Tornados
I had a strange dream about tornados. Very "twister"-esque. So I started thinking about the movie, and as much as I like the movie, the ending bugs me. OK so there is this Colossal f5 tornado that picked up a semi, a barn full of cutting implements, a bunch of trees, cows, and who knows what else. Do you honestly think a lousy leather strap is going to stop you from being sucked up?
Lets just suppose that the strap does hold, wouldn't the force of the winds basically rip their bodies in half if the strap doesn't give? Lets keep supposing here, If the strap idea were possible, what about all the debris, I mean really! What about all those cutting implements and the wood slats from the fence, wouldn't they be floating around? I would think there would be so many particles of stuff in their that it would be like a sandblaster and basically peel their skin from their bones, or something bigger would come by and knock them upside the head or something.
Lets suppose also that they made it through on the straps keeping most of their flesh intact. Wouldn't you think there would be other things wrong with them? Like hearing for example, the change in pressure from the funnel cloud would probably Burst the ear drums, which would be not only painful, but very detrimental to your hearing. Who knows what it would do to your lungs?
So with that said, I think the ending should go like this: They strap themselves to the pipes in the shed, the shed gets sucked up and they are feeling the pressure, then suddenly one of their sensors from their "Dorothy" project whacks them upside the head, they lose consciousness the strap breaks and they get sucked into the tornado, never to be found again. I mean you could do a blood and gore sequences where you watch as the flesh gets peeled off them and the strap slowly cuts them in half before giving way, watching as they scream and flail in pain against the winds before it finally takes them, but I don't think that's necessary.
Of course, movies aren't made to be totally realistic, just enough to get us not to think that they aren't unreal. Plus nobody likes movies where everybody dies in the end, and you just had to see Jo and whets his face cheater guy "the extreme", I think Billy was his name, who was engaged before he was divorced, kiss and make up. Maybe the "Dorothy" sensor should have just hit him, darn it Hollywood--made him too lovable!
