Actually Tornadoes do skip over houses and just disappear. When I was a baby apparently a tornado managed to rip half my room off, but miss me and not wake my parents.
Bro you’re the chosen one…
When Nostalgia Critic said “How Many Tornadoes Can There Be In One Day? Is This Like The 11Th Belated Prague Of Egypt? This Simply Do Not Happen” I always say uh yes it does happen literally every year. It’s called a Tornado Outbreak and they can have every EF Scale Tornado it just depends on how powerful the supercell thunderstorm is. And funny thing is that Doug Walker lives in Illinois in a Chicago Suburb and it’s not on “official” maps but Illinois is part of Tornado Alley so we DO get Tornadoes they just don’t happen as often as the main part of Tornado Alley like Texas and Kansas.
This movie is a guilty pleasure for me. I was a kid when it came out. We rented it from Blockbuster and I watched the movie 3 times in one day. I go back to it every few years. Just a fun popcorn flick.
Did you ever return it to blockbuster?
@@theduckgoesmoo of course. we rented as much as we could. Huge Blockbuster family, so we had to stay on good terms with them.
I'd always suggest Starship Troopers from Nostalgia Critic
Twister was inspired by NOAA after some very serious tornado disasters (One of those being the outbreak of 1985). Even if the movie might not be as good to some people, you need its context. It was literally made as an awareness that tornadoes are VERY dangerous. They went as far as the music being used to create such an ominous tone and even a guitar being used to create a tornado siren for a scene in the movie. The music was made to instill as much dread and fear as a tornado would so the orchestra worked hard to make songs that would put the thought of wind, sirens, and even tornadoes themselves, in your mind. Sure, awful acting and annoying parts, but it was more focused on warning people of tornadoes. Namely, the North, since in the 1985 outbreak the tornadoes went as far as Ohio where one crossed Ohio into Pennsylvania and caused some serious damages since, around the time, people thought tornadoes could NEVER happen in Pennsylvania. '85 proved people wrong and my hometown, to this day, still has people that survived it traumatized since the tornado split into three and hit with no warning... It even took out the siren the town had before it could ever issue a warning.
I love the movie for the reasons it was made and its unique and creative methods with music to add more feeling to a fake tornado. To this day the movie gives me chills, as it also does for my mom who survived a direct hit from the 1985 outbreak. It also shows that tornadoes can do some very odd things that before were thought a tornado could never do (Tornadoes used to be said to stay on a set path, unable to move sideways or jump, incapable of going down one hill into a valley and then up the other hill). It also showed that they can happen at any time, day or night, and even water won't slow them. It also demonstrated that these could be VERY strong.
Well said.
I have two nostalgia critic that you might want to see, his review on Adventures of Pluto Nash as I like to see your reaction to how the video opens up, and also maybe his review on Hancock where he goes to many missed jokes, that it would be interesting to see your reaction to a certain event that happened months ago.
My vote goes to Pluto Nash, but I really hope he checks out Hancock at some point.
What event?
@@theduckgoesmoo Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Wait, you saw a movie, one that didn't revolve around a killer tire? It's an early Christmas miracle, but sadly that movie's Twister so I resend that miracle. Also, yes, that horse really is in this movie.
Still holding out on checking the Adequately Impressive Three trilogy, since you know summer. Superhero blockbuster and all that.
Followed up by Kazaam and/or Steel since you seem to be a big fan of Shaq
Who doesn’t love shaq?

These can help understand the type of childhood Doug has.
While I don’t have any tornado experience, the neighborhood I used to live in experienced 2 hurricanes (not at the same time, or course). One time, it happened when I was still in school (which wasn’t that far from where I lived), the other happened when I was home. You can imagine the looks on me & my mom when we were standing by the computer when it happened, we look out the window, & we just see a giant wall of wind heading towards us in the span of a second. Thankfully, it wasn’t strong enough to break the windows in our house, but it was still pretty scary. Since then, I’ve moved out, & while the places I lived in had tornado warnings, none of them came close enough for me to “experience” it.
I’ve experienced a number of hurricanes since North Carolina is the second most likely to get hit by a hurricane. My mom grew up at the beach and they would have hurricane parties
I remember the twister ride that was cool
The next NC video could do is “The Dark Age of Movies”, where he talks about films that are similar to this.
The Haunting. That's a must-watch NC review. Directed by the same person as this one.
Thanks for this; I needed a good laugh!
Yes, Twisters can skip. During the F5 Andover Kansas twister, the school roof 1 and 1/2 blocks away was ripped off but the bicycles in the back yard that were only standing with the kick stands weren't even knocked over
Nature is scary
Reminds me of the "I am the storm that is approaching" meme with the lawn chair. 😂
But I doubt tornadoes skip over and disappear THIS much and THIS conveniently. Like, the tornadoes in this movie disappear and skip over things too much.
@@william3100 true. Alot of that extra and convenient hopping was plot armor, or for dramatic effect.
@@driverr988 not to mention how extremely rare it is for a tornado to "skip" over stuff.
You saw Titantic but what about Titenic? by Jontron?
I haven’t seen anything by him
Please react to the NC-Shyamalan-Episodes

Devil

Etc.
312 is apparently the single day record for tornados in the US.
That’s literally insane
Hey duck, you REALLY need to react to "how I survived my first hardcore nuzlocke" by Captain Kidd as soon as possible. Trust me you NEED to see it.
In case you dont know, Captain Kidd is Branden, Alpharad's friend who gave him awful advice during his nuzlockes. He did his own nuzlocke to make up for his mistakes and believe me, you NEED to see it. I dont want to spoil why but PLEASE trust me and watch it!
I saw my cameo haha it’s so awesome I didn’t watch the entire video because it was 7am
@@theduckgoesmoo ahh dang, you already saw it. Still, It was an awesome surprise to see you show up!
@@mattardis it’s definitely not something I expected! You should’ve saw my face when I saw it
This movie and Dantes Peak are two of my go to movies when I dont know what I want to watch
I’m loving these older review reactions! Thanks! If you want a really funny one, there’s his Captain Planet review, if you wanna know how nuts environment messaging can get as kids tv.
Nope, the truck literally exploded after the tornado threw it to the ground.
You should watch Nostalgia Critics VERY LONG video on Toonami. Toonami is essentially a program on Cartoon Network that's more aimed towards Older kids and teens, bassically In between the more child friendly Cartoon Network and the adults only Adult Swim. It aired alot of action shows, mainly anime. And Nostalgia Critics review on it is a phenomenal video, check it out.
Fun fact: I have that very video he showed there. The song is The Greatest Show Unearthed by Creature Feature, that’s how I know. He just put the credit on it
This movie scare me when I was younger because I have a fear of tornadoes ( and it looked a lot better when I was younger)
When I watched twisters honestly whenever the characters were looking at each other through the window in thier trucks 14:46 to 14:48 always came to mind.
God I remember there was a time I thought this was peak cinema. This was my favorite movie for a good 5 years. Then I discovered Jurassic Park. And better movies in general.
Heck yeah, Jurassic Park's my favorite Live Action Movie.
Fun Fact: Twister was the first film to be released on DVD
It was popular Because.... Cow! ,' nother Cow!
Probably won't see this but an answer to your question about how it was not raining in the first tornado storm has a logical reasoning. There are sometimes LP Supercells that can produce tornadoes. LP stands for Low Precipitation. It is usually a storm chasers dream to have a storm with no rain as most tornadoes get wrapped in rain making it difficult to view them. LP's are rare and usually only happen in Colorado or the dry areas of the plains. Seems like when we have storms here in OKC like 98% of them turn out to be rain wrapped monsters.
We know how tornadoes are formed and how they work, but predicting them with 100% accuracy is incredibly difficult as they can be very unpredictable.
Dusty: The NSSL predicted an F5. - Me: Wait what? That makes absolutely no sense!
so duck, would you watch this movie
He did
the 90's were the dark age of cinema everything became bland effects movies, forced environmental messages, PR for the FBI and just general sucking
I just watched this movie and the review yesterday and thought about you reacting to it that funny 🐱
Natural Disaster movies were a different take on the Thriller genre, and the cast was very charismatic, also doesnt help that Tornadoes are a constant concern for many people including myself.
One of those moments where we realize we’re not the biggest fish
The part of the movie where she gets really emotional and thinks the tornado targeted her directly as a kid She does have a Radio and headset on her The headset Is hanging around her neck
What's sad is this was directed by the guy who directed _Speed_ (1994) and that was the ONLY good film he's directed, whereas this and the rest of his director filmography just were NOT good.
What else did he do?
@@theduckgoesmoo excluding _Speed_ and _Twister,_ he directed the 1998 remake of _The Haunting_ (which sucked ass), _Speed 2: Cruise Control_ (which is so bad that it's borderline so bad it's good), and the 2nd Angelina Jolie TR movie _Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life_ (which wasn't as "guilty pleasure fun" as the first one).
I'd love to see you do his weirdest Jack and The Beanstalk video. @
"At least one of you have seen a tornado with your own eyes."
Umm... I live in the Midwest and an EF1 hit my town just a few weeks ago...
Also, the most surreal moment of my entire life was due to a tornado - about 20 years ago I was working my first job at a Dairy Queen and a massive supercell storm is rolling through and spawned multiple tornados (lookup the May 2003 tornado outbreak). Rotation and a funnel cloud were reported a couple miles away and moving towards our store and we move all customers and employees into the walk-in cooler since it's built into the foundation... while in there and listening to the weather radio for an all-clear, the manager and I hear a "ding" on our headsets (meaning something tripped the drive-thru). Massive wind, the sound of hail, and tornado sirens can all be heard... as well as a diesel engine and a voice, "Yeah... I'd like to get a chicken strip basket and a peanut butter cup blizzard." Nature's giving you all the signs that it wants to harm you and this dude just wanted some munchies... he even got pissed off when we told him we weren't taking orders and that he should take cover.
Oh, and that 15 years ago EF5 you're probably thinking about - Joplin, MO. That's about 2 hours south of me - our office organized a trip down there after it was hit to help with clean-up and repair, especially since many people here know people with family in Joplin. It looked really, really bad - like you'd expect from a strong tornado... until you got to the area that took a direct hit near the hospital... that looked apocalyptic - you couldn't tell what anything was, it was like someone took the entire neighborhood, shredded it, shook it like a snowglobe in a paint shaker, then put it back.
My dad has played this movie SO many times i can probably write the entire script and timing off memory…
The cow sucked up into the twister, definitely that and I think a meme exists but Idk of it, I just got pulled into watching the movie because of that.
tornadoes and huricanes can pick up and fling animals, truks, schools ect you prob get it
it has even rained fish (also spiders and other animals/insects such as frogs) and make it rain somewhere else
yes raining fish is real also sharknado isnt as unrealistic as you think the sharks would almost def be dead tho before being flung tho and it would have to be one heck of a tornado tho

This isn't a Nostalgia Critic recommendation, but I do have a video that you might like. Remember those two One Piece videos you watched about why you should read/watch it by Super Eyepatch Wolf? Well, he also made a similar video about a game franchise called Yakuza, and I think you'd like the video, as well as suspect the video will sell you on the Yakuza games. It's called "Yakuza is Stupid and Beautiful and I Love it." The video is about 25 minutes long and it talks about the themes and stories of the Yakuza games, and how amazing they are. Again, I highly recommend both the video itself, and the Yakuza games.
Hmmm
Twister isn't the only movie with a reputation of "why did everyone love this movie, its crap", another notable one is Event Horizon. And like Twister visually its great but storywise and with the characters? Its a anemic action movie dressed up like a scifi, a wolf in sheeps clothing. But again, good visuals.
I live in the south west. I’ve seen haboobs. Which are massive dust storms that are impossible to see through. Also wicked monsoons.
Oh that’s fun
as someone from oklahoma.. i can verify.. yes.. we are like these people lol
Even after all this time with so many scientists studying them, we still don’t understand why some supercell thunderstorms produce tornadoes and others don’t. That’s why we have so many false alarm warnings. It’s to the point where some people don’t pay attention to the warnings anymore. Also, Dorothy was based on an actual device called TOTO.
Still gonna recommend Garbage Pail Kids review
(day 2 asking to react to gwain saga) never watched it but the twisters clips look sick and terrifying
Please react to Nostalgia Critic's reviews of Mad Max: Fury Road and Deadpool 2!
Please react to Brewstew Haunted Duplex!
This is one of my favorite movies.
Dvd don exist in 1996 eder
Well, some people say the tornadoes in this movie look realistic I say they look like Gloop Gloop NATO’s
It's a sin you don't know who Phillip Seymour Hoffman is
Since you're checking out some of NC's earlier reviews, you should see the one he does for "Barb Wire". It features pin-up actress Pamela Anderson, her big boobs, and one of the most hilariously cheesy catchphrases ever uttered in film ("Don't call me babe!").
I saw this movie at 13
It's a dumb film, but it's a fun kind of dumb, like a roller coaster with one-liners. Turn off your brain, enjoy the ride, and watch with others so you can enjoy reciting lines at each other the next time it airs on TV
Why was this movie so popular? Easy: It's junk food that pretends to be smarter than it is. It's made for the lowest common denominator of audience, the ones dumb enough to enjoy stupid movies, but especially like it when the movie makes them feel smart for understanding it, but are also completely lost when an actual smarter movie expects them to be able to think and understand it without being spoonfed exactly how it all fits together.
This perfectly explains it! I hate when I watch a movie and really enjoy it and try to show someone and they don’t like it because they don’t think
As far as this pretending to be smarter than it really is, actual meteorologists have reviewed this movie on youtube and thought the movie did a pretty good job with the science. It's not pretending anything and it does an adequate job of balancing science and escapism for average people. Life is complicated and can be difficult. Maybe most people aren't "dumb" or looking to validate their intelligence through viewing a popcorn flick, but just want to turn off and escape into a movie for two hours. Sheesh.
2:27 ... Ti-TANT-tic?
Shhhh I’ve always done it
"TitanTic"
Shhhh it’s okay
