actually the movie helped me understand the meaning of tailgating. When I went to a college in US, people used to tail gate a lot and I never understood the meaning or as to why it was called tail gate. But in the movie Bill Paxton said to Helent Hent, open the tail gate. That is the gate at the back of truck. So I understood the meaning of tail gate. Its called tail gate because people used to drive these trucks to campus and open the tail gates and drank the beer and ate the food kept at the back of the truck. Great.

Aww dude!! Lucky you!!! I still have my CAV Laserdisc of Twister and remember when it came out. The TV spot for it made me wanna see it sooooo badly.

I have a few additional facts to add about the film,Twister. As someone from Oklahoma, I’m very happy that this film was made to allow others to see what we experience every year in the Spring, however tornadoes can happen thru out the year, if the conditions are right. I have even seen a pea green sky when I was 14, when a tornado destroyed a nearby town of Union City! Here’s some more interesting facts! 1) The field project sponsored by NOAA and University of Oklahoma did exist under the name TOTO (TOtable TOrnado observatory) This took place during our tornado seasons from 1981-1984. Unfortunately it wasn’t as successful as it was in the film! 2) The town Wakita 24 months prior to filming the movie had grapefruit sized hail, which is believed why it was chosen for the film! 3) The farm that survived the tornado at the end of the movie was actually wiped out by a tornado in 2010. 4) Bill Paxton’s thoughts on a more intense Twister film would have definitely been something to see due to he grew up in Ft. Worth, Texas, which is also in Tornado Alley. I’m sure he experienced going down in the cellar a time or two and saw a tornado’s aftermath first hand. 5) We actually experienced a tornado of that magnitude on May 3 and 4th of the year 1999. Multiple supercell thunderstorms on those two days created 72 tornadoes, which killed 40 people and left 3,300 families homeless! The strongest was an EF-5 that developed by the city of Chickasha. It went thru many towns and cities leaving utter destruction before it dissipated back to the sky. It left a path of devastation for miles and miles, which our governor called for a state of emergency that required the National Guard to be called to protect the damaged neighborhoods from looters. There were many people that had severe injuries, such as a woman that was scalped, but they have recovered and are walking miracles! We have since rebuilt and have actually grown, but anyone who was alive and living in Oklahoma on those days can tell you what they were doing at that time. I hope that my additional facts were of interest to your viewers.

The soundtrack by Van Halen is pretty badass to listen!

Case-in-point, I fell back in love with the VH album when I listened to it on a Bose CD player I was repairing in 2009. I was listening through some great headphones I picked up in 2003 (Sennheiser HD480) and it blew my mind all over again, hearing it through something better than my worn-out 1984 car stereo or weaksauce 1994 GPX CD system in high school.

The movie was fine on its own, but that soundtrack really hit the spot. Part of me wishes there had been a mix of the Van Halen track “Humans Being” which included the score leading into the sequence when we first hear it. Not to mention, the instrumental that Eddie and Alex assembled for the closing credits, “Respect the Wind”, always sent chills up my spine.

This movie along with Independence Day, Daylight, Volcano, The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon and Deep Impact are my favourite disaster movies. Plus the last good Jan de Bont film.

Here's another "Thing You Didn't Know" - the idea for the scene where a tornado demolishes a drive-in movie theater was taken from a real life event. In Southwestern Pennsylvania, there was a drive-In called Spotlight 88. On Friday, May 31, 1985 an F3 tornado (the Enhanced Fujita scale wasn't in effect yet) ripped through it and destroyed it. Nobody was there at the time, but many reporters morbidly predicted how bad it could have been if it had happened just a few hours later when the screens were open.

I live in Mt. Orab Ohio and when I was a very young kid about 4 years old we had a twister go thru our hometown drive in called The Lake drive in and destroyed the entire thing. The remnant were still there up until about 2 years ago when they finished demolishing it to build a really reception hall. As kids we used to sneak into the old drive in and spray paint the walls in the concession booth. Or we'd sneak back there and smoke cigs or have a make out session with our girls.

So here's a small story. I remember watching the Drive in scene with my parents and asking what movie they were watching. They told me all about The Shining, and how scary it was. All I wanted to do was watch that next but i wasn't old enough I guess. But when I finally did, that began my interest in the horror genre! Thanks to Twister 😁

This movie was awesome! I am from Oklahoma and I remember film crews in Western and Northern Oklahoma asking for extras. One of my best friends was an extra in the film. The town of Wakita became a big tourist attraction after the twister blew it away. Another good reason for the movie to be set in Oklahoma is that the University of Oklahoma has the top meteorology school in the nation. When I was there in the mid to late 80's, I met people from other nations wanting to study meteorology. And as a journalism major, I got to do a story for our campus newspaper about storm or tornado chasers. I hung out with them for two spring weekends chasing storms (most storm chasers don't get that close to twisters). Thanks, Minty! Keep up the great work.

I remember being at the grocery store checkout where the person in line behind me was bitching about how fake the special effects were in Twister saying that the idea of a letter envelope couldn't slice wood and get stuck in it like a saw blade like it was shown in the movie. Then the cashier and I looked at each other like this person was crazy. Then I asked where they were from and they said from British Columbia Canada and then I said, I grew up in Oklahoma and said that in Oklahoma gets tornados a lot and the movie did in fact depict accurate special effects. The casher agreed with me since they grew up in Texas. The look of shock on this person's face was priceless. Thought I should share my Twister movie story.

Another significant film that opened the world's eyes to what can happen when a Super Volcanic eruption takes place, everything within miles is Obliterated.

I love this movie. RIP, Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The only thing I really have against this movie is the last sequence when they’re running from the F5 and they strap themselves down. As far as I know, that never would’ve worked in real life. Tornadoes produce incredibly strong winds, and those winds only increase in severity as you go higher on the scale. The wind speeds involved for an F5 are out of this world, and they’d have been killed very quickly.

Fun Facts: The ending of the movie was filmed just outside of Eldora, IA. (Which is in the middle of Iowa). The huge white farm house still stands there for tourists to see. They moved filming up there to keep the corn height appearance the same throughout the movie.

Dusty's hand gestures in the 'food scene' was him signing the word "Food", letter by letter. Those three letters are similar in sign language (especially f and d but it takes very little movement to make an o from either letter). About a thousand people have pointed out the obvious in that they were hungry, but I think Minty's question in the video was more about what the hand gesture was and don't see where anyone else has answered, there you go.

Great look for you Minty!😎Thanks for the awesome review and insight! ❤❤❤❤❤

Growing up in the Midwest US, I remember reading the short story "Night of the Twisters" in grammar school. It was mandatory reading at our school.

Aw man Twister the Bill Paxton cut sounds wicked

I really enjoyed the practical jokes kit review at the end. It reminds me of when I was just a lad and would always see ads for that kind of stuff in the back of comic books. Even at that young age I knew they weren't the amazing products the ads claimed they were. 😄

I literally thought with that jacket you were wearing that we were seeing 10 thing Saturday Night Fever

When I get off the phone I sometimes still tell people "I've gotta go Julia, we've got cows." Some people get it, some don't.

Got that Miami Vice Jacket today....Great movie, just watched this weekend. (I have all of the VHS tapes when my blockbuster closed. Some 1800 movies

I didn’t make it to Blockbuster. Had my own local rental place where I lived. I did get several VHS tapes from them.

Does anybody even use Redbox anymore? I'm just wondering if all video rentals are obsolete yet. I still see them around but I never see anyone use them.

This is insane! I was literally just talking about this movie and then this popped up in my notifications.

Great review Minty. I was stationed with the Army in Oklahoma in 1995 . I remember seeing news that they were filming this movie while I was there. I actually got to see a tornado (twister) in the distance while we were out training on the back side of the Army Post. Everytime I see the movie it reminds me of my time spent there. Thanks for the review.

The VHS edition of Twister had a message from the National Weather Service at the end of it.

The "food food food" thing made more sense to me once you mentioned Joss's involvement. Along with the quippy line of "We require sustenance" That's a total Weadon trait. Now that you revealed his involvement so many of the lines that I loved, totally scream Weadon. Watch Buffy again... you'll see it. :)

I always looked at it as one long Dodge Ram Commercial...

Minty, I’m loving your new threads! You look really good in white.

Still love this movie... I can watch it over and over

My FAVORITE popcorn movie. You're the best!

You forgot to mention that “Dorothy” is based on a real storm chaser tech called T.O.T.O. “Toto” get it.🐶

Born and raised in Fairmont, Minnesota. My older brother and one of my younger brothers went to watch it in the theatre. It was the late afternoon movie. When we walked out of hte building, the tornado sirens were going off. A small tornado touched down north of town in a field with no damage. It happened during the town north of us Truman Days. Could not have written it any better. Absolutley love Twister and lost count how many times I have watched it. RIP Bill Paxton. Such a great actor. Twister, Titanic, True Lies, Terminator and Aliens.

Your practical joke kit review was hilarious!!!!

Digging the new look, Minty! While I would have loved to see Paxton's Jaws-style sequel, the only thing Twister really needed was more Philip Seymour Hoffman!

You should do one on "Bird on a Wire." PS) My favorite part of this movie was the quirky eccentricity of Paxton's team of storm chasers. They're a bunch of badass science nerds, and that's not something you see too often in movies.

oh wow, blast from the past, I had one of those nail thru the finger things... lol love the bonus parts of the vids when Minty opens some fun toy or something.

Keep the vids coming Minty. Loving the simple and entertaining format and the movie choices too!

De Bont claimed that Kubrick would let him use clips from "The Shining", because old Stanley dug "Speed" so much.

Whedon also rewrote Speed as well!😃

My son loved Twister so much. He wore out 2 VHS tapes watching it so much. Finally got a DVD for him. Both of us have copies and Stoll love it. My son was very young when Twister came out

Love this film can watch it again and again i went to the ride at universal was very good

Michael Lee As a kid living in Osage county, I spent a lot of nights in my grandparent’s cellar. (I’m 66) We would run around opening windows & unplugging everything. Then down in the cellar while grandpa stood outside & watched till the last minute. Now, when the siren goes off I walk out on the porch & look up.

Stacie Godwin Wow! You are truly in tornado alley! Take care!

Great movie I bought this on Blu-Ray recently as well an underrated movie which back in the day was great.

Take a shot every time Bill Paxton says "Come on, let's go!"

The "food" chant was a plea to get Helen Hunt to randomly drop in on her Aunt, due to the group wanting to visit her and relive old times with Paxton. Remember, they didn't have cell phones and were closer to that town than the nearest pay phone. So it would be a complete surprise for her (Aunt) to have everyone just show up. Considering her age (Aunt), and that she doesn't usually entertain guests, it was socially uncouth (faux pas) for them to do it. Hence Helen's hesitation.

Hey Minty. I think you forgot one of the most famous Twister rip offs. SHARKNADO!!! ;)

Sharknado is like they combined the movie Jaws and Twister

All Sharknado needed was a shark hunter with an Ahab-complex that could also instinctively read a sharknado's next move and who was in the middle of getting divorced to marry a therapist that had been helping him get over his Navy days' PTSD that revolved around a story about a shark that he saw, "miss this guy and miss that guy and come right after you (him!)"

"Twister blew everyone away" ... BOOOOOOOH! 😋😂

Bill Paxton's death was very tragic. He seemed like such a nice, normal person. Like an uncle you always look forward to seeing during the holidays. And to hear he's gone is incomprehensible.

Thank you bro. Born in 1986 and the videos you pump out is my childhood. 1 millions subs and 1 million views for you!!!

The "food!" part/scene and "cows!" are still the best parts of the film. 😂 Also, RIP Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. 😢💔

Another fact for you.... Twister the first film released on DVD (Well in the UK anyway)... Love your videos man keep it up 👌👍✊✊

A film that I loved viewing as a child. I've been loving these videos! Fun fact about something you mentioned in this video: De Bont's Godzilla film he was working on was actually more like the traditional Godzilla. He was going to fight another Monster. TriStar did not want anything to do with his version because of the intended the potential budget. So, He left the project to go and do other things.

I was honored enough to work the after-premiere party for this movie at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club. Bill Paxton came out during the party just to hang with us nobodies and I got to take my picture with him. I had him sign my my movie flyer "Game Over, Jim!" Truly a great guy and the world is a lot less without him in it.
