OM nog maar niet te spreken over de barsten in de voorruit die nadat ze door het huis heen zijn gereden

Zo zijn er veel meer fouten in de film te vinden:

Goofs

Anachronisms
At the start of the movie, in 1969, Jo's father is wearing a hat which first appeared in the 1980's.
Share this
The first scene in the movie is said to take place in 1969 and has Gary England on the television warning of the tornado. But in 1969 England was actually working for a company called A.H. Glenn and Associates in New Orleans. He did not start working for KWTV until 1972.
Share this
In the opening scene, Joe's father warns his family that the TV reports that the "twister might be an F5". If this is 1969, then this is an anachronism, as the Fujita scale wasn't introduced to the meteorological community as a valid scale by Theodore Fujita until 1971.
Share this
The opening scene denotes the date as June 1969, and as the tornado approaches Jo's farmhouse , her father says "TV says it's big - might be an F-5" . The Fujita Scale, to which he refers (F1-F5 damage rating) , was not introduced until 1971.

The drive-in theater plays two scenes from The Shining out of sequence. When we first see the screen it is at the part when Danny sees the girls standing in the hallway. Five minutes later it is near the end when Jack is breaking down the door with an axe. These two scenes occur an hour apart.

Factual errors
When Jonas' truck hits the ground, the explosion and associated smoke billow straight up. They should have been sucked into the tornado.
Share this
The GOES-8 meteorological satellite shown at the beginning of the film is incorrectly oriented: the onboard sensors should be pointed toward the earth in order for it to function (ie, obtain weather photography), instead, it was shown as facing the audience. In the film, the spacecraft's solar sail boom is shown pointed at the earth, when in fact it should pointed in the general direction of the earth's south pole.
Share this
The last twister in the movie was classified and deemed an F-5, yet when it hits the farm where Jo and Bill are strapped to the pipe, about a third of the barn is still standing and the house can be seen more or less fully intact. F-5 level tornadoes can and will violently hurl entire wood frame structures from their foundations and even heavily damage steel reinforced concrete buildings. Therefore, in actuality, the entire ranch; house, barn, and all, should have been swept down to the ground. Also, survival in an F-5 tornado tied to a pipe is very unlikely as debris, especially flying wood splinters and glass at that speed can shred clothes and skin and cause potentially fatal injury.

When Bill and Jo jump out of the Dodge, Bill set the cruise control. Most cruise controls will not set unless going 25 to 30 mph. They could not have jumped out at that speed with the corn slamming up against the doors.

The video Dustin Davis is watching during the first tornado chase scene is supposed to be Deep Purple's recording of "Child in Time" from their "Made in Japan" album. In fact, no film or video recording of this concert exists.
Share this
As soon as the crew attaches "propellers" to all of the sensors, they pass boxes of winged sensors from person to person, ending at Bill. He dumps the first box of sensors into Dorothy. Quite a few sensors fall out of Dorothy, which is full. Bill then dumps at least two more full boxes of sensors into Dorothy; however, since adding wings to the sensors adds mass to them, it is impossible to put all of the sensors into the compartment (as seen earlier, the compartment was full of wingless sensors) without spillover.
Share this
The movie often acts as though only the funnel cloud of a tornado is dangerous. In reality, the funnel cloud is just the center of the tornado, around which debris can still dangerously swirl. This error is often indirectly averted, however, as demonstrated by the famous Flying Cow sequence.

During the third tornado, when the bicycle hits the windshield and Jo hits the brakes, Bill hits his head at 60+ mph, but suffers only a scratch.
Share this
While Bill and Jo are arguing in her truck en route to the reported location of a twister, Belzter and Haynes are seen laughing while listening in on them. This would not have been possible unless the mic was keyed the entire time, which would also make Beltzer's call to them that he had spotted the twister impossible to hear.

When Dusty is playing Deep Purple's "Child In Time", the video that is playing during that song is of Deep Purple playing at the 1974 California Jam Festival, at which "Child In Time" was not played.

When Jo and Bill are clinging to the bridge after driving her truck through the ditch, the twister "drops" into the ditch and follows it. This does not actually happen. The twister would have "jumped" over the ditch. This is why you are told to find low ground if you are outside when a tornado hits your area.

In the opening scene, Jo and her family rush outside of the house to get to their cellar. Farmhouses in severe weather prone regions such as Oklahoma, where the film takes place, have been designed since the 19th century with the destructive nature of tornadoes taken into account. Therefore, the family would have been able to enter the cellar from inside the house and not have to be outside when the storm is approaching. Moreover, for the same reason, the cellar doors would have much more durable locks and hinges than those of Jo's cellar door.

In the scene where the drive-in is destroyed by a large tornado, when the tornado is first shown it appears to be a half-mile wide wedge tornado (commonly regarded as being a violent tornado). The size of the tornado suddenly shrinks as it begins to destroy the screen that The Shining is playing on to being only roughly the width of the screen itself. When the tornado is shown again, after Jo, Bill and their crew take shelter in the steel garage the size reverts back to being wider than the screen itself. But tornadoes can and do quickly grow or shrink in size.

While Bill and Jo are running (driving) from the first bad tornado, a house falls into the road in front of them, and one of them yells, "We're goin' in!" As they crash through the walls of the house in the truck, in one room there is a chair, above the truck in frame, standing as it should be, in place, even though the house has been blown through the sky and the floor is at a steep angle. The chair doesn't even move when the truck crashes through the room.

In the opening scene, when Jo's family is in the cellar, her father tries to hold the door shut, and ends up getting consumed by the tornado. Jo and her mother, despite the door being torn off, remain unaffected by the tornado. Thus it was unnecessary for the father to try to hold the door shut, as he also could have been safe had he simply stayed away from the door.

Cruise control only takes control of the acceleration. As soon as Bill and Jo jump out of the Dodge Ram, the truck is driving perfectly straight at the F5. Cruise control does not take control of the steering too. In reality, with all of that tall corn bumping around the truck, it will cause the truck to turn left or right and not drive straight into the tornado.
