Some films come with strange warnings ahead of viewing (Picture: REX)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Trigger warnings<\/a> play an important part in our cinema and streaming experiences, ensuring audiences know what they are consuming.<\/p>\n

They help us to deem what is appropriate for our children to watch, as well as avoid media that could prove upsetting or disturbing to us<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The British Board of FilmClassification (BBFC), as well as other bodies, work tirelessly to provide content advice<\/a> detailing the potentially problematic or offensive things that happen in media released in Britain.<\/p>\n

But sometimes, these trigger warnings are deemed a step too far, pointing out the obvious or the seemingly asinine.<\/p>\n

From Wicked’s ‘green skin discrimination’<\/a> to Harry Potter<\/a>’s ‘fantasy spiders’,fans often think the trigger warnings we receive border on the ridiculous.<\/p>\n

If you’re watching 90s action thriller<\/a> Twister<\/a>, you’re likely expecting to see some violent tornadoes.<\/p>\n

As one Netflix user shared on Instagram<\/a>, when you watch the film on the streaming platform, it includes the warning ‘intense depiction of very bad weather.’<\/p>\n

Which is actually a pretty mild way of explaining what happens in the film, following meteorologist Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) and her estranged husband Bill (Bill Paxton), who team up to develop a weather alert system, putting themselves in the path of tornadoes.<\/p>\n

The BB<\/a>F<\/a>C<\/a> also warns that ‘another short sequence shows a live cow being swept away by a storm.’ Which is good to know.<\/p>\n
