Twister/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Danza: Bill Paxton as Bill Harding.
  • Fake American: The very British Cary Elwes as the very southern Jonas, though he's supposed to be from the Midwest and his accent is hard to place.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Led by Patron Saint Bill Paxton.
  • The Red Stapler: Sales of the Dodge Ram pickup nearly doubled thanks to this film, with red quickly becoming that model's most popular color. While Chrysler sold 280,000 Rams in 1995, sales skyrocketed to over 400,000 units in 1996 and stayed that way through 1999.
    • In a variation of this trope, tornado chasers are now popularly characterized as driving red pickup trucks in reference to this film.
  • Too Soon: While not with the film itself, the Universal Studios Florida attraction based on the film was originally slated to open in March 1998, but was pushed back several months out of respect, because in the February of that same year there had been an outbreak of tornadoes in Central Florida that claimed 42 lives and injured 260 others, the deadliest outbreak in Florida history.
