This film is rare among disaster films. It is still very difficult to replicate since it was filmed 23 years ago.

The United States is a country prone to tornadoes. Due to geographical reasons, it is hit by large tornadoes every year. On July 23,

was just hit by a tornado in Massachusetts.

A tornado reaching a speed of 80 miles per hour (approximately 129 kilometers) swept through some coastal areas of Massachusetts, causing serious damage to local hotels and trees.



Interestingly, disaster films occupy an absolutely large share in Hollywood blockbusters each year. From the sky to the underground, all available themes are exhausted, but the tornado-themed films are rare.

The reason for this is that, apart from not being able to find a good script, "Tornado", which was released in 1996, was filmed so well. It is also an important reason that it is difficult to surpass it!

Pigeon has unforgettable the 1996 when the heroes competed, "Independence Day", "Professional Secret Service", "Rock Breaking", "Death Raising", "Evaporation Secret Order", "Space Slam Dunk", "Broken Arrow" "And other high-profile films were released in that year.

and "Tornado" under the name of Industrial Light and Magic to create special effects, it went wild after it was released in May. In the end, the United States received 240 million US dollars at the box office totaling nearly 1.6 billion yuan, ranking second in the annual box office list. Yu Wuyi's stunning masterpiece "Independence Day" ($310 million box office). The


movie is directed by Jan de Bont, the director of "Speed ​​of Life", and the goddess Helen Hunter starred in the diaper man Bill Paxton in "True Lies".



Helen Hunter plays the role of Joan Harding, a female doctor who specializes in tornadoes. She lost her father when she was young because of tornadoes. She has since determined to engage in meteorological research and extend the warning time of tornadoes in order to save thousands. Millions of American people are in trouble.


Joan originally had a husband, Bill, and together they formed a team of chasers. Where there is a tornado, there are them.

But Bill has now fallen out with her, left the team and ran to be a weather anchor, and has a new girlfriend named Marissa Reese, a reproductive psychologist.

The two were like glue and were about to get married, so Bill took Marissa to Oklahoma to find Joan for a divorce agreement.



But usually the protagonist and heroine will have a divorce at the very beginning, it is impossible to be so smooth!

Sure enough, Joan deliberately omitted one of the thick divorce agreement bookmarks, and asked Bill to be anxious, and then attracted him with an artifact called "Doroth".



Originally, "Doroth" was invented according to Bill's idea and was specially used to study tornado equipment. Joan made a total of 4 sets.

Scientists have been studying tornadoes, but they don't understand its mystery, because the internal data of the tornado vortex cannot be measured, and the internal situation is still a mystery.



There are many small balls in Dorothy, which are sensors. Just put them into the power range of the tornado before the tornado, and then open the lid to release the sensor. Once the sensor enters the cyclone, it can be transmitted back. The internal structure information presents the true appearance of the tornado for the first time, and the data such as wind speed, airflow, and angle can be seen at a glance. After unlocking the mystery of the tornado, an early warning system can be designed to extend the current 3-minute warning to 15 minutes, allowing residents more time to evacuate.


Just as Joan and Bill finished explaining the working principle of "Doroth" to Marissa, a tornado arrived.

So Joan took her team to chase the wind, and Bill found that she hadn't signed the divorce agreement, so he had to drive Marissa with them.



Along the way, they met the big villain Joanna Miller's team, Joanna was originally in the same group with Bill, and later he was sponsored and independently formed another team.

and he also stole Bill's design and invented another device called DOT-3. However, this villain has no sense of existence in the movie, just sillyly followed them to set off Bill's brilliance.



Then Bill and Jean drove a "Doroth" to chase the tornado, but in the end they arrived before the "Doroth" tornado could be opened, and the two had to hide under a small wooden bridge.





The tornado sucked up Joan's car, and then the first "Doroth" and Joan's reimbursed car were announced.


Joan put the second Dorothy in Bill's car and drove with Marisa to chase another tornado.



but after arriving at the scene they discovered that it was a double tornado.


"Doroth" arrived before it was opened, and two tornadoes sucked Bill's car into the place to spin around, making Marisa stunned with fright, but fortunately there was no danger.








noon they a pedestrian at Waqi Ta Meg aunt Cengfan, after dinner heard the radio say there is a Class F3 tornado is forming, so we hurriedly hit the road.




When Bill and Joan arrived, the original "Doroth" had been opened, but was hit by a fallen electric pole on the side of the road, and the second "Doroth" was reimbursed. In the end,






Jean died more safely because of the fact that the two of them had been arguing with Bill because of their frequent quarrels.

But they still love each other deeply, don't ask why Pico knows the routine of family carnival movies, that's for sure!


A group of people is at Vachita at nightOvernight in the town. At this time, a super large F5 level tornado was formed and a cleanup was given to the town.



After the storm, Joan and Bill learned that Aunt Meg’s house had also been attacked. They rushed to Aunt Meg’s house and successfully rescued her.


At this time, Marissa was already scared by the tornado, so she came and told Bill that we should break up! I can't live a life of fear and fear with you. Bill also thinks you are right, just break up! good luck! Go well or not! Bye!





When the good movies are here, all the miscellaneous side plots are gone, so let's come to the F5 super dragon!


Bill took Joan, drove his car, and carried the remaining two Dorothy, and hurriedly caught up with the F5 tornado.



The third Dorothy was placed on the road, but it was hit by a tree that fell from the tornado and was reimbursed.





At this time Joanna Miller's team also arrived, but they are villains! So I was swept into the sky by the F5 tornado with people and cars, and they fell to death with people and cars.





Finally, Bill and Joan finally caught up with the F5 tornado sensor in a farm field, and successfully opened the structure of the F5 tornado sensor.





The whole team boiled at this time, but before they had time to celebrate, Tornado and Joan caught up with Bill.




But we don’t have to worry, the protagonist has a halo! The two of

hid in a small wooden house, which happened to have a large water pipe for irrigation, and they tied themselves to the water pipe with belts. When the tornado arrived, the entire wooden house was swept away, but it was not able to swept away two people.



This climax scene has a scene worth blowing, that is, Bill and Jean saw its eyes in the interior of the tornado.

It is said that no one has ever been able to see or photograph the eye of a tornado. This shot was speculated by the production team based on the large amount of tornado data that was consulted. It is similar to the black hole we saw in "Interstellar", Hollywood The scientific and rigorous attitude towards film production is worth learning.

z1After the 1z


tornado, everything returned to calm, and Bill and Jean embraced each other in the warm sun.


"Tornado" was also released in the mainland as an introduction film. At that time, the total number of screens in the mainland was extremely low and it was difficult to find movie theaters in cities below the third tier. It still won a box office score of 54.5 million yuan, which is not easy.

To this day, "Tornado" is still CCTV-6's favorite classic old film, and many post-90s have seen it on TV. The story of the


film is simple and full of routines. The development of the plot knows the ending at the beginning, but the live shooting plus the post-production special effects of Industrial Light and Magic are extremely perfect. Those tornado shots are still thrilling even now.


Although Pigeon remembers the way he peeed his pants when he saw Bill Paxton, the goddess Helen Hunt is so beautiful.

Helen's affectionate eyes when she sees people are really intoxicating, and Pige, who was a student, had no resistance to her.

Therefore, this film is still an indispensable part of Piccolo’s wonderful film memory in the 90s.
