TV Goes TWISTER..., 4 September 2001
6/10
Author: supercell (supercell44@hotmail.com) from Cornwall, England

... And in my humble opinion does a better job of it! Okay, so NIGHT OF THE TWISTERS is a family movie, and it does gloss over the realities a bit. Also, because it's set at night, you don't get to see that much of the tornadoes.

But, for all this, I still like it better than TWISTER. At least the tornadoes in this film are comprised of real footage!
