In the series of films that capture details that you are not supposed to see, “Twister” by Jan de Bont is there! This totally unusual appearance was simply impossible to see indoor. But thanks to the magic of the image stop …
Director of renowned photography, Jan de Bont made in 1994 shattering beginnings as a director with the action film Speed, a huge public success carried by Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in front of a Denis Hopper than ever.
A year before Michael Bay and his Bad Boys, in a style as less typing with an eye / clipes than a Tony Scott, Jan de Bont prints his mark with this blockbuster, with a sense of rhythm and the absolutely evil staging. A triumph, since the film will report the equivalent of $ 756 million, if you adjust to inflation.
Dementia tornadoes
Barely two years later, he struck even louder with Twister and his in -entry sequences of tornadoes, which will bring back more than $ 494 million (just over a billion today). Its visual effects were so successful that a slew of films tried to copy it in the years following its release. The film was even named to the Oscars for the best sound and the best visual effects (which will go to the film Independence Day for the latter).
It is an understatement to say that Jan de Bont did not really appreciate not to have been even consulted for the remake released in the summer of 2024, also stressing the artisanal side of his film behind the creation of the visual effects by Ilm wizards.
“When things fell from the sky, they were real things that fell from a helicopter … If you filmed a car escaping a tornado under a hailstorm, it was real ice cream that happened to us. It is a film that can not be redone … It will never happen again” never “ he confided, in One of the few interviews that he has granted since he left Hollywood spans.
A man naked in a cornfield!
The fact remains that his 1996 nugget contains a detail not even hidden that it was simply impossible to see at the speed where the images parade, between mounting cut and Shaky Cam. A very funny detail by the way!
At 55 minutes and 21 seconds from the film, our characters in search of a tornado take an uneven detour that makes them cross a field of corn. When they come out of this cornfield and find themselves on the road, you can see a truly disconcerting spectacle for some fleeting images: the directors accidentally filmed a naked man, hidden in the middle of the plants. Yes yes !
Warner Bros
It is extremely difficult to spot it in motion. Who is this man and especially what was naked in the middle of a field of corn? We will never know.
