They're right there with Robin WIlliams in terms of people I have to remind myself aren't with us anymore because "Of course they can't die!". And it bums me out everytime. The world is just a lesser place without them here.
Melissa can't handle tornados, but she can handle vampires. Which is an entirely different suck zone.😁
I don't see many people putting that connection together 😂
I had to look Jami Gertz up off of this film's page to remind myself that she was in Lost Boys...damn, I'm losing it!
@henryvandeventer2457 actually we never seen her being bit or drinking the blood!
@@bjgandalf69 Don't forget Seinfeld.
Not to mention she's a billionaire
The cow landed at Aunt May's, that's how she got all that beef lol
LOL, plot twist(er)! 😁
It's aunt Meg @kiwiNZo7 Not may check again
@@thebulldogshowgaming Hi. I know it's Meg; wasn't me who said May, check again. 🙂
I grew up in Lawton, Oklahoma. The one thing this film actually gets right is that it can go from a clear, sunny day with blue skies to almost pitch black and chaotic within just a few minutes. Tornadoes sound like freight trains, and when you're sitting in a storm shelter waiting for the storm to pass, those minutes you spend worrying if your house will still be there are very tense.
Yeah, I used to live in Springfield, MO and I remember when the sky would turn green too.
This and Dante's Peak are my two favorite 'natural disaster ' movies.
30+ year storm chaser here; terrain doesn't stop tornadoes; have seen damage paths climb a 3K ft hill, drop to the valley floor on the other side, and back up the next hill.
Have seen multiple EF4's and two EF5 tornadoes. Depending on where you're at, they sound differently - from the sides, they can sound like waterfalls, they can have a hail roar just in front of it with softball and baseball sized stones. Others can have such a low frequency infrasound that you feel it in the ground and in your lungs more than your ears.
Thank you. I heard her say that, and immediately came here to make sure somebody told them.
Mountains will
exactly, why would something from the sky be affected by something on the ground? lol
@@sc1338 2023 Pikes Peak Tornado says no to that.
The fact that you watched this and the Twisters trailer released yesterday is impeccable.
23:06 Hell yeah, that song is Humans Being by Van Halen! RIP Eddie
After the credits, there is a song from Eddy and Alex Van Halen name " Respect The Wind." Awesome Song!!!
Between the truck and the song my son made me take him to see this 3 times within 2 days!!
@@jasonzimmerman4103 That one never gets old.
Still have my VHS in a display case along with an original DVD. Twister never gets old. Now a sequel... "it's already here." I could watch this classic anytime & not get bored being a trained storm chaser for the National Weather service in Texas.
Rip Bill Paxton, Philip Seymour, & music artist Van Halen.
Over 25 years old and I remember my dad had it on VHS and watching it with him all the time. Such good times
Great Father, great movie. I remember watching it for the first time with my uncle on an old ass TV with a VCR, wow. I feel OLD AF right now.
Were you kind by rewinding the video cassette? Kids these days will never know the shear terror of the VHS rental getting eaten by the VHS player
Fun fact: first movie to be released on DVD.
Same here.
Some tornado facts:
The Teton-Yellowstone tornado, rated F4, is the strongest tornado to occur in Wyoming, and it crossed the continental divide. Ic happened on July 21, 1987.
The weirdest (and maybe most localized) tornado outbreak occurred on June 3, 1980, when 7 tornadoes touched down in the city of Grand Island, Nebraska, out of the same storm in around 3 hours.
An unusual electrical event accompanied the tornado that struck Blackwell, Oklahoma May 25, 1955. Many people reported the funnel glowing an electrical shade of blue, and was accompanied by intense lightning activity. Several weather offices in the area also noted the storm of unusual electrical intensity. It is unknown what caused the blue glow, and it has not been observed in a tornado since then to my knowledge. The glow of the tornado is credited with warning many citizens of Blackwell of the oncoming storm. The same tornado, or a different tornado of the same intensity born from the same storm, later struck the community of Udall, Kansas.
Keeping in mind what year this movie was made.. The ACCURACY with which they predicted what the actual inside of a tornado looks like still astounds me.. Few years ago, storm chasers managed to put a camera into a tornado and the view from inside is so strikingly close it's scary...
My thoughts:
As someone that grew up and still lives in Oklahoma this movie is amazing. This is still one of the scariest films i’ve seen. 2 scenes in particular still scare me the most:
1. The opening scene because that kind of stuff actually happens to people today even with advanced warning.
2. The drive-in scene because night tornadoes are probably the scariest kind of tornado you would encounter.
Fun Facts about Tornadoes:
1. 18 wheelers and animals do get thrown around like toys
2. Tornado winds do in fact sound like freight trains or jets depending on who you ask
3. You can in fact hear the tornado “roar” if you listen hard enough
4. To correct @MrsMovies, tornadoes can form on hills they do not protect you fully from tornadoes (yes parts of Oklahoma have hills)
5. Most tornadoes are very “weak” and don’t last for very long
6. Oklahoma holds the record for the fastest tornado wind speed ever recorded (302 mph)
7. Oklahoma holds the record for the widest tornado ever seen (2.6 miles wide)
Fun Facts about Twister (1996):
1. In Wakita, Oklahoma (a tiny town in far Northern Oklahoma) there is a museum with memorabilia from this movie since part of the movie was filmed. I think @MrsMovies would enjoy the museum since this one of her favorite films
2. In the opening scene when the TV pops on that is Gary England an actual meteorologist that worked in the Oklahoma City area for over 40 years and got to be part of the production of the film.
3. Another meteorologist was also on screen a couple of times that worked in the Oklahoma City area for over 20 years. His name is Rick Mitchell and he nows works in the DFW Metroplex currently.
4. The drive-in scene (not the parts in Melissa’s hotel room) were actually filmed at a real drive-in theater in Guthrie, Oklahoma
Lastly, i want to thank @YouMeTheMovies for a great reaction you guys are on point. Mrs. Movies still has great reactions even when she knows what happens.
And yes Mrs. Movies i love this movie almost as much as you do!
I remember watching this in theaters because the roof was leaky and it dripped on a woman around the time when the outdoor theater gets destroyed. Her scream scared a lot of people in the theater. But it did make them fix the roof!
Haha 😂😂😂
We had a e f 4 come through my city in Georgia last week. Scary
The cow lived but gave curdled milk the rest of it's life.
The cow survived, but had PTSD (Post Tornado Stress Disorder) and gave sour milk after that. The movie also had a great Shania Twain video..
I had such an absolutely incredible crush on Helen Hunt because of this movie ;D Her face, her voice, her mannerisms. Goodness gracious.
Loved this movie growing up. It wasn't until about a year ago that I realized that the actress that plays Melissa is the same actress that played Star in the Lost Boys.
Shut the front door. I had to look that up. Wow. That's wild
2:22 not to give you nightmares, but the idea that tornadoes don’t like hills is a myth. I had to take a physics of the weather course in engineering school (basically, at the molecular level what’s happening in our atmosphere) and my professor was a visiting prof on a grant to study southern tornadoes. He told us that there is no correlation between geography and tornadoes. During the super outbreak in 2011, while we were watching about the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado, I saw James Spann warning the town of Pleasant Grove (mom had a cousin living there). I told her she might want to try calling but dad said no way that tornado would cross Red Mountain. I pointed out that it wasn’t running on the ground but coming down from the clouds and wouldn’t care about the mountain. Sadly, I was proved right. Thankfully mom’s cousin was in Hueytown with her mother and it turned out her house was miraculously spared (you could see the paths of the multiple vortices, and they danced right around her house.
"its just a hurricane"
Waterspout-"Am i a joke to you?"
The Dustman is a great character, he was the first one to try to comfort Melissa after the truck lands in front of her.
The suck zone banter had me cracking up, nice reaction.
A vampire's worst nightmare. That was brilliant 👏👏😂😂😂
I rememebr when this movie came out. I was ten years old and my mom and I had literally just moved to Tulsa the summer Twister released. It was such a huge hit here and despite the actual threat of tornadoes here, I loved the movie.
Love you RAW IS WAR shirt! WWF Attitude!
Saw this movie twice in the theater. I still have the VHS tape of this movie.
RIP Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
I credit this movie for teaching me how to set up my first 5.1 surround sound system.
And I was a complete Helen Hunt fanboy around the time this movie came out, so ..
Yeah, from this year, movies really started to get that awesome surround sound, the movie theaters really turned into a real movie experience!
Yeah, my mad used this film to test out his Surround setup. He used to build his own subwoofer cabinets.
I was a Helen Hunt fanboy too. I love this movie.
it sucks she is not going to be in the sequel
Once again, Mrs. Movies has great taste. This is one of the best "Disaster" Movies ever, with great writing and an absolutely stacked cast (some cast members being more "stacked" than others...lookin' at you, Jami Gertz). 😍
watching this as a 5 year old made me afraid of tornadoes for years.
Not to mention I live where tornadoes are about as common as a blue moon.
Actually, during the Joplin tornado, a store manager was lost while trying to protect people that were with him in the store as he was trying to keep a door closed, similar to her father.
Saw it in the movie theater with the largest screen in my hometown. Late 1996, I think. I went with my students (first class I was the head teacher of). Not only the wow effect, but also sentimental value.
I seen it in theaters. As we were on the drive home, they announced a tornado watch over the radio
I think i mentioned this during the lost boys reaction but its bananas that Jami Gertz is now a multi-billionaire. She is part owner of the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bewers. 🤯
net worth of $3 Billion. must be nice
Who is Jami Gertz?
@@riphopfer5816 the woman that Bill was going to marry
@@MattKeller Oh, wow- No kidding? Self-made? Inherited money? Married money?
@@riphopfer5816 her and her husband made it. It's actually pretty interesting to read about especially if you grew up watching and crushing on her. Highly recommend even just her Wikipedia page and you'll get a good idea of what she's been up to
I remember the preview trailer for this on the television when I was seven years old and I was blown away. 🤣
3:10 That little exchange between you two was the sort of thing I'd expect to hear when your little one wanders into your Justified reactions.
This was the first film i saw in imax and MAN was it intense. still one of my favorite films of all time and I can’t wait for the sequel!!!
We saw this movie as a family just before our Clark Griswold road trip across the country to the midwest.
Funny enough, while we were there, the sky turned green and we had legitimate tornado warnings with air raid sirens going.
My sisters were scared to death.
I get the distinct impression that Jo kept saying she would get them signed but she didn't have time to find a witness or her pen was dry and dragged it out figuring Bill would come to his senses. Or maybe she was waiting till the Dorothy units were done so he'd have to come out in the field and remember what he liked about her and they'd get back together. She manipulates him in both subtle and obvious ways from the minute he arrives. Even though she was holding onto it she still missed a signature probably hoping he wouldn't notice then have to come back again. The crack about being a weatherman. Implying he was getting married too fast to the first person he met. All within a couple of minutes. Jo is not a good person. Melissa deserved better.
My wife was born in Kansas and she was big on stockpiling. One bedroom just for food and supplies. Aways a wood pile in the back yard. Never had a tornado but you never know...
Love your RAW IS WAR shirt. Big wrestling fan myself. Love this movie too.
Still one of my personal all-time favorites!! I'm so old, I saw it in theaters when it first came out. I wanted to be a storm chaser after I watched it. LOL
As a fan of the first film, I am looking forward to this, and I am looking forward to seeing the second film as well ☺️
I've gotta go, we've got cows.
Second film? There's a Twister 2?
@nicholasholloway8743 yes it's called Twisters they aired the trailer during the superbowl.
@@nicholasholloway8743Twisters. Trailer dropped last night during some sports thing.
one of those movies that is still good no matter how many times you watch it. even the cgi still holds up today.
BTW... the Twisters trailer premiered last night during the super bowl.
And it totally missed what made the original fantastic.
I have no interest in seeing some bullshit reboot
one of the combines in the film, im not sure which one exactly, but it was bought and sold and moved to Saskatchewan Canada, actually not far from where I live, its used as a prop on a huge steel support for selling combines, ive passed by it many times
First DVD in the US.
Something you learned to live with growing up in central Oklahoma, and gave the state some of the best weather technology years ahead of the rest of the country. Chased them, been through them, cleaned up after even more.
Btw, the combines are just as expensive cause the state isn’t as “flat” as folks think, and there is a lot of irrigation used in the farmlands.
About maps: I've never had a map fail to function because of interference from lightning, suffering a power outage, or the failure of a battery.
Me neither, but once I had map failure due gust of wind though. Learned a thing then.
@@thejamppa Fair point, but wherever it ended up it was still completely functional (unless it went into a body of water, which would be even worse for a phone).
My wife and I live in Wisconsin and last week Thursday we had our very first tornado ever recorded for February
“The suck zone“is my favorite, watching you guys thus far. As a married man, this had me cackling!
Drive ins are awesome you have to go at least once in your life.
My best drive in experience was watching Star Wars in the 70's. The Tie fighters were 20 ft tall.
I love this movie. I remember watching it in theaters and having a great time. I can’t wait to watch Twisters on the big screen.
"IF you can feel it......Chase IT"!
Love this flick. This and Independence Day made the summer of ‘96 an awesome one. Love the end credits song and imagery. Beauty of nature after a scary view of it.
I’m not a prepper type but my family had a chimney fire when I was real young and the firefighters thought it funny cause I was standing outside with a lockbox with my “valuables” in it while they climbed all over the house.
Our tiny town still has a drive in. Gotta go watch the double feature at least once every summer! Good times!
I saw this three times in theatres back when it first came out. It's always been one of my favorites. It's also the reason I got into severe weather, especially tornadoes. Haven't seen one in person yet, but I'd still like to go chase some one day.
I live in the Midwest and severe weather can happen at the drop of a hat. There’s been a few close calls in my city the past few summers but thankfully nothing awful happened. On a side note the breakfast scene in this movie lives in my head rent free. The food looks so good.
13:58
What’s really weird, is that . . . THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE A DOG!!! 😱😱😱
We used to have Twister watching parties having steak and eggs for the dinner. Awesome times!! AND.... The cow does live and it's the story behind Twisters!!!!!!!! LOL!!! JK JK JK JK!!!!!
In 1996, when this movie came out and I was about 11, an F3 hit our village. Thankfully we were not home. We had gone into town for dinner and passed it on the drive. Saw it going through a field and ripping down a barn. When he got home the house was fine, but the garage was damaged and most of the trees on the property were down. Scariest part was we were playing in the garage just before we left. There were actually 3 tornadoes that day in the greater area.
Ironically, this is my go to movie on rainy days. I think the nostalgia of the movie, makes it very comforting. Also excited for the new movie, love good storm movies
It was such a 90’s choice to not only make a monster movie where tornados are vengeful, but also make them literally growl and roar lmao
Also had one of those ‘you may not have noticed, but your brain did’ moments picking up on how they use the background sound effects of thunder to dramatically punctuate dialogue, which is obviously amazing.
Just in time for the sequel.
Or reboot. Whichever. Still gonna watch it.
@@jjc5871either way it works
I always forget how insanely hungry I get when I watch this flick. 😂😂😂
Food!
@@zachmaster426 Some site a while back wrote an article about the top ten or twenty food scenes in a movie... and yeah, this was on the list. 😂
There is no place on the planet with food that's as good as that food looks! I'm convinced it's CGI. Science fiction.
FOOOD !!!
I watched this when I was like 6. Our basement door was outside and the opening scene scarred me for a few years. Lmao glad I can laugh about it now instead of paying for therapy 😂
In the opening flashback = both of Little Helen Hunt's parents are from _Friday the 13th_ movies = the mother is the co-owner of the Diner that serves Jason burgers in _Jason Goes to Hell_ and the father is one of the cops from _Part V: A New Beginning._
This movie also stars Sean Whalen from Wes Craven's _The People Under the Stairs_ and Jake Busey from _The Frighteners._
Plus the GOAT of weathermen, Gary England.
I need to live in your area. You don't have tornadoes and you have cold weather. I am where the weather is either sunny, or severe storms, and hot all year.
Well done on the sometimes Mr 😂😂, love yous two. This film is great, just seen the trailer for the 2nd one or was it the 1st one 😂😂
Jonas Miller aka The Dred Pirate Roberts.
I remember in Oklahoma, this was a big deal back then. And now we got the sequel in el Reno. Gotta a buddy who worked on set.
Sadly, it's more of a remake than a sequel.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures this film :-) Makes me want to just hit the road in an rv.
love watching movies with you guys! Have been following multiple commentators since 2020 and love you the most!
No matter how old i get those steak and eggs always looks amazing
I didn't get lunch today, I definitely hear ya.
I LOVE this movie ❤🌪️🐄
I want to say this is the first movie I remember messing with the intro logo. Nice touch 😎
It's a myth that tornadoes don't form in mountainous areas so you can still be scared lol.
The way this movie shows the calm before a storm and all the wind and rain is so cool! I love storms and rain, so this movie is great for me.
I'm glad I saved this for tonight I get crazy lonely when I can't sleep, thanks for the amazing content much appreciated!!!!
This movie never gets old. Plus Eddie vanhalen guitar playing during the end credits is phenomenal
Based on the synopsis and the preview I would say this new Twisters is a "Requel" like the later Scream Movies, where it's a sorta reboot of the franchise but includes elements that reference the original movie, like the preview shows a Dorothy 5 (where they went through Dorothy 1-4 in this movie).
According to imdb because I checked twisters has nothing to do with the original movie and will indeed be a reboot
@JeremyAustin-hw1qy I literally watched the trailer, it showed a Dorothy 5 at one point, that is a direct tie to the original, that's why I said it's a Requel, not a Sequel.
@@DanielRichards644 oh okay thanks for clarifying i didn't notice that
I definitely can see twisters being a requel. But either way, I’m still gonna go see it. I even saw “into the storm” and thought it was good too. I can’t wait til twisters comes out because it’ll be my first time seeing a tornado movie in the theaters.
@@chesterschannel6627 awesome twister was mine and it was really loud
I love the evil stormchaser, it's so absurd. "Jonah got himself some corporate sponsership!" Audience: "Booooooooooo!" Corporate Sponsers: "... all we want to do is help our friends in the Mid West we grew up there *cries*..."
One of my favorite movies. I remember seeing it at the drive in when I was 7, Thunderstorm happened when viewing and I was terrified and loved it ever since.
I clicked because of your Raw Is War shirt..😎
R.I.P. Phillip and Bill. Both very good actors..
I think this is the only Hoffman performance I enjoyed...
I was living in Tornado Alley when 🌪️ Premiered_Lubbock,TX.😬
Twister and independence day made in 1996 the best summer blockbuster movies of all time. Rip Bill paxton , and you mention the soundtrack, check the song at the end credits. Made me be on a trance watching the clouds with that song of Eddie van Halen
I love this movie! Growing up in Maryland, we have seen quite a few tornados. When I was in 6th grade, an EF 3 struck down the road from my house and another one from the same system hit The University of Maryland and killed 2 girls. We get a few tornados every year now. I have a healthy fear and respect for this force of nature.
I am jealous that you guys live in a state that you don’t have to worry about them. What state are you guys in?
Great movie! Glad I just need to worry about those random earthquakes instead of tornadoes every spring.
Lived in Coffeyville, Kansas, right on the easrern Oklahoma border, about twenty miles from where much of this movie was filmed. The filming was a big deal around there so when the movie came out in local theaters everybody took their whole family to see it.
There was a whole lot of traumatized chillun round here, lemme tell ya! 😆🤷
I loved Twister as and still as an adult. I loved that my Girlfriend of 3 years loved the hell out of Twister growing up as well and her daughter we introduced Twister to at age 7 really loved Twister as well, she keeps telling us she wants to be a stormchaser! Can't wait to go see the new Twisters movies coming together. I'm glad you two reacted to this classic!
Definitely go to the drive-in. It's a great experience. I have one near me with 3 screens and 2 movies on each all summer. I also have a projector and sound system i can bring to friends houses. Outdoor movies are so much fun.
I was watching Twister in a movie theater and we were told to leave because a tornado was coming.
A couple facts about this movie first it broke a lotta speakers in theaters because of how loud the movie was and second when bill paxton died 200 storm chasers used gps tracker blips to carve bp into corn fields as a thank you for being in the movie
LOL, I thought Mrs Movies had the shoe in her hand for protection from the twisters for a second there! 😆
when they ran off the road over them pipes in the red truck there was a big irrigation pivot along the edge of the road/field. i live in michigan where we dont get a ton of tornadoes but we do get them..always been afraid of them since i was a kid and am 50 now.. you should watch helen hunt in the movie soul surfer about real life shark bite survivor bethany hamilton
I live in Ohio we get a lot of water funnels and warnings here. Maybe I should move north lol.
18:58 There was an idea to make the cow a zebra instead to tie it to Jumanji, which came out the year before, but they decided against it, lol
Im loving your retro Raw is War T Shirt Mrs Movies!🥰
I usually end up seeing this about once a year during my tour of Drive-In Theaters in the midwest, during the summer...
If you have a Drive-In anywhere near you, I urge you to patronize it... Often... And tell your friends...
Bring the kids (even if they fall asleep in the car, memories of going to a Drive-In Theater will stay with them for the rest of their lives...) It's a great experience for the whole family!
11:39 my cousin is a TV meteorologist. I think there’s jealousy between the meteorologists on TV and those in the background. After all those on TV get all the attention and get paid better (at least as perceived if not in actuality).
In 2019, an F3 tornado came within a mile of my house. We were in the closet, but I could hear it clearly. It was a medium pitch whooshing sound (best way I could describe it), nothing like the growls depicted in the movie (but then again, according to my college prof, southern tornadoes are different enough from midwestern ones, you could almost call them different things.
I was so hyped for this movie the Saturday night it premiered on HBO. Left me fascinated and terrified of tornadoes after seeing it. Years later, I found out they filmed parts of the movie in a town we used to live in…the same town where we would watch the HBO premiere months later lol
hey guys,
fun fact; the very last song in the credits was played by Eddie Van Halen(not the band).it's called "respect the wind".
One of his best tracks he ever did
When I saw Twister, it was a drive-in and it was raining. Saw it and Waterworld.
Lived in Oklahoma for 24 years. Used to live just down the road from Wakita, where they filmed this. When we first moved to Oklahoma I had nightmares.
