Metal Tornado, the film that people with too much time on their hands will be talking about for generations…

In Metal Tornado, 2011, Lou Diamond Phillips plays a scientist who doesn’t shave and has that really nasty gray stubble that the elderly get. Phillips has a beautiful scientist coworker, played by Nicole de Boer, an actress whom you’ve probably never seen before and probably will never see again.

Greg Evigan (below left) plays the project director in Metal Tornado. We tragic victims of 70’s television know Evigan as a trucker named B.J. who had a chimpanzee sidekick named Bear in a TV show called B.J. and the Bear.

The team of scientists attempt an experiment, downloading energy directly from the sun.

All does not go as planned. The download causes an electrical tornado, which roams through the countryside, sucking everything metal into it.

Half way through the movie, B.J. is still denying that the electrical tornado, which is ravaging the countryside and on the outskirts of Philadelphia, has anything to do with his project’s experiment to download energy from the sun. He’s going to go ahead with the company’s plans to download more energy from the sun from their French facility.

Of course, this is what happens…

They manage to destroy the electrical tornados by sending up drones that shoot EMP missiles into the tornados.

I had hoped that maybe Nicole de Boer, in the euphoric aftermath of the destruction of the metal tornados, would want to make love and take off as many clothes as one can take off in a made-for-TV movie. She did not, however, seem very interested in taking her clothes off.
