Tornadoes!! The Entity - MUSIC VERSION
Approx.: 60 mins
46 tornadoes chosen over a period of 40 years, including 9 minutes with the killer Andover tornado in Kansas in 1991. I must say that these 9 minutes are awesome! Most of the sequences presented on this videotape last a long time however. There is two versions of this videotape: the musical version and the narrated version. I bought the musical version. I must say that it was not what I expected. There was a type of "new age" music that last during all the 60 minutes of the video. A music with sirens and noises of subliminal trains... a little boring! The advertisement said "Viewer Guide Included"... it is not really a guide. It explains you the formation of the tornadoes and gives you some statistics... that is not directly related to the tornadoes of the video!

Storm Force - Tornadoes
Approx.: 52 mins
New tornadoes rarely saw on tv, mainly from the 1998 season. See the arrival of a tornado capted by a store camera, sequences filmed at the time of the Nashville tornado (a tornado which I had followed live on the Net!), organized tornado chasing trips where the customers have a little bit more than they wished, etc. I liked this video very much!! Incredible!!

Twisters! Nature's Fury
Approx.: 90 mins
If you have to get one of the videotapes presented on this page, this is THE videotape you must buy. There are in fact 2 tapes in this box, for a total of 90 minutes of tornadoes filmed by professionals (Project Vortex) or amateurs. I had however already seen most of these tornadoes on TV or on the others videotapes of my collection. The image is superb and the sound is original. In the first videotape, there is a "must see" stormy spectacle with music, you'll be hypnotized by that show!!

Real Twisters
Approx.: 30 mins
How can you put a maximum of explanations and tornado footages on a 30 minutes tape; I had already seen most of these scenes on other videotapes. Do you remember the country cottage tornado "Get away from the window! Get away! Get away!!!"? There is a very long extract of this scene on that tape. But the quality of the images is very poor. The sound has also been retouched...but if you have never seen other films of tornadoes, you'll not notice that.

Chasing Killer Storms
Approx.: 42 mins.
A very recent and interesting documentary, which shows the wild vortices at different scales (tornadoes and hurricanes). The hunters are definitively not all in wood! And if it's the animal who attacks, watch out...

NOVA - Tornado!
Approx.: 60 mins.
Perhaps you have already seen this one on television? Explanations of the phenomena, some tornado chases and the worst day in the tornadoes history, 148 tornadoes touching the ground in less than 24 hours... Filmed in 1985 however and let me tell you that the fashion changed well, the quality of the image too.

Approx.: 50 mins.
This videotape about tornado chasers is very interesting and different from what I've seen until now. Extremely instructive! You'll see the difference between the fiction (Twister) and reality.

I found it at the Archambeault store at Laval (it was the only copy). You surely can find it elsewhere or order it at this store.
