    One of the reasons this movie holds up is because of the way Melissa is portrayed. Not as the other woman causing issues, she's someone you genuinely like and care for, and she handles the ending of the relationship so well, she understands.

      I was thinking this exactly. Her attitude and approach with the relationship had an impact and definitely made an impression on me as a young girl when this came out. And then it's odd to think about how such a normal, reasonable, mature attitude like hers is so rarely depicted. I guess dysfunction is more theatrical? And what is the impact to people when in turn they are seeing relationships modeled in these unhealthy but dramatic ways and thinking this is how relationships work?

    Real life tornado chasers really appreciated this movie, so much so that when Bill Paxton died, they positioned themselves in the midwest with their storm chasing vehicles. Their positions on GPS spelled out his initials as they were hundreds of miles apart. Pretty impressive feat. I was in an F5 tornado at the age of 10, one of the largest ever recorded. I didn't go into meteorology as a profession, but have been fascinated with tracking weather as a hobby ever since. Look up the Xenia Ohio 1974 tornado. That's the one that destroyed my town.

    FLORIDA MAN HERE.
    A word to the wise: if you're ever faced with a tornado scooping you up and you think that tying yourself to a pipe that runs deep underground will save you, JUST KEEP RUNNING.
    A force that can rip trees out of the ground and decimate houses will ABSOLUTELY be a giant blender to a human body. The filmmakers did a spectacular job at showing the kind of power and damage that a tornado can do, but that's the one part that they got wrong, and has been a colossal joke among fans of this movie for years.
    Maybe parts of their forearms would be left strapped to that pipe, but the rest of them would have been turned into jam.

    One bit of real crazy thing about this movie Twister. Is in 1996 when that movie came out I saw a story on the News on tv that there was a drive-in movie theater, I cannot remember which state, but the people watching a movie in their cars and suddenly a real tornado hit them. The movie they were all watching was "Twister" there is a scene in the movie where a tornado hits a movie theater as well but this one was in real life. Very insane coincidence!

Hodenfield) and durning the summer his teacher was always a background actor in one of Holdenfield's movie's and would come back to the Midwest with all these stories. Well, this time, he came back with one of the famous blue shirts Bill Paxton wears throughout this movie. There were several. It has his initials in it, and he gave it to my husband. It still hangs in our closet. (BTW my husband says his teacher is some medic you see for half a second in this movie)

    The explosions you always see during tornadoes are the transformers on electric poles. In elementary school I lived in Omaha Nebraska right in tornado alley. I’ve seen more than my share of tornadoes. The one time I remember the most was on the 4th of July when my family had just gotten to the hill where people watched the fireworks and as soon as we got to the top my dad turned around and just told us to run back to the car. He actually saw the tornado when he crested the hill. We raced home (about 15 miles) and got into our shelter when people in the neighborhood started showing up because we had the best shelter on the street. Thankfully it didn’t hit our street but it came within 2 blocks. The man who is now my fiancée lived 4 houses down and he remembers his family going to my house that night. I’ve seen a pine needle that went straight through a tree trunk after a tornado before. That was mind blowing

    I love all the homages to other iconic films from the past, especially The Wizard of Oz! The dog in the beginning, Toby, is the same breed as Toto. There was a cow flying the the tornado in Wizard of Oz. Of course, the instrument pack is Dorothy. When they are at the motel, a Judy Garland movie is playing in the background.
    I also love the big movie screen flying apart right when Jack is breaking apart the door in The Shining.
    I saw the trailer for Twister in the movie theater before anyone had heard of it. There was a scene in the trailer that never made it in the movie. A piece of a building flew directly at the camera. So cool on the big screen!

    I've lived all my life in a place where tornadoes are not uncommon. I'm 62 and I've never seen one. Two times I think there was one that barely grazed my property, causing tree damage....You just have to be aware of the weather. It IS wise to have a place to go when tornadoes happen (basement/inner room/storm cellar).

    Twister is probably my all time favorite movie, I watched this over 100 times as a kid even though it terrified me and gave me nightmares. Sone kids were obsessed with dinosaurs and have dinosaur Trapper Keepers cause Jurassic Park but my friends and I were obsessed with tornadoes.
    Then a year or two after this movie came out around 1997 or 1998 we went on a class trip to the Franklin Institute that just recently opened a tornado exhibit that had the actual one of the Dorothy props from this movie and was able to touch it.
    I'm NOT proud of this but some of the paint was starting to peel so I peeled a tiny piece of paint off that was part of Dorothy's blue dress. I think I still have it. But now that I'm older I realize that was a pretty sh*tty thing to do.

    As someone who studied to be a Meteorologist and wanted to be a storm chaser for a time, this movie holds a special place for me. Still holds up, AND we're finally getting a sequel after all these years. Sadly, Bill Paxton passed away a few years ago and only Helen Hunt is confirmed to be in the sequel (supposedly it'll be about their kid(s) taking up the mantle with an even more insane tornado outbreak). As for when Bill Paxton passed, actual storm chasers in the mid-west etc used GPS and all lined up to spell out his initials on a google map of the GPS because of how actually accurate this movie is to the storm chaser crowd. Obviously not super accurate when it comes to the tornadoes (though not far off to be fair) the storm chaser life is quite a bit similar to the movie, so they paid tribute to Bill Paxton.

    It's hard to imagine ANY sequel to this masterpiece without the two most standout characters of the original, and genuine amazing humans. What an unbelievable thrill ride this was and movie theater experience as a kid watching this.
    I personally lived in tornado alley for years in the Texas region, around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and various others and tornado drills were a real thing growing up in school; just as regular or more as fire drills were. Been in two tornadoes that I was fortunate to avoid serious harm, simply by genuine luck if anything. An enormous well built theater as we were watching Titanic I think, that kept us sheltered (the sight from the exit door was out of this world). The other was as a 5th grade living in Plano, Texas that we avoided just out of sheer fortune; bundled up together with family in the closet.
    I'll tell you, growing up in those regions just in my own experience, heavy thunderstorms are my happy weather. Call me crazy but I love a grey sky. Claps of Thunder, lightening, and rain get me all excited and anxious at the same time.

    Tornadoes really aren't that common, but severe thunderstorms are.
    When the sirens go off we all go outside and chat up the neighbors and look at the sky and then when it starts to "go green" we slowly drift back to our porches and listen to the local weather and watch until the hail starts.
    After the hail it goes dead silent before the wind really picks up - and that's when you need to head inside.
    It's so bad around here that we have signs every five hundred yards on the the major roadways that say "When Thunder Roars Go Indoors ⚡" 😊

    Not from a tornado, but when I was with the Red Cross, I have seen a house that looked like it was rolled a quarter mile from it's home site onto the center of a roadway, as a result of storm surge during Hurricane Rita (on our way to Cameron, LA). More likely knocked over and floated down the highway. Someone had painted the house address in big white letters on its side, with "Please return to this address". I can't see a tornado rolling a structure, picking it up and tossing maybe.

    Tornados aren't something we constantly think about. We have tornado season which is right now thru May. If you look up Andover, Ks. Tornado, you'll see a ton of videos of people standing around while it's going by.

    I'm a native Minnesotan, tornado alley is part of us. The scariest part IMHO is at night, when everyone is asleep. Although we, like most here have a basement, ours is extremely small, within 6ft of the furnace and gas water heater. I'm not convinced it's the best area if a tornado comes through. 😮

    Fun fact: one of the meteorologists you hear on the TV at Meg's house and the drive-in theater motel, Rick Mitchell, is the chief meteorologist for NBC5 in Dallas/Ft. Worth where I live. He is a FANTASTIC meteorologist and does a stellar job covering dangerous weather events. I've been an amateur weather buff all of my life, my sister is a storm chaser with SkyWarn and Spotter Network, and both of us trust him implicitly.

I have relatives near tornado alley. Everytime there is nasty weather. Or a tornado near them. I ask my dad to call. Luckily their house is protected. Sending prayers to those/communities affected by tornadoes. Very tragic and sad. The communities/families that were affected.

By the way, my best friend is a custodian for "OU" in Norman, Oklahoma, and one of the buildings that he cleans in is the meteorology department that has a museum with stuff from the movie, including the rival instruments. 😎 I have yet to take the tour, though.

    Tornadoes are one of the most fascinating subjects of weather. They're capable of great destruction, and yet, can be remarkably gentle. One report showed a basket of eggs had been picked up by a tornado, and it was set down without a single egg cracking. Another report showed a group of school children in Japan getting picked up by a tornado, and it set them down without so much as a bruise.A product of nature being capable of so much destruction, yet also being capable of being gentle. It's amazing.

    Mark 1:46. Howdy! 🤠 Yesterday, I almost viewed this, but I didn't feel like writing then, so I put it off until now. First, that's an "oil pump"! We used to have several on our property back when we had 160 acres. (By the way! We didn't get any royalties because they were here before we were.) Now we're down to a measly 5 acres. But anyway, an "oil rig" is what they use to drill with! A truck hauls it from place to place during the oil exploration phase. Except when they are at sea and become mobile "oil platforms" that get towed by tugs. An "oil derrick" is built on the site. They are seen in a lot of movies and "WB" cartoons. The theme park "Six Flags Over Texas" claims to have "The World's Tallest Oil Derrick"! It looks like a red "Eiffel Tower"!
    Now that I have that out of the way! Ahem. The movie means a lot to me as segments of it were made in Pauls Valley, Garvin County, Oklahoma & Chickasaw Nation. When I drove through one of the outdoor locations, an on-set night watchman stopped me to ask about the local nightspots. We talked for so many hours, with my car engine idling, that dawn happened before we knew it! Local immigrants were showing up to sneak some fishing in at their usual spots, and he had to go deal with them and so ended our hours long conversation.
    The diner built for the movie in Maysville still exists but not as such. The locals there already had their favorite diners and didn't need an extra one. There weren't enough tourists to keep it open as a diner. So now it is used for storage, though the exterior looks the same. At least it did during my last drive by it. 🤔 For the locals, it was set too far away.
    All that's left though of the scenes set at the first local reservoir known as the "Pauls Valley City Lake" is during the end credits as seen from an aerial view.
    Locals that got to be used during the making of the movie were very disappointed not to see themselves in the final cut of the movie after telling people that they were in it!
    Unless the business died off over time, people can take the "Official Twister Tour" of the various locations in our state
    Actress Helen Hunt's family has a big ranch in the state. It is somewhere north of the city of Ada and, by coincidence, I have driven by the big entrance with their name "HUNT" above it!
    Actress Jennifer Garner bought out her grandparents' big farm where the plants used for her line of health and beauty products are grown.
    Reba McEntire's family has a 6,000-acre ranch!

    I was raised in Oklahoma. There is NOTHING more harrowing, than to have the sirens go off at 2 am, get out of bed, barely getting your jeans on, gathering everyone up to run outside into the rain and hail, to get to the storm cellar! Believe me, it's the stuff that nightmares are made of! Dad would stand with the cellar door open, waiting to see the tornado before closing the door. The fear and anxiety is the same as being in wartime. We would all breath a sigh of relief, when the sirens would sound the "all clear", once the storm cloud had passed.

    Hey Kabir, I've been watching you for a while now. I'm from Georgia, US. When I was in first grade, they gathered all of the classes together to teach us about the dangers of tornados. They showed us 8 year olds a film called TERRIBLE TUESDAY, about the largest tornado that has ever hit the US at the time, in Texas on a Tuesday morning. We were shown footage and testimonials from people on that day that locked themselves in a bank vaults that were found mangled several miles down the street, and one person that had held onto a tree branch so hard that his arms were severed... Absolutely gruesome!!! No such tornados really hit here, but after that, every time there is a storm, I'm terrified!! Thanks elementary school!! Sheesh! That being said, this film is somewhat therapeutic for me.. I like your videos. Keep up the good work.

Back then, cynics and skeptics alike lost it during that scene because they couldn't accept that mere belts and their arm strength could keep them there after seeing the farm buildings get destroyed. During the prologue, they probably failed to notice that her father was still holding onto that storm cellar door even as he was being lifted away with it!

    To this day, that scene where the shelter door gets torn off its hinges is still one of the scariest things I've ever seen in a movie. I've been terrified of tornadoes since I first learned about them in school, so I hope to God I never get caught in one. And yet, I find I cannot stop watching documentaries and real-time footage of them, especially the 2013 Moore tornado, where you see it go from a squiggly pencil funnel to a raging EF-5 monster in under ten minutes.

    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. 👩🏼👨🏻🌪

    90s movies alllll day. Any day. I’m glad you’re fascinated by tornadoes. I was born and raised in Destin Florida, which is hurricane alley. I lived through hurricane opal where my mother took on an old video camera footage of before during and after the hurricane in the early 90s and sold the footage to the national guard for training purposes.
    Afterwords, we had to take boats to cross an island to get to the closest middle school, high school and hospital. Destin, Florida. It was just a spot on the map as a small fishing village and now it’s a vacation hot spot for the ultra wealthy.
    This is 100% authentic and I remember seeing this in theaters. I was born in 1983. This is exactly what it’s like living in the panhandle of Florida. Also, I lived in Louisiana, Baton Rouge, and Monroe just after Katrina.

    Mark 20:28. Relatively recently, despite the newer technology available since the movie, two storm chasers collided with each other and died! Why? They were gawking at the storm and not looking where they were going. That's when I wrote to someone somewhere that professional drivers that have better training than civilians, such as "OHP Troopers", should do the driving so that the scientists can focus on the weather, rather than split their attention that way.
