Sorry Helen Hunt committed the only cancelable offense of aging past forty so even though she’s the only main actor still alive from the original, she has been erased from existence
RIP To Billy the Extreme and Dusty his trusty bard.
Remember the time a naked Bill chucked a bottle of Jack Daniel’s into a twister and how it never hits the ground 🌪️
At the time of the first film, scientists were still working on ways take direct measurements within the funnel. Things have changed since then obviously and the new plot involves distripting a tornado in some way.
Is Twister where that’s from?! I’ve been saying this for *years* and I’ve never been able to recall where it originated. Time to give Twister a rewatch!
Hoffman has such lasting energy when he's on screen. You'll find he is these kind of background gem characters in movies all over the place. Never seemed to take the spotlight too hard, but always elevated everyone around into one of their own. He will be missed.
"imminent rueage"
But the one with most longevity for me is Rabbit bitching about finding "Bob's Road". I still break that one out when we are driving in the middle of nowhere.
Why is this truck always stuck in 2nd gear. It hasn't been our day, our month, or even our year butt
Twister be there for youuuu
(When the rain starts to pour)
Twister be there for you
(Like it's been there before)
Twister be there for you
(And I'm there for it tooo)
The way Paxton says "Christ" over and over in that movie is just hilarious to me and my wife for some reason. Big time one-word-movie-quote around our house haha.
They'll have to team up with the smaller twisters they were fighting at the start of the movie to take on the new one.
When they finally win they'll give a knowing nod of respect to the smaller twisters as they walk away, gobbling up a trailer park (but in a nice way, the twisters are nice now).
I hope they include the scene right after they defeat the big twister when the humans and small twisters have a tense stand off before the leaders step forward like they’re going to fight, but they embrace instead.
Can’t wait for the post credits scene where we see a seismometer begin to jump in a lab teasing the beginning of the twisters cinematic universe. Next film Twisters V Earthquake: Dawn of Justice.
Or the smaller twisters get a job in the local water park making whirlpools for the kids. They finally get appreciated and the local community benefits . End credits
They’ll see one in the distance, hiding behind some trees. They’ll get their twister gun ready, and just as they are about to pull the trigger, another one will pop out from the other side
“*Clever girl*”
Roll credits.
It’ll split into two and “surprise” them halfway through the movie, then they’ll learn to harness one with their new nanotech and use it to “counter twist” the other one and save the small town their family is in from destruction.
That truck was brand new in 1996.
The bank won't let you finance a new truck without comprehensive.
Did he buy it outright?
What absolute meme of a human buys a brand new truck for cash outright and gets liability only?
"Liability only, $300 a year, fucking yolo let's do it"
Honestly, they paid someone for this?
Guy on the ground looks freaking massive, because his head is larger than the people “on” the truck (nearer to the camera). And that’s not even mentioning the fact that the two on the truck are standing on nothing. Their feet just sort of disappear behind the hood.
Had to scroll down way too far for someone to point this out. Everyone's making fun of the idea of a Twister sequel and I'm like "is nobody going to say any quips about the shitty photoshop?"
Do you think they'll just keep adding an "S" for each sequel?
Such as:
Twisterss
Twistersss : The Twistering
Twisterssss : Twistered
Twisterssss: Sister Twisters
I watched the trailer for this in an Oklahoma movie theater and people genuinely started laughing at the part when they reveal the plan to stop tornados is by blowing them up with drone bombs.
It is kinda funny with how utterly stupid that idea sounds…and then I quickly sobered up when I remembered that Donald Trump wanted to deploy nuclear weapons into hurricanes to stop them. Brought it up repeatedly.
I only remembered that people that stupid do actually exist, and some of them have climbed the ladder to make that decision.
I saw the second trailer and have some thoughts.
Not a fan of the Hallmark movie level romance of educated city girl and blue collar country guy.
Also the blue collar wanking with the country guy storm chaser made me lol. I don't know why Hollywood feels like they need to bend over backwards to the non-college types sometimes. The most famous storm chaser alive today who regularly drives armored cars into tornados has a [PhD in meteorology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_Timmer) and most chasers have some advanced education background. Maybe LA types just assume anyone who lives in Flyover country are uneducated hicks.
The rodeo scene was fun, drive ins were pretty anachronistic even in the 90s so this is a good update. That one pickup getting sucked up was pretty funny.
> Not a fan of the Hallmark movie level romance of educated city girl and blue collar country guy.
We can only hope the movie takes place during the Christmas tornado season.
It’s the growing trend of rural working class cowboy wannabes and everyone is breaking their necks to jump on the bandwagon. For example, Beyoncé -Texas hold em.
You know I started to write a diatribe about how most of the country does not have a college degree. Plus large proportions of college grads had parents that were not, the United States is a culturally blue collar nation albeit, it is rapidly changing.
But then I realized I hadn’t seen the new trailer and boy they really are pandering to a certain crowd. Pretty egregious
Yeah, it’s so blatant. I’m in agriculture IRL and many of the people up top managing farms and ag operations are college educated from extremely reputable institutions.
Completely agree about the leads. They’re like a parody of blockbuster stars. Bill Paxton & Helen Hunt were average looking actors playing normal people. This kind of casting seems really obsolete.
Twister came out in this sweet spot in the early 90s where there was this wonderful trend in a lot of film and television; Various fields of science were explored, intelligent scientists or engineers as main characters were cool and their passion in their field wasn't the butt of jokes or written off as wasted energy.
Some examples:
Jurassic Park
Sphere
Twister
Seaquest DSV
The Abyss
Apollo 13
Contact (thank you u/Enreni200711 )
Dante's Peak (thank you u/hobbykitjr)
I haven't seen this phenomena pointed out, but it was a pretty unique period, and one of the reasons (I feel) that sequels of these IPs have failed to capture the spirit of the originals, and why I think the sequel to Twister will as well.
it started a disaster trend too with Dante's peak/Volcano the next year... then deep impact/Armageddon ... then even perfect storm, core, to day after tomorrow a few years later
The trailer is so cringe to me. It's like you can feel someone saying "we need a really cool character, like really super duper cool character." And they somehow settled on creating a complete douchenozzle. It's like a 12 year old boys version of "cool".
My wife and I have been together since 1996 and Twister was our first date. When this movie was announced we joked that we would go see it, and probably would have.
But I have seen thw fucking trailer for this movie more than any movie before. I don't know if they were being more aggressive by putting it in front of everything over the last few months, or it's just a coincidence and I'm noticing it more. But I have zero interest in this film now. I feel like I've seen it a billion times.
The one thing I don't like about the trailer is they show the people running to an underpass to shelter from a tornado.
An underpass is more dangerous than being out in the open.
who cares about realism or safety if there's an opportunity for "the cool action shot?" lest we forget the original movie's scene with the two mains strapped to a metal pole INSIDE of a tornado?
The line in the trailer when the two leads are super close to each other talking about some device that could stop a tornado, and she says “we never had a chance” and he says “you want one” then cliche action trailer music hits has got to be the most top tier cringing lines plus delivery I’ve seen in so long. Something about it just made my skin crawl. Idk how these actors do it.
The soundtrack better feature twisting/turning songs ONLY. The trailer needs to have a super slowed down version of You Spin Me Round with a singular piano note to kick it off.
I bet their new technology will fail and they have to use Dorothy( that they found in a barn under some dusty tarp) to measure it.
Helen Hunt is going to walk into the barn and be like “Dorothy, we’re home.”
Somehow Dorothy returned.
Aunt Meg gonna come through with them steaks
Phillip Seymour Hoffman: *"FOOD!!"*
"It's Dorthin time."
I'm Dorthin out!
“We aren’t in Kansas anymore” “Houston we have a problem” “And I’m all out of chewing gum”
Sorry Helen Hunt committed the only cancelable offense of aging past forty so even though she’s the only main actor still alive from the original, she has been erased from existence
Only Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman are dead. Literally the rest of the entire cast is still alive.
>she’s the only main actor still alive from the original :(
But what about Bill Paxton? Oh. But what about Philip Seymour Hoffman? Oh. But what about the rest? The ones I don't remember.
What if Jo’s her mom 👀👀
"This barn's been locked up ever since your father passed..."
overhead
At a 110mph
Finger of god
"And the pipes in here go down 30 feet. Dont forget that"
"They're not going anywhere. Not even in the case of a..." \*tornado siren wails in the distance\*
"Oh, my God. They found me. I don't know how, but they found me. Run for it, Marty!" "Who? Who?" "Who do you think? THE ~~LIBYANS~~ TWISTERS!"
Oh I can almost guarantee
Bill and Jos daughter
RIP Bill
And Dusty. No suck zone lecture in this one, sadly…
RIP To Billy the Extreme and Dusty his trusty bard. Remember the time a naked Bill chucked a bottle of Jack Daniel’s into a twister and how it never hits the ground 🌪️
Butt naked.
Not naked!
Half naked.
“Have a drink.”
Guarantee there’s a relation of some sort!
Dorothy can already be seen in the trailer ...
Then the ghost of Jo helps her activate it and bust the tornado Wait wrong movie
Are they going to continue to pretend like we don’t know how tornados work?
They mention disrupting a tornado, maybe they use Dorothy to measure the effects of whatever they do. Who knows.
Maybe they try to nuke one
I’d send in the troops first.
At the time of the first film, scientists were still working on ways take direct measurements within the funnel. Things have changed since then obviously and the new plot involves distripting a tornado in some way.
If Dorothy saves Glenn Powell's character, do they become friends?
There better be 2 flying cows in this one, otherwise what are we doing here?
Pretty sure thats the same cow again
Knock it off Hudson!
Do you realize it's snowing in my room goddammit!
It’s the future. We need flying bison.
Mmm… bison wings.
There might be a whole chain of restaurants here we could really dip into, sling up some really wild wings
Appa cameo would be sick
Don’t worry I edit movies and I put a herd of them in this one
Of course I’ve herd of them, the guy above you just mentioned them!
I’m sure the tornado is going to hit some sort of tiger zoo or an aquarium or something
Sharks
Friggin sharks with lasers
It's the same cow
Nothing is gonna beat Phillip Seymour Hoffman saying “feewwddd”
We crave sustenance
Is Twister where that’s from?! I’ve been saying this for *years* and I’ve never been able to recall where it originated. Time to give Twister a rewatch!
Tasty cow, Aunt Meg. I use this one a lot for some reason.
Did you see my cows out front?
"No." 😉
I really hope they gave Meg some money. I can't imagine a group that big coming over and eating all my steak.
Megs gravy is famous it's practically a food group
Hoffman has such lasting energy when he's on screen. You'll find he is these kind of background gem characters in movies all over the place. Never seemed to take the spotlight too hard, but always elevated everyone around into one of their own. He will be missed.
"imminent rueage" But the one with most longevity for me is Rabbit bitching about finding "Bob's Road". I still break that one out when we are driving in the middle of nowhere.
Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wiiiissseeee
Trying to find this road....it's like *Bob's Road...*
This is the movie where I learned to roll maps and never fold them.
Kansas is a mess. There's a big crease right through Wichita.
I still use that line to this day.
“…the Suck Zone is where the twister *sucks you up*…”
The suck zone
"WOOOO- HEY YOU GUYYYYS.. **WOOOO**!"
Rest In Peace to one of the all-time greats
IT'S THE WONDER OF NATURE, BABY!
Did you see my cows?
No
oh oohhhh!
*looooooOOOOOOOSERS!*
IT'S THE WONDER OF NATURE, BABY!

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, and there's a tornado on the way
Why is this truck always stuck in 2nd gear. It hasn't been our day, our month, or even our year butt Twister be there for youuuu (When the rain starts to pour) Twister be there for you (Like it's been there before) Twister be there for you (And I'm there for it tooo)
I hate it when it’s not my year butt
THAT’S THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF CLAPS BRO
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Me too
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, you're love life's HOLY SHIT A TORNADO!
It's like you're always stuck in AAAAUUUGGGHHH
"Cow." "Another cow." "It's a moo point."
*Clapclapclapclap*.
[Had some time to kill](https://imgur.com/a/krVpGg1)
Perfect
The twister is back and it’s PISSED
This time it's personal.
you've never seen it miss this house and that house and come after you!
Christ, u/Oysterious...is that what you think it did?!
“I don’t know….” “Jesus Jo why can’t you just forget it?!”
I'm hearing this conversation over the radio and I am devastated 🥺
I’m too busy singing the Oklahoma! soundtrack at the top of my lungs
I'm driving down Bob's road. There's hail. Sent from my Sansui CB radio
Where's he going man? I don't know. I gotta find this road. It's like....Bob's road.
But you're a big girl. You know the way home. Take a couple of cows with you, for Julia.
You can't see it! You can't predict it!!
The way Paxton says "Christ" over and over in that movie is just hilarious to me and my wife for some reason. Big time one-word-movie-quote around our house haha.
Hahaha yep! PG-13 work around for "Fuck"
This guy Twisters.
Maybe it’ll hunt the entire family for revenge like the shark in Jaws 4.
Maybe the tornado will team up with Jaws…
[Twisting the night away](https://youtu.be/zTArYTvpLZA?si=qHKU3npuJVc8pqk4) begins playing ominously... I mean either way it is a bopper for sure.
*In a world...*
I think you're on to something. [Here's](https://youtu.be/FjljYA7irxY?si=AjSPFUfRmriwXdiQ) the original trailer for the sequel.
I bet there will be a really big one at the end and the main characters will have to confront it
They'll have to team up with the smaller twisters they were fighting at the start of the movie to take on the new one. When they finally win they'll give a knowing nod of respect to the smaller twisters as they walk away, gobbling up a trailer park (but in a nice way, the twisters are nice now).
Or they’ll be saved at the end, last minute by the twister from the first movie.
CGI Bill Paxton's face briefly visible in the clouds
"SIIIMBA! Shit, wrong movie."
At least if there was a face in the clouds it would make more sense when the tornadoes roar.
With a tattered banner swirling inside it that passes through the center of the frame just long enough to read "The age of tornadoes"
The heroes are staring at the fabled F6 in tbe movie, then the F5 from first film comes in from the left. Ken Watanabe appears, "Let them fight...".
Maybe the real twister was the friends we made along the way
I hope they include the scene right after they defeat the big twister when the humans and small twisters have a tense stand off before the leaders step forward like they’re going to fight, but they embrace instead.
Can’t wait for the post credits scene where we see a seismometer begin to jump in a lab teasing the beginning of the twisters cinematic universe. Next film Twisters V Earthquake: Dawn of Justice.
If my Pokemon knowledge serves me well the Twister should win because ground type moves have no effect on flying types
“Which Twister is the Alpha?” “I’m the Alpha.” *Ubertwister makes blowing wind noises.* “The Twisters have a new Alpha!”
"They fly now?" "They fly now."
Or the smaller twisters get a job in the local water park making whirlpools for the kids. They finally get appreciated and the local community benefits . End credits
As long as it growls like the Twister from the OG movie
They’ll see one in the distance, hiding behind some trees. They’ll get their twister gun ready, and just as they are about to pull the trigger, another one will pop out from the other side “*Clever girl*” Roll credits.
“Always two twisters there are. No more, no less. A Master and Apprentice”
It’ll split into two and “surprise” them halfway through the movie, then they’ll learn to harness one with their new nanotech and use it to “counter twist” the other one and save the small town their family is in from destruction.
"So who's laying these twister eggs?"
Thjnk he still has liability-only coverage on that Dodge?
How do you even get in?
You should look at this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_Intercept_Vehicle I've seen a similar thing in person it looked like a tank.
Dukes of Hazard style
Bill, she just missed THE TRUCK
That truck was brand new in 1996. The bank won't let you finance a new truck without comprehensive. Did he buy it outright? What absolute meme of a human buys a brand new truck for cash outright and gets liability only? "Liability only, $300 a year, fucking yolo let's do it"
James Cameron walks into the room, picks up a marker and just writes: Twister$
The name is so bad. It’s not like there was only one twister in the first movie.
Twistee - plural
It's not bad. It's better than *Twister 2*.
2wister
2 Twis 2 Ters
the tornado turns into a cloud “they can fly now??”
Can't wait for Twister 3 and Twister Resurrection. Then we can finally have the crossover franchise we always dreamed of: Twister vs. Earthquake
Um, I think you mean Twist3r
Tokyo Twist
Twister Origins: Rise of Wind
Twistnado
Ok, this was way too good
Don’t forget Twister:Origins, where we find out the flying cow from twister 1 was behind everything the whole time…
Twister: Covenant
Twister: The Revenge. A Twister follows the main character all the way down the east coast to try and kill them.
Can we get Michael Caine to star in this movie?
Only if he needs a new house
The crossover should be with Tremors tho, with the twisters throwing graboids in the air
No Country for Old Twisters
I too have Photoshop
Honestly, they paid someone for this? Guy on the ground looks freaking massive, because his head is larger than the people “on” the truck (nearer to the camera). And that’s not even mentioning the fact that the two on the truck are standing on nothing. Their feet just sort of disappear behind the hood.
Had to scroll down way too far for someone to point this out. Everyone's making fun of the idea of a Twister sequel and I'm like "is nobody going to say any quips about the shitty photoshop?"
Take the Ghostbusters Afterlife poster, make some small tweaks, boom Twisters poster.
Love it. Looks like a massive pile of shit. Can't wait to see it opening night.
Do you think they'll just keep adding an "S" for each sequel? Such as: Twisterss Twistersss : The Twistering Twisterssss : Twistered Twisterssss: Sister Twisters
Twister Act
I watched the trailer for this in an Oklahoma movie theater and people genuinely started laughing at the part when they reveal the plan to stop tornados is by blowing them up with drone bombs.

No Helen Hunt in a wet t-shirt? Skip.
This one has the flying cow in a wet t-shirt.
I saw the second trailer and have some thoughts. Not a fan of the Hallmark movie level romance of educated city girl and blue collar country guy.

> Not a fan of the Hallmark movie level romance of educated city girl and blue collar country guy. We can only hope the movie takes place during the Christmas tornado season.
Why do you need fancy technology to study weather? Just shoot fireworks at them.
Why don’t they just nuke the tornado? I’m told it works on hurricanes.
It’s the growing trend of rural working class cowboy wannabes and everyone is breaking their necks to jump on the bandwagon. For example, Beyoncé -Texas hold em.
You know I started to write a diatribe about how most of the country does not have a college degree. Plus large proportions of college grads had parents that were not, the United States is a culturally blue collar nation albeit, it is rapidly changing. But then I realized I hadn’t seen the new trailer and boy they really are pandering to a certain crowd. Pretty egregious
Yeah, it’s so blatant. I’m in agriculture IRL and many of the people up top managing farms and ag operations are college educated from extremely reputable institutions.
Completely agree about the leads. They’re like a parody of blockbuster stars. Bill Paxton & Helen Hunt were average looking actors playing normal people. This kind of casting seems really obsolete.
> and Helen Hunt were average looking actors You are out of your ever lovin' mind
This is going to suck. I just know it.
Twister came out in this sweet spot in the early 90s where there was this wonderful trend in a lot of film and television; Various fields of science were explored, intelligent scientists or engineers as main characters were cool and their passion in their field wasn't the butt of jokes or written off as wasted energy. Some examples: Jurassic Park Sphere Twister Seaquest DSV The Abyss Apollo 13 Contact (thank you u/Enreni200711 ) Dante's Peak (thank you u/hobbykitjr) I haven't seen this phenomena pointed out, but it was a pretty unique period, and one of the reasons (I feel) that sequels of these IPs have failed to capture the spirit of the originals, and why I think the sequel to Twister will as well.
Michael Crichton accounts for half that list. Goodness, I miss him...
it started a disaster trend too with Dante's peak/Volcano the next year... then deep impact/Armageddon ... then even perfect storm, core, to day after tomorrow a few years later
Are we just conveniently forgetting the masterpiece that is *Volcano* here?
Suck like a giant Twister
“It’s the suck zone.”
Call Kenny Loggins to write the song
The trailer is so cringe to me. It's like you can feel someone saying "we need a really cool character, like really super duper cool character." And they somehow settled on creating a complete douchenozzle. It's like a 12 year old boys version of "cool".
I thought from the trailer that we were supposed to hate him. That's why they choose that actor who is entirely too handsome for his own good.
My wife and I have been together since 1996 and Twister was our first date. When this movie was announced we joked that we would go see it, and probably would have. But I have seen thw fucking trailer for this movie more than any movie before. I don't know if they were being more aggressive by putting it in front of everything over the last few months, or it's just a coincidence and I'm noticing it more. But I have zero interest in this film now. I feel like I've seen it a billion times.
Twister 2 : Windy Moogaloo
I’ll just watch videos of the Nebraska and Oklahoma tornadoes from this year for 1.5 hours and save the ticket price.
Hollywood is truly learning no lessons from all their recent flops, huh
Somehow, the twister returned.
The one thing I don't like about the trailer is they show the people running to an underpass to shelter from a tornado. An underpass is more dangerous than being out in the open.
who cares about realism or safety if there's an opportunity for "the cool action shot?" lest we forget the original movie's scene with the two mains strapped to a metal pole INSIDE of a tornado?

Something about it just made my skin crawl. Idk how these actors do it.
Just stop. Stop with the remakes/sequels. That cow has been thoroughly milked and tossed 2 miles down the road.
The fact that this movie exists feels like a bit.
The soundtrack better feature twisting/turning songs ONLY. The trailer needs to have a super slowed down version of You Spin Me Round with a singular piano note to kick it off.
I'm so glad Bill Paxton isn't here to see this...
