Twisters: parents' guide

Tornadoes hurl cars with people inside, pull people into the sky and drop debris on crowds. Several characters die on screen in the opening storm. The heroine is cut by flying debris, and one injury shows a gory leg gash.

About six s-words plus asshole, shithole, ass, damn and hell, with God's name used as an exclamation a couple of times. No f-words.

An early scene shows the heroine kissing her boyfriend in bed, implying the couple sleep together. The two leads flirt throughout the film. No sex scenes or nudity.

Adults drink beer and other drinks at dinners and get-togethers. No drunkenness, smoking or drug use is shown.

Long, realistic tornado sequences with roaring sound, including a movie theater torn open mid-screening and a flaming funnel at a refinery. The heroine carries guilt and grief for friends who died, and a man vomits after a rough ride.
