I hadnt watched any of the interviews with Lee, but wow what a smart and passionate guy. He injected so much heart into what could've been a boring, bad movie. Loved Twisters and cannot wait to see what he does next.
-
I love that he embraced his nostalgia for Oklahoma and affection for Spielbergs action flicks and 90s blockbusters- he created something that was a beautiful joy to watch!
-
Lee Isaac Chung's respect for movie making, meteorology, and the first movie is very evident in Twisters. It's an incredible film and it's awesome to hear in-depth about the passion behind the movie!
-
That is really cool to see War of the Worlds 2005 was used by Mr. Chung as reference. It and Twister are easily my two favorite movies of all time, and it ups my appreciation for Twisters all the more.

Loved the film! Smart characters, beautiful and exciting cinematography, and clever writing that have every major character a nice arc.

I saw Twisters and I thought it was pretty ok. I had nothing bad to say about it. But this added a whole new layer of understanding that made me appreciate it a lot more.

Haven’t seen the film but the fire of love inspiration definitely is drawing me to see it even more.

i watched the movie yesterday in imax and i had a BLAST. it was so entertaining!! i’m so glad i found this interview too… i love how he’s into movie making ❤

Absolutely Genius, Love the Wizard of Oz and War of Worlds Reference. I can even see the Jurassic Park reference when the car is backing up reversing with the tornado after it.

The movie was such a BLAST! And Director Lee Isaac Chung sounded so passionate about this movie, which makes it even better for me now!

So interesting to hear him talk about the movie. I am planning to see it tomorrow. This video is making me really look forward to it. Love his attention to detail in this.

Im glad Lee made this film his own and didn't just copy what Jan De Bont did.

Congratulations on all the success of Twisters… it’s such a great film!!

My daughter loved this, even though she was in town during the Rogers Ark tornado. After I was trying to tell her that we don't get tornados here. Great film and will watch it again this weekend but this time with my granddaughter.
-
I cant wait to watch this! He really was the perfect director to film this.
-
Great movie, visuals are amazing.
-
It was a phenomenal movie. Watching this makes me love it even more!
-
This was such a fun movie and I am so obsessed with how Lee Isaac Chung is bringing back the 90’s blockbuster! Hot people saying “this theatre’s not ready for what’s coming”?! No notes.

I’m glad he didn’t do too many digital fx I love those kind of movies.
