- TriviaJames Paxton: The son of Bill Paxton, appears during the rodeo scene as the angry hotel guest.
- GoofsIn the movie, tornadoes kept popping up and catching crowds unaware.
In Oklahoma TV stations compete aggressively to offer the best severe weather coverage. When conditions are right for potential severe each station would have at least three - if not more - teams of trained spotters deployed, a helicopter for each station, and multiple forms of advanced radar to track storms.
While there are a number of amateur, academic and even weather-tourism spotters around, the majority of spotters would be affiliated with television stations, and citizens know to be following weather reports, resulting in significant advanced notice of approaching storms.

Featured review
Twister is an almost three decades older movie yet it has unquestionably superior cinematography, editing, sound editing, surround sound mixing, score and soundtrack. It also has much more creative and visually memorable tornado sequences.
Does Twisters have higher resolution CGI? Yes, the CGI is higher resolution but it's not used right and the quality has barely improved since the one decade older tornado movie "Into The Storm".
There is zero mention of climate change and the human causes of more extreme weather.
There's a rodeo sequence (really?) that could have easily been replaced with some other activity like monster truck show or whatever.
They could have made the tornadoes more dark, ominous and violent like in Twister. It also lacks thrilling shots of crazy debris almost hitting the characters.
The could have made it suspenseful and less predictable by adding and killing off some well developed and likable characters.
High frame rate 3D would have been the appropriate choice for an action movie like this, but they cheaped out..
The budget of Twisters is double the budget of Twister. Unbelievable.
You can clearly tell that it was directed by someone who has no talent or experience with directing action.
Twisters is not a sequel to Twister. It's a pointless re-imagining of Twister.
There would have been a chance for some cinematic magic again if they hired the right people to make a sequel to Twister: Director: James Cameron or Jan De Bont Writers: David Koepp and Anne-Marie Martin.
