Playing the storm chaser Bill Harding, Bill Paxton was right in the middle of the original’sbest storm-chasing scenes.
He even specifically addressed how he wanted to direct a sequel toTwisterhimself.
Paxton opined:
Ive always felt like there was a Jaws version of that movie.
I always felt like we did the Pepsi Lite version of that movie.
That single massive tornado lasted almost four hours, ranged well over 200 miles and killed nearly 700 people.

In Twister, Bill and Jo Harding, advanced storm chasers on the brink of divorce, must join together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes. Jo’s childhood was stricken by the trauma of losing her father to a deadly F5 tornado, setting her on the path of a storm chaser. Having developed a new technology with her team named “Dorothy,” Jo seeks to make Tornadoes more predictable to give people a chance to make it to safety. Jo’s obsession created a rift between her husband, but new breakthroughs may bring them back together as the two pursue their greatest challenge yet - an incoming system that will produce yet another F5.
