Twisted‘The ending confirms that Kate’s formula for diffusing a tornado is a success. Almost 30 years after the original Twisted released in theaters, the new sequel, directed by Lee Isaac Chung from a script by Mark L. Smith, brings audiences back to Oklahoma, this time during a twister outbreak that has become more deadly and devastating. Twisted reviews were mostly positive, and the Twisted The sequel’s cast is star-studded. The film’s ending shows an Oklahoma town nearly devastated by a powerful tornado.
While Javi, who has quit his job at Storm Par, and Tyler help people find safety and shelter, Kate decides to take Tyler’s car in an attempt to release the formula she perfected on the tornado to stop its path of destruction. Kate’s truck tips over and the button to release the formula gets stuck, but she eventually manages to do so and helps dissipate the tornado faster, preventing further damage and death. At the end of TwistedKate is returning to New York when strong winds delay her flight, and she joins Tyler and Javi.
Kate stays in Oklahoma to partner with Tyler and Javi
Kate changes her mind about flying
Kate decides not to return to New York. She was returning, not for her office job, but to present her formula and skills to someone who was willing to invest in her for future research. Having been competitive before, Kate and Javi work together with Tyler and his team to improve Kate’s scientific advances and stop the approaching tornadoes in the area. In Twisted credits scenes, weather reports and publications follow the progress of Kate, Tyler and Javi as they become the face of meteorology and preventing tornado destruction.
In the end, the now business partners have made a lot of progress in their fields and continue to improve their research.
While it’s unclear whether Kate has returned to New York, Twisted‘The ending confirms their research and the team’s work together continues to progress. Perhaps Tyler’s YouTube channel made their work known and they were able to make money that way. Tyler has millions of subscribers, and his appeal to them likely increases knowing he can help Kate stop tornadoes. Kate also becomes the main subject of Ben’s storyand he continues to follow the storm chasers. In the end, the now business partners have made a lot of progress in their fields and continue to improve their research.
How Kate’s Formula Stops Tornadoes Explained
There’s a lot of science involved
Kate’s formula required releasing silver iodine into the twister to produce rain, after which sodium polyacrylate is released to absorb the water (it is also cooler because of its evaporation), disrupting the twister system and essentially cutting off your fuel. This specific formula helps to quell the tornadodisturbing him and causing him to finally scatter.
A big part of the reason Kate’s formula didn’t work at the beginning of Twisted it was because it was used in an unexpected Category F5 tornado. But with updated technology and models, Kate was able to better predict how this would stop tornadoes.
Are Tyler and Kate in love after Twisters?
The expectation of a kiss at the airport was there
After saying goodbye to him, Tyler asks when he will see Kate again. She doesn’t know, but she tells him that if he feels that way, he should chase him. That’s what he does, going to the airport to meet her before they leave together. Although Kate and Tyler don’t kiss – although Twisted It made me wonder if they would – the two flirted throughout the movie. Kate and Tyler really seemed to like each other from the start, and since the pair are now business partners with Javi, it’s likely they’re getting closer and falling in love.
Despite their lack of physical affection, Tyler and Kate had a connection and Tyler was especially mesmerized by Kate and her ability to track tornadoes. She was also clearly intrigued by him and came to rely on his help. Tyler could have let Kate go to New York, but he didn’t want to; Kate didn’t want to go back either. At the end of Twistedthe two had gotten closer. If they weren’t falling in love, Kate wouldn’t have asked Tyler to pursue her if he felt somethingand he would not have obliged immediately.
Why Javi officially leaves Storm Par at the end of Twisters
Javi felt genuinely guilty
Javi felt equally guilty about the deaths of his best friends five years earlier and joined the Storm Par mainly as a misguided way to help. It would have been difficult for him to use updated technology to track twisters if Riggs hadn’t provided Javi and the company with a much-needed financial boost. At the end of the day, however, Javi realized he wasn’t really helping people; he was just helping Riggs capitalize on people’s pain. He was not helping to prevent or stop tornadoes, nor was he helping people injured by the destruction of the natural disaster.

Javi leaves Storm Par because he realizes he could do so much more to help others. Just as he encouraged Kate to pursue her again, Javi reconnected with his own past and desire to help people before making a firm decision to leave Storm Par behind. Javi saw a way out thanks to Kate’s research and use of the formula to dispel twisters. This made him hopeful that something could still be done to genuinely help, and he could be a part of it. Money for research was different from working for someone who attacked defenseless people.
How Twisters’ Ending Sets Up a Sequel
There’s no word on a sequel, but the film was a huge success
Twisted‘The finale saw Kate, Tyler and Javi become business partners. Together, they found their calling. And while TwistedThe credits scene reveals his continued research to advance stopping the destruction of a tornado, a sequel could focus on the challenges the trio face on the field. In the end, Twisted established storm chaser influencers like Tyler, who took on corporate storm chasers like Storm Par, while Kate represented the more traditional research side of things. The three may have merged somehow, but Twisted leaves the door open enough to see where chasing the storm will take the characters next.
What’s more, the sequel’s ending leaves Tyler and Kate’s romantic relationship unconfirmed. ONE Twisted the sequel could follow the pair into the next stage of their relationship – perhaps exploring how they balance a romance with their scientific work. The last time Kate was in a relationship with a research partner, he died chasing tornadoes.
THE Twisted The sequel could delve deeper into that aspect of her past and what it means for her relationship with Tyler. Kate may have figured out how to stop tornadoes, but There’s potential for another chapter, especially since there will likely be more deadly tornadoes forming in the future.
The true meaning of Twisters’ ending
Science was saved where greed harmed
Twisted‘The ending highlights the importance of teamwork in carrying out scientific research, as well as the importance of research that is not tied to corporate and real estate greed. Kate truly wanted to help people, and although Tyler was initially more invested in chasing storms for excitement and attention, he and Javi realized the meaning and responsibility of the work on a more grounded level. Twisted recognizes the increase in the destructive climate and the urgency of doing something about it, as well as that it is not worth having money that is not being used for research and helping people without exploiting them.
What the director said about the ending of Twisters
Lee Isaac Chung defended the end of Tyler and Kate
While Kate and Tyler manage to tame the tornadoes and prevent some of the destruction, the true ending of Twisted much more has been talked about than the action-packed climax. The ending shows Tyler dropping Kate off at the airport to head back to New York City. After watching her leave to catch her plane, Tyler changes his mind and goes after her. The two meet at the airport and are about to kiss before a weather warning interrupts them and sends them on their next adventure.
This contributed to the romantic tension between Tyler and Kate, which was a big part of the film. Although they initially didn’t see eye to eye, Tyler and Kate began to share a strong connection. While most people expected this final scene to cement that fact with the two characters kissing, Twisted subverted expectations by denying that. However, Twisted director Lee Isaac Chung defended the choice:
I feel like the public is in a different position now in terms of wanting or not wanting a kiss. I actually tried the kiss, and it was very polarizing — and it’s not because of the performance of the kiss.
That [no-kiss shot] It was the other option I filmed that day, and I have to say I liked it more. I think it’s a better ending. And I think people who want a kiss in this can probably assume that these guys are going to kiss one day. And maybe we can give them the privacy to do so. In a way, this ending is a way to make sure we actually wrap things up on a good, celebratory note.
If it ends with a kiss, then it seems like that’s what Kate’s journey was all about, ending with a kiss. But instead, it’s better that it ends with her being able to continue doing what she’s doing with a smile on her face.
In fact, it’s easy to see Chung’s point of view on the sequel. While audiences may think they want to see Tyler and Kate kiss to end the story, the film ends in a way where the kiss isn’t necessary and not having a kiss is better suited to the characters. These are two people who, regardless of their mutual attraction, would postpone their first kiss to chase it up a storm.
A leak caused controversy with the end of Twisters
Steven Spielberg played a huge role in eliminating a memorable moment
Director Lee Isaac Chung confirmed that the Twisted The finale filmed a version of Tyler and Kate’s final moments that included the kiss, but which he felt he preferred without the kiss. Chung not only liked the scene without the kiss, but it was also suggested by none other than Steven Spielberg, producer of Twistedlet the kiss be omitted.
Unfortunately, the original Twisted scene with the kiss was leaked online and many fans expressed contrary opinion. Seeing the moment where the engaging and fun romance between Tyler and Kate is rewarded with the kiss was seen by many as a crowd-pleasing ending that was denied to audiences in the theatrical version. Not giving the kiss works because it’s ultimately unnecessary in the moment, but the audience seeing the kiss that could have happened suddenly makes its absence. Twisted more noticeable.
