Heh...that's actually my favorite part of the whole movie, the scene with Bill and Jo arguing in the truck with the radio on, so everybody can hear. That was HILARIOUS!!!! "....I'M VERY HAPPY WITH...WITH...WITH?...." " Melissa?" "......I KNOW HER NAME!!!!!....." - PERFECT Bill Paxton delivery. Sends me into hysteric fits of laughter every time.
Plot twist: Jo's dad at the beginning of the movie went over the rainbow and met Dorothy. They fell in love and had one child together and named him Bill. Bill had most of his childhood inside of a tornado and was raised by the F5.
As a resident of the south, I am looking forward to every single day of Spring...we have more guns this year so we'll teach them twisters a thing or two.
MasterTrlololol I kno bro! stupid teachers man! makin me write n stuff. all im thinking about it sweet ol sally obrian! im going to ask her to the big home coming dance! oh gee golly! i got butterflies in my tummy, ill tell ya! Then ill cream myself when we hold hand! OH BOY!
If a Tornado had eyes... IT WOULD HAVE SOLID RED MAD EYES LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOU IN IT'S PATH. MAKING THEM MORE TERRIFYING THAN THEY APPEAR.
The criticism this movie gets is totally undeserved. At the end of the day, it's extremely entertaining and never gets old, at least to me. The special effects are phenomenal and it does a great job of capturing the terror and unpredictability of storms. You'll never find a better storm or tornado movie than Twister.
Y'know I think Doug and a lot of other critics are WAY too harsh on this film. Yeah it's not that smart, and for a natural disaster movie the audience doesn't come away learning barely anything new about tornadoes (which is crazy considering it was written by Michael Crichton), but it's STILL one of my all-time favorite guilty pleasures. The soundtrack is kick-ass, the atmosphere is gleefully self-indulgent, and as stupid as the whole "tornadoes have minds of their own" angle is, it's just gosh darn fun. And as a big part of my childhood being one of the first PG-13 movies I watched besides Jurassic Park, it will always have a special place in my heart :) Plus the ride is pretty cool too lol
word of advice, don't try defending a movie you called a guilty pleasure when your saying many critics hated it. a guilty pleasure movie tends to end up as one of the following 1) something so opposite to your personality (at least in public) you love an example of this is a big burly biker guy loving something super girly and like barbie 2) its something very embarassing that you like it and rather others didn't know you liked it 3) you kind of like it because of reasons which tend to hurt it
Kevin S. Okay, then my understanding of the phrase "guilty pleasure" was a bit off. I'm not embarrassed that I like this movie, in fact I've defended it before on an objective basis. I believe it's unironically a good film, even with its various flaws. Thanks for correcting me (y)
But you have to take into account on when this video was made.....................not uploaded. Made. Which was.......let me take a quick look, I am currently looking it up as I am writing this comment, that is how awesome I am............March of 2009...,but still. He should've known better.
Pale Horse No. Dunne N' dusted used the correct "you're" as in the one that's the abbreviated form of "You are", as opposed to "your" which refers to something belonging to party being addressed.
Came back here after hearing sad news, this was the first thing that popped in my mind it seems that I connect celebrities' deaths with NC's reviews RIP Bill Paxton
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!" Actually, recently in 2011 there was an outbreak of 340+ tornadoes across 21 states. I don't think that many were violent tornadoes (EF4-EF5). But back in the 1970's there was an outbreak of 140+ tornadoes across 13 states, including Canada and 30 of those were violent F4-F5 tornadoes. So yeah, it can go nuts from time to time. The amount of tornadoes that were shown in this movie was actually quite low. What was it, 3-4 maybe 5? Decent supercells will spit out that or even more.
+MikePlaysIt oklahma can have thse days were 50 tornadoes hit. Doug should know better he's from the midwest. but he doesn't understand that Oklahoma gets THE MOST tornadoes in the world.
+MikePlaysIt thank you. I know he's just wisecracking, but with many of these "bad" movies I like, he seems to pick and choose what he'd like to see in a movie (there's always too much character development or not enough it seems), and comes off as a pretentious cheap-shot-loosing prick.
Actually Twister's tornado outbreak is completely possible and has happened in American history many times, including the 2011 Super Outbreak which saw hundreds of tornadoes touchdown in a 72 hour period. Hundreds of people died and billion of dollars of damage was done, the effects of that outbreak still felt and seen today. Joplin for example. The damage of the F5 that struck Joplin, Missouri was compared to a small nuclear bomb and ranks as the costliest tornado of all time in world history. The city is still being repaired today.
"How many tornadoes can there possibly be in one day?" Well... We've had 321 in a week... So "This simply doesn't happen!" Well... Actually it does. Welcome to Oklahoma.
1. Tornadoes can roar. 2. Green Skies usually indicate an extreme severe storm is forming and approaching, usually associated with tornadoes. This is also more originating from farmers that seems to hold up on its own. 3. When I was young and watched the movie, I was thinking the exact same thing in the opening in relation to the father. 4. Oh and during the waterspout scene. I do not know why many people do not see this, but there are Three tornadoes instead of two.
Another movie connection I just realized - Michael Crichton's first novel that got turned into a movie was the Andromeda Strain directed by Robert Wise. Robert Wise directed the Haunting in 1963. Jan de Bont directed Twister. His very next movie? The remake of The Haunting.
We watched this movie in my 8th grade science class. Because we were studying air flow and velocity. I had totally forgotten that happened until I saw this.
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 stupidest thing is, the main character is really selfish while he pretends he's not. If he only cared for science, why would he care if Jonas did it for the money?
TheDreReichDude - Just like any other wrestler take steroids only care about money and careless specially Seth Rollins injuries to Finn Balor and many more....
"So Bill agrees to stick around to help Dorothy fly because lord knows he can't let Jonas get to it first." "And who's following close behind?" Cues Darth Vader theme song "JONAAAAAAASSSSSS!" Literally laughed hysterically during every part of this review that had Jonas in it XD
You know, people from the Midwest tend to really enjoy this movie while people from other parts of the country tend to dismiss it. At least that's my personal experience with Twister.
I thought you were talking about North Carolina, I just realized you meant Nostalgia Critic. Still, my experience is based on people I've actually met.
My Dad is from Oklahoma, but he ended up moving back to Oregon with my Mom after he met her. Anyway, He said he used to always watch this movie when he was feeling homesick. Lol
Riiiight. I've been through nights where the tornado sirens went off a good 10 times here in Arkansas. A lot of his "bad" points about the science of the tornado outbreak was off. They got a lot right to me and anyone else in tornado ally. Except maybe the whole, strap down to a pipe and survive.....
I found it annoying that he kept harping on the fact that the tornadoes just suddenly disappear when that's actually how they behave. Tornadoes aren't like hurricanes or thunderstorms that stick around for a while and move great distances. They show up for a little bit, do a variable amount of damage, and then vanish.
While this movie may be flawed in quite a few things, I think NC was being a little too harsh about the tornado plot. Tornado season in OK? Lots o' twisters. This is before the Enhanced Fujita scale, and yes, F5s are not only rare, but horrifyingly destructive (don't believe me? Wikipedia Greensburg, Kansas and get back to me later) Tornadoes are still incredibly unpredictable, despite all the things we know about them. This movie perfect? No. Decent? Sure. Also I think at the time this movie came out, hiding under an overpass when a tornado approaches was the accepted thinking (now we know holy crap that's a bad idea)
Or Google the May 1999 Oklahoma City tornado, EF5 Joplin, Mo tornado, and the Moore and El Reno OK tornado last year, both EF5s. You're right Wolfbyte, back then it was advised to hide under an overpass if you were near one. And NC was being too harsh on this movie. Because of this movie, I personally took (and still have) an interest in Meteorology with emphasis on tornadoes.
Google April 27, 2011 tornadoes and you see the exact same twister plot pretty much happening. I think we had about 20 tornadoes that day and this movie came to my mind throughout that day.
Look at April, 2011. Over 300 tornados touched down in like 20 states. The events in this movie are not only possible, but they have happened. I get the sense that Nostalgia critic doesn't live anywhere near tornado ally
***** Then its confirmed, he doesn't live anywhere near tornado alley. Tornados are not terribly common in Illinois, occurring primarily in the southern and western extremes of the state. Chicago has never experienced a significant tornado. Only once in recorded history has a tornado touched down in the city proper and only 4 other times have tornadoes touched ground within the Chicago area in general. Never have they caused notable damage.
I remember it very fondly myself. Sure, the romance part is quite dumb but I love the team spirit between the twister lads, they're very cool kids, you can really feel the camaraderie. I love that scene where they all play their "we're hunting a tornado!" music together, actually, lol! It's chaotic and good natured, like their crew, I thought it was great. I also love every single dumb line they gave Dusty. The suck zone is legendary, man!
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!" Quite a few, even if you're talking about just one town. Grand Island, NE was hit by 7 tornadoes in one day in 1980, and a couple of small towns in northern Alabama were hit by two F5 tornadoes during the Super Outbreak of 1974. The movie theater tornado is ridiculous because NO ONE sees it coming until the very moment it hits. Real weather nerds would have had their asses in front of a TV/computer watching that sumbitch coming on radar an hour before it hit. The review was great, though. I highly enjoyed it :-)
Poyekhali919 Oh wow. I actually live in the midwest. Springfield, IL. I didn't even know there were so many tornadoes. Also, since the film takes place in Oklahoma, which is said to be in the "Tornado Valley", there can be quite a bit of tornadoes in one day. Honestly, I think the Critic is just hamming this review up, like a lot of his reviews. I actually quite enjoy Twister.
***** No shame in that. And yeah, over in Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, all those states in the middle are in Tornado Alley. Probably caused because of warmer currents flowing in from the Gulf of Mexico colliding with the cold air currents flowing in from Canada. Right where they meet, BOOM. Tornado. You're in IL., so you should be safe from tornadoes (though I can expect you do get a good amount of snow every now and then). But tornadoes, they're unpredictable and could happen anywhere (that doesn't mean they're likely to happen), and in Tornado Alley, they could happen any time. It just depends on the air that's going around along with air pressure and other variables like that. And about the Critic . . . Well, he was hammering it, but there are always cases where he doesn't know about a subject as much as he thinks he does. I'm not saying anything bad about him, I'm just saying what I've concluded from the Compilation of his F-ups videos.
Volcano made my brain try to leave my skull via my ears. It sucked. For a better '90s disaster movie you need Dante's Peak. Which also sucks but is a bit better.
Anastasia Alexandra That's my favorite as well :) I personally like the Natural disaster movies of the 90's; yeah some of the acting, plots and other stuff like that were little iffy, but I did like the action and thrills it produced with the thought of mother nature's PMS mood swings wreaking havoc.
Seriously, what is Jo expecting to accomplish by trying to hunt these tornadoes down? Does she want to somehow assassinate them all to avenge her father or something?
"We don't know anything about how tornadoes work"... Sorry, but having been a Weather Forecaster for 5 years, and actually studying how weather works, The alarming lack of science in this movie makes my head hurt more than a geneticist's whilst watching Jurassic Park...
That moment when Nostalgia Critic hated on this movie but when Bill Paxton passed away said "The only reason to stand this movie was him"... WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK?! or was that video a parody? i don't know anymore
Iron pipes and leather straps hold you down huh? Funny, I could have sworn that the centrifugal force of an F-5 tornado would violently spin them with such ruthless power that the straps would tighten and squeeze their guts out of all their orifices like toothpaste. But I guess the center of a tornado is just full of whimsy! Lalala!
When The Nostalgia Critic said in the drive in theater scene how many tornadoes can you have in one day that simply don't happen. He's wrong that can and do happen practically every year you can have all 5 f scale tornadoes rating even I know that he must had forgotten it because you learn it in school and weather channel it's called a Tornado Outbreak that's why there's so many tornadoes it's an Tornado Outbreak.
Not necessarily. An EF5 with winds of 300+ mph will still do severe damage. It may fair better than a normal brick or wood framed house but it won't be habitable after the fact.
In a lot of places in tornado alley, it's is extremely difficult if not impossible to build underground storm shelters or basements. Here in Arkansas the ground is extremely hard clay and someone would have to be rich to build a basement or storm shelter. I know my mom told me when she and my Dad built or house, it cost them a crazy amount of money to even have one room lowered a step. You only see basements and shelters farther up north for a reason. It's geology. Sucks.
Absolutely loved Twister and don't know anyone who actually dislikes it. It was exciting, brilliant, epic and heartwarming. Nostalgia Critic really doesn't like disaster movies. Makes you wonder what happened to teen Doug in the late 90's.
My friend and I always used to joke that this movie was the best Dodge commercial ever. Because no matter what happened, that truck stayed intact even after driving through a house. It was a bit silly, but I still enjoyed it.
"Because THIS is what I want to see in a tornado movie! Couples arguing!"
I've been waiting forever for someone to say that.
I've been waiting my whole life for just couple arguing in a tornado movie
Heh...that's actually my favorite part of the whole movie, the scene with Bill and Jo arguing in the truck with the radio on, so everybody can hear. That was HILARIOUS!!!! "....I'M VERY HAPPY WITH...WITH...WITH?...." " Melissa?" "......I KNOW HER NAME!!!!!....." - PERFECT Bill Paxton delivery. Sends me into hysteric fits of laughter every time.
Bill was raised by wild tornadoes, so he knows their ways.
Plot twist: Jo's dad at the beginning of the movie went over the rainbow and met Dorothy. They fell in love and had one child together and named him Bill. Bill had most of his childhood inside of a tornado and was raised by the F5.
Then that would make Bill and Jo half-siblings...Ew.
That would also make Jo way older than Bill.

For some reason whenever you don't have to take notes it's some piece of shit movie.
I've just got to say this movie would be like, ten thousand times better if Jack Nicholson was the tornado.
Or Doctor Klaw.
Amaranth indubitably
If a Tornado had eyes... IT WOULD HAVE SOLID RED MAD EYES LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOU IN IT'S PATH. MAKING THEM MORE TERRIFYING THAN THEY APPEAR.
"Avenge my twistery death.." LMAO
Damn, your profile pic got me. Lol, I thought it was a gnat! They tend to come in through my screen this time of the year. =P
I still spout that at random times. It was probably the Critic's best bit.
honestly Doug can hate any movie that i like, i still watch his videos because of his hilarious commentary
I agree, absolutely agree, love these reviews funny so funny
Agreed.
Exactly
Yep.
Here, Here :3
"Remember to drink pepsi!"
That line made me laugh so hard, this is easily one of my favourite movie reviews you have done XD
Hes silly

I know I love the imperial March playing when jonas shows up lol

I lost it at "Here's twisty!"
I lost it for the "Here's twisty" X'D
The criticism this movie gets is totally undeserved. At the end of the day, it's extremely entertaining and never gets old, at least to me. The special effects are phenomenal and it does a great job of capturing the terror and unpredictability of storms. You'll never find a better storm or tornado movie than Twister.
i agree with you %100, and I watched this movie as a kid, and then i kept watching it till today, where i see new things in the movie
No, it most certainly does deserve the criticism.
screw you! this movie was and still is awesome!
cjallday1130 "Screw you for having an opinion and not ignoring a movie's glaring flaws just cause I say it's perfect!" Brilliant rebuttal, dude.
this movie is literally what MADE these three actors: Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, and the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman!
Just like when I came back after Hoffman's death, I'm back again due to Paxton's death.
RIP Bill and Phillip.
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day!?"
Hundreds, actually.
exactly what i said after he said that.. im from oklahoma.. shit gets crazy
no millons if not billons of tornados happen every year
Rhyan Xyvenn Me too, many in one day. The Yanks call it a storm, we call it Tuesday.
ha
It's probably tornado season

word of advice, don't try defending a movie you called a guilty pleasure when your saying many critics hated it.
a guilty pleasure movie tends to end up as one of the following
1) something so opposite to your personality (at least in public) you love an example of this is a big burly biker guy loving something super girly and like barbie
2) its something very embarassing that you like it and rather others didn't know you liked it

I disagree, I was a 13 year old when I saw this and found it boring as shit, but then again that's just me
But the ride is awesome yes
***** lol I think both are awesome but to each his own :P
17:36 Let's see:
April 25-28, 2011 had 355 total with 211 appearing on the 27th alone.
I was gonna write that! XD Well, NC should grab his facts before he tries making a joke about it.
Went to reply to say this and realized I was beaten :p
I was going to say that as well. At least I'm not the only one who knows.
except almost all of thsoe were pussy tornados
But you have to take into account on when this video was made.....................not uploaded. Made. Which was.......let me take a quick look, I am currently looking it up as I am writing this comment, that is how awesome I am............March of 2009...,but still. He should've known better.

+lordblazer why would a midwest person understand Oklahoma? Oklahoma is a southern state. with ties to the south east and south west
+MikePlaysIt thank you. I know he's just wisecracking, but with many of these "bad" movies I like, he seems to pick and choose what he'd like to see in a movie (there's always too much character development or not enough it seems), and comes off as a pretentious cheap-shot-loosing prick.

Yeah I always wanted to say that. Has doug never heard of the crazy tornado outbreaks that have happened in many states over history?
Jared Gillenwater Wow, really?!

"It's ok, they're taking me to McDonald's anyway!" LMAO! XD
To be fair, id pay money to see a Twister with Jack Nicholson's face on it.
For some reason, I laughed pretty hard when he said "Avenge my twistery deaath".

I miss old nc, I still love these videos , he's so good here
Right? The new stuff is not nearly good enough
why did he stop doing the character tho?

Rest In Peace Bill Paxton
You know, people from the Midwest tend to really enjoy this movie while people from other parts of the country tend to dismiss it. At least that's my personal experience with Twister.
Maybe, but it's funny because NC's from the midwest.
Friend, you need to check your maps again.
heirofaniu Illinois is in the midwest.
I thought you were talking about North Carolina, I just realized you meant Nostalgia Critic.
Still, my experience is based on people I've actually met.
My Dad is from Oklahoma, but he ended up moving back to Oregon with my Mom after he met her. Anyway, He said he used to always watch this movie when he was feeling homesick. Lol
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?"
He's clearly never been to Missouri.
Or anywhere in Tornado Alley.
Riiiight. I've been through nights where the tornado sirens went off a good 10 times here in Arkansas. A lot of his "bad" points about the science of the tornado outbreak was off. They got a lot right to me and anyone else in tornado ally. Except maybe the whole, strap down to a pipe and survive.....
Yeah, & hes wrong about how the Tornadoes Just Vanish. Cause if you look they Slowly Fade away like A Real tornado.
*****
& i Think it was Also the 2003 Season that Spawned an unusual number of Tornadoes.
***** neither the tornado day, with over 148 tornadoes, it was in the 70s
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day. This doesn't happen"
Obviously, Critic has never been to Alabama.
idk why "avenge my twistery death" got me harder than anything else in this review as a kid but goddammit, it still does
Bill Paxton, you were amazing
How many bill paxtons does it take to slam your head against a wall? The world may never know.

Google April 27, 2011 tornadoes and you see the exact same twister plot pretty much happening. I think we had about 20 tornadoes that day and this movie came to my mind throughout that day.
Look at April, 2011. Over 300 tornados touched down in like 20 states. The events in this movie are not only possible, but they have happened. I get the sense that Nostalgia critic doesn't live anywhere near tornado ally
B Mcgee He lives in Chicago.
***** Then its confirmed, he doesn't live anywhere near tornado alley. Tornados are not terribly common in Illinois, occurring primarily in the southern and western extremes of the state. Chicago has never experienced a significant tornado. Only once in recorded history has a tornado touched down in the city proper and only 4 other times have tornadoes touched ground within the Chicago area in general. Never have they caused notable damage.

Actually living in Kansas I can tell you that this many tornadoes in one day is possible
Watching this in honor of Bill Paxton.
I actually enjoyed this film for some reason
+drakionclawers Well just because it's a dumb film doesn't make it any less entertaining.
I like looking at tornadoes.
Some of the dumbest movies are the best look at lady in the water I love that movie cause it's the only M night movie were i actually laughed at it
I remember it very fondly myself. Sure, the romance part is quite dumb but I love the team spirit between the twister lads, they're very cool kids, you can really feel the camaraderie. I love that scene where they all play their "we're hunting a tornado!" music together, actually, lol! It's chaotic and good natured, like their crew, I thought it was great. I also love every single dumb line they gave Dusty. The suck zone is legendary, man!
drakionclawers same
"How many tornadoes can there be in one day?!"
Quite a few, even if you're talking about just one town. Grand Island, NE was hit by 7 tornadoes in one day in 1980, and a couple of small towns in northern Alabama were hit by two F5 tornadoes during the Super Outbreak of 1974. The movie theater tornado is ridiculous because NO ONE sees it coming until the very moment it hits. Real weather nerds would have had their asses in front of a TV/computer watching that sumbitch coming on radar an hour before it hit.
The review was great, though. I highly enjoyed it :-)
Weren't there also a bunch just earlier this week? I don't remember how many, but there was a good handful.
JasminePaygeBrooke
You're right, a couple of weeks ago there was that big tornado outbreak in the Midwest. At least 70 tornadoes were confirmed!
That's awful D: I hope everyone is being helped!

Oh wow. I actually live in the midwest. Springfield, IL. I didn't even know there were so many tornadoes. Also, since the film takes place in Oklahoma, which is said to be in the "Tornado Valley", there can be quite a bit of tornadoes in one day. Honestly, I think the Critic is just hamming this review up, like a lot of his reviews. I actually quite enjoy Twister.
***** No shame in that. And yeah, over in Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, all those states in the middle are in Tornado Alley. Probably caused because of warmer currents flowing in from the Gulf of Mexico colliding with the cold air currents flowing in from Canada. Right where they meet, BOOM. Tornado. You're in IL., so you should be safe from tornadoes (though I can expect you do get a good amount of snow every now and then). But tornadoes, they're unpredictable and could happen anywhere (that doesn't mean they're likely to happen), and in Tornado Alley, they could happen any time. It just depends on the air that's going around along with air pressure and other variables like that. And about the Critic . . . Well, he was hammering it, but there are always cases where he doesn't know about a subject as much as he thinks he does. I'm not saying anything bad about him, I'm just saying what I've concluded from the Compilation of his F-ups videos.
Melissa give the Tornado "The Look" @ 17:16
I swear, this is the BEST critique 😂😂
Fun fact: Twister was the first movie ever released on DVD.
Wait it was? Because I OWN that on dvd!
RIP Philip S Hoffman
This review's pure gold.
Rest In Pease Bill Paxton. 😭
I just have to say but I Love NOSTALGIA Critic he's hilarious!!
I love this movie, but without Dusty it would not be as fun.
R.I.P Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Haha, Imperial March with the black truck...
I know they're incredibly stupid, but I LOVE the '90s disaster movie genre. So badly entertaining! My personal fav is Volcano.
*****
And they're perfect for rainy days or a sick day.
Volcano made my brain try to leave my skull via my ears. It sucked. For a better '90s disaster movie you need Dante's Peak. Which also sucks but is a bit better.
I hated DAnte's Peak.
Anastasia Alexandra That's my favorite as well :) I personally like the Natural disaster movies of the 90's; yeah some of the acting, plots and other stuff like that were little iffy, but I did like the action and thrills it produced with the thought of mother nature's PMS mood swings wreaking havoc.
Rest in peace, Bill Paxton.
Doug has clearly never spent time in tornado alley.
+Joe Richards I guess you could say that "Ignorance is bliss".
When I was younger this was one of my favorite films, along with Shawshank and ConAir.
Ah, 90's cinema.
Shawshank Redemption still hold water.
Joshua Nichols
Yep, I definitely make time to watch it when it comes on TV.
Joshua Nichols Come on. Con Air can be funny, especially with Steve Buscemi singing when the plane falls down from the sky...
darwincity Oh thank god, I'm not the only one who thinks Steve Buscemi is awesome.
He's still Mister Pink to me.
JONAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!!
I loved this movie as a kid.
Seriously, what is Jo expecting to accomplish by trying to hunt these tornadoes down? Does she want to somehow assassinate them all to avenge her father or something?
It's kinda awkward watching this now that both Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymore Hoffman are gone.
"We don't know anything about how tornadoes work"... Sorry, but having been a Weather Forecaster for 5 years, and actually studying how weather works, The alarming lack of science in this movie makes my head hurt more than a geneticist's whilst watching Jurassic Park...
+Tom Forrest Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park wrote the script for this!!!
"Jonas, the very name invites douchebag."
Remember to drink Pepsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~!
I had to watch twister in my 8th grade science class
That moment when Nostalgia Critic hated on this movie but when Bill Paxton passed away said "The only reason to stand this movie was him"... WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK?! or was that video a parody? i don't know anymore
Iron pipes and leather straps hold you down huh?
Funny, I could have sworn that the centrifugal force of an F-5 tornado would violently spin them with such ruthless power that the straps would tighten and squeeze their guts out of all their orifices like toothpaste.
But I guess the center of a tornado is just full of whimsy! Lalala!
When The Nostalgia Critic said in the drive in theater scene how many tornadoes can you have in one day that simply don't happen. He's wrong that can and do happen practically every year you can have all 5 f scale tornadoes rating even I know that he must had forgotten it because you learn it in school and weather channel it's called a Tornado Outbreak that's why there's so many tornadoes it's an Tornado Outbreak.
"Why was it (Twister) such a big hit? Because of the effects!"
Hmm, now why does that sound familiar? Cough cough Avatar cough cough!!
My god the number of times I had to sit through this movie in class... Seriously, I've seen this crappy movie more times then I can remember T_T
I guess NC doesn't like Deep Purple... shame.
Yep. Helen Hunt is totally devoid of hotness.
She's Not That Hot.
Dances with funnel clouds 😂
Imperial March was good touch
Funnily enough all the fking problems with tornadoes can be solved by building stone houses.
Not necessarily. An EF5 with winds of 300+ mph will still do severe damage. It may fair better than a normal brick or wood framed house but it won't be habitable after the fact.
Tim O but the chart says . . .
1. I don't see what's funny about that.
2. Shut the fuck up because you don't know what you're talking about.
No not stone only dome homes can take that wind
In a lot of places in tornado alley, it's is extremely difficult if not impossible to build underground storm shelters or basements. Here in Arkansas the ground is extremely hard clay and someone would have to be rich to build a basement or storm shelter. I know my mom told me when she and my Dad built or house, it cost them a crazy amount of money to even have one room lowered a step. You only see basements and shelters farther up north for a reason. It's geology. Sucks.
R.I.P Paxton and Hoffman
Absolutely loved Twister and don't know anyone who actually dislikes it.
It was exciting, brilliant, epic and heartwarming.
Nostalgia Critic really doesn't like disaster movies. Makes you wonder what happened to teen Doug in the late 90's.
You don't know me then.
Actually, it's not difficult to know what a storm is thinking: nothing.
I know it because that's one thing we have in common...
My friend and I always used to joke that this movie was the best Dodge commercial ever. Because no matter what happened, that truck stayed intact even after driving through a house. It was a bit silly, but I still enjoyed it.
