watching the rain fall. Suddenly she starts getting upset. Daddy, Daddy! We need to go inside! The Sky is turning Green! We're gonna get a tornado! We didn't get one that day. We had always thought and heard that where we were, with being surrounded by mountains. That we wouldn't get tornadoes. The month before she was born we found out that was wrong. We had one touch down in the middle of the valley, then skim its way up the base of the mountain right by the hospital she was born in the next month. 22 years later we still can't even think about visiting my sister in Texas.
You always know it's a good movie when Asia has to peep through her fingers. Great reaction by both of you. 🙂
Asia has the greatest smile, it lights up.
Y'all made this super fun to watch a movie I've enjoyed for years. You brought it to the next level! 😀 "Look! ASIA! Look, look, look!!" 😄
When I was little I remember my dad, who was the County Sheriff, going out on nights when we were having tornado weather. The volunteer fireman would also go out and they would set up around town and watch for tornadoes to keep our little town safe. One of my biggest fears has always been a tornado coming at night when it can't be seen.
Freaking Hilarious !!!! Bj kept yelling " ASIA" "OMG ASIA" "Can I hold on to you" lol
Best wishes you 2 !!! Love watching you guys
Years back, I wrote an article about the F4/F5 tornado that leveled a town in Wisconsin. I remember interviewing a meteorolgist about what words categorized the Fujita Scale, which went from F1 to F5. I asked if there was a word for an F6. His answer: "Yes. The word is 'unimaginable.'"
This is a movie you can rewatch a lot...great movie. RIP to the guys we lost from this movie...Paxton and Hoffman.
This has always been an outstanding movie...R.I.P Philip Seymour Hoffman and one of my favorite actors Bill Paxton.
I remembered living in Oklahoma when this came out as a kid. Then a few years later, Specifically May 3rd, 1999 I distinctively remembered being in the path of the F5 tornado that hit Oklahoma City and neighboring areas. I thought we were all going to die. We didn't have a basement, so I remember my dad pulling all of our mattresses and covering us in our bathroom's bathtub in the middle of our house. our roof lifted off and I remember Hail and debris hitting everywhere around us. Its a miracle it went back to the sky before it was completely on top of us. The destruction was insane. I remember seeing dead/ injured people out on the ground. pretty traumatizing as a kid
Love action movies and Twister is right up there 🌪 Great special effects again! I used to think we never got tornadoes in Australia but we certainly do. Most of them happen in remote areas so go unreported. Sad that Bill Paxton is no longer with us and Philip Seymour Hoffman too, he was the bad guy in Mission Impossible III. Love your reactions, you two are so entertaining 😆
We had a tornado in GA come around the house across the street and I saw it from my front window & I went out on the front porch. I was mesmerized! I couldn't move; I was just standing there looking at it. My son came to the door & said: "I think you need to come in now, Mom!" We all ended up in the bathtubs with mattresses over our heads. We ended up with both houses on each side of us lost the roofs of their houses & lightning hit on the side of our house & burnt down a tree, but we came out unscathed. They truly are amazing to see!
RIP Bill Paxton (Billy) he is also well known for his role in Titanic. As well as, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is was known for being in The Hunger Games movies.
This my favorite movie EVER!! I can watch this movie everyday 😭 The acting was phenomenal! I felt all the emotions from each character! Great reaction 🎉
This is one of those movies that I've seen so many times, I can quote it word for word from memory. Such a great movie.
33:57 "They got cell phones don't they?" Cracked me up. Not in 1996. That's kind of the point of the movie is advancing the technology in this field. Another good reaction. Keep them coming.
The building with the knives was the slaughterhouse. As a farmer, some are butchers too and cut up their meats to sell it. The other building where they were tied up was the pump house, where water is sucked up from the ground (a well-type that distributes water to the main house and other places). Most rural places have septic tanks as opposed to city sewage and pipes. Loved your reaction and love this movie as it never gets old to watch.
Cary Elwes played Jonas Miller. The snobby competition. He's just fun no matter the role. Villain, hero, supporting, and so on. From Princess Bride to Saw.
First saw Helen Hunt (Jo) in the marriage sitcom Mad About You. Paxton needs no introduction. His was a big loss. Same for Hoffman.
Universal Studios in Florida used to have the Twister Ride that made you feel like you were in the tornado in the movie, it was pretty cool.
That was an amazing ride!
This is the perfect Americana road trip movie. The types of drive-ins, Route 66 era motels, service stations, and towns like Wakita they depict in this movie are both iconic and variations on some of the best areas I’ve passed through on family road trips.
There’s something so enjoyable about stopping overnight in a small rural town off the highway in stormy summer weather, and getting a burger before hitting a historic movie theater.
I loved this movie as a little Okie kid. It was so cool to see a movie set in our little state.
You guys mentioned the growl of the tornado at the beginning. I remember the behind the scenes feature saying they added growls to the wind sounds to give the tornados an animalistic quality and make them scarier.
I was 11 years old watching this in the movie theater with my family. That intense, edge of my seat experience. Tornadoes and earthquakes are two natural disasters that scare the ish outta me.
Theres nothing better than watching a movie you love with you two! Great time Asia & BJ, what a ride!
This was the first movie I ever saw in theaters without my parents. I was 11.
I’m so glad I found your channel!
GOTTA GO JULIA. WE GOT COWS.
The best line of the movie 🤣
So~! After having briefly glancing at the comments section, it appears no one's mentioned the fact that a sequel to this movie is in development, with the MC being the daughter of Helen's and Bill's characters. If nothing goes wrong, the sequel should be out by sometime on or abouts June of 2024. 😉👍
I love this movie and interesting fact, the news caster for the weather in her old house was actually Oklahoma's real forcaster at the time, Gary England. :D
Such fun watching Twister with you two!! I grew up in north-central Oklahoma about 12 miles east of the town of Fairfax, where some of the opening was filmed, and experienced my share of tornados. One time we lost most of the shingles off our house, the windows were blown in and a 1,000-gallon water tank departed for somewhere up north never to be seen again. Spent my time in a storm cellar "fraidy-hole." The opening scenes were in Fairfax and nearby Ralston; local guys worked as hands moving the cattle around and doing some light labor. They said Bill Paxton was a great guy who hung out with them when not working, as did a lot of the other guys. And Helen Hunt was stuck up and wouldn't acknowledge them but headed straight to her trailer when not in a scene. RIP to Bill and Philip. The National Weather Center Research Facility in on the University of Oklahoma south campus, so many meteorology students study there. It seems a natural magnet for storm chasers. Wakita Oklahoma is the actual small town used for filming. The sets really did make it look like a major part of the town was destroyed, although a hailstorm had already given it a lot of debris even before filming. And RIP to the actual storm chasers who have been killed doing this work.
My sister lived in Wakita for years. The parts of the movie with Meg were filmed in town. The house is still there and is a museum for the movie. I went to school at Oklahoma University where they teach meteorology. The storm chasers are really like this. They get so excited when the weather is unstable. I’ve lived in Oklahoma for over 30 years. We have some of the best weather coverage in the country. When there is weather like this, all the stations have total coverage (all other shows are interrupted). There are even tornado drinking games and tornado bingo. Most Oklahomans can identify wall clouds, hook echos, circulation, and other severe weather terms. This movie was a big deal when it was being filmed because several of our local meteorologists were in the film.
I'm one of those certified chasers & yes we absolutely get excited over tornadoes. 😂 I admit it. I personally go nuts mentally when there's no storm around. I have to distract myself with storms on UA-cam until I can actually chase a real one. Especially in the fall or winter.
You two are SO Fun to watch... Keep it up!!!
Bill Paxton was one versatile actor
I remember back in the day watching this. My dad had just got a surround sound system and we watched this on VHS from Blockbuster. We watched it late at night and after the movie it was all dark outside and I just felt kind of weird like something like this was about to happen... But we don't get tornados in our area, but with the surround sound and how it got spooky quiet after the movie it just left me, a child, with a weird feeling.. But also it is like very nostalgic of a memory for me! Love this movie!
The meteorologist at the beginning is the legend Gary England, and I'm pretty sure listening to the dude's instructions back when Moore 2013 hit saved my life. I probably should have done a bit more research before moving down there - never again lol!
Glad you enjoyed!
So... I hear you experienced the last EF5?? That particular tornado haunts me all because I believe it had some sort of personality. Seen many tornadoes but that one... something was different about it.
I see a new video, I click on it, then click "like." You guys are probably one of my favorite reactors on UA-cam. This movie, too, is a particular favorite of mine. After seeing it in theaters, I wanted to become a storm chaser. :)
I grew up in Omaha Nebraska and in early May in 1975 was the great tornado outbreak - 36 tornadoes over 6 states in 2-1/2 days, multiple tornadoes in a chain of storms is very possible, and scary.
Joe is played by Helen Hunt who is probably most famous for the 90’s sitcom Mad about you, she’s done a bunch of movies too and is directing movies now.
I can also say from first hand experience, that the f5 is not the scariest, although it is the most deadly. The "jumper" and rope tornadoes are the scariest for me. They're quiet, and extremely unpredictable. A split second is all it takes to be in the path.
I just love watching movies with you two. Twister is one of my comfort movies that I watch on a Saturday afternoon....Thanks for the great reaction as always!
I was a big fan of Bill Paxton. This is my very favorite tornado movie. It was made the year I was born. FYI: The woman who plays Joe is Helen Hunt.
I was in high school when this movie came out; it came out in May. In July of that year, Oakfield, Wisconsin was hit with an F5 tornado - some of the strongest winds to ever hit the state. That tornado passed far too close to where I worked at the time, in Fond du Lac, and I'll never get that sound out of my head, nor my boss yelling at me to get out of the van I was loading and help calm the hotel guests taking shelter in the hallways. Freaky night.
I love this movie, but I've never been able to watch it since then without a lot of memories attached.
Growing up,. Always wanted to be a tornado chaser. The problem was, we didn't have tornadoes in my country at all😂
Btw, i love your movie reactions, feels like watching it with friends 😊🥰
"Starship Troopers" ....i think y'all would have a great reaction to this movie and you could count on a cult following of peeps who would watch.
I can’t believe after all these years, we are finally getting a sequel!!!!!!! It was recently announced and should come out next year!
I can confirm that for you. Yes they are making another Twister movie. 2024 is the year!
I live in a small town in Kansas, U.S.A.. Three years ago, a tornado went through our town. It did not touch down, but it did rip up a sixty foot tall tree and dropped in on my house. It was loud.
Bill Paxton’s character is based on Tim Samaras. He’s an Engineer who made the first Dorothy to put in front of a tornado. He was killed by a tornado in El Reno, OK in 2013
Wow Carmen! We didn’t know, RIP to Tim Samaras! Thanks
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. There’s a sequel in the works that is to follow Bill and Jo’s daughter. 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. 🌪
She also starred in the 90s sitcom Mad About You
She was also in As Good as it Gets with Jack Nicholson.
Another wild ride with Asia and BJ. Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, two of the greatest to ever appear on stage and screen ,(R.I.P.), along with Helen Hunt. Yah!
last comment i swear. One time we had a tornado come through directly at us, my wife and I lived in a third story apartment. We saw the weather alerts and heard the sirens and felt the building shake and you can feel the pressure change....sometimes your ears pop as if in a plane. So we grabbed our new born son and ran into the closet. The power went out and we ducked down and then it came on again for a split second just for me to glance up and see all our guns, arrows, camping knives sitting loose on the shelves inside the closet. I said...wait...wrong closet. We had to run to the other one with all the clothes and soft stuff. Our cars got hurt a bit a few trees fell but we were ok. Tornados are no joke, but in my life time ive survived quite a few. Tragic when you find out that someone lost their life in one. Like the one on Christmas Day about 6 years ago. I had left my moms house after dinner and the weather was getting iffy. We got home and turned on the TV and saw the weather report on every channel. One radar image was zoomed down close to see the street names and i saw my mom's street name on there. I called her and she said they were under the stairs and i called my sister, who lived about 10 minutes away and she answered. I said " hey you go check on mom when this all passes over okay?" She said " im under the stairs with her now!" "i thought you left?" Wheres Nathan? " "here with us!" I jsut about lost my whole family in that storm. But instead it took 6 people's lives who were driving on a major highway interchange. I 30 and 190 (GB) They were blown of the tall bridge and slammed into the highway below. For years you could see the scar it left in that area. Now guess what it is. An RV and trailer sales lot. I guess they figured it has been pre-disastered .....
Loved the 90s disaster movies. Twister, Armageddon, Deep Impact, Volcano, Dante's Peak, and Daylight to name the top tier. RIP Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Also, Eddie Van Halen. VH has the theme rock song "Humans Being".
I remember when this movie came out and I went to see it and thought how real it seemed ,,, I actually watched twice. So I was affected just like Asia was. When telling my friends about they just said it was CGI , I dont care didnt make me enjoy it any less. Its the kind of movie that will hold up today for the thrill and adventure part of it and I am mid-westerner. It was back in the day when going to the theater was fun but not now as they have assigned seats , reserved and I havnt went back yet to a theater that does that.
I watched this flick at an old-school drive-in 😅 coincidentally there was a crazy lightening storm while we watched. It was actually it amazing from what I remember. The visible lightning strikes were happening at the same time as the intense tornadoes 🌪️ it was all too perfect lol
RIP bill and dust-man. The extreme‼️🚯
Oh wow... that would have definitely made things more intimidating.
21:45 Aww, poor cow.
After this movie, did anyone else notice all the funky windmills that took over everybody's front yard? Or was that just me?
Yes !
