Twisters fans were furious that director Lee Isaac Chung had to “appear before Congress” after discovering a major scene had been cut from the disaster film.
The American film follows storm chasers Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) and Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones) as they face the largest tornado to date.
Tyler and Kate develop a close bond amidst the chaos, and their relationship culminates in a sweet kiss at the airport. However, moviegoers never got to see that kiss after the film finally hit theaters on Friday.
The sequel to 1996’s Twister has grossed an estimated $200 million at the box office and has received generally positive reviews.
However, fans of the Warner Bros. Pictures film expressed their disappointment over the missing kiss scene via X, formerly Twitter.

The American film, which was released in July, follows storm chasers Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) and Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones) as they face their biggest tornado yet.

Disappointed viewers wrote: ‘WHY DID THEY CUT THE KISS’;
‘I was surprised that Glen and Daisy’s characters didn’t kiss at the end, but then I saw that they DID film a kiss, but it was cut… RELEASE THE FULL VERSION OF LEE ISAAC CHUNG!’;
‘DID THEY CUT THE KISS INTO TWISTERS?!!? This movie ain’t got no bullshit, guys’;
‘THIS FAWKING KISS WAS NOT GOOD IN THE MOVIE… LEE ISAAC CHUNG WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME SPECIFICALLY’;
‘I want Lee Isaac Chung to appear before Congress and be questioned about this’;
‘I don’t know why they did that, it was the perfect ending. I saw a test screening in March and that scene was in there’;
‘My biggest complaint about the film is probably the lack of intimate catharsis with GlenDaisy’;
However, some had a different perspective, writing: ‘I think it actually works that they don’t kiss at the end of Twisters… chasing tornadoes is better than sex for these hooligans’;
‘That wasn’t part of the movie, Glen just has the effect on his fellow actors. He kisses his way through Hollywood babes’;
‘I saw Twisters. Better than I expected. Great effects and hilarious moments, a little overdramatized in the tornado part, BUT I’m glad there was no cheesy kiss between Tyler and Kate. I hate the expectation of the boy and girl falling in love at the end, lol.’
The standalone sequel to 1996’s Twister has grossed an estimated $200 million at the box office and has received generally positive reviews
Fans joked that the film’s director, Lee Isaac Chung, should be brought before the U.S. Congress as punishment for not kissing, but some fans preferred a film without kissing.
Twisters has been called the “blockbuster of the summer” by critics, as the tornado film hits theaters nearly 30 years after the original.
Normal People’s Daisy and Top Gun’s Glen’s film Maverick are being hailed as “the best moviegoing experience” since 2022’s Maverick, which grossed $1 billion at the box office.
The deadly tornadoes that rip through Oklahoma in the film are clearly the equivalent of Godzilla, alien invaders, or the Great White Cat in Jaws. Especially since no one, not even top meteorologist Kate, tries to explain them away as, perhaps, a result of climate change.
That said, Lee Isaac Chung’s film barrels along with impressive verve and energy, as Kate, seeking redemption after a tragedy five years earlier, attempts to show that tornadoes can actually be minimized through scientific intervention, teams up with a charismatic, self-styled “tornado wrangler” named Tyler.
