Avis à la une
The film has brief moments of attention grab like the disaster sequences, other than that you start to lose your interest in the film after those parts are done. The movie suffers from a slow pace and a plot that is dull.
NYC: Tornado Terror is terrible, I recommend you only watch the film if your expectations are low or if you're watching only for the action.

I caught this on Sky Movies Premiere today, it's a very wet, dull day and there was nothing else on TV so i thought i'd watch this (it got **/***** so i thought it wouldn't be too bad)
Okay, it's cheesy, the special effects are bad, and the Science in the film might be inaccurate but it tells the story in a way that people may believe. If your into big budgets, amazing special effects and big name actors, this is not for you!
It's about a series of tornado's that are set to destroy, guess where.....New York (that city has been through some rough times) and it's up to Cassie and her husband to save the day! I won't spoil the ending like i do in a lot of my reviews, i thought i'd let you (the reader) find out for yourself!
So overall, it's a decent film, nothing special but it's fun none the less.
7/10

Stock, low-budget disaster flick in which the poor Big Apple gets yet another pasting; this time from schools of electrical tornadoes caused by disturbances in the upper atmosphere (due, surprise, surprise, to global warming) that lead emergency crews and weathermen a merry and deadly dance.
Our heroes are Deputy Mayor James Lawrence and his meteorologist wife Cassie, played with suitable gravitas by Sebastian Spence and the lovely Nicole de Boer - definitely the prettiest Trill on Deep Space Nine - who must battle not only the elements but pinheaded bureaucrats (including Lawrence's boss) in order to test Cassie's theory for a solution to the storm gangs.
Strictly rainy day fare. My vote: 4, + 1 for the chance to see Ms. de Boer again.

I genuinely thought this film was a comedy/parody! I had to look it up on IMDb to find out for sure!
This is one seriously funny film (for all the wrong reasons!) It should be shown to all would-be film makers on the first day of class so they know NOT what to do!
The script is terrible and is only made worse by what I can only describe as the kind of acting I expected when I had to endure my kid's school plays! And just when you think it can't get any worse, on comes the Weather Reporter! Never have you wanted an innocent bystander to die more!
Two 'must see' parts of the film – 1) Cassie approaches a victim and asks what happened. She (shaking and shivering) points up at the sky and 2) the part which I'm going to title 'When the dogs disappear'! I wish I could list all the examples. But I'm afraid they would take longer to read than watching the film itself.
This is the kind of film they should show to homeless people just so they know their life could be so much worse (they could have their name in the credits of this movie!)

It is fortuitous that most Canadians look like Americans , and not like say Mexicans ... and most speak almost the same language ... otherwise it would be very difficult to replicate Vancouver as New York !!
This disaster movie is a disaster in itself , and what still puzzles me is that producers keep providing capital for dumb TV movies like this one ... so there must be money in it otherwise no one would risk their cash on a film with the Statue of Liberty' arm and torch (along with spectators) flying off in a "tornado" and landing in a park !
The "New York" mayor looked concerned at the number of fans used to blow people around ... but all that was surely in the cause of artistic reality ... In the end , 2 or 3 people manage to rescue the "situation" , but no one bothered to inform G W Bush of what was going on !
Please don't watch !

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesAlthough it's mentioned by any character, a tornado is measured by its destructive force with the Fujita's Scale. It was named after Tetsuya Fujita, who in 1971 in collaboration with Allan Pearson created a scale to differentiate a twister according the wind speed:
F0: 60-117 km/h or 45-72 mph (light damage).
F1: 117-181 km/h or 73-112 mph (moderate damage).
F2: 181-250 km/h or 113-157 mph (significant damage).
F3: 250-320 km/h or 158-206 mph (severe damage).
F4: 320-420 km/h or 207-260 mph (devastating damage).
F5: 420-510 km/h or 261-308 mph (incredible damage).
F6: 510-610 km/h or 309-379 mph (altough initially Fujita scale have five marks, in 1999 a tornado located in Bridge CreekMoore, Oklahoma, devastated with a force more powerful never seen before. It was the only one F6 registered in history, despite The United States National Weather Service officially maintains that the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado was a F5, not F6).
- GaffesThis is a Canadian film made in Vancouver but is set in the US. One sees many yellow NYC cabs, but in an early shot one sees a building at the front of which flies only a Canadian flag.
