Tornado F& - La furia del vento

As a Broadcast Meteorologist, it is my duty to watch any weather disaster movie and give it an honest chance. This was by far the most hysterical disaster film I have ever seen and my sides are killing me. Not even "Sharknado 2" comes close. The scripting was so erroneously written that it is pure comedy for anyone with any meteorological or broadcast TV experience. At the risk of giving them all aneurysms, I highly recommended it to all my professional colleagues. Won't complain about the special effects since I know it was low budget but it added to the comedy. Thank you for this movie.

As bad as it gets. The tornado cgi is the WORST ive ever seen. The graphics look like a 12 year old whipped it up on his laptop. Embarrassingly bad. This movie has NOTHING to do with Christmas at All!!! Horrible ......everything. tornadoes that move 90 miles an hour. Blue skies 2 minutes before a tornado hits , then 2 minutes after it hits and moves on, its blue skies and sun again.. horrendous movie making. Multiple tornadoes hitting every half hour in the same place throughout this movie. How does this crap get made? God awful!!!!!

Perhaps someone should consider renaming this movie as "Christmas Turkey". It's about as flawed as a movie can get.....which pretty much sums up the "Global Warming" lead man. Anyone who lives in the North Central part of Texas will instantly recognize the errors of such things as mountains in Granbury/Dublin. You wonder at the lead character shouting to people leaving a mall asking "have you seen my son?" How would they know who his son is??? A few times he calls out about his son "wearing a Texas shirt", but when he finds him the kid is wearing a striped green shirt. A monster tornado inflicts more damage on the basement of a TV station than it does on the upper floors and a fire on the upper floors somehow causes heavy smoke in the basement! We can see a funnel cloud coming at a male anchor, but his cameraman doesn't see it! This movie is so bad that I became fascinated watching it to see what other glaring errors would pop up next!

OK. I have to admit I did not sit there and suffer through the whole thing like my wife did, but, the amount I did see was bad enough. The fake fire, the (what appeared to be nuclear power plant) in Fort Worth. This movie was just lousy. I don't know where they got the palm trees. I've never seen them here. Also at the tail end (SPOILER ALERT) the main character and his family swimming (in December) in their unheated outdoor pool and running around in bikinis and bathing suits in north Texas. Excuse me. It's never warm enough in December to run around like that and have a cook-out. Anyway if you like B-grade movies with lousy acting etc. go for it.

Christmas Twister 🌪 (2012) is a disaster film currently available on Tubi. The story follows a family that recently moved to Texas. The mother is a local news reporter, and the father is a storm chaser with a tarnished reputation after a failed storm prediction led to an unnecessary town evacuation. When he tries to warn people about an incoming series of devastating storms, no one-including his wife-believes him. But as the storms begin wreaking havoc, it's only a matter of time before everyone takes notice.

Directed by Peter Sullivan (High School Possession), the movie stars Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers), Victoria Pratt (Journey to the Center of the Earth), Richard Burgi (The Green Inferno), and Madelyn Deutch (Bad Company).

This film marks a rare appearance by Casper Van Dien, who hasn't been in many leading roles since Starship Troopers-and it's easy to see why. His performance here is abysmal, and the rest of the cast doesn't fare much better. The script is poorly written, and the delivery of both dialogue and scenarios feels forced and awkward. The twisters lack intensity, though the aftermath scenes depicting destruction are decent. There are a couple of surprisingly good kill scenes, but even that can't save this trainwreck.

Overall, Christmas Twister feels like a low-budget made-for-TV Lifetime movie you'd likely switch off after 15 minutes. I'd rate it 2.5/10 and recommend skipping it.
