Trivia:
According to the book on the making of the movie, the CGI cow picked up by the twister sisters was originally a CGI zebra from Jumanji (1995). moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The GOES-8 meteorological satellite shown at the beginning of the film is incorrectly oriented: the onboard sensors should be pointed toward the earth in order for it to function (ie, obtain weather photography), instead, it was shown as facing the audience. In the film, the spacecraft's solar sail boom is shown pointed at the earth, when in fact it should pointed in the general direction of the earth's south pole. moreQuotes:
Bill: Jo. Things go wrong. You can't explain it, you can't predict it. Killing yourself wo'nt bring your dad back. I'm sorry that he died, but that was a long time ago. You gotta move on. Stop living in the past, and look what you got right in front of you.Jo: What are you talking about?
Bill: Me, Jo.

Twister is truly one of the baddest movies I have ever seen. It's so bad that I, seriously, got angry while watching it. Waste of money.
Seems like Hollywood came up with a new nice graphical twister plugin for their expensive silicon gfx machines and thought they would make a movie entirely based on the new special effect.
The constant stream of bad acting (partly due to the horrible script) combined with the never-ending, and totally unrealistic, ways the main characters get out of deadly situations by luck and by using goofy one-liners just makes you want to laugh ... or cry, I don't know.
The worst part must be the compulsory love story in the movie. Totally straight-out-of-the-road and spiced up with some sweet background music that goes right to your heart. Makes you wanna cry.
