Just got a free pair of used SPD-SL pedals. In stalled eight pedal to test with look cleat. Seemed to clip in just fine, but releases only when I twist foot toward cranks. This is weird isn't it? I have 3 bikes and one set of clipless pedals so I was very happy to have this pair for my fixed gear.
Anyone else use these and experience the same thing? Is it something one gets used to? Seems a bit weird to me.

I haven't had that problem. Maybe the tension is set too high. There is a release tension setting on the back of the peddle.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but are the cleats right and left foot specific?

I'm still trying to decipher this sentence, but it sounds like you are trying to use SPD-SL pedals with Look cleats. Is that the case? Because I'm sure that would cause problems.

I agree, at least the one time I tried to use my bike shoes with look cleats on SPD pedals. Sounds like a good way to get hurt.
