When Bill Paxton passed, a larger number of storm chasers either went to their designated site or just set their GPS markers all across Tornado Alley to spell out his initials as a tribute. The initials were large enough to cover parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.

@kriscynical Год назад

Just to elaborate for other people, the GPS markers for storm chasers are registered with an organization called Spotter Network. My sister is SkyWarn certified and registered with Spotter Network herself so she has access to Spotter Network chaser locations within the RadarScope app on her phone. Each chaser shows up as a dot on the map, so chasers will arrange themselves to form initials in honor of fallen brethren, so to speak. They did the same for Tim Samaras and his team when they were killed in the El Reno tornado, which is still the largest tornado ever recorded. Off the top of my head I believe it was 2.5 miles wide. It was a tragic loss.

@ghstdnsr Год назад

Fun fact: The "Dorothy" and "D.O.T. 3" equipment in the movie is based on an actual project called "Toto" that works exactly the same way as described in the film. Thanks to "Toto", we now know a lot more about the wind dynamics of tornadoes, how they develop and move than was previously known.

@israymervalentin-arias6313 Год назад

And Toto is beautiful as well

@anthonyzarate9807 Год назад

My brain is not as sharp as it used to be but didn't Josh Wurman or the late great Tim Samaras come up with this idea, or engineer it at the very least?

@mnomadvfx Год назад

Your information is incomplete to say the least. TOTO (or 'TOtable Tornado Observatory') was designed for that purpose, but it was never successfully deployed as a tornado measuring instrument pack. From the Wikipedia article: "TOTO was deployed several times during the 1980s. The closest deployment to a tornado was on April 29, 1985 near Ardmore, Oklahoma, by Steve Smith and Lou Wicker of the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). It turned out that TOTO had a center of gravity too high for extreme wind, and it fell down as it was sideswiped by the edge of the weak tornado." "TOTO was also deployed as a portable weather station to measure thunderstorm gust fronts and non-tornadic mesocyclones-with more success than its tornado mission. TOTO was retired after 1987 because of safety issues and the logistical difficulty of getting such a cumbersome object in front of a tornado." "TOTO is currently on display at the National Weather Center (NWC) on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma." A later research project called VORTEX began only 2 years before the release of the film Twister in 1994-1995, and was likely the main catalyst for Twister's production. A later expanded VORTEX2 project made further studies with more advanced instrumentation from 2009-2010. The intended outcome of VORTEX is basically the same as the aim of Dorothy/DOT3 in Twister - only in the case of VORTEX instead of a single instrument pack sent into the tornado they used multiple separate measuring instrument laden vans in close proximity to tornado paths.

@TonyP7007 Год назад

I've always enjoyed the fact that Melissa wasn't framed as a villain, which is nice to see in a screenplay. They could have easily made her manipulative but instead they found a way to create a situation where it feels more realistic.

@mcgilj1 Год назад

I'm guessing that may have been in part Anne Marie Martin (Crichton's wife at the time who worked with him on the script.. She was an actress herself in the cult classic TV series "Sledge Hammer!").

@michaelccozens Год назад

I noticed that too. It's such a cliche to have rivalries, particularly romantic ones and particularly between women, be very "villain/hero", not to mention hugely toxic (and usually, if it's between women, very misogynistic). It was cool to see people handle an awkward but realistic situation in a mature, constructive sort of manner. Also made sense with Melissa's character, given that she's a therapist. They never entirely explain why Jo and Bill divorced, aside from his mention of her obsession, but I think Bill's storied past as a thrill-seeker may have played a part. I think he may have recognized his self-destructive pattern and wanted to establish healthier habits (Melissa's status as a therapist, though (hopefully) not his, might indicate an intimacy of understanding/processing that could have been mistaken for romantic infatuation, although you'd hope a therapist might clock that). How that will play-out with Jo's still-largely-unaddressed extreme behaviours is an open question, but giving us a "they're gonna try again" rather than a "happily ever after" felt more realistic and less fairy-tale-ish as an ending.

@Johnny_Socko Год назад

I've always appreciated that too. At first it doesn't bode well when they bring her in as a comic relief, fish-out-of-water character, but then she surprises you by being the most mature one. And I think Jamie Gertz' performance had a lot to do with giving that character her dignity.

Her sincerity is so real. The end of cast away is another film where she breaks my heart.

Twister is an underrated gem that I think initially suffered from poor marketing. They sold it as a scary suspenseful disaster movie like Jurassic Park with tornadoes, when it was actually a quirky romantic comedy / road trip adventure film that just happened to have scary tornado action as a backdrop. I remember first watching it and being pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it as I didn't think tornadoes would be an especially good "villain" for a disaster movie - there's just not much you can do with them to create a sustained sense of danger. But watching the characters drive around Oklahoma like lunatics as Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt are bickering while things are getting destroyed with an awesome sound track in the background was more fun than I expected.

@David-qi1ys Год назад

"Suffered from poor marketing"???? What were you living under a rock in 1996? Or is today Opposite Day? It wasn't even a sleeper hit. It had the sixth biggest opening of alltime (at that point) and was the second biggest grossing film of '96 only after Independence Day, beating Mission Impossible. Within 3 months it overtook The Empire Strikes Back. It was the very definition of a summer blockbuster. If that's what suffering from poor marketing looks like, every movie studio in the world will be applying for BDSM classes screaming "Hurt me, baby! Hurt me!"

@David-qi1ys Год назад

@@rttoonist4275 Be that as it may, the remark that it "initially suffered from poor marketing" remains nonsensical. Films aren't really marketed past the home release. But on the point I suppose now you were trying to make; yes. It didn't make a long term stamp on public perception because it really didn't earn it. It was a spectacle film, a popcorn flick. It was outdone by bigger disaster films in the years immediately following. Of which, Armageddon is typically seen as the biggest. Although many, myself included, have soft spots for disaster movies, they don't hold up the same way. Even as a casual critic, you can't help but notice what terribly stupid decisions characters in this movie are making. Walking out of shelter into a tornado because "I want to see it!", ignoring very obvious sound advice resulting in death because of a rivalry, Paxton and his fiance's entire relationship (not having the slightest clue what the Fujita scale is being engaged to a storm chaser is like being married to a welder having never heard the word "arc") and their super casual falling out. Why were they together in the first place let alone engaged?? So silly. Airport was a monster hit when it came out in '70, but PiB, like most reactors, will likely never see it despite having seen it's spoof Airplane!. Adjusting for inflation Airport outgrossed Airplane! by more than double. I'd say at least 20% of the comedy is lost without having seen the original (an insane guess to try to quantify, but 🤷‍♂). Rinse and repeat with countless others from The Towering Inferno to the multiple Poisedon Adventures. To anyone who gets great enjoyment, great, but the public moves on because the rewatchability of many of these is quite low for most. I enjoyed going back to this after over a quarter century to see a young Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Other than that... yeah, there wasn't much to revisit, though I did chuckle at the apparently mandatory "save the dog" moment.

@elessartelcontar9415 4 месяца назад

No, that is completely wrong. Wakita is a town in Grant County, Oklahoma, United States, approximately 8 miles south of the Kansas border. Its population was 344 at the 2010 census, a decrease of 18.1 percent (from 420) at the 2000 census. Before the town's founding in 1898, there was a dispute over the right to name the town. The town's postmaster, and the owner of the first general store, and the town's first postmaster, believed it should be named Whiteville. Local Deputy U.S. Marshall Herbert John Green motioned for the town be named after a Cherokee chief of local significance named Wakita (pronounced Wok-ih-taw). Green and other local settlers wanted to name the town in the chief's honor because of a protective spell cast by the chief's tribe to protect the area around the town, between Crooked Creek and Pond Creek, from tornadoes for 100 years. The name was also favored because of a battle that had occurred in the area under the leadership of this chief. Wakita was selected as a filming location for the Hollywood blockbuster Twister (1996). In the film, the town is referred to by name, and the water tower bearing its name is shown.

Lived in Oklahoma for most of my childhood, and I can confirm that tornadoes do sound like roaring animals as they approach, but go entirely silent after they've passed. It's scary but mesmerizing. People wanna make fun of this movie but the director and production crew actually went to great lengths to make it a lot more accurate than the studio intended. Like how they filmed (a large chunk) of the movie in Oklahoma, and included a very famous Okie meteorologist (in a cameo) during the drive-in scene.

@4325air Год назад

Hey there to another Okie! Spent time as a kid with my grandparents in the Sinclair oil field between Covington and Garber in the 1950s. (Later, my family lived in Enid for a year. We had a shelter under the concrete patio. Must have been a ba-zillion jars of canned veggies and fruit! Can't imagine folks living out there without a home shelter.) There were six families that lived right at the plant in wood-frame "company houses." When the siren went off, all the families and the plant workers on that shift would assemble on the roof of the underground community activity center, which doubled as a tornado shelter. It was a really tight-knit group of folks, just like everyone was family. Shared experience and danger. We would sit on the earthen roof, look to the south-west, and watch the tornado dipping down in the distance. That prairie was so flat, we could see forever. If it started to get too close, we would mosey downstairs and secure the door. When all-clear, we wandered back to the house, grandma started the next meal, and grandpa and his shift walked across the dirt road to he plant and started up the machinery again. Just another day in Oklahoma, hardly worth discussing... As a kid, I thought it was all exciting and fascinating--didn't comprehend the tragedy tornadoes would cause. At night, though, hearing the wind in the cottonwood trees, the flashes of lighting, and the clouds, and the howling siren, it was indeed super-scary....just like in this movie when the lightning revealed the twister behind the drive-in movie screen. My parents and grandparents wrapped us in blankets and hustled us--quickly--through the wind and rain and pitch-darkness to the community cellar. Bad flashbacks!!! Go, 'Pokes!

@continuallyblessed44 Год назад

Another Okie here and this movie actually made me facepalm. I guess it was hard for me to suspend my disbelief. The entire movie I kept thinking “yeah right they’d be dead or seriously injured” so many times that it ruined the goofy fun for me. Now that I’m older I can appreciate it more.

I live in Texas, where one of the most powerful tornadoes ever hit Jarrell, Texas. The details of destruction that tornado did is absolutely terrifying. It was a slow moving F-5 that absolutely rendered all known tornado safety precautions outside of evacuating or sheltering in a basement/storm cellar obsolete. It wiped clean houses down to where only the concrete foundation remained. Even vehicles were destroyed beyond recognition. And the people and animals killed by it... those horrifying details to what that tornado did to them are best not said.

Off in the distance I could see what was left of the hospital. Before, you wouldn't have been able to see the hospital unless you were near it, but that day there was nothing left between it and where I was standing.

There were no bushes, fences - nothing. Even the ground was scoured clean of grass. Truly terrifying damage.

28:49 The scariest part of a tornado, as I’ve observed, is that there can be a tornado 12 blocks from your house, and you can be outside, looking towards that direction, and hear and see nothing. No rain, no wind, no roar, no hail. The cone of silence. This is from personal observations when a tornado ripped AC units off of the mall 12 blocks from my house. Just checked the distance according to my phone’s map, and it’s .9 miles by car from my house to the mall. I’ve been inside two tornados, 12 blocks from one, and had a tornado blow out my van’s rear windshield (ironic that the shield broke from the wind) while it was in the shop, and I’ve still never actually seen a tornado in person. Once, all I saw was rain and pitch darkness at night, to the point I couldn’t see my headlights anymore, and the other time I was in one, I avoided the windows once the house started shaking.

@toob1979 Год назад

I've always feared storms, especially tornadoes. As I got older, the way I dealt with my fears was to learn more about them. That's why I'm so fond of _Twister._ There's a storm chaser named Pecos Hank who has the best RU-vid channel of all the chasers. He clearly not only loves all weather phenomena, but he's also a huge animal lover. Even when he doesn't see a tornado, he makes great videos. A lot of the "science" in this movie isn't real, but the twisters are well-rendered. One of the things that is real is there have been super outbreaks of tornadoes which have spawned dozens of funnel clouds and destructive twisters. The most infamous of them is the April 3-4, 1974 super-outbreak. Over those 2 days, 148 tornadoes formed in 13 states, stretching all the way into Canada. Thirty of them were considered violent, including six F5 tornadoes. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was great as Dusty. He's a goofball, but when things get serious, he steps up his game. My favorite scenes are the nighttime twister and going back to Wakita to rescue Meg. Of all the tornadoes in the movie, that's the one they weren't looking for, but found them. The danger to the whole storm chasing team seemed more personal. They lost a car, one of the guys almost had the top of his head taken off by a flying hubcap and Meg and Mose barely escaped their collapsing house. The love triangle felt forced, but I forgive it because of cool tornadoes. It's great to see Cassie and Carly side-by-side again. If you get scared by _Twister,_ remember that if you don't live in the heart of Tornado Alley, you're unlikely to ever see one in person. Also, meteorology has never been better at predicting, tracking and warning people of violent weather.

And another named Eric Rasmussen was doing very similar stuff to what is seen in this movie. (I think they consulted him.) Definitely huge fan service for major tornado nerds.

@fakecubed Год назад

I've thankfully never seen a tornado, although I've apparently been near a few small ones without realizing it. Where I live, the natural disasters are ordinary thunderstorms and blizzards, and the occasional remnant of a hurricane after it's lost most of its strength. I remember being a child and being afraid of thunder and lightning, and I also remember having lost that fear. I've now been near a couple very close strikes, less than 25 or 30 yards. It's rather exhilarating to know how close it was, to hear the boom at the same exact time as the flash.

Others have mentioned much of what Helen Hunt was in but also, she was Tom Hanks fiancé in "Castaway." And Jeremy Davies, on their chase team, was Upham in "Saving Private Ryan." One of my favorite Bill Paston movies is "Apollo 13", especially w/Hanks and Sinise as well/ I grew up on the prairie of Osage County, Oklahoma and spent some time in "'fraidy holes" as the cellars were sometimes called. They were also a place where we stored our canned vegetables, etc. We lost our house and buildings to a tornado. People sometimes take vacations to do ride-alongs with storm chasers. But I doubt either of you will try that. :-) The early parts shown where they first meet up were filmed on a ranch near my hometown, and some folks were on horses moving the cattle around in the background. Everybody local who worked with them thought Bill was great - just a good fun-loving guy who spent time with them telling stories. As for Helen Hunt - not so much! The town of Wakita, OK was used as the destroyed town, and now has a museum about it. It was trashed, then cleaned up after. The National Weather Service is located on the University of Oklahoma campus to combine Federal and academic research capabilities, as well as train meteorologists. Data from actual storm chasers is important for research.
