TWISTER (1996)
Dusty: "Jo, Bill, it's coming! It's headed right for us!"
Bill: "It's already here!"
Speed director Jan De Bont unleashes another maelstrom of action with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton as estranged married meteorologists who reunite to chase tornadoes across the American Midwest.
Writer Michael Crichton adds a human edge in the form of rival researcher Cary Elwes and there's sardonic support from a youthful Philip Seymour Hoffman, but this is all about the colossal special effects. Flying cows - awesome!
The ever-resourceful De Bont used a a jet engine from a Boeing 707 to generate lethal gusts of wind while - bizarrely - a recording of a camel's moan was slowed down and used as the sound of the tornado.
