    It was a 'fun' movie but not a great movie. It was silly. Made no sense - and anyone that is 'offended' by this review needs to grow a sense of humour, get off the med's and preferably not watch these clips anymore. You dont get it - never will get it - and are probably the same kind that cried when Rifftrax riffed The Dark Knight!!!

    Ahhh.... Nostalgia Critic. You make insomnia worthwhile.

    I'm with you, man. Insomnia is no fun, unless you're actually doing something fun with the energy you shouldn't have this time of day, like watching videos. :P

    My Teacher in the 5th grade hated this move since it wasn't accurate. Like how the pipe could resist the tornado.
  • CurseYouPikachu  - I agree.
    Simply put, if the tornado can THROW A HOUSE at you, the pipes are doomed.
    Dx

    Awesome review, Doug-san!

    If your house has wheels.... drive it away from an area known for Twisters that can pick it up and smash it like a twig. Also, if you have a bunch of money, don't buy a mansion in a place that is known for fires and mud slides... WHY MALIBU WHY!?!

    If your house has wheels, it doesnt matter where you go. The tornado WILL find you. Its in its nature.

    God I loved this movie when I was a kid....I used to be a fucking idiot.

    Still, this movie has a couple of decent moments but those are thanks to Joss Whedon
  • FAILincorporated
    For some reason I remember being scared of this when I first saw it years after it's release... A.K.A. Yesterday :O

    Not even Burger King mascot can save you from this atrocity :C

    I am now glad I never had the chance to see this movie (no matter how much my five-eight-year-old self wanted to).
  • dh88274
    first helen hunter is NOT hot. 2nd this movie sucks I watched it once and never wanted to see it again...and I was 7. I would watch anything when i was 7. I hate the movie so much I dont even want to what this vid.

    Seeing how you've done Godzilla and now this, perhaps an Armageddon review is coming soon? I loved the movie but I'd like to see your take on it.

    No. The Nostalgia Chick did that.
  • The Luke  - Great
    wow i waited a long time for this one finally its here :cheer:
  • Majora1988
    You know, I liked this movie when it came out, but looking back at it...it was pretty stupid. Special Effects addled my brain.

    Great video as always Doug.
  • LUrabbi  - I have to say...
    I thought this review started out a little slow, but it really picked up around the 5 minute mark. Everything with the Burger King was hilarious, and the Dr. Claw voice at the end was awesome.

    Still, I always kind of liked Twister, if only for the flying cow scene and the hotness that is Helen Hunt.

    ...We´re doing reviews for the reviews now? Lol.

    I am SO glad you pointed out that retarded "Is there an F5?" scene. For some reason that sticks out the most.

    Is that not the most logical question you would ask when discussing the Fujita scale? Why the fuck does everyone gasp as if she just called his aunt a hooker and set fire to a crucifix?

    Your reaction was on the mark.

    As a kid I was way into weather and tornadoes, knew that DOROTHY is based on an actual machine called "TOTO" (TOtable Tornado Observer) An entire plot revolving over who would get to use a "revolutionary" piece of equipment was completely ridiculous to me, considering the machine had been around for years.

    Oh yeah, and it didn't fucking work.
  • NeonLights
    Good god, I remember watching this movie frequently back when it came out, though I never understood why...

    Lesson learned, in the event of a natural disaster, soda will be your savior.
  • tomthedestroyer
    My parents always talked about how great this movie was...
    I can clearly see that they were wrong.

  • CMWaters  - Hmm.
    No mention of the fact that they actually show a clip from a Bugs Bunny and Taz cartoon before the movie to get everyone's hopes up?

    I only saw this movie on a bus going to a Boy Scout trip...fell asleep about halfway through it. Looks like I wasn't missing much.
  • Kerf
    Awesome review as always!

    I remember watching this crappy movie in theatre and having everyone shune me for cracking up at the horrible effects of the guy getting sucked into the twister in the begining of the movie.

    and i was like "What!? that was funny!"

    Well either way im glad you tore this movie a new asshole and proved everyone elses wrong ;)

    Also loved the part when you threw ozzy osbourne into it and did the voice ;)
  • Lotus Prince
    Fantastic video! I'd only like to point out one thing.

    To be fair to the characters, the center of a tornado is supposed to be surprisingly calm, so the people probably actually could have kept their eyes open at the center. That is, of course, after the should have gotten their bones shattered by the outside of the tornado. And then again, when the other side hits them.
  • dfeatthedarkness  - Thank you!
    Thank you for doing my favorite movie! You did a GREAT job!

    Also, when this movie first came out, I didn't like it, but just because it was boring. I mean, this was a boring movie. The Nostalgia Critic basically showed a tornado montage here, because those parts were the only parts worth watching, but in reality, this movie was nothing and more nothing, with just enough tornadoes in between to keep you awake.
  • Fudge2Good4U  - ...
    My thoughts exactly.
  • legendofganon
    1:43 It's a Nintendo DS!

    Loved the Ozzy part! LOL
  • CurseYouPikachu  - ROFLDS.

    That's what DS's looked like BACK IN MY DAY.
    Also, no color or backlighting. |D
  • Erinaceus  - About That Bridge...
    ... That rickety old bridge they hid under during the first tornado. There is a myth that, in spite of the best efforts of meteorologists to educate and inform us, is still perpetuated to this day that bridges are safe to hide under in a tornado.

    I think the National Weather Service realized the stupidity of having the tornado-grading system be the same as the command functions of a qwerty keyboard... so they recently reworked the scale. It's now [b]E[/b]F-1, [b]E[/b]F-2 and so forth.

    Most kids aspire to be policemen, firefighters, or sports stars. I wanted to be, no lie, a weatherman, and as an aspiring weatherman in my youth, though impressed I was with the special effects, I found this film to be as implausible as microwaving popcorn with a cellphone. It's a decent popcorn flick, but any movie that involves launching cat toys into 250+ mph winds as its backbone is not going to make anyone's top 10 favorites list.
  • Guitarhero1000

    Well said. I need a few of those cat toys for my cat though. My cat would chase them thru a tornado, and it would be funny. Like... youtube funny!
  • Sheranda  - The review didn't answer these questions.

    "How many Bill Paxtons does it take to slam your head against the wall?"

    I guess it depends on what kind of person you are. For me, that would be three Bills, one for each movie I saw.

    "When did the special effects of tornadoes take over the special effects of storytelling?"

    I think that's rhetorical.

    "Is that Daniel from Lost?"

    Yes. I don't watch the show, so I did research.
  • DigiRanma
    I liked this movie the first time I saw it.

    Yeah, I was stupid.

    Keep 'em coming NC.
