This and Volcano were my two comfort nature disaster movies to watch.. Anytime they were on TV (back in the late 90s) I'd stop what I was doing to watch them.
And I've spent that last 30 years telling out-of-staters that no, we don't actually call them "twisters" here. 'Nader or tornadee, sure, but not "twister."
ahh yes my childhood trauma as not long after I watched the movie a tornado nearly hit my house (i was a smol child in midwest and seeing one in person and what it does was scary as fk)
"Who's that playing the hipster doofus?" I wondered. "He's walking away with the movie." Didn't stay for the credits, so I didn't find out until Phillip Seymour Hoffman died.
Got to see this last year at a “4D theater”. Moving seats, wind, water spraying in the face, rain from above, even scents! You could smell grass and even bacon during the breakfast scene! It was awesome!
I don't know about that. I can't get past the whole stupidity of Cary Elwes character having sold out to "big weather" and riding around with his crew in matching black SUVs and uniforms. Did a movie about storm chasers really need a group of villainous storm chasers?
That was a great movie and I still carry a sense of glee that the "sequel" was its own piece that merely used the concept to carry on the legacy with very little of the story.

One of the best terrible movies ever made.

And I saw it in a 1 screen theater in Elroy, WI. I was 7.

I can't get over how bad the sequel was

It's a dumb movie, but I'll fight a mofo who says it's bad.

You know, of game-to-movie adaptations, it probably has the *least* resemblance to its source material.

Love me some practical effects

Still a quite enjoyable movie. Decent acting, decent story, some banger one-liners. Might be time to rewatch.

lousy renditions of tornados, tho

I just remember the E! Channel really played so many promos and trailers for the movie due to the new special effects.
JackDawesLovesmybigwhat
Quite the soundtrack if I remember correctly.

That movie was so unrealistic. At the end with Helen Hunt inside the tornado and not a stitch of clothing came off? Cummon now, throw a dog a bone.

TrumpRapesChildren
Yeah I loved the original and the new one was actually pretty damn food in its own right.
Like it used the OG as inspiration rather than being a pure sequel.
SnakuPlisskin
Yeah, it was- wait, pretty damn what?
Philip Seymour Hofton: "Fud!"

Lol autocorrect. Duck you auto correct.

As someone who saw this in a theater 30 years ago, I feel like the description "Wayback" is a bit unnecessary.
