I cant wait until Thursday, my next day off so that I can watch both of them back to back :) lil marathon from the comfort of my bedroom and kettle corn microwave popcorn 🍿
I noticed the visual effects of Twisters was obviously better but they actually did their homework on wall clouds and overall storm structure. I think this is because today we have so much high resolution storm footage available at the touch button versus back in the day. I watched the making of the first movie and what you see is the visual effects artists looking at photographs of tornadoes more than Videos.
The whole “multiple angles with portable radars to record in depth data” part reminded me of Pecos Hank and Skip Talbot’s strategy of getting video from multiple angles and using photogrammetry to estimate wind speeds. Not the same tech but similar concept
I still haven't seen Twister but my husband surprised me with going to see Twisters! Man's not even a weather buff and I didn't even realize where we were going until we got to the theater. I still knew enough about Twister by this point to be able to point out some of the more overt references.
I just saw the movie last week! All I was thinking no you don't do that! Also I was thinking, what did El Reno do to deserve that. It's was very cool seeing Mike Morgan from KFOR in Oklahoma City.
When the first one was made they weren't calling them "EF" either and since then there have been some historic tornadoes that stand out that probably influenced the sequel.
A couple of things. Twisters has Dorothy V (Not Dorothy IV that got sucked up into the tornado in Twister). However, in Twister they stated they made 4 of them, so it's still something that shouldn't have existed unless Jo & Bill had made another one for another attempt after the end of Twister. As for the driving through the farmhouse, and the flying cow..... I think it would have been too obvious a callback, so instead it was a more subtle Chicken Coup with a hen landing on their truck after everything had settled. So, I think they did at least pay homage without doing so "in your face." Just a continuity issue with the original Twister, they drove into the farmhouse with it being on its side..... inside they drove up a staircase, but then came out the other end at ground level with the house still laying on its same side in the same position in the road. Most people are too involved in the excitement of the scene to really pay much attention to that.... but after watching the movie dozens of times, it tends to really stand out.
I truly believe they should have casted Reed Timmer and used some of his crazy footage and actually tornado Chase IRL... a movie like that would have been amazing....
one thing in twisters that's not in twister is Jo was told by aunt Meg to go stop the tornado as a friendly "joke" suggestion and Jo says she doesn't know how, but in twisters Kate figures out how to stop the tornado with cloud seeding.
I think there was a build up in the rodeo scene. It was the wind, and the leaves blowing and the fact that Kate was starting to realize that something was a little off.
Apparently there's a knock-off called "The Twisters" I just watched the trailer. Not sure if I'll ever watch it but it would look like an interesting one for you guys to react to! Definitely a B movie.
I don't view the original movie as though it was trying to be accurate in the science. It's as though Jan de Bont wanted to make a monster movie, but didn't want to do something quite so unrealistic... so the monster in his film is a Tornado (well, a series of Tornadoes.) Something real, something scary, something that you might ACTUALLY encounter in real life, unlike a 30ft tall mutant crushing cars and eating people... but at the same time, he wanted to be loose enough with reality to inject as much fun into the film as possible. You look at Jan de Bont's prior movie, Speed, and it absolutely stretches the bounds of reality despite faithfully adhering to it in some ways as well. The very first scene in Speed features a cop car flying 20 feet through the air and landing gracefully. It also shows a bus jumping a gap in a freeway, and numerous other clearly exaggerated instances of physics, for the sake of fun and entertainment. I see Twister through the same lens - it tethers its ridiculousness to reality juuuuust enough so you take it juuuuust seriously enough to care about what's happening. These movies were products of a time when movies could push reality over the edge without become self parodies, which is what we get today - either a movie is trying to be realistic, or it's making fun of itself and being as ridiculous as it wants to be. Speed and Twister came from an era where those lines were blurrier, and nobody questioned it - we just had fun at the theater. Nowadays, the way people treat movies like this would be akin to riding a roller coaster, then asking "What's the point of this? It just goes around in circles and doesn't take you anywhere". Twisters, though it continues to grow on me, is somewhat missing that crucial element. It feels like it's trying to dive in and swim free, but also feels like it gets scared in the open water and swims back to grab onto the ladder repeatedly. It's like it can't decide between being a reasonably realistic movie about storm chasing, which would remove a lot of the over the top action elements... and throwing back to the less realistic, but insanely fun style of Twister. Even Reed Timmer or Sean Casey's intercepts, though amazing and thrilling in their own right, aren't the grand spectacle of the tornado encounters in these films, so embellishing on real life is absolutely necessary- and the film does this pretty well at times... other times, it seems trepidatious about it. Twister is responsible for my love of the 1994 Dodge Ram. It may also be responsible for my love of hard rock/metal combined with symphony orchestra. It's ABSOLUTELY responsible for my interest in tornadoes, and I have a fondness for the specific style of cinematography that has influenced video projects I've worked in in the years since, not even realizing the connection. So Nostalgia weighs heavy on my take on these two films... and it's a bit unfair to Twisters. All of this being said, I adore that Twisters does strip away a lot of "modernities" in film making, and goes back to practical effects where possible, and a "minor stakes" plot rather than something where the entire universe is on the line or something. If I were to make Twisters into a perfect sequel, I'd do away with the land developer subplot entirely and just have Kate learn that Tyler's crew is more than meets the eye, I'd actually have the trucks get damaged so they don't seem so invincible and safe (Come on Dodge, people understand that even the best vehicles on the market will get damaged by Tornadoes - you didn't have to have an invincibility clause in your licensing agreement), and I'd have had the crew try to intercept and (fail to) kill the tornado that hits the rodeo, rather than be totally surprised by it. But... ultimately, as far as sequels go, I'd rank this alongside Tremors 2 as a totally worthy sequel that calls back to the original just enough, but finds a way to be its own thing, fun in its own right, and worthy of its own praise - not comparison.
They split in nameplate only. Just like the Dodge Viper was re-branded “SRT Viper”. It’s just a sales gimmick and both were produced by The same company and owned by Stellantis
I just saw Twisters and the original is way better. In this one there is less action scenes and the music is crap. But I liked the characters and the more real-life-looking tornadoes and its power to destroy.
I still hold onto the belief that the Tornadoes weren't destroyed, but disrupted for a set of time. There's just way to much energy in the atmosphere for it to work the way it does. But I could see it causing the Tornado to rope out for a time. But eventually that energy will generate the Tornado again lol. But Gods I loved Twisters lol. Such a great movie!

I enjoyed it more than the original
What I liked about Twisters compared to Twister is that you actually get to see the wedge tornado form in Twisters.
I cant wait until Thursday, my next day off so that I can watch both of them back to back :) lil marathon from the comfort of my bedroom and kettle corn microwave popcorn 🍿
Gotta love Tyler Owens’s ram 3500 truck that is a a dominator mark 1 type but it’s a beauty and survived the ef5 lol I was surprised
Reed Timmer commented (I think 😅) that Tyler's Dodge Ram had a type of "roll cage" on it. Prolly why it survived.
While on the subject, what is the type of dodge ram tyler drives?

Yes!
Did anyone notice that Kate was dressed like Jo during the big tornado at the hotel scene?
Oooooh good catch! How did we miss that lol
I actually liked Twisters more than the original.I’ve already seen it 3 times 😂
3 times?! Amazing 😂
I’m about to see it for the third time myself. 😂
3:28 I think in Twisters it was Dorothy 5
Oh whoops lol could’ve sworn it had IV on it. Thanks for pointing that out

I agree, why of all places did they choose El Reno for that scene.
Great video as always, thanks guys
Twister was great but TWISTERS WAS OMG!🙌🏻
When the first one was made they weren't calling them "EF" either and since then there have been some historic tornadoes that stand out that probably influenced the sequel.
I loved the callback to Helen Hunt with the new girl in here wearing Jo's coveralls & white tank top combo in parts.
ive seen the cone of silence in real life i dont wanna see it ever again
can you watch storm cell or devil winds
Already reacted to Storm Cell! :)
what about devil winds
A couple of things. Twisters has Dorothy V (Not Dorothy IV that got sucked up into the tornado in Twister). However, in Twister they stated they made 4 of them, so it's still something that shouldn't have existed unless Jo & Bill had made another one for another attempt after the end of Twister.

Bill’s truck is a 1994 dodge ram 2500 in the original twister movie
I truly believe they should have casted Reed Timmer and used some of his crazy footage and actually tornado Chase IRL... a movie like that would have been amazing....
I haven't seen the movie yet. Do they say what happened to Bill & Jos' character's?
Nope they don’t
@@MeteoTechWx Thanks for the reply. 🙂🌪

We just heard about it this past weekend. We will definitely check it out. Thanks for the suggestion! 😃
@@MeteoTechWx you're welcome!
It was Dorothy 5 in the new movie, not Dorothy 4. You can see it in the trailers as well.
Oh whoops lol could’ve sworn it had IV on it. Thanks for pointing that out
It wasn't Dorothy 4, it was Dorothy 5.
Dorothy V

It was a Dodge Ram in the first movie, but Ram split from Dodge in 2009 so it’s technically just a Ram in Twisters
Ahh okay they did split. Truck brand technicalities 😂 thanks!
They split in nameplate only. Just like the Dodge Viper was re-branded “SRT Viper”. It’s just a sales gimmick and both were produced by The same company and owned by Stellantis

Helen Hunt should've directed Twisters. I'm going to watch Alethea in protest
Oh the CGI is better than almost 30 years ago lmfao shocking.
