Hey Twister Fans! We have finally uploaded our Twister Museum video. We see a screen used Jo's Jeep, screen used Dorothy I, meet a couple of the actors from the movie, and see all of the amazing things the museum has collected over the years.

I took a road trip to Wakita 5 years ago, just to see the village up close and personal. I found it fascinating that its real history is very unlike that depicted in the movie: Wakita has never been hit by a twister once in over 100 years. There is something about an ancient Native-American spell cast over the land, shielding it from tornado hits. I saw the museum there but did not go in; it was March, so it wasn't open for the season yet.

The actual tornado that hit the grain silos in the bridge scene occurred on the 14 year anniversary (May 10, 2010) of the release of the movie Twister. It was just one of 42 tornadoes to occur that day. Other tornadoes touched down near Wakita, OK.

“You used to be able to match up the silos and tree line here but an actual tornado came through and took it all out.” As an Okie and Twister lover, I must say, that might be the best description of Oklahoma that I’ve ever heard. A film about chasing tornadoes captures footage of real world locations that will be destroyed by a real tornado within a quarter century of its filming.

I worked Security for several sites in Iowa when filming was here. We provided security over night; I worked 12 hr shifts 7pm to 7am. Two stick out. Pilot Mound, Iowa: Where the hail scene was filmed with Bill in the back of the truck. There was a mile long strip of two lane road blocked off and I drove from end to end each hour or so. The road was "debrised' as if a tornado had come though; very surreal driving that in pitch darkness. Tidbit - one lane of the road had less debris to facilitate travel. Cambridge, Iowa: Where the semi tanker explosion scene was filmed. The fake semi-tractor/tanker (more on that later) was suspended about 25 feet in the air for the drop the next day and pre-wired with 'explosives' - prima-cord only as I recall. I was warned to drive on the opposite side of the road from the setup in case it 'went off', lol. Minor lightening in the area that night - thought for sure I would see a personal show! Didn't happen. The Tractor body was real on a steel cage. The tanker was very thin sheet metal. Tires and wheels were very dense foam and plastic. Next day they blew it - I was at home in bed sleeping...missed it. Next night; I was back as they hadn't cleaned it up yet. I took a mud flap, small section of 'tanker' and a head light assembly as souvenirs. Still have them today.

It was also at this location where the scene was shot where the antennae post/structure went through the windshield impaling the guys. Very interesting rig made for that scene. All on a flatbed to be pulled - truck 'airborne' position and a ram holding the steel structure to punch it through the windshield.

In reference to the scene shot just outside of Ames Iowa where the f5 spared to ranch house, and you see the family coming out of the storm cellar after it passes. My sister in law was supposed to play the part of the ranchers wife, but was sick on the day of shooting and got her friend to fill in for her.

I am not surprised the cafe is gone, it was vacant for many years after, and was a bar for a short period of time. It was pretty run down.

I was there a week ago was sad to see the Cafe gone some of the floor tiles are still there the tire shop in the movie is still there just a different color now and the flag pole in the distance is still there

My brothers loved this film as kids. We rented it at movie rental store and watched it over and over.

I was about 3-4 when this movie came out and almost burned out my parents VCR rewatching it. Still my favorite movie till this day...

Twenty-five years ! What a fabulous advert for the new Dodge Ram truck too ! That truck was the real star. When we got home from our first viewing I told the wife I'm going to get that truck 😅

My fav movie ever.. for several reasons. Thank you for this video!

still my nr.1 movie ever...its just so timeless and fun

Will always be my favorite movie of all time. Thanks for sharing these locations.

This movie gaves me some kind of fascination for tornadoes. I was a kid when i first watched it. I saw Twister dozens of times. Is one of my favourite movies

Twister 🌪️ definitely one of my favorite movies! ( top 10)

I’m here because this was my favorite movie as a kid. Great detective work. 👊🏻

So great that some of the cast were able to make the anniversary. I also sat in on the VFX online panel a few weeks ago. Breakthrough film for both digital artists and atmospheric science majors. It definitely influenced me to become a SKYWARN spotter.

This was one of the most epic weather movies ever made if not the best one! Paxton and Hoffman were incredible and it was surprisingly believable.

This was so well done and it was an excellent walk down memory lane. Like so many others, Twister was one of my favorite films as a kid; I still have my VHS, lol. Thanks for your dedication and hard work.

Love this! I wish they would do a 4K release of this film!

Good job. A lot of fun to chase these down. Tough shoot. Here's a bit of trivia. The sequence that leads your video at the location where Bill tries to get the divorce papers signed was shot on two locations, 10 to 11 months apart. The Oklahoma portion was shot fairly early in the shoot. In the spring of 1996, we did a number of reshoots/additional shots. That scene had significant additional shooting, and that was done in the hills above Simi Valley. A pair of similar trees were picked that could double for the Oklahoma location as long as the shots weren't wide. Being spring time, all the area was very green. The extra work includes Bill hopping up on the pickup to explain Dorothy to Jamie. All the actors were there except Phillip. You'll notice that you only see his character's shoulder in Jamie's shots that were done shot then. Also shot on this day was an expanded version of the final scene when Bill and Helen realize that they have survived the F5, and are sitting in the ruins of the pump house. Notice that it is sunny backlit while the previous shots and final aerial shot done in Iowa are in cloudy weather. The original basic principle crew members were there for this: director Jan DeBont, DP Jack Green, etc.. Now you have to go to Iowa and find the locations there. Stay clear of the suck zone. ;-)

@@GoingtotheMovies We based out of Ames while there. Places to find there: the "beautiful farm" (which was pretty much destroyed) and "hailstorm hill." We returned to Oklahoma for the Guthrie intersection you found, then on to OKC for the crumbling interior of Aunt Meg's house, and the interior of Bill's pickup crashing through the interior of the "rolling" house. IIRC, those were done at the OKC airport. Not sure of my memory on that, though.

This is one of my favorite movies. Thanks for doing this video. This movie got me interested in severe weather and storm chasing. Still chasing to this day when I have time when I’m not working or fishing.

We went out to Wakita and Kaw Lake on our way back to AZ from Indiana last month. I was so excited to see those 2 sites. There are two bridges that technically cross Kaw Lake so it's refreshing that you got on the right one haha I feel like the perspectives of those shots were done exactly as you described. When we got into Wakita it was night time, but we are headed back out there on an unexpected trip in a couple weeks so I'm excited to see it and talk to people about it during the day!

When they were beginning the production their prop folks came to Aimes Iowa to Central Tractor Farm Store and bought 13,000 worth of stuff, in the scene where they walk into the one tool shed and said I dont think so that was all the stuff they bought that day

For the lake/Water spouts scene, the power poles are new, they have been changed to Hendrix constructions. It's an insulated wire used to prevent the wires clashing toghter by trees and wind in storms.

One of my all time favorite guilty pleasure movies. Saw this back when I was 5. My dad brought a bootleg of this home. Obviously the script and characters didn't hold up in various respects, but this is still a film I'll continue to love.

Love this movie. I'm from Oklahoma and drove through this area when I was 17 when the movie was being filmed. Saw the shop/diner sets, they seemed newly painted and out of place. It was before the movie was filmed. I was told it was gonna star Tom Cruise, guess he backed out or Bill Paxton got the part. Maybe it was just bad info. Weird to see them so long gone, still a fresh memory in my head.
