The Twister Film (also known as Tornado Film) is featured in the reloaded version of The Monster Ball Tour. This interlude is displayed on the two rows of cylindrical screens from the catwalk after being lowered onstage.
Tornado Film
Lady Gaga and her friends are struck by a twister which leads to the transition from the Subway (Act II) to the Forest (Act III). The whole interlude has a strong "Wizard of Oz" inspiration. Transcription of the dialogue can be found here. The Twister Film was played after "Yoü and I" (previously "Speechless"), and before "So Happy I Could Die", which gave Lady Gaga the time to change into the Living Dress.
Note: Gaga didn't go back stage, instead her dancers brought the dress on stage for her to change into once the cylindrical screens came down.
The interlude recycles the first scene of the Jumping Film in order to emulate Gaga being stuck inside a tornado.
The film was released on October 18, 2011 by SHOWstudio.com.
