Where to find the trademark flying cow you missed in ‘Twisters’

Twisters movie – but according to the film’s director, it was there all along.In the original 1996 incarnation of the movie Twister, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, a flying cow that gets caught up in one of the tornadoes became an iconic image – so much so that filmmakers decided to pay homage to it in the follow-up, Twisters.Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos and more, the disaster film — a stand-alone sequel to the original — centres on a group of storm chasers trying to diffuse tornadoes with sodium polyacrylate solution.Recently, director Lee Isaac Chung said that the new film would avoid having a flying cow scene.

However, he has now revealed that there is indeed a brief image of a cow up in the air in the film – and it was even one that he himself missed at first.“My god, everybody’s been wanting a cow in this movie,” he joked with The Hollywood Reporter, confirming that the cow can be seen towards the end of the film.He continued: “It’s the hardest thing to spot.

I only spotted it because I noticed some weird marking on a piece of flying debris.“I said, ‘Could you freeze that frame?’ I was looking at frame-by-frame shots when we’re doing VFX reviews, and sure enough, there was a cow on that thing.”Previously, Chung told CNN: “Any time I talk to anyone about that original Twister they would say, ‘Oh yeah, the big flying cow movie.'”“I felt like I would hate to make a movie, update it, and just hear, ‘Oh yes, you made the new flying cow movie.’ So that was it – that was the decision.”The film has proved a runaway success at the cinema, grossing $123million at the global box office in its opening weekend.
