This show is a good one to watch if you wanna see the inside of a twister. I enjoyed it all the way through. Brilliant!

Don't waste your time or your money by S. E. Groce  1 Stars
July 27, 2007
If you like people standing around and being bored, then your in luck. This is what Tornado Intercept is all about. I made the mistake of buying this dumb film. The name itself would indicate a fast and on the edge of your seat type of film loaded with all kinds of real life tornado footage. Oh well, not the case here. I'm still trying to think of someone that I might give this film to, so that they may get something out of it. I couldn,t.

Not for you if you want to see actual tornados by Nicole Byler 1 Stars
July 13, 2007
It's all about this guy who mortgaged his house to build this Back to the Future car. Although it was a cool idea, he didn't really get in any tornados and I was looking for more of a documentary on torndaos and storms. This was a disappointment.

Full of suspense. Held my sixth-grade class' attention. It made me hungry to see the next episode of the Intercepter.

Great show by Chrissy (Birmingham, AL United States) 5 Stars
January 22, 2007
I managed to catch this on the National Geographic channel recently. It has lots of great tornado footage with some science thrown in for fun. Anyone fascinated by the beauty and destructive power of tornadoes (like me) would enjoy this DVD. Also, watching an armored car drive directly into a vortex is definitely worth a look.
