What's left behind the scenes
- A Boeing 707 engine was used to generate wind for some scenes.
- Slowed-down recordings of a camel's sound were used as the sound of a tornado.
- The Stanley Kubrick film 'The Shining' is playing in the cinema. The researchers who are carried away by the tornado with the car are named Stanley and Kubrick.
- At Aunt Meg's house, the 1954 film 'A Star is Born,' starring Judy Garland, is on television. Judy played the role of Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939), which also features a tornado scene.
- Little Joe's dog is the same breed as Toto from 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939).
- The tornado researchers in the film use a device called "Dorothy," but in reality, the device was named "T.O.T.O."
- In one scene, a power line pole falls on Bill’s car and overturns "Dorothy II." But after a short time, Bill and Jo get into the car and drive away. There is no pole to be seen anymore.
- A Boeing 707 engine was used to generate wind in some scenes.
- Surround sound speakers were breaking in cinemas due to the volume of the sound.
- Eight blocks of the old city center were purchased in Wakita, Oklahoma, for filming, with each surviving building appraised at between $7,000 and $10,000. These buildings, along with an additional 30 houses built for the film, were destroyed by a simulated tornado. Municipal authorities subsequently rebuilt the city center, and a new fire truck purchased for filming remained on the city's books.
- Tom Hanks was initially considered for the role of Bill Harding. He attended script read-throughs and helped with selecting his character's wardrobe, but ultimately left the project, stating that “it wasn’t for him.” While filming “Apollo 13,” Hanks decided that his co-star Bill Paxton would be perfect in the role of Harding in “Twister.”
- After Bill Paxton's death in 2017, the Spotter Network monitoring system honored his memory with a flash mob involving 200 storm chasers, who formed the letters BP in the sky.
- Bill Paxton met Steven Spielberg only a year and a half after finishing work on the film. According to the actor, Spielberg thanked him for earning him “a lot of money.”
- The cow carried away by the tornado, created using computer technology, was originally a digital zebra in the film “Jumanji.”
- Sunny days turned out to be a problem during filming, as it was impossible to make the sky look gloomy. The solution was found in using high-powered lighting, which emphasized the contrast of the image. As a result, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton suffered minor retinal burns.
- During the filming of the scene where the truck drives through the cornfield, Helen Hunt sustained a head injury from hitting the car door. When filming subsequent takes of the same scene, the truck door was simply jammed in the correct position.
- According to Jan de Bont, he later regretted deciding to film hail, due to the complexity of organizing such shoots. Ice of the required size could not be found in Oklahoma and had to be brought in from other states. To create the hailstones, water was frozen with milk – this made the hail look better on film.
- The film was originally shot as an R-rated project. During post-production, the film was edited for a PG-13 rating, resulting in some scenes with Cary Elwes and Philip Seymour Hoffman being cut. Swearing was also removed from other scenes to lower the rating.
- Jan de Bont agreed to direct the film because, given the rapid development of computer technology in the 1990s, he saw this project as perhaps his last chance to make a film with practical effects.
- Jan de Bont didn't want to work with famous actors because of their whims and star power. According to the director, Helen Hunt was the most difficult. He wanted to cast her because she was a strong personality capable of leading, and he likened the actress's nature to a tornado. However, the studio executives weren't so sure about his choice (Hunt was primarily known to audiences as a sitcom actress), and de Bont was forced to announce additional auditions. The director said this put him in an awkward position, as he had to turn down every actress who auditioned and tell them he'd already decided to cast Hunt, then report back to the studio that none of the auditioning actresses were suitable.
- The sound made by the 'Dorothy' device is a combination of the sounds of police, fire, and ambulance sirens.
- The oil tanker explosion happened off schedule, and they didn't have time to film it. Director Jan de Bont decided not to tell the studio (at least, not right away), and the stunt was repeated in front of the camera.
- The scene of farm equipment falling around the main characters was filmed by suspending aluminum mock-ups of the equipment on cables lowered from army helicopters and dropping them at the right moment. A red pickup truck then drove through the falling equipment, and the director, Jan de Bont, filmed the scene from the passenger seat. He didn't want to endanger the crew or the equipment, so some of the falling structures were added using computer graphics. When one of the objects accidentally hit the pickup truck, the director decided to leave it in the film.
- The Stanley Kubrick film "The Shining" is being shown in cinemas. The researchers swept away with the car by a tornado are named Stanley and Kubrick.
- Initially, Tom Hanks was considered for the role of Bill Harding. He attended script read-throughs, helped choose the wardrobe for his character, but eventually left the project, stating that “it wasn’t for him.” While filming "Apollo 13", Hanks decided that his co-star Bill Paxton would be perfect in the role of his character in "Twister".
