Twister (1996)
Plot summary
Directed by: Jan de Bont
Starring: Alan Ruck, Bill Paxton, Cary Elwes, Helen Hunt, Jami Gertz, Philip Seymour Hoffman
Jo (Helen Hunt) and Bill (Bill Paxton) play scientists pursuing the most destructive weather front to sweep through mid-America's tornado Alley in 50 years. By launching electronic sensors into the funnel, the storm chasers hope to obtain enough data to create an improved warning system. But to do so, they must intercept the twister's deadly path. and get there before the competition does.
Continuity mistake: During the big falling debris scene, Paxton and Helen Hunt are in the red truck. The truck hits a combine auger. The impact damages the windshield, and it is broken, but a second later the windshield is perfect and untouched. (01:34:00)
Melissa: She didn't marry your penis... Okay, she didn't only marry your penis.
Trivia: The oil tank truck that narrowly misses Bill and Jo's truck during the final tornado sequence bears the logo of the "Benthic Petroleum" company, a fictional company that also appeared in James Cameron's "The Abyss". The same special effects company worked on both films.

Answer: No double meanings. Jo just sees the lethal-looking farm equipment (which is ordinary equipment that many farmers have) and in her panicked state wonders who would have such dangerous things in their barn, as though they were serial killers or something. Bill's "I don't think so!" just means they're not hiding in the barn where they could get impaled or decapitated at any second.
