I love how Ashleigh's accent gets more and more Southern as she gets more and more nervous and scared LOL!!

The dark-haired woman is Jami Gertz, who played Star in The Lost Boys.

I always appreciated that they didn't make Melissa a villain; she's generally interested in what is going on and tries to understand, but she recognizes that this life is not for her.

When Ashleigh asks about what happens to the cows….we’re all like…”just wait a few minutes.”

Fun Fact: Steven Speilberg originally wanted Tom Hanks to play the part of Bill and Hanks read for it, but he turned it down because he felt he wasn't right for the part. After working with Bill Paxton in Apollo 13, Hanks looked at Paxton as the perfect guy for the part in Twister and Hanks helped Paxton get the part in Twister.

In loving memory of Eddie Van Halen, Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour-Hoffman.

I'll never forget when I got Twister on VHS at Christmas that year: I tore the wrapping off, and the plastic was off of it. My dad told me he couldn't wait for me to open it, so he watched it before my mom could wrap it. He never even bothered to rewind the tape.

"Nothing I hate worse than a gay tornado. Can rip a 16 penny nail out of a 2x4 but can't rip a tank top off of Helen Hunt." - Some comedian told this joke and it stuck with me all this time.

"It isn't THAT the wind is blowin... it's WHAT the wind is blowin." - Ron White

The joke about her Dad taking readings from inside the tornado caught me off guard but I loved it 😆

The actor who played “Dusty” was Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He became a major actor in his own right. I truly enjoyed the soundtrack. Very good songs were chosen.

This soundtrack slaps hard, but my favorite part is when all trucks in the convoy are playing their own songs and it merges into a musical mass.

"The Finger of God", eighteen years later and that line still hits like an F5.

Ashleigh: "You know what..." Me: "Bill Paxton could get it?" Ashleigh: "Bill Paxton could get it." Me: "Fuckin A, he could."

"You're dad couldn't do that?" ASHLEIGH 😂😂😂😂

I was in college when this came out, took a friend from Scotland to see this. She was very quiet on the way home, then said, "Do you get that sort of storm around here?"

The fact that you made a joke about the cows BEFORE the most iconic scene of these movie showed up it's PERFECT to me lol

Bill Paxton ❤ Storm chasers spelled out his initials with GPS when he passed away.

34:47 "I WANNA GO HOME" [ house appears ] "THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!"

Tennessee: It's tornado season... we had A tornado! Oklahoma: We had 22 the other night.

The number of college students who sought a meteorological degree after this film came out increased by 10% over the late 90s. Universal Studios also funded a grant to University of Oklahoma to develop a mobile radar. This film had a great impact on the lives of many people who are notable storm chasers on KZfaq who urge their audiences to "not be scared, be prepared" in the face of severe weather.

Hey Ashleigh, IRL storm chaser here: NSSL is real - now colocated with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK. In a storm that hit a year after Twister in Jarrell, TX; forensic experts spent days trying to separate animal and human parts. Soundtrack going hard: one of the last Van Halen efforts with Sammy Hagar. Love the closing song over the credits. DOROTHY was built from a real project called TOTO, from 55 gallon drum designed to be dropped in the path. Both are in the main hallway of NWS Headquarters in Maryland. Been chased by killer tornados that were wrapped in rain.

Helen Hunt played the female lead. She had started acting early in her life. Her career took off when she played in the hit TV show Mad About You. She won best female comedian for 4 straight years. Twister was the #2 in film box office. She then won the female academy award for best actress for As Good as It gets playing opposite Jack Nicholson. She was in many popular films & is still active as an actress, as a screenwriter & as a director.

When Bill said it too light, he ment that Dorothy was not heavy enough to release the sensors into the tornado. Thats why they left it in the truck, while they jumped of the it when it was heading to the tornado.

She's a therapist....... Yours? Is top top level banter 😂

In case you didn't notice, the map guy is Alan Ruck. He was Cameron on Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the tourist on Speed.

You might be interested to know that the filmmakers actually interviewed two people who had been in the center of a tornado that way, and they tried to make it as realistic as possible, so yes, that's pretty much what it looks like inside a tornado.

My father lived Lubbock, TX when the 1970 Tornado hit. I believe it was the original basis for the Fujita scale 5. However, my grandparents were virtually the first people to have their electricity restored. My uncle worked for the electric company. He worked in a 2 person team and would climb the electric pole to fix it. They went over to my grandparent's neighborhood and fixed it there. They then went to the other guy's parents' house and fixed it. Only then did they go where the company wanted.

My 8 year old daughter discovered Twister this weekend. We were camping and the weather was terrible, so I fired up the generator and we hunkered down in the trailer watching movies and eating snacks. It’s one of the few DVD’s I still have from the old days of diving in the $5 bins at Walmart 20 years ago. When I tell you this kid was GLUED to the TV; it was like somebody welded her ass to the couch and her eyes to the screen.

I gotta write it every time; I don't eat thick-cut steaks or sunnyside-up eggs, but I want a full plate everytime I watch this movie. Potatoes and gravy as well.

On May 23,1953 in Port Huron, Michigan an F4 tonado destroyed my birth mothers house, the family took refuge and that's the night I was conceived, that's the story they told my adopted mother. Feb. 23,1954 would be 9 months and I was born March 6,1954 9 months and 12 days after the tornado. So I'm one person who can say a tornado created my life, l was always fascinated with storm's as a child.😂 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ Gary😊 Love your reactions 😮

This movie was huge in Oklahoma when it came out, partially because the movie was mostly filmed on location in Oklahoma and partially because the tornado experience is the reality for those of us here. To show how much our local meteorologists are celebrities, Twister had one from each of the three OKC major TV channels in a role in the movie. Most notably, the one that appears on TV in the 1969 sequence is Gary England, the most notable weather personality in Oklahoma history. Three years after this movie, the F5 tornado with the strongest winds ever recorded on the face of the planet struck my high school. My family was in a closet listening to the radio, and right before the power went out, the radio recorded the street intersection just SW of our house. The actual intersection was two miles south. (119th St vs 149th St) One of the scariest moments of my life. In 2013, an EF5 tornado passed through a similar area, including less than a mile from the house where my brother lived at the time (and directly over the house where I currently live, though not at the time).

The "couldn't the dad have done that" joke would have made me spit coffee had I been drinking it.

"Your Dad couldn't do that?" Lol!

🤣🤣🤣 5:44 "Your dad couldn't do that?" ASH!!!! REALLY???? LOL Made me spit soda out my nose!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

In Texas rn and the tornados the other week blew the windows out of the buildings downtown and there was glass all over the street it’s terrifying to think that a tornado with glass basically becomes a blender

I live in Iowa where we had 44 tornadoes last month alone. One sideswiped our town three weeks ago and knocked down one of our trees. They have leveled entire towns in my state. This is one of my favorite movies. I have yet to meet a Midwesterner who doesn't love this movie. I screamed when I saw the notification in my inbox this morning. My mom is happy because I rented it, and so now she can watch it on her tablet. SO much joy in this household today.

My first job was working at a movie theater (would recommend) and Twister was the first summer blockbuster I worked. I will never forget the line to buy tickets wrapped around the edge of the building. We also internally screened movies the night before opening day to ensure that there weren't any issues with how we spliced the print together before showing it to the public. For Twister we cranked the audio up and the tornado scenes were deafening! It shook the building, and I would have sworn an actual tornado was right outside the theater.

My favorite scene in this whole movie is the conversation between Meg, Dusty, and Rabbit about Meg having so much beef.

Went to see this in the theatre with friends when I was thirteen and it’s intense on the big screen and I look over and one of my friends was fast asleep. That girl could sleep through anything

We got Bill Paxton vs The Dread Pirate Roberts to see who can map a Tornado first

“Your dad couldn’t do that?” Priceless! And that is what makes your reactions so special.

My cousin lived in Norm Oklahoma, right behind that school were the kids died. His entire family was able to escape but one of their dogs ran off. With no time to go after the dog, their road escape was already blocked off, he was forced to drive over the back fence into the schoolyard and escaped that way. His house (and the school) were both hit directly by the F-5 and he lost almost everything. After the storm someone created a web site for all the missing pets people were looking after, and my cousin found his dog on the web site. So it turned out his entire family was safe. When my grandfather was a kid a huge F5 tore through several states including Southern Illinois. He helped with the clean rescue and he saw things like bits of straw driven into fences and tries like they were nails but the weirdest thing was a chicken with all its feathers torn out and its beak in a tree.

"In a tornado, where do the cows go?" They do what I'd do - RUN!!!!

I've lived through an F-5 tornado back when I drove tractor trailers or a living. I was delivering a load to Moore OK back on May 20 2013 it was absolutely terrifying. I lost my truck but I made it through

Small bit of trivia - The gas tanker that exploded was labelled as belonging to 'Benthic Petroleum'. This was the company that built and ran the deep sae oil rig in 'The Abyss'. placing both films in the same universe - a universe that also includes 'Terminator 2' (Benthic Petroleum ran the gas station they hid out in after rescuing Sarah Conner).

A couple of years ago I saw one from my front porch, at about 9 AM. Sounded like a military jet taking off. I thought to my self, "That's not what I think it is, is it?" Yep. We had another just this last week, but it was at night. Completely different.

Ashleigh, I am so happy you watched this. It’s so funny and amazing to see your reactions! My husband and I are Oklahoma based storm chasers and were inspired by this movie when we were little. This movie is a huge part of ours and every chaser’s life.

Love her aunt! "Did you see my cows in the yard?" And this movie was my introduction to kinetic art. I would adore having any of the art pieces she has in her yard. I'm always in awe of Philip Seymour Hoffman's talent. He was so good and gone far too soon. It's unfortunate the Hollywood machine and Helen Hunt didn't work out. She is so talented and beautiful. Ashley, do yourself a favor and watch her in the series Mad About You. Her comedic timing is perfect!

42:12 the lead Actress is Helen Hunt…was a successful actress in the 90s winning 4 Emmy’s for her sitcom “Mad About You” and an Oscar for one of her movies (holding back name of movie on purpose so NO SPOILERS!)

I’m so glad I was old enough to see this in theaters. I was 11 when it came out, and I still remember how much fun it was. My dad took me the first time. It was a super hot day, the AC in the theater was ice cold, and when we came outside, thunderstorms were approaching. Pretty sure my dad drove a little crazy on the way home. Saw the movie like 4 more times before it left the theater. I hope it comes back to the big screen before the sequel comes out.

My Mum and I were really big on natural disaster films when I was a kid. We saw Twister together, and it was the best experience in cinema, surround sound, it was so awesome. Still my favourite disaster film.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I am glad you saw it! 1. Alan Ruck plays Rabbit the map guy, and he looked familiar to you because he was Cameron, Ferris Bueller's best friend. 2. The film was co-written by Michael Crichton, the same guy who wrote the book Jurassic Park, which is why this is a _thrilling_ film. 3. When you asked about the cows I was like "you'll see" :D

My wife and I saw this in the theater when it came out. It was even more terrifying due to the sound system. The seats were vibrating with the roar of the tornadoes and hearing the wind nod shift from left to right/front to back with the movement of the tornado was incredible. I didn't know if the new one will be any good, but it should be experienced in the theater (though I acknowledge that goes against the nature of your channel).

My parents lost their house in a tornado about 13 years ago. It's crazy seeing the damage up close. I'm so thankful my parents survived it, unfortunately one of their neighbors didn't.

I saw this movie at the movie theatre when it first came out. I was living in Kansas at the time. When we got out of the movie theatre and got in the car and turned on the radio we realized we were under a tornado warning! I'm not from Kansas, so of course having just watched that movie, it totally freaked me out! Didn't get a tornado, thanks goodnesses, but it sure got my adrenaline going!

having jack torrence's face projected ONTO the tornado was such an excellent touch, communicated so much

24:39 She may be a “Great Value Holly Hunter” but Jami Gertz’s husband is literally a billionaire.

OK, let me just say the "funnel dad" joke was a comedy beauty! 🤣😂🤣😂

I saw this in the theater. I tell you what, it was so f-ing intense on the big screen. I didn't realize until recently that the Preacher character (bearded/glasses) was played by one of the suck-up Cop recruits in the first Police Academy movie. I also agree not having Melissa be a problem character, bringing lots of drama, was a great call. She was a professional therapist and handled herself as such. She recognized Bill was still needing to be with Jo and Jo needed him. She did her job, even if it interfered with her own relationship.

You recognized _the Princess Bride Guy_ !!! ❤

In the spring of 1997, when I was in the 6h grade, I was playing in a recreational baseball league. There were only 4 teams (it wasn't a big town, like 4k people). There was an equivalent number of girls' softball teams. The whole league of boys and girls was out there playing games one weekend with a big crowd of spectators. I remember getting hailed on very briefly while playing, and the skies were definitely dark, but it wasn't raining, storming, or big winds. My sister went to the car on her own after my game while me, my dad, and my mom watched the next game. We only stayed for another 20 minutes or so and then went back to the car. My sister was just balling her eyes out in the car, and my mom asked what was wrong, and just then, over the radio, the announcers said there was a tornado coming down right on top of our heads, and anyone at the park (not gonna name it) needed to seek shelter immediately. My family was the only one in the parking lot. There were hundreds of people still in the park. My dad ran back to warn everyone, and my sister started screaming, "We have to save ourselves!" She was pissed at my dad. I remember clearly one of my friend's faces as she jogged past our car with her own family as she looked in to my hysterical sister (she was terrified of storms to begin with, always had been). It was just a look of pure fear and anxiety. I can still picture it clearly. My dad warned everyone, and everyone left. Despite being the first family in the parking lot, we were among the last to actually leave (my dad was a Lt. Col. in the Marine Corps at the time, so he definitely viewed it as his duty to make sure people were safe (he was on leave with us in his hometown, so it wasn't near a Marine Corps Base, and he was actually stationed in Saudi Arabia at the time)). The tornado never came down on the park. In fact, it came down further away out of town... on the highway we would have been on at the time we would have been on it if my dad had decided to abandon all those other people and "save ourselves."

18:15 F5s definitely exist. In fact like 90% of F5s happen in the US. There's actually some great youtube videos about tornados that talk about notable ones. Very interesting stuff.

I saw this at a drive in theater. I gained a crippling anxiety about tornadoes well into my twenties 😂

In honor of the upcoming Twisters, I’m giving you free life advice. NEVER EVER EVER hide underneath an overpass during a storm. That is the worst place to hide and it has killed people. (Also don’t drive with your hazard lights either. If visibility is so bad you need them, pull over or exit the road until it is safe) Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

Bill Paxton died due to complications from surgery in 2017. He is sadly missed. I fear that the CGI in the the new film will turn out to be inferior by comparison to what you just watched.

I miss this era of filmmaking, where they still just threw trucks around and had sparks flying everywhere even as they got into using CGI. Was much more tactile.

I was eight years old when this movie came out and I used to be petrified of tornadoes until I seen this, and it made me not scared of them anymore

It's always a bit weird for me to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman in his younger days, considering how huge his career became. And also, Alan Ruck, who played Cameron Fry in Ferris Bueller's Day off is in this too, which I forget. I don't forget Cary Elwes, "the Princess Bride guy" is in this, but he does look pretty different. His face filled out some (as they do.), and it took me a LONG time to realize it was him in the first "Saw" movie. He's still a good looking man, but Wesley was HOT, cheekbones for DAYS! 💙

Omg this movie TRAUMATIZED me as a kid. When i was young, i had an obsession with tornados and hurricanes just because of the wind and the feeling of being in the wind. When i heard of this movie, i was excited to hear there was a movie about tornados, and I was excited to watch it. That opening scene, though... that freaked me out so much that i had nightmares for weeks about my family being swept up by a tornado. Needless to say, i kind of stopped being less fascinated by tornados/windstorms for a long while.

“Couldn’t your dad have checked it?” I swear I almost peed my pants when you said that

i used to work as a cropduster refueller and loader of the sprays and fertilizers, i said to the pilot one day " man, you skim over those fences with only about 4 feet to spare sometimes" , he replied " i dont like to fly too high as i get vertigo and nose bleeds.." best irony joke ever..

Last year, a tornado destroyed the apartment complex across the street from mine, hopped over my complex, came back down on the other side and kept going. It was horrendous. I felt the pressure as it passed over. Unless you've experienced it, you can't even imagine.

Great movie with some amazing effects that hold up really well. I saw it on a BIG screen in the theatre and it was scary AF. :) I also like that the "new" woman isn't some horrible shrew but a normal nice person who in the end just isn't a good match, and realises it.

Anytime this comes on I watch it, but I'm also terrified of tornadoes and live in Middle Tennessee as well girl. We had a tornado come through the day you mentioned the other day. It was awfully terrifying. I hope you stay safe.

If Ashleigh doesn’t recognize Helen Hunt, that suggests that she really needs to add As Good As it Gets to her list

Your "Great Value Holly Hunter" is Jamie Gertz, who played Star in "The Lost Boys". 😅

In 1997 an F5 tornado ripped through Jarrell TX about 30 miles from me. It took out entire neighborhoods, down to the dirt. No trees, , concrete, pavement, nothing was left. Not a trace a house once sat there.

He only had a couple lines in the flick, but Laurence was played by Jeremy Davies who played Corporal Upham in Saving Private Ryan. :)

Tornado season in Texas, too, though we just got power back at 1:30 am after being slammed with a derecho, I guess? Some kind of baby hurricane that came through bright and early and snapped a bunch of trees and signs and made us wonder if there was a tornado.

Dusty is the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman. RIP

Twister did for tornadoes like The Abyss did for underwater.

Bill Paxton was in the sequel to "Terms of Endearment" called "Evening Star" That one is a tear jerker too.

So much energy in your reaction! Waaayyy much more than mine when I first saw this at the theater back in the day. But then I don't live anywhere close to a tornado alley, so I didn't have that "This could happen to me tomorrow" thing going.

Truly great react Ashleigh! When I was a teen (some 50 years ago) my family tent camped. I recall having trouble finding a campsite until past dusk once, and settling for a campground next to a old cemetery, just as it started to rain. Our family worked together to set upthe tent quickly before the wind and rain got extreme, only to have the tent bow and bulge in strange contortions before unzipping the windows slightly to equalize the pressure and wind flow. Then we heard a roar and the sound of stone slabs hitting others. After a night of pure terror, our tent floor completely flooded, we went out in the morning, to find the damage of a tornado that just missed us, but not the cemetery. Lucky for us, the damaged stone markers and other debris seemed to be thrown away from our flimsy canvas tent. Now, even all these years later, as a retried old guy, I don't mind rainstorms, but if the wind even starts to howl... I just feel a bit of fear sneak in.

My hubby is a weather nerd… he’s signed up with our nearest National Weather Service office as a weather spotter and everything. Thankfully we live in WA, so we don’t see any real tornadoes. But I don’t love when my 6’5” hubby finds the nice tall, open hill to stand on, with his tripod and equipment, to photograph massive lightning storms. Tallest thing out in the open and all. 🙄 He filmed weather and breaking news for several news stations in his early career, and would drop everything to go search out wildfires, happenings at the nearby nuclear power plant, and all sorts of events that made me nervous. If major weather happens somewhere on a weekend, he will stay up late into the night listening to various scanners and watching storm chaser live streams. I don’t get it, but he finds it all fascinating.

I loved how quickly Bill got back into the swing of things. Even though he wanted the divorce papers signed, he couldn’t deny the familiar excitement he felt chasing a tornado.

Who else here misses the Universal Parks Twister experience? I know it was old, but it was amazing and they got rid of it and THEN decided to do a sequel? Missed opportunities.

Meg watching a Judy Garland movie was another subtle nod to Wizard of Oz. I remember coming out of the theatre after seeing this and looking up at the dark, cloudy sky checking for tornadoes. Lol

My daughter and granddaughter live in Greenfield Iowa. They were incredibly lucky, and still have a home to live in. She got home to her girl, spent some time with a friend pulling survivors from the wreckage, and a few bodies. Once the firemen and ambulances arrived, she and my granddaughter packed up and went to a motel because power to the town was out for a few days. Always love ❤️ your reactions. Have a good day.

There is a twister museum in wakita Oklahoma that I ordered replica of those sensors. Love them so much!

Tornados hitting one house and missing the next... it the same with wildfires. After we had the Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado Springs back in 2012, we saw some houses burnt to the foundations, while the house next to it was fine. Weather and Fires are very unpredictable... Also, two of my favorite lines from this were: "Cow!" "Julia, I've got to go, we have cows!" "Another cow!" "Actually, I think that was the same cow..." and "When you told me you chased storms, I always thought it was a metaphor!" Hahaha... All and all, cheesy film, but I loved it! And that is what counts! Not so sure about what to expect from is "sequel" Twisters... 🙄 Some movie sequels (or remakes) should just never be made, imho...

My wife was in the same intersection with the 21 folks that died in the 1989 Huntsville, AL tornado. All she could think as she saw the cone coming was she had to get home to the dog as the topper waggled the truck around as she stomped on the gas. She saw it hit those behind her. I don’t know about now but back then out in Madison county about every 3rd farmhouse had a storm cellar away from the house. You never know. RIP Bill Paxton.

Jami Gertz, Bill Paxton’s fiance in this, is now one of the richest women in American. First time I saw her was as Muffy Tupperman on the short-lived series “Square Pegs,” which starred Sarah Jessica Parker. She went on to numerous supporting/guest star roles on tv & some major films like “Lost Boys” & "Sixteen Candles." Her & her husband are co-owners of the Milwaukee Brewers as well as the owners of the Atlanta Hawks. Her husband is a billionaire. I first saw Helen Hunt in the tv movie "Quarterback Princess" based on the story of Tami Maida who was a junior varsity quarterback on an Oregon football team but also homecoming princess. She continued on tv & slowly transitioned to films. She co-starred with Mel Gibson in "What Women Want," but also co-starred with Jack Nicholson in "As Good as It Gets" with Jack Nicholson....both won the Oscar for it. His character is a bigoted OCD romance author & she's a waitress at the restaurant where he loves to Also eat, mainly because of her. Also has Greg Kinnear & Cuba Gooding Jr. who play the gay artisti & his agent. Oh, & don't worry about animals, especially pets, as they usually don't kill them off...the audience hates that.

The movie "twisters" says its supposed to be like a unrelated sequel but when i read th plot and saw a trailer its basically just a "change the characters, slightly change the storyline" remake/reboot of the original Twister movie.

I was 11 when this one came out. Pretty epic tornado season that year. If i remember, it was the biggest in history (at the time) and that town in Oklahoma got hit 2 more times by record breaking tornados in the next 15 years. I always wanted a dually suburban like the bad guys drive.

"Twister" and "The Abyss" both had the male and female leads in the midst of marital trouble. Just like a lot of Bruce Willis movies have him at odds with his wife.

The number of classic 80s actors in this warms my heart. Bill Paxton (Weird Science), Helen Hunt (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun), Cary Elwes (Princess Bride), Jami Gertz (Lost Boys, Square Pegs), Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller) and then the introduction to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The soundtrack was absolutely stellar. Watching this in the theaters with all my friends was amazing. THX sound just came out and it was intense!

I used to watch this almost every night as a kid, along with Godzilla 1998, and Jurassic Park. Cant believe it never gave me nightmares lol 😂

As a scuba diver, I get a lot of the same comments about people thinking it's crazy, or their worst fear or whatever. Obviously, chasing tornadoes is a lot more dangerous, but people have such extremely different reactions to potentially deadly activities. I find diving very relaxing, but I know some people want the danger for the adrenaline. The only part of this movie's effects that look like they aged poorly are the explosions, like Cary's truck exploding almost inside the tornado, yet the fireball seemed completely unaffected by the wind. It looked like a stock explosion superimposed onto the otherwise realistic tornado footage. Oh, and I think he knew the pipes went 30 feet down because that's where the water table is there.
