Fun fact, this was actually the first cinematic feature film to come out on DVD and one of the last to be released on the HD-DVD format that briefly competed with Blu-Ray.
@@harold5337 ugh! No wonder DVDs were short-lived...okay obviously it's because quality wasn't as good, but let's face it, both the UK and the US started out with some pretty lame films in the new format. I am specifically referring to Batman and Robin and Twister; I haven't seen Mars Attacks! yet, and I usually hear both good and bad things about it. I still plan on seeing it.
11:42 Tornadoes are sometimes reported as making sounds similar to a lion growling. The filmmakers probably wanted to include it somewhere, even if it sounds a little silly.
@@superomegamkiii2313 .....no.....its not, if that happened in a movie today, it would be laughed at, I'm kinda tired of people saying back then movies where so much h better and not actually finding good movies today because there are.
Aww you didn't mention my favorite line from the movie. When they run into a barn for safety and come across all these sharp tools she says, "Omg who are these people?" with a look of horror on her face.
I don't think they said it in your millennial terms.. I think they said "what kind of people live here!?" Not, "LULZ OMG LYK, WHO TF LIVES HERE XD XD XD"
Some of the crazy-sounding stuff in this movie is plausible. A storm system can produce dozens of tornadoes in a short period of time. Tornadoes can dissipate quickly and sometimes reform later on. And tornadoes do seem to "skip over" certain buildings or areas, yet destroy others nearby.
Plus they probably could pick up a full grown cow and best case scenario, you would just have an unhappy cow. If you milk her, the milkshakes would be smooth and frothy.
Even some predictions of what will happen in a storm based off observation are possible to a point. Maybe not to the degree in the film but if you see rotation in the storm you can guess that it's potentially tornadic in nature
Agreed. One type of tornado most people don't usually think about are crop dusters. Mini tornadoes. Where I currently live it's not the country but I'll see a couple on occasion in one day.
I mean, within the first 10 minutes of the movie, the weather center folks are saying it looks like there will be an outbreak. In 2011, 100+ tornadoes touched down across 4 states in the south within a 48 hour period.
i remember when the tornadoes hit alabama (where i live) in april 2011, my friend sent me a picture of a disk he found in his basement. he wanted to know what it was, and apparently all he had to do was flip it over-- a copy of Twister. he then sent a text saying "that's not funny, god."

I've lived in the region my whole life, yeah there are some seasons with that many tornadoes. We even have tourists who take buses around to see the tornados.
Ahh, I get it now. Bill Paxton was sucked up by a tornado, crossed dimensions, and floated back down Mary Poppins style as The Dinkster in Spy Kids 3D. It all makes sense now.
He also went back to the 60s and stole Adam West Batman's Tornado Repellent Spray. That's why the tornadoes ALWAYS suddenly disappear just as they pass over him.
+Sanicjack I always felt for that cow what is she thinking what were her cow dreams? Another thing though I always wondered how the truck is not showing any signs of obvious high wind speeds high enough to lift a full grown Holstein average wieght 1500lbs and throw her around like Hulk throwing Loki around but cannot lift a unsecured mostly aluminum device out of the bed of said truck?
Depends on the debris and how close and powerful they are if I remember right. Some can sound like a jet, maybe a freight-train, and even a waterfall. We also get them up here in PA, not TOO often, but I've come close to two that were WAY too close to home. First one sounded like a flooded river grinding rocks (If you ever hear a mill-grinding stone it was kind of like that) and the other was loud and sounded like a train. Both missed by a hair each time, the second one however was a night tornado and it dropped SO close that if it had hit where we lived you would have NO time for shelter (We lived in a trailerpark then and as many know... Those don't have basements usually).

For 37 years, the most extensive tornado outbreak on record, in almost every category, was the 1974 Super Outbreak, which affected a large area of the central United States and extreme southern Ontario in Canada on April 3 and April 4, 1974. Not only did this outbreak feature 148 tornadoes in only 18 hours, but an unprecedented number of them were violent; 7 were of F5 intensity and 23 were F4. During the peak of this outbreak there were 16 tornadoes on the ground at the same time. More than 300 people, possibly as many as 330, were killed by tornadoes during this outbreak. However, this record was later broken during the 2011 Super Outbreak, which resulted in 360 tornadoes and 324 tornadic fatalities. THAT`S how many tornadoes..
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day" A lot. When I was 6, living in Illinois, we heard the siren go off no less than 8 times in the span of 3 hours. They keep coming until the weather changes to become unsuitable for them.
12:00 As someone who grew up in tornado country and lived through two before we moved, they actually make that noise and it is motherfucking terrifying.
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.
The scene where they all freeze in horror at the very mention of an F5 tornado is so melodramatic, it's downright comical. They're a bunch of meteorologists, but the superstitious fear of a natural phenomenon makes them look more like weather-watching druids than bloody scientists. I mean, where did they think the conversation was going to go, anyway?
+Logan Mainord Them freezing makes it look like they are incompetent. It's like a herpetologist freezing when confronted by an Inland Taipan. Them freaking out in the field means that they should keep to office work.
Mad Hatter u probably have never even been around a f5 Tornado let alone a tornado at all u never have... I have! I was a little kid I live in south eastern Oklahoma Around tulsa a f5 tornado happened like 5 miles away I really don’t remember how close it was but it was close we were building the second story of my house the tornado blew of the tarps off and blew out the back windows off our house and stayed alive some how I was like 5 when this happened
What made that scene feel like they were superstitious about the F5? F5s are the most dangerous and it's clear the way they acted was because Jo lost her father to an F5.
I first saw this movie in 2000 when I was five. In Jr. high, me and my friends used the "red meat, we crave sustenance" line to tip off our teacher that it was lunch time. Even hearing him bash some of my favorite moments doesn't ruin the nostalgia I feel when I see these movie clips. Sure it had its flaws, but Twister holds a special place in my heart as the movie that inspired me to destroy countless red hot wheel pickups. also, 17:30 - tell that to Oklahoma and Kansas right about now.
This is one of the only times where I have to say, "I love this movie! And the Critic giving it a bad review won't change a thing!" But the review was funny as hell, and even I can see the problems in the movie, but no matter, still one of my favorites. Anyone else agree?
Same! This movie was a huge part of my childhood. I know it's not the best but like, it's one of those feel good / background noise movies you always go to.
Bit of info. Year late but when Bill Paxton died, two hundred Storm chasers spelled out his initials using their GPS over the entire area where the movie was shot. These were people who chose their careers because of the movie.
As a kid I lived in Oklahoma and experienced an F5 tornado. Those damn things are terrifying. Ever since then I get super paranoid about the weather when it storms. The news said that the only safe place was underground. I cant remember the year, but everyone referred to it as the May 3rd tornado. This movie always bothered me because of how bullshit it is.
You know what? That tornado was almost classified as a F6 Tornado because of the wind speeds some people chasing the tornado with weather instruments recorded wind speeds just above the F5 wind speeds. That tornado was a monster. Congrats on surviving the tornado.
“Is there an F-5?” “JESUS CHRIST, WOMAN, DO YOU WANT TO SUMMON IT?!” “THE F-5 IS THE LORD VOLDEMORT OF TWISTERS!” *Imperial March* “Buy Twister, the game that ties you up in knots!”
I remember this episode. It was one of the first episodes I ever watched, because I was home sick from school and super bored. I just put on a playlist of Nostalgia Critic episodes, and this was the first one.
The actual smart thing to do in case of a tornado is indeed to hide in a basement or get low on the ground. Funnily enough, even when the wind speed in the tornade is tremendous there is basically no wind on the ground level. Hiding under a bridge is probably the WORST possible thing to do, not to mention strapping yourself to some pipes...
Heh, the divorced/estranged couple who is still in love with each other is one of the most popular Hollywood cliché ever. It gives the characters some personal traits/background and it saves time from having to establish a beliavable new romance/love connection, which is especially important when the movie isn´t primary a romance. It´s just unfortunate Michael Crichton (yes, THAT Michael Crichton) also needed an outsider who he can use as viewers inside into all the technobabble and exposition and he choose to have the new fianceé came along. It had saved some time and made the story more streamlined, but it also made Bill look like a complet douch.
I loved this movie as a kid and still do. Is it improbable? Yes. Is the story great? No. Is Bill Paxton in the role of a lifetime? Of course not. But I still have fun watching because ultimately, it's nearly impossible to make an interesting story around storm chasers, so they did the best they could. At least they gave us great special effects.
27 tornadoes touched down on May 17th, 2000. 21 dropped 11 days later. So it can easily have this many tornadoes in a single day. And actually that IS how tornadoes leave.....just as fast as they show up.
Poor Bill Paxton. Just a year prior to this he was in Apollo 13 and he was great. And after Twister, he couldn't get a decent role for years. Thank God Edge of Tomorrow reinvigorated his career.

I probably watched this movie just as many times as the Lion King when I was growing up, if not more. So my opinion is pretty skewed, but I can still acknowledge the movies glaring flaws, but I still love the movie.
This is one of my mom's favorite movies. I grew up with it and it's on every other week. Not only am I tired of seeing this movie, but as I grow up I find it stupid. I have learned that my estranged father also made fun of this movie and probably still does, and i have spiritually kept the tradition of laughing at this movie whenever it is on. Whenever it pops up I have to leave because I don't want to hurt her feelings. Now I get to watch a video where someone destroys it and smile with glee, hoping my mother will walk in on this just for the laughs.
Fun fact: Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton hated each other after filming this movie that they refused to record the videos for the Twister attraction in Universal Florida.
I saw this as a kid so naturally it scares the ever-living shit out of me. I live in Oregon so the odds are pretty much in my favor. As a kid it made me realize that I could lose my dad and it sent me into hysterics. Now at 29 whenever there's a strong wind I'll shake my hand to the air and yell "You're not taking my dad today, wind!!!" I watch this movie as a guilty pleasure now.
"You know, tornados are a lot less menacing when you name them after keys on your keyboard." That isn't the movie's fault, that's genuinely how tornados are measured.
3:51 This joke actually really pisses me off. Yeah cuz I’m sure Hoffman’s performances in Mission Impossible 3, Doubt, Capote, A Most Wanted Man, Almost Famous, Punch Drunk Love, The Master, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead and The Hunger Games are all exactly like his role in Twister. 🙄
This review is final form original Doug Walker as Nostalgia Critic, before the advertisement breaks and the overindulgence in crossover reviews, etc, etc, everyone who is a fan has commented on how the show changed. Very tight, the jokes are excellent, Doug's performance is top-notch, the effects were good, even the length of the episode is perfect.
And Steve Burns & Joshua Dela Cruz(Blue's Clues), Drake Bell, Josh Peck, & Amanda Bynes(The Amanda Show & Drake & Josh), Jerry Seinfeld(Seinfeld), And Mr. Fred Rogers(Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood) all play characters that use their names.
I think he meant that Melissa wasn't near enough to the radio to hear what they were saying. Which is accurate, given that they were standing around in the middle of a storm and hearing a conversation clear as crystal.
In fact Limestone County, Alabama got two in one day during the '74 tornado outbreak. Lawson's trailer park was hammered by a pair of F5's within just a few hours. First responders who were digging out survivors from the first tornado had to take cover in a ditch as the second one went through. They came to be called Tanner 1 and Tanner 2. Remember. Truth is always stranger than fiction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Super_Outbreak
I'd just like to point out something that no one ever brings up. The Dive In scene starts and we see Danny on his big wheel driving around the hallway and then finding the twins for the first time. We cut back to the movies main characters bullshitting and what not, the tornado shows up and then BOOM the movie is at the "Here's Johnny scene" WTF how did those two hours of The Shinning go by! What the hell! But whatever it's just a nit pick.
Dad took us to see it in theaters right before a Griswold-esque road trip to Minnesota. Of course, we spend the summer around relatives, and what happens? Tornado warnings! My sisters were scared out of their minds.
This movie will always hold a special place in my heart. I was completely obsessed with tornadoes for a few years, and I watched this movie at least once a week for the longest time. Is it cheesy? Absolutely. But. it'll always give me that warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling. That said, I can't watch it anymore without hearing the Imperial March every time Jonas shows up!
Could you review the television film, “Night of the Twisters?” It was released on The Family Channel, currently known as Freeform, on February of the same year, 3 months before the actual, “Twister,” was released.
Fun Fact: This and Mars Attacks were the very first movies to be released on DVD. Another Fun Fact: Ironically, it was also the very last movie ever to be released on HD-DVD.
Because at the end of the day, you can't force people to leave. When hurricanes are approaching, the authorities can go door to door in neighborhoods recommending everyone evacuate but at the end of the day, people still refuse to leave.
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day" Well the record for a single day FROM A SINGLE STORM is 63. The record for most in a few days is over 500 in under 4 days. So a lot. The answer is a lot
Honestly throughout the entire movie I just felt bad for Melissa, she’s a perfectly nice woman, has a good job, seems supportive of Bill and throughout the movie she just gets treated like shit, Bill abandons her at every opportunity to go hang out with his ex, she’s saddled with being around characters like Dusty who constantly make her feel uncomfortable and she’s thrown head first into these moments of extreme terror that scare the hell out of her and I just felt so bad for her, in fact when she said “You people are crazy” that’s exactly what I was thinking, she’s totally me in this type of situation because I would not wanna be around these types of people at all
i love this movie. the NC's added sound affects just made it funnier. i'm surprised he didn't mention the story they told about bill at aunt megg's house.
"And surviving what no other person in the history of man has survived" Um, there actually is a man who survived seeing the center of a tornado. I can't remember his name, but I remember watching a video about tornados talking about it in middle school.
20:59 "Ozzy Osbourne!" "OowossallthisIheerabowthetornadoeughna-hey!" Not only is that my favorite bit from this review, it's one of my Top 11 Nostalgia Critic bits of all time. Never fails to make me laugh.
this was still pretty fun seeing it in theaters. it's like most disaster flix. much better on the giant screen. especially the sound that those tornadoes made. the only movie as load was the opening of Saving Private Ryan.
17:34 There can be a lot of tornadoes in one day. Just move to Tornado alley. I still remember the day when the skies were green all evening and tornadoes covered the county. I'm willing to bet there were at least a dozen spotted and probably about six touched down around the area. We never got hit, but it was sure interesting to watch from our front porch.
Jack Nicholson can play characters named Jack, and no one bats an eye. But Bill Paxton plays one character named Bill, and everyone loses their minds!
That's what happens when you deviate from the plan..
Jack Nicholson had a few good performances, but by and large his career was seriously overhyped to me.
Mason Dahr Bill must be...corrected
You wanna know how bill got his career
Interesting fact: almost everyone in Aliens had the same first name as the actor portraying them; including Bill Paxton

Sure it had its flaws, but Twister holds a special place in my heart as the movie that inspired me to destroy countless red hot wheel pickups. also, 17:30 - tell that to Oklahoma and Kansas right about now.
Some things are just so stupid you have to love them!
This is one of the only times where I have to say, "I love this movie! And the Critic giving it a bad review won't change a thing!" But the review was funny as hell, and even I can see the problems in the movie, but no matter, still one of my favorites. Anyone else agree?
I agree!
It seems you can say you were glad 9/11 happened and people will say "I agree"
I guess you hate the movie. But who do I care.
You must hate this movie a lot, because these people do know that the movie has faults.
Same! This movie was a huge part of my childhood. I know it's not the best but like, it's one of those feel good / background noise movies you always go to.
Wow, RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman and now Bill Paxton. This is kind of a depressing episode now ugh.
It's life....so what
Bit of info. Year late but when Bill Paxton died, two hundred Storm chasers spelled out his initials using their GPS over the entire area where the movie was shot. These were people who chose their careers because of the movie.
tenjek thanks for the info, this is really cool!
@@tenjenk So this movie is to blame for stupid people dying chasing tornadoes
@@leob4403 trying to be edgy are we?
As a kid I lived in Oklahoma and experienced an F5 tornado. Those damn things are terrifying. Ever since then I get super paranoid about the weather when it storms. The news said that the only safe place was underground.
I cant remember the year, but everyone referred to it as the May 3rd tornado.
This movie always bothered me because of how bullshit it is.
James Hallock It was in 1999.
You know what? That tornado was almost classified as a F6 Tornado because of the wind speeds some people chasing the tornado with weather instruments recorded wind speeds just above the F5 wind speeds. That tornado was a monster. Congrats on surviving the tornado.
briansivley2001 unfortunatly james hallock died just an hour after writing that comment by an F1 tornado.
James Hallock
and of course the news lies, the safe place is "anywhere but Oklahoma"
briansivley2001 You forgot to say tornado
“Is there an F-5?”
“JESUS CHRIST, WOMAN, DO YOU WANT TO SUMMON IT?!”
“THE F-5 IS THE LORD VOLDEMORT OF TWISTERS!”
*Imperial March* “Buy Twister, the game that ties you up in knots!”
I remember this episode. It was one of the first episodes I ever watched, because I was home sick from school and super bored. I just put on a playlist of Nostalgia Critic episodes, and this was the first one.
21:37 "HORSE!!!" just the look of utter WTF on his face and the way he says it is priceless!
The actual smart thing to do in case of a tornado is indeed to hide in a basement or get low on the ground. Funnily enough, even when the wind speed in the tornade is tremendous there is basically no wind on the ground level.
Hiding under a bridge is probably the WORST possible thing to do, not to mention strapping yourself to some pipes...
Serious Spike Sam I don’t know. Tornados Apparently circle back and go after the survivors. I learnt that from the Simpsons.
“It’d be like the finger of God.”
“The middle finger, maybe.”
😂 😂 😂 😂
Usually that's the one they use.
Rest in peace Bill Paxton, you gave us so many awesome memories.
Oh damn he died??? Like, FR FR??!!!
Unfortunately, yes. He died back in 2017 after having complications after open heart surgery.

Heh, the divorced/estranged couple who is still in love with each other is one of the most popular Hollywood cliché ever. It gives the characters some personal traits/background and it saves time from having to establish a beliavable new romance/love connection, which is especially important when the movie isn´t primary a romance. It´s just unfortunate Michael Crichton (yes, THAT Michael Crichton) also needed an outsider who he can use as viewers inside into all the technobabble and exposition and he choose to have the new fianceé came along. It had saved some time and made the story more streamlined, but it also made Bill look like a complet douch.
I bet Jonas is related to Dinklberg
And Lucas. *Chicka Chicka*

That reminds me, has he ever reviewed Mission To Mars?
I loved this movie as a kid and still do. Is it improbable? Yes. Is the story great? No. Is Bill Paxton in the role of a lifetime? Of course not. But I still have fun watching because ultimately, it's nearly impossible to make an interesting story around storm chasers, so they did the best they could. At least they gave us great special effects.
Mason Henderson But does anyone think it's better than any other disaster movie, nowadays?!
Uhm...actually it's possible to be done o.o, I mean the good movie about storm chasers o.o
27 tornadoes touched down on May 17th, 2000.
21 dropped 11 days later.
So it can easily have this many tornadoes in a single day. And actually that IS how tornadoes leave.....just as fast as they show up.
Poor Bill Paxton. Just a year prior to this he was in Apollo 13 and he was great. And after Twister, he couldn't get a decent role for years. Thank God Edge of Tomorrow reinvigorated his career.
='[ game over man, game over...
D Vass Apollo 13 was some good shit
D Vass he had a minor role in titanic
after twister he did titanic
Big Love reinvigorated his career more than anything

I probably watched this movie just as many times as the Lion King when I was growing up, if not more. So my opinion is pretty skewed, but I can still acknowledge the movies glaring flaws, but I still love the movie.
I actually like this movie, especially Dusty's chasing soundtrack lol

Twister: *labeled as a failure by Jan DeBont*
Speed 2: Cruise Control: Am I a joke to you?
This is one of my mom's favorite movies. I grew up with it and it's on every other week. Not only am I tired of seeing this movie, but as I grow up I find it stupid. I have learned that my estranged father also made fun of this movie and probably still does, and i have spiritually kept the tradition of laughing at this movie whenever it is on. Whenever it pops up I have to leave because I don't want to hurt her feelings.
Now I get to watch a video where someone destroys it and smile with glee, hoping my mother will walk in on this just for the laughs.
RC15O5 this is actually kinda sweet
Fun fact: Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton hated each other after filming this movie that they refused to record the videos for the Twister attraction in Universal Florida.
Wonder why’s that?
@@jamesvanitas Don't know. That's all I read.
But....they did.
@@blind_surgeon They we're filmed separately, darling.
Omg fr?
“I’ll get you next time Paxton”. That was the best line of twister related commentary I’ve ever heard.
I saw this as a kid so naturally it scares the ever-living shit out of me. I live in Oregon so the odds are pretty much in my favor. As a kid it made me realize that I could lose my dad and it sent me into hysterics. Now at 29 whenever there's a strong wind I'll shake my hand to the air and yell "You're not taking my dad today, wind!!!" I watch this movie as a guilty pleasure now.
this deserves a gold medal for best performance of the office tornado!
"Jan de Bont's epic failure, Twister." _coughs in 495 million dollars_
That tornado in the climax seems familiar...oh my god! It's the tornado that killed her father!

"How many tornados can there be in one day!" *googles* Well in 2011 there was a record of 218 in a single 24 hour period with 11 F4 and F5 tornados
Tseng Akera It was a really wild day!
6:49: Leonard:"Oh no!"
Penny:"What is that?"
Leonard:"That is Sheldon's"I'm unhappy and about to destroy the planet music"."
"You know, tornados are a lot less menacing when you name them after keys on your keyboard." That isn't the movie's fault, that's genuinely how tornados are measured.
Am I the only one that after the imperial March played kept rewinding it because it sounded so cool?
3:51 This joke actually really pisses me off.
Yeah cuz I’m sure Hoffman’s performances in Mission Impossible 3, Doubt, Capote, A Most Wanted Man, Almost Famous, Punch Drunk Love, The Master, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead and The Hunger Games are all exactly like his role in Twister. 🙄
This review is final form original Doug Walker as Nostalgia Critic, before the advertisement breaks and the overindulgence in crossover reviews, etc, etc, everyone who is a fan has commented on how the show changed. Very tight, the jokes are excellent, Doug's performance is top-notch, the effects were good, even the length of the episode is perfect.
Luckily some of his newer stuff is "somewhat" watchable thanks to SponsorBlock. If you don't have it, get it.
"Bill Paxston playing a character named Bill."
Just like Jack Nicholson playing a character named Jack.
And Steve Burns & Joshua Dela Cruz(Blue's Clues),
Drake Bell, Josh Peck, & Amanda Bynes(The Amanda Show & Drake & Josh),
Jerry Seinfeld(Seinfeld),
And Mr. Fred Rogers(Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood) all play characters that use their names.
the headset around Jo's neck was live that's how Melissa heard the conversation. the mic pack is on her hip.
I think he meant that Melissa wasn't near enough to the radio to hear what they were saying. Which is accurate, given that they were standing around in the middle of a storm and hearing a conversation clear as crystal.
JONAS!!! Also the most tornadoes in one single day was recorded as 218.
In fact Limestone County, Alabama got two in one day during the '74 tornado outbreak.
Lawson's trailer park was hammered by a pair of F5's within just a few hours. First responders who were digging out survivors from the first tornado had to take cover in a ditch as the second one went through.
They came to be called Tanner 1 and Tanner 2.
Remember. Truth is always stranger than fiction.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Super_Outbreak
I'd just like to point out something that no one ever brings up. The Dive In scene starts and we see Danny on his big wheel driving around the hallway and then finding the twins for the first time. We cut back to the movies main characters bullshitting and what not, the tornado shows up and then BOOM the movie is at the "Here's Johnny scene" WTF how did those two hours of The Shinning go by! What the hell! But whatever it's just a nit pick.
I loved this movie growing up, and I still do. But everyone has their own opinion I guess
You know, nostalgia critic is special at mock the movie. Bad or not. :)
ReMiXNeoNZz But the question is....does this movie even hold up to this day as a modern-day summer flick, or not?!
Xaviergray87 maybe, I just watch it on rainy nights by myself
ReMiXNeoNZz Whatever.
How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!
In an alternate universe:
"Is this hell!?
No, it's Oklahoma."
I remember seeing the movie Twister as a kid. It scared the shit out of me and gave me a fear of tornadoes. I do not regret the fear of tornadoes.
It made me want to chase 'em.
Same, man…..
That's a smart fear to have.
Same! They were my greatest fear throughout my preteen years...I would have nightmares about them every other night or so.
Dad took us to see it in theaters right before a Griswold-esque road trip to Minnesota. Of course, we spend the summer around relatives, and what happens? Tornado warnings!
My sisters were scared out of their minds.
This movie will always hold a special place in my heart. I was completely obsessed with tornadoes for a few years, and I watched this movie at least once a week for the longest time. Is it cheesy? Absolutely. But. it'll always give me that warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling. That said, I can't watch it anymore without hearing the Imperial March every time Jonas shows up!
Could you review the television film, “Night of the Twisters?” It was released on The Family Channel, currently known as Freeform, on February of the same year, 3 months before the actual, “Twister,” was released.
17:32 I lived in OKC and in Norman, OK and you can get 3 or 4 small ones and 1 or 2 big ones if the weather is bad like in Moore, OK back in 5/20/2013
The waterspouts tossing the cow around makes me laugh every time.
Fun Fact: This and Mars Attacks were the very first movies to be released on DVD.
Another Fun Fact: Ironically, it was also the very last movie ever to be released on HD-DVD.
one thing that bothered me in this entire movie... if all these tornadoes are happening in 1 town, why are authorities not evacuating people?
Klavair89 yea I as thinking about that
Its not one town. Its across an entire state.
That not how movies work jeez ;)
Because at the end of the day, you can't force people to leave. When hurricanes are approaching, the authorities can go door to door in neighborhoods recommending everyone evacuate but at the end of the day, people still refuse to leave.
Because, as the movie shows, tornadoes will chase these people anywhere.
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day"
Well the record for a single day FROM A SINGLE STORM is 63. The record for most in a few days is over 500 in under 4 days. So a lot. The answer is a lot
Yes this movie has flaws but this is literally one of my favorite movies of all time.
This tornado movie feels like a shark movie. But that would just be absurd
It’s very good. A lot of these critiques are incorrect. NC doesn’t seem to know a lot about tornadoes.
Honestly throughout the entire movie I just felt bad for Melissa, she’s a perfectly nice woman, has a good job, seems supportive of Bill and throughout the movie she just gets treated like shit, Bill abandons her at every opportunity to go hang out with his ex, she’s saddled with being around characters like Dusty who constantly make her feel uncomfortable and she’s thrown head first into these moments of extreme terror that scare the hell out of her and I just felt so bad for her, in fact when she said “You people are crazy” that’s exactly what I was thinking, she’s totally me in this type of situation because I would not wanna be around these types of people at all
Helen Hunt is so hot in this movie.
I agree. I dont normally find her hot, but in this *wolf whistle
Something about the leather jacket and big hair
i love this movie. the NC's added sound affects just made it funnier. i'm surprised he didn't mention the story they told about bill at aunt megg's house.
21:13 HORSE!!!!
My favorite part 😂
"this simply doesn't happen."
Yes it does.
April 27 2011 saw 360 tornadoes in a 24 hour period. So yes. Yes it does.
This is the Frist reaview that made me realise dougs an idiot
Well this review is pre-2011 to be fair. But there was also the 1974 Super Outbreak
"And surviving what no other person in the history of man has survived"
Um, there actually is a man who survived seeing the center of a tornado.
I can't remember his name, but I remember watching a video about tornados talking about it in middle school.
20:59 "Ozzy Osbourne!"
"OowossallthisIheerabowthetornadoeughna-hey!"
Not only is that my favorite bit from this review, it's one of my Top 11 Nostalgia Critic bits of all time. Never fails to make me laugh.
"Nonono, not THAT kind of disaster movie." 😂😂😂😂
17:32 _"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?"_
I'm guessing the Critic's not from Florida.
He probably didn't know of tornado outbreaks, either.
this was still pretty fun seeing it in theaters. it's like most disaster flix. much better on the giant screen. especially the sound
that those tornadoes made. the only movie as load was the opening of Saving Private Ryan.
I'm here to pay respect to Bill Paxton, who recently died. My favorite film of his was Apollo 13. RIP Bill.
17:13 Tornado plus shark movie music. Hmmm... 🤔
17:34 There can be a lot of tornadoes in one day. Just move to Tornado alley. I still remember the day when the skies were green all evening and tornadoes covered the county. I'm willing to bet there were at least a dozen spotted and probably about six touched down around the area. We never got hit, but it was sure interesting to watch from our front porch.
