Plot twist: Jo's dad at the beginning of the movie went over the rainbow and met Dorothy. They fell in love and had one child together and named him Bill. Bill had most of his childhood inside of a tornado and was raised by the F5.
If a Tornado had eyes... IT WOULD HAVE SOLID RED MAD EYES LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOU IN IT'S PATH. MAKING THEM MORE TERRIFYING THAN THEY APPEAR.
As a resident of the south, I am looking forward to every single day of Spring...we have more guns this year so we'll teach them twisters a thing or two.
MasterTrlololol I kno bro! stupid teachers man! makin me write n stuff. all im thinking about it sweet ol sally obrian! im going to ask her to the big home coming dance! oh gee golly! i got butterflies in my tummy, ill tell ya! Then ill cream myself when we hold hand! OH BOY!
The criticism this movie gets is totally undeserved. At the end of the day, it's extremely entertaining and never gets old, at least to me. The special effects are phenomenal and it does a great job of capturing the terror and unpredictability of storms. You'll never find a better storm or tornado movie than Twister.
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!" Actually, recently in 2011 there was an outbreak of 340+ tornadoes across 21 states. I don't think that many were violent tornadoes (EF4-EF5). But back in the 1970's there was an outbreak of 140+ tornadoes across 13 states, including Canada and 30 of those were violent F4-F5 tornadoes. So yeah, it can go nuts from time to time. The amount of tornadoes that were shown in this movie was actually quite low. What was it, 3-4 maybe 5? Decent supercells will spit out that or even more.
+MikePlaysIt oklahma can have thse days were 50 tornadoes hit. Doug should know better he's from the midwest. but he doesn't understand that Oklahoma gets THE MOST tornadoes in the world.
+MikePlaysIt thank you. I know he's just wisecracking, but with many of these "bad" movies I like, he seems to pick and choose what he'd like to see in a movie (there's always too much character development or not enough it seems), and comes off as a pretentious cheap-shot-loosing prick.
Y'know I think Doug and a lot of other critics are WAY too harsh on this film. Yeah it's not that smart, and for a natural disaster movie the audience doesn't come away learning barely anything new about tornadoes (which is crazy considering it was written by Michael Crichton), but it's STILL one of my all-time favorite guilty pleasures. The soundtrack is kick-ass, the atmosphere is gleefully self-indulgent, and as stupid as the whole "tornadoes have minds of their own" angle is, it's just gosh darn fun. And as a big part of my childhood being one of the first PG-13 movies I watched besides Jurassic Park, it will always have a special place in my heart :) Plus the ride is pretty cool too lol
word of advice, don't try defending a movie you called a guilty pleasure when your saying many critics hated it. a guilty pleasure movie tends to end up as one of the following 1) something so opposite to your personality (at least in public) you love an example of this is a big burly biker guy loving something super girly and like barbie 2) its something very embarassing that you like it and rather others didn't know you liked it 3) you kind of like it because of reasons which tend to hurt it
Kevin S. Okay, then my understanding of the phrase "guilty pleasure" was a bit off. I'm not embarrassed that I like this movie, in fact I've defended it before on an objective basis. I believe it's unironically a good film, even with its various flaws. Thanks for correcting me (y)
But you have to take into account on when this video was made.....................not uploaded. Made. Which was.......let me take a quick look, I am currently looking it up as I am writing this comment, that is how awesome I am............March of 2009...,but still. He should've known better.
KriegerAurelius That still does not mean much. There have been plenty of cases prior to 09 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_American_tornadoes_and_tornado_outbreaks#1970.E2.80.931979
TheDreReichDude - Just like any other wrestler take steroids only care about money and careless specially Seth Rollins injuries to Finn Balor and many more....
1. Tornadoes can roar. 2. Green Skies usually indicate an extreme severe storm is forming and approaching, usually associated with tornadoes. This is also more originating from farmers that seems to hold up on its own. 3. When I was young and watched the movie, I was thinking the exact same thing in the opening in relation to the father. 4. Oh and during the waterspout scene. I do not know why many people do not see this, but there are Three tornadoes instead of two.
Another movie connection I just realized - Michael Crichton's first novel that got turned into a movie was the Andromeda Strain directed by Robert Wise. Robert Wise directed the Haunting in 1963. Jan de Bont directed Twister. His very next movie? The remake of The Haunting.
Pale Horse No. Dunne N' dusted used the correct "you're" as in the one that's the abbreviated form of "You are", as opposed to "your" which refers to something belonging to party being addressed.
"How many tornadoes can there possibly be in one day?" Well... We've had 321 in a week... So "This simply doesn't happen!" Well... Actually it does. Welcome to Oklahoma.
While this movie may be flawed in quite a few things, I think NC was being a little too harsh about the tornado plot. Tornado season in OK? Lots o' twisters. This is before the Enhanced Fujita scale, and yes, F5s are not only rare, but horrifyingly destructive (don't believe me? Wikipedia Greensburg, Kansas and get back to me later) Tornadoes are still incredibly unpredictable, despite all the things we know about them. This movie perfect? No. Decent? Sure. Also I think at the time this movie came out, hiding under an overpass when a tornado approaches was the accepted thinking (now we know holy crap that's a bad idea)
Or Google the May 1999 Oklahoma City tornado, EF5 Joplin, Mo tornado, and the Moore and El Reno OK tornado last year, both EF5s. You're right Wolfbyte, back then it was advised to hide under an overpass if you were near one. And NC was being too harsh on this movie. Because of this movie, I personally took (and still have) an interest in Meteorology with emphasis on tornadoes.
Google April 27, 2011 tornadoes and you see the exact same twister plot pretty much happening. I think we had about 20 tornadoes that day and this movie came to my mind throughout that day.
Look at April, 2011. Over 300 tornados touched down in like 20 states. The events in this movie are not only possible, but they have happened. I get the sense that Nostalgia critic doesn't live anywhere near tornado ally
***** Then its confirmed, he doesn't live anywhere near tornado alley. Tornados are not terribly common in Illinois, occurring primarily in the southern and western extremes of the state. Chicago has never experienced a significant tornado. Only once in recorded history has a tornado touched down in the city proper and only 4 other times have tornadoes touched ground within the Chicago area in general. Never have they caused notable damage.
Came back here after hearing sad news, this was the first thing that popped in my mind it seems that I connect celebrities' deaths with NC's reviews RIP Bill Paxton
Just found out that Bill Paxton had just died. I had to come back and watch this, as this was one of my favorite reviews on one of my favorite movies. RIP Bill Paxton.
I have to admit in retrospect this movie is actually pretty bad. But it was one of the first "adult" movies my Dad and I watched together and of course, as a kid, I didn´t notice and/or care about all the plot holes, the sometimes terrible dialogue and the stupid as hell climax. I enjoyed it because it looked cool to me as kid and I was watching it with my Dad and had fun. So I simply cannot "hate" this movie, nostalgic bonus and all.
You know, people from the Midwest tend to really enjoy this movie while people from other parts of the country tend to dismiss it. At least that's my personal experience with Twister.
I thought you were talking about North Carolina, I just realized you meant Nostalgia Critic. Still, my experience is based on people I've actually met.
My Dad is from Oklahoma, but he ended up moving back to Oregon with my Mom after he met her. Anyway, He said he used to always watch this movie when he was feeling homesick. Lol
Riiiight. I've been through nights where the tornado sirens went off a good 10 times here in Arkansas. A lot of his "bad" points about the science of the tornado outbreak was off. They got a lot right to me and anyone else in tornado ally. Except maybe the whole, strap down to a pipe and survive.....
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!" Quite a few, even if you're talking about just one town. Grand Island, NE was hit by 7 tornadoes in one day in 1980, and a couple of small towns in northern Alabama were hit by two F5 tornadoes during the Super Outbreak of 1974. The movie theater tornado is ridiculous because NO ONE sees it coming until the very moment it hits. Real weather nerds would have had their asses in front of a TV/computer watching that sumbitch coming on radar an hour before it hit. The review was great, though. I highly enjoyed it :-)
Poyekhali919 Oh wow. I actually live in the midwest. Springfield, IL. I didn't even know there were so many tornadoes. Also, since the film takes place in Oklahoma, which is said to be in the "Tornado Valley", there can be quite a bit of tornadoes in one day. Honestly, I think the Critic is just hamming this review up, like a lot of his reviews. I actually quite enjoy Twister.
***** No shame in that. And yeah, over in Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, all those states in the middle are in Tornado Alley. Probably caused because of warmer currents flowing in from the Gulf of Mexico colliding with the cold air currents flowing in from Canada. Right where they meet, BOOM. Tornado. You're in IL., so you should be safe from tornadoes (though I can expect you do get a good amount of snow every now and then). But tornadoes, they're unpredictable and could happen anywhere (that doesn't mean they're likely to happen), and in Tornado Alley, they could happen any time. It just depends on the air that's going around along with air pressure and other variables like that. And about the Critic . . . Well, he was hammering it, but there are always cases where he doesn't know about a subject as much as he thinks he does. I'm not saying anything bad about him, I'm just saying what I've concluded from the Compilation of his F-ups videos.
I remember it very fondly myself. Sure, the romance part is quite dumb but I love the team spirit between the twister lads, they're very cool kids, you can really feel the camaraderie. I love that scene where they all play their "we're hunting a tornado!" music together, actually, lol! It's chaotic and good natured, like their crew, I thought it was great. I also love every single dumb line they gave Dusty. The suck zone is legendary, man!
When The Nostalgia Critic said in the drive in theater scene how many tornadoes can you have in one day that simply don't happen. He's wrong that can and do happen practically every year you can have all 5 f scale tornadoes rating even I know that he must had forgotten it because you learn it in school and weather channel it's called a Tornado Outbreak that's why there's so many tornadoes it's an Tornado Outbreak.
My friend and I always used to joke that this movie was the best Dodge commercial ever. Because no matter what happened, that truck stayed intact even after driving through a house. It was a bit silly, but I still enjoyed it.
Iron pipes and leather straps hold you down huh? Funny, I could have sworn that the centrifugal force of an F-5 tornado would violently spin them with such ruthless power that the straps would tighten and squeeze their guts out of all their orifices like toothpaste. But I guess the center of a tornado is just full of whimsy! Lalala!
Absolutely loved Twister and don't know anyone who actually dislikes it. It was exciting, brilliant, epic and heartwarming. Nostalgia Critic really doesn't like disaster movies. Makes you wonder what happened to teen Doug in the late 90's.
Actually Twister's tornado outbreak is completely possible and has happened in American history many times, including the 2011 Super Outbreak which saw hundreds of tornadoes touchdown in a 72 hour period. Hundreds of people died and billion of dollars of damage was done, the effects of that outbreak still felt and seen today. Joplin for example. The damage of the F5 that struck Joplin, Missouri was compared to a small nuclear bomb and ranks as the costliest tornado of all time in world history. The city is still being repaired today.
"So Bill agrees to stick around to help Dorothy fly because lord knows he can't let Jonas get to it first." "And who's following close behind?" Cues Darth Vader theme song "JONAAAAAAASSSSSS!" Literally laughed hysterically during every part of this review that had Jonas in it XD
Not necessarily. An EF5 with winds of 300+ mph will still do severe damage. It may fair better than a normal brick or wood framed house but it won't be habitable after the fact.
In a lot of places in tornado alley, it's is extremely difficult if not impossible to build underground storm shelters or basements. Here in Arkansas the ground is extremely hard clay and someone would have to be rich to build a basement or storm shelter. I know my mom told me when she and my Dad built or house, it cost them a crazy amount of money to even have one room lowered a step. You only see basements and shelters farther up north for a reason. It's geology. Sucks.
Ok, I love this movie. Prepare to be offended in every way possible by stupid haters who are too incompetent to deal with somebody else's opinion, even if they disagree completely. I am allowed to have an opinion
The stupidest thing is, the main character is really selfish while he pretends he's not. If he only cared for science, why would he care if Jonas did it for the money?
Volcano made my brain try to leave my skull via my ears. It sucked. For a better '90s disaster movie you need Dante's Peak. Which also sucks but is a bit better.
Anastasia Alexandra That's my favorite as well :) I personally like the Natural disaster movies of the 90's; yeah some of the acting, plots and other stuff like that were little iffy, but I did like the action and thrills it produced with the thought of mother nature's PMS mood swings wreaking havoc.
Actually, this movie is pretty acurate. Tornadoes are measured with F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 , F5 being the worst, its diameter can be almost a mile long and tornadoes have several smaller tornadoes inside of them. However to your credit tornadoes go in a certain direction due to the wind in one going in one direction. Not to mention the fact that tornadoes last for about 45 minutes. And on that last part, it would have been smarter to to the side not in the path of the tornado. They also could have used chain instead of leather belts. However despite it's flaws this is a nostalgic movie for me because when I was little I liked tornadoes and I wanted to see one.
Um... regardless of what you strap yourself to an F5 would break whatever bones it could to get you out of that strap in literally one second. This movie may have the F1-5 scale down, but the rest of it is just bullshit devoid of science, where an F2 apparently can take out a house but leaves the main characters and nearby trees untouched. Plus the characters are boring and 2-dimensional, it's impossible to get remotely attached to any of them. Honestly I never really liked this movie beyond pure eye candy for its special effects. :/
Like I said, this is a nostalgic movie for me and I first watched this, I had a love of storms, and I was too young to have a grasp of logic, so I didn't care. I guess that because of that, I don't care about the B S.
MusicalPorpoise also to the previous whirlwind with storm. I'm not from US so I don't experience more than just strong winds and storms but with such storm being so near them as it was in the station...wouldn't it destroy the electrical stuff they have? I was always told to unplug computer whenever there was a huge storm.
"We don't know anything about how tornadoes work"... Sorry, but having been a Weather Forecaster for 5 years, and actually studying how weather works, The alarming lack of science in this movie makes my head hurt more than a geneticist's whilst watching Jurassic Park...
I aint gonna lie I loved this movie, Oh I agree that it has problems but I don't care its just fun. Dusty is easily my favorite character in the show. Carey Elwes REALLY CANNOT do a southern accent. But still I watch this at least once a year ussually around the first thunderstorm of the season.
in my best arnold swartzenegger voice:"maybe he will find this funny later when he realizes i made my respone sound like im from the 90's because twister is a totally gay movie from the 90's. hahaha"
What bugged me the most per say was how the father in the beginning was sucked out of the cellar by the twister (while holding the door) but in the climax, the woman and the man stayed on ground long enough to see the insides of a tornado, with nothing but a belt and a metal pipe.
im gonna have to agree with u there. its such a crappy movie! how was it so sucessfull? terrible writing! i guess back then the cgi was so good. piece of shit movie in my opinion.
Mayu Hinamori there are definitely things in this movie which were impossible in real life....BUT maybe the dad would have survived if he had been tied to a metal pipe with a belt. Cause at the end it does suck them upwards, but they stay tied to the pipe, and would have been blown away, like the dad, otherwise.
I cant remember how old I was when this movie first came out. but I always thought that the tornado was literally alive because of how it always chased the main characters and that it always appeared so often. they made the tornado look like the wind version of Jaws.
I'm not surprised. They're basically one of nature's Tesla coils. You should look at the work of Dr. Judy Wood (9/11 researcher)...because drew a lot of parallels between the behavior of tornadoes and purported anti-gravity effects by people like John Hutchison (a sort of maverick scientist, who is worth looking up in his own right). Dr wood recalls accounts of people who say they could breathe while in a tornado (so it wasn't a huge vacuum). When people die, it's usually from being crushed or hit with debris. It also explain how a car can be balanced precariously on top of a fence, or a truck can be returned to earth relatively undamaged, after being lifted miles into the air by a tornado. It explains why there can be the side of a house missing like it was sliced off with a blade, but the exposed room has undisturbed papers, etc. It can explain why a passing tornado can pick up and jostle around young adults who had locked themselves in a walk-in cooler (which would never allow huge winds without sustaining damage itself)...yet nobody felt any wind...and there was no damage to the cooler they were in. Putting aside the 9/11 parallels, it has huge implications for our entire scientific paradigm...And shitty movie aside, the way these storm systems _actually_ behave should have everyone asking fundamental questions, like how gravity relates to electro-magnetism, etc. Perhaps we should be asking whether relativity is even right or simply another convenient mathematical device that happened to predict gravitational lensing, yet is deeply flawed at a metaphysical level. Your little one line response could be quite the rabbit hole.
+anonymouseketeamster As a person who's both survived an F5 AND become a Physicist, I can safely say you're full of shit, and so is this movie. But the effects were decent.
I found it annoying that he kept harping on the fact that the tornadoes just suddenly disappear when that's actually how they behave. Tornadoes aren't like hurricanes or thunderstorms that stick around for a while and move great distances. They show up for a little bit, do a variable amount of damage, and then vanish.
Actually Critic yes. They put a roaring sound inside of the tornado and it looks like roaring of a T-Rex. It was based on Steven Spielberg & Michael Crichton idea that what if tornado chase through with human characters and have a roaring sound that it refers to Michael Crichton science gone wild. He actually wrote the movie and produced the movie along with Spielberg. Imagine if a T-Rex was chasing Jo and Bill with their dumb argument and then T-Rex eat those idiot couples. That will work. Not to mention I remember watching this movie as kid, it has pretty special effects and it was a wild summer fun movie with chasing tornadoes and shit. However, as a adult and remember watching it, it's nothing spectacular and it's just a group of chasers are getting these tornadoes disappeared. That's it. Even though this movie is too obnoxious and very dark to see.
"Because THIS is what I want to see in a tornado movie! Couples arguing!"
I've been waiting forever for someone to say that.
I've been waiting my whole life for just couple arguing in a tornado movie
Bill was raised by wild tornadoes, so he knows their ways.
Plot twist: Jo's dad at the beginning of the movie went over the rainbow and met Dorothy. They fell in love and had one child together and named him Bill. Bill had most of his childhood inside of a tornado and was raised by the F5.
Then that would make Bill and Jo half-siblings...Ew.
That would also make Jo way older than Bill.

The special effects are phenomenal and it does a great job of capturing the terror and unpredictability of storms. You'll never find a better storm or tornado movie than Twister.
i agree with you %100, and I watched this movie as a kid, and then i kept watching it till today, where i see new things in the movie
No, it most certainly does deserve the criticism.
screw you! this movie was and still is awesome!
cjallday1130 "Screw you for having an opinion and not ignoring a movie's glaring flaws just cause I say it's perfect!" Brilliant rebuttal, dude.
this movie is literally what MADE these three actors: Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, and the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman!
Just like when I came back after Hoffman's death, I'm back again due to Paxton's death.

a guilty pleasure movie tends to end up as one of the following
1) something so opposite to your personality (at least in public) you love an example of this is a big burly biker guy loving something super girly and like barbie
2) its something very embarassing that you like it and rather others didn't know you liked it

1. Tornadoes can roar. 2. Green Skies usually indicate an extreme severe storm is forming and approaching, usually associated with tornadoes. This is also more originating from farmers that seems to hold up on its own. 3. When I was young and watched the movie, I was thinking the exact same thing in the opening in relation to the father. 4. Oh and during the waterspout scene.

While this movie may be flawed in quite a few things, I think NC was being a little too harsh about the tornado plot. Tornado season in OK? Lots o' twisters. This is before the Enhanced Fujita scale, and yes, F5s are not only rare, but horrifyingly destructive (don't believe me? Wikipedia Greensburg, Kansas and get back to me later) Tornadoes are still incredibly unpredictable, despite all the things we know about them. This movie perfect? No. Decent? Sure. Also I think at the time this movie came out, hiding under an overpass when a tornado approaches was the accepted thinking (now we know holy crap that's a bad idea)
Or Google the May 1999 Oklahoma City tornado, EF5 Joplin, Mo tornado, and the Moore and El Reno OK tornado last year, both EF5s. You're right Wolfbyte, back then it was advised to hide under an overpass if you were near one. And NC was being too harsh on this movie. Because of this movie, I personally took (and still have) an interest in Meteorology with emphasis on tornadoes.
Google April 27, 2011 tornadoes and you see the exact same twister plot pretty much happening. I think we had about 20 tornadoes that day and this movie came to my mind throughout that day.
Look at April, 2011. Over 300 tornados touched down in like 20 states. The events in this movie are not only possible, but they have happened. I get the sense that Nostalgia critic doesn't live anywhere near tornado ally
B Mcgee He lives in Chicago.
***** Then its confirmed, he doesn't live anywhere near tornado alley. Tornados are not terribly common in Illinois, occurring primarily in the southern and western extremes of the state. Chicago has never experienced a significant tornado. Only once in recorded history has a tornado touched down in the city proper and only 4 other times have tornadoes touched ground within the Chicago area in general. Never have they caused notable damage.
Thismovie has always been a guilty pleasure of mine
same
To be fair, id pay money to see a Twister with Jack Nicholson's face on it.
Came back here after hearing sad news, this was the first thing that popped in my mind
it seems that I connect celebrities' deaths with NC's reviews
RIP Bill Paxton
Just found out that Bill Paxton had just died. I had to come back and watch this, as this was one of my favorite reviews on one of my favorite movies. RIP Bill Paxton.

I have to admit in retrospect this movie is actually pretty bad. But it was one of the first "adult" movies my Dad and I watched together and of course, as a kid, I didn´t notice and/or care about all the plot holes, the sometimes terrible dialogue and the stupid as hell climax. I enjoyed it because it looked cool to me as kid and I was watching it with my Dad and had fun. So I simply cannot "hate" this movie, nostalgic bonus and all.

Triassic Iceman *Creepy 😱*
I love how you can see him laughing when he does the "Game over, man" quote
I miss old nc, I still love these videos , he's so good here
Right? The new stuff is not nearly good enough
why did he stop doing the character tho?
You know, people from the Midwest tend to really enjoy this movie while people from other parts of the country tend to dismiss it. At least that's my personal experience with Twister.
Maybe, but it's funny because NC's from the midwest.
Friend, you need to check your maps again.
heirofaniu Illinois is in the midwest.
I thought you were talking about North Carolina, I just realized you meant Nostalgia Critic.
Still, my experience is based on people I've actually met.
My Dad is from Oklahoma, but he ended up moving back to Oregon with my Mom after he met her. Anyway, He said he used to always watch this movie when he was feeling homesick. Lol
RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman :(
Fun fact: Twister was the first movie ever released on DVD.
Wait it was? Because I OWN that on dvd!
I love this movie, but without Dusty it would not be as fun.

"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?"
He's clearly never been to Missouri.
Or anywhere in Tornado Alley.
Riiiight. I've been through nights where the tornado sirens went off a good 10 times here in Arkansas. A lot of his "bad" points about the science of the tornado outbreak was off. They got a lot right to me and anyone else in tornado ally. Except maybe the whole, strap down to a pipe and survive.....
Yeah, & hes wrong about how the Tornadoes Just Vanish. Cause if you look they Slowly Fade away like A Real tornado.
*****
& i Think it was Also the 2003 Season that Spawned an unusual number of Tornadoes.
***** neither the tornado day, with over 148 tornadoes, it was in the 70s
"Jonas, the very name invites douchebag."
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!"
Quite a few, even if you're talking about just one town. Grand Island, NE was hit by 7 tornadoes in one day in 1980, and a couple of small towns in northern Alabama were hit by two F5 tornadoes during the Super Outbreak of 1974. The movie theater tornado is ridiculous because NO ONE sees it coming until the very moment it hits. Real weather nerds would have had their asses in front of a TV/computer watching that sumbitch coming on radar an hour before it hit.
The review was great, though. I highly enjoyed it :-)
Weren't there also a bunch just earlier this week? I don't remember how many, but there was a good handful.
JasminePaygeBrooke
You're right, a couple of weeks ago there was that big tornado outbreak in the Midwest. At least 70 tornadoes were confirmed!
That's awful D: I hope everyone is being helped!
Poyekhali919
Oh wow. I actually live in the midwest. Springfield, IL. I didn't even know there were so many tornadoes. Also, since the film takes place in Oklahoma, which is said to be in the "Tornado Valley", there can be quite a bit of tornadoes in one day. Honestly, I think the Critic is just hamming this review up, like a lot of his reviews. I actually quite enjoy Twister.
***** No shame in that. And yeah, over in Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, all those states in the middle are in Tornado Alley. Probably caused because of warmer currents flowing in from the Gulf of Mexico colliding with the cold air currents flowing in from Canada. Right where they meet, BOOM. Tornado. You're in IL., so you should be safe from tornadoes (though I can expect you do get a good amount of snow every now and then). But tornadoes, they're unpredictable and could happen anywhere (that doesn't mean they're likely to happen), and in Tornado Alley, they could happen any time. It just depends on the air that's going around along with air pressure and other variables like that. And about the Critic . . . Well, he was hammering it, but there are always cases where he doesn't know about a subject as much as he thinks he does. I'm not saying anything bad about him, I'm just saying what I've concluded from the Compilation of his F-ups videos.
For some reason, I laughed pretty hard when he said "Avenge my twistery deaath".
Haha, Imperial March with the black truck...
How many bill paxtons does it take to slam your head against a wall? The world may never know.
RIP Philip S Hoffman
Did anyone else think that Helen Hunt was pretty damn hot in this movie?
Yep
hell yeah
yea she is
Defintely. She was great in Mad About You as well.
Oh yes!
JONAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!!
I actually enjoyed this film for some reason
+drakionclawers Well just because it's a dumb film doesn't make it any less entertaining.
I like looking at tornadoes.
Some of the dumbest movies are the best look at lady in the water I love that movie cause it's the only M night movie were i actually laughed at it
I remember it very fondly myself. Sure, the romance part is quite dumb but I love the team spirit between the twister lads, they're very cool kids, you can really feel the camaraderie. I love that scene where they all play their "we're hunting a tornado!" music together, actually, lol! It's chaotic and good natured, like their crew, I thought it was great. I also love every single dumb line they gave Dusty. The suck zone is legendary, man!
drakionclawers same
When I was younger this was one of my favorite films, along with Shawshank and ConAir.
Ah, 90's cinema.
Shawshank Redemption still hold water.
Joshua Nichols
Yep, I definitely make time to watch it when it comes on TV.
Joshua Nichols Come on. Con Air can be funny, especially with Steve Buscemi singing when the plane falls down from the sky...
darwincity Oh thank god, I'm not the only one who thinks Steve Buscemi is awesome.
He's still Mister Pink to me.
This review's pure gold.
When The Nostalgia Critic said in the drive in theater scene how many tornadoes can you have in one day that simply don't happen. He's wrong that can and do happen practically every year you can have all 5 f scale tornadoes rating even I know that he must had forgotten it because you learn it in school and weather channel it's called a Tornado Outbreak that's why there's so many tornadoes it's an Tornado Outbreak.
My friend and I always used to joke that this movie was the best Dodge commercial ever. Because no matter what happened, that truck stayed intact even after driving through a house. It was a bit silly, but I still enjoyed it.
"Philip Seymour Hoffman isn't here anymore, he's gone", wow, that has such a creepy meaning now.
Iron pipes and leather straps hold you down huh?
Funny, I could have sworn that the centrifugal force of an F-5 tornado would violently spin them with such ruthless power that the straps would tighten and squeeze their guts out of all their orifices like toothpaste.
But I guess the center of a tornado is just full of whimsy! Lalala!
Absolutely loved Twister and don't know anyone who actually dislikes it.
It was exciting, brilliant, epic and heartwarming.
Nostalgia Critic really doesn't like disaster movies. Makes you wonder what happened to teen Doug in the late 90's.
You don't know me then.
Actually Twister's tornado outbreak is completely possible and has happened in American history many times, including the 2011 Super Outbreak which saw hundreds of tornadoes touchdown in a 72 hour period. Hundreds of people died and billion of dollars of damage was done, the effects of that outbreak still felt and seen today.
Joplin for example. The damage of the F5 that struck Joplin, Missouri was compared to a small nuclear bomb and ranks as the costliest tornado of all time in world history. The city is still being repaired today.
"So Bill agrees to stick around to help Dorothy fly because lord knows he can't let Jonas get to it first."
"And who's following close behind?" Cues Darth Vader theme song "JONAAAAAAASSSSSS!"
Literally laughed hysterically during every part of this review that had Jonas in it XD
Funnily enough all the fking problems with tornadoes can be solved by building stone houses.
Not necessarily. An EF5 with winds of 300+ mph will still do severe damage. It may fair better than a normal brick or wood framed house but it won't be habitable after the fact.
Tim O but the chart says . . .
1. I don't see what's funny about that.
2. Shut the fuck up because you don't know what you're talking about.
No not stone only dome homes can take that wind
In a lot of places in tornado alley, it's is extremely difficult if not impossible to build underground storm shelters or basements. Here in Arkansas the ground is extremely hard clay and someone would have to be rich to build a basement or storm shelter. I know my mom told me when she and my Dad built or house, it cost them a crazy amount of money to even have one room lowered a step. You only see basements and shelters farther up north for a reason. It's geology. Sucks.
R.I.P Paxton and Hoffman
Ok, I love this movie. Prepare to be offended in every way possible by stupid haters who are too incompetent to deal with somebody else's opinion, even if they disagree completely. I am allowed to have an opinion
Lol no kidding, damn trolls.
I think its a Bad Ass movie, especially with all the Van Halen Songs.
Everyone has their guily pleasures, and not so guilty pleasures. \o
Fuck this movie, I wanna play twister with Helen Hunt
The stupidest thing is, the main character is really selfish while he pretends he's not. If he only cared for science, why would he care if Jonas did it for the money?
Remember to drink Pepsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~!
I know they're incredibly stupid, but I LOVE the '90s disaster movie genre. So badly entertaining! My personal fav is Volcano.
*****
And they're perfect for rainy days or a sick day.
Volcano made my brain try to leave my skull via my ears. It sucked. For a better '90s disaster movie you need Dante's Peak. Which also sucks but is a bit better.
I hated DAnte's Peak.
Anastasia Alexandra That's my favorite as well :) I personally like the Natural disaster movies of the 90's; yeah some of the acting, plots and other stuff like that were little iffy, but I did like the action and thrills it produced with the thought of mother nature's PMS mood swings wreaking havoc.
Rest In Peace Bill Paxton
"Why was it (Twister) such a big hit? Because of the effects!"
Hmm, now why does that sound familiar? Cough cough Avatar cough cough!!
How dare Doug Walker call Deep Purple annoying, they're bloody awesome!
"It's ok, they're taking me to McDonald's anyway!" LMAO! XD
I don't know why but when NC does the "Heeeere's Twisty!" Line it just cracks me up
Yep. Helen Hunt is totally devoid of hotness.
She's Not That Hot.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton
Rest in peace, Bill.
Actually, this movie is pretty acurate. Tornadoes are measured with F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 , F5 being the worst, its diameter can be almost a mile long and tornadoes have several smaller tornadoes inside of them. However to your credit tornadoes go in a certain direction due to the wind in one going in one direction. Not to mention the fact that tornadoes last for about 45 minutes. And on that last part, it would have been smarter to to the side not in the path of the tornado. They also could have used chain instead of leather belts. However despite it's flaws this is a nostalgic movie for me because when I was little I liked tornadoes and I wanted to see one.
Um... regardless of what you strap yourself to an F5 would break whatever bones it could to get you out of that strap in literally one second. This movie may have the F1-5 scale down, but the rest of it is just bullshit devoid of science, where an F2 apparently can take out a house but leaves the main characters and nearby trees untouched. Plus the characters are boring and 2-dimensional, it's impossible to get remotely attached to any of them. Honestly I never really liked this movie beyond pure eye candy for its special effects. :/
Like I said, this is a nostalgic movie for me and I first watched this, I had a love of storms, and I was too young to have a grasp of logic, so I didn't care. I guess that because of that, I don't care about the B S.
The tornado was a Lions roar played in slo-mo backwards
MusicalPorpoise
also to the previous whirlwind with storm. I'm not from US so I don't experience more than just strong winds and storms but with such storm being so near them as it was in the station...wouldn't it destroy the electrical stuff they have? I was always told to unplug computer whenever there was a huge storm.
critic, I will love you for eternity if you do armageddon
"We don't know anything about how tornadoes work"... Sorry, but having been a Weather Forecaster for 5 years, and actually studying how weather works, The alarming lack of science in this movie makes my head hurt more than a geneticist's whilst watching Jurassic Park...
+Tom Forrest Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park wrote the script for this!!!
I don't know why, but for some reason this is my favorite Nostalgia Critic review.
"Avenge my twisters death". Funniest quote I've heard in awhile.
How many tornadoes can their be in one day? Well the record is 211 on April 27 2011. Of course that is over several states but still.
11:58 It's the MUDDAFUCKIN T REX!
MuppetMollyStarGleek
Nostalgia Critic: What? They had some dinosaurs inside this barn house or something?
Me: I wish.
"So it starts off with, oddly enough, a twister!"
...
...
...
What a twist!
*gets slapped*
I swear, this is the BEST critique 😂😂
I aint gonna lie I loved this movie, Oh I agree that it has problems but I don't care its just fun. Dusty is easily my favorite character in the show. Carey Elwes REALLY CANNOT do a southern accent. But still I watch this at least once a year ussually around the first thunderstorm of the season.
u sound like a fun person to hang with. NOT!
in my best arnold swartzenegger voice:"maybe he will find this funny later when he realizes i made my respone sound like im from the 90's because twister is a totally gay movie from the 90's. hahaha"
What bugged me the most per say was how the father in the beginning was sucked out of the cellar by the twister (while holding the door) but in the climax, the woman and the man stayed on ground long enough to see the insides of a tornado, with nothing but a belt and a metal pipe.
im gonna have to agree with u there. its such a crappy movie! how was it so sucessfull? terrible writing! i guess back then the cgi was so good. piece of shit movie in my opinion.
Mayu Hinamori there are definitely things in this movie which were impossible in real life....BUT maybe the dad would have survived if he had been tied to a metal pipe with a belt. Cause at the end it does suck them upwards, but they stay tied to the pipe, and would have been blown away, like the dad, otherwise.
20:23
MY NAME IS JONAS
I'M CARRIED IN THE WIND
idk why "avenge my twistery death" got me harder than anything else in this review as a kid but goddammit, it still does
"I'll teach you make fun of television meteorology!!!" And the Ozzy Osborne lines mad me go to tears.
I cant remember how old I was when this movie first came out. but I always thought that the tornado was literally alive because of how it always chased the main characters and that it always appeared so often. they made the tornado look like the wind version of Jaws.
Well people have survived being caught by F5 tornadoes.
I'm not surprised. They're basically one of nature's Tesla coils.
You should look at the work of Dr. Judy Wood (9/11 researcher)...because drew a lot of parallels between the behavior of tornadoes and purported anti-gravity effects by people like John Hutchison (a sort of maverick scientist, who is worth looking up in his own right).
Dr wood recalls accounts of people who say they could breathe while in a tornado (so it wasn't a huge vacuum). When people die, it's usually from being crushed or hit with debris.
It also explain how a car can be balanced precariously on top of a fence, or a truck can be returned to earth relatively undamaged, after being lifted miles into the air by a tornado.
It explains why there can be the side of a house missing like it was sliced off with a blade, but the exposed room has undisturbed papers, etc.
It can explain why a passing tornado can pick up and jostle around young adults who had locked themselves in a walk-in cooler (which would never allow huge winds without sustaining damage itself)...yet nobody felt any wind...and there was no damage to the cooler they were in.
Putting aside the 9/11 parallels, it has huge implications for our entire scientific paradigm...And shitty movie aside, the way these storm systems _actually_ behave should have everyone asking fundamental questions, like how gravity relates to electro-magnetism, etc.
Perhaps we should be asking whether relativity is even right or simply another convenient mathematical device that happened to predict gravitational lensing, yet is deeply flawed at a metaphysical level.
Your little one line response could be quite the rabbit hole.
+anonymouseketeamster That sounds pretty stupid
+anonymouseketeamster As a person who's both survived an F5 AND become a Physicist, I can safely say you're full of shit, and so is this movie.
But the effects were decent.
I found it annoying that he kept harping on the fact that the tornadoes just suddenly disappear when that's actually how they behave. Tornadoes aren't like hurricanes or thunderstorms that stick around for a while and move great distances. They show up for a little bit, do a variable amount of damage, and then vanish.
NC, they weren't named after keyboards... fuck, why bother,no one is gonna read this anyway.
I did lol
mindlessgonzo Why don't you spam this fact on his videos then? I mean, another Top 11 Fuck-Ups list can't be too far away.
acemckillayoface That would be mean.
mindlessgonzo I didn't say to be rude. I meant keep reminding him until he sees one of those comments.
mindlessgonzo It was a joke?
My god the number of times I had to sit through this movie in class... Seriously, I've seen this crappy movie more times then I can remember T_T
Actually Critic yes. They put a roaring sound inside of the tornado and it looks like roaring of a T-Rex. It was based on Steven Spielberg & Michael Crichton idea that what if tornado chase through with human characters and have a roaring sound that it refers to Michael Crichton science gone wild. He actually wrote the movie and produced the movie along with Spielberg. Imagine if a T-Rex was chasing Jo and Bill with their dumb argument and then T-Rex eat those idiot couples. That will work.
Not to mention I remember watching this movie as kid, it has pretty special effects and it was a wild summer fun movie with chasing tornadoes and shit. However, as a adult and remember watching it, it's nothing spectacular and it's just a group of chasers are getting these tornadoes disappeared. That's it. Even though this movie is too obnoxious and very dark to see.
I lost it when he said, "I'll get you next time, Paxton. NEXT TIME!"
Until April 2011, I was also with Nostalgia Critic. "How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!" Answer: several.
