‘Twister’ Stunt Boss Says Steven Spielberg Flew to Oklahoma and ‘Was F—ing Yelling’ at the Director After Crew Walked Off Set Amid Chaotic Filming


The stunt coordinator on 'Twister' remembers Steven Spielberg screaming at the director after the crew rebelled due to set chaos.

Mic Rodgers recalled “Twister” director Jan de Bont having an alleged meltdown on set one day that resulted in the crew temporarily abandoning the production. After the director refused to apologise for the incident, [the] entire camera crew stormed off the set, promptly followed by the audio team, then the wardrobe department.” “Twister” director Jan de Bont recently spoke to Variety and said making his movie was “a really hard shoot physically” and “draining because we were in a territory where we never knew if it was going to rain or be sunny, so we often had to change location in the middle of the day.”
