Kevin Bacon was upset initially about being cast in a movie about killer worms but has said it was one of the best experiences he's ever had
Turned out to be a great movie
the documentary they did on it is really amazing. if you havent seen it
@@itachileesan documentary?
@@AFMountaineer2000 ruclips.net/video/hpCSCQJEmnk/видео.html
@@itachileesan yeah what documentary i would love to see it
Tremors is the perfect example of a movie that turned out way better than it had any right to be.
Solid writing, good characters, well done effects.
Really well put. I think the simplicity of it, and even originality helped as well. As a kid growing up in the 90's, I just remember how easy of a watch it was whenever it was on TV, and it was on a LOT back then. Simple, fun, really cool movie :)
Cant have this anymore because they got rid of 2 things good writing and good characters.
@@Xantheus07 "music was better in my day"
@@stiimuli I agree
@@stiimuli and yes i know its a getting old reference.
The casting of Reba McEntire and Michael Gross was simply inspired. Their scene in the basement is possibly the best part of the film.
Great casting, especially since Michael Gross played a hippie dad on Family Ties.
@@mccombjames and Fancy wasn't gonna let him down
Broke into the wrong damn Recroom! 😂
Broke into the wrong damn Recroom! 😂
Burt has been the most enduring character from the series
The fact that Kevin Bacon only did this movie because his wife was pregnant with their first child and they were broke AF, and now it’s one of his career defining movies, is amazing! 💛 (Also, the rec room scene is the best! And the machine Heather uses is a bullet casing cleaner, so that they can be refused.)
I always thought The fact that they had Dillon Precision reloading equipment was a nice little detail. People like Burt and Heather would have the best reloading equipment available.
Interesting that this was post-Footloose, which was a wildly popular movie. He must have had a crappy agent to be broke only 6 years later.
He actually had mental breakdown because of this movie. He did not want to be there at all.
@@cheezemonkeyeater but why though
@@procow2274 Because it was a schlocky monster movie that he thought was going to destroy his career.
RIP Fred Ward (December 30, 1942 - May 8, 2022), aged 79
You will be remembered as a legend.
WOW,LOVE FRED WARD.
I re-watched this film the night I heard he passed.
A fantastic actor especially in Miami Blues (1990), Remo Williams (1985) & Cast a Deadly Spell (1991).
Better than a legend, he will always be Earl !
Wasn't he also in the movie Timerider?
Val and Earl were the perfect protagonists for this. They weren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but they were effective. The casting in Tremors was incredible.
Watch "Flesh Gordon", way better and way way funnier than it has any right to be.
As Burt says "doing the best with what I got."
It's kind of a stretch saying they weren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Val and Earl may not have exactly been book smart, but they were almost easily the quickest thinkers of the cast.
God Almighty!!
The pan-back of the Camera to see Michael and Reba full arsenal is one of the best edits in movei history.
They remind me of Ash from Evil Dead. They aren't the best at making long term plans but when it comes to having to think on their feet, they have it mastered.
There's a nice detail: Earl gives Melvin an unloded gun. When he takes it back, knowing fully well it is still unloaded, he STILL checks the chamber before putting it away. Good form!
*Burt
@@Brainhorn Maybe he didnt trust the armorer..... too soon ? 🤭
Michael Gross, as Bert Gummer, is the only one of these actors to appear in every "Tremors" movie. He once commented that he was proud of the fact that no one in the movie ever pointed a gun at a person. Only at the monsters.
one thing i like very much about Burt Gummer... he handed a unloaded gun to melvin... was with him the whole time heard him bitching about it being unloaded, and the 1st thing he does when he gets it back is checking if it's loaded... whereever you get training if they aren't drilling that into you... get out of there you aren't getting good training
still a fun watch over thirty years later; Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward (RIP) were just the perfect duo
FRED WARD!!!! NOOOOOO :'(
Fred Ward passed.?
NO...........!
Ah man, I just looked it up. Ward died this year in May...
Ah, man. I didn't know that!
I always did have a crush on Fred Ward ( and I'm a guy)
Speaking as a person with a science background, I absolutely love how everyone keeps turning to the scientist character for answers. In every other monster movie ever made ever they'd have had her spout some hand waving nonsense. But here she very correctly says, "I don't know!"
Also love that all of them were smart, and take logical desicions, like real people. Some of them made a mistake, but it was natural, due to surprise, panic or lack of knowledge, unlike other movies where characters were doing stupidest things for the sake of the plot and blood. And yes, Rhonda is very good scientist. People trusted her opinion, yet she is not all-knowing, and not afraid to admit it.
It's also nice how they don't turn the gun/prepper characters into gag easy kills like so many movies do. "Hur-dur you like guns but they didn't help you".
Either that or the scientist would be spouting the correct information and everyone is waving them off and not listening even though they should. I used to hate that trope.
Then covid happened.
And people actually did that.
@@Palitatofacts
@@Palitato That comment didn't age well, since all the so called "conspiracy theorists" keep getting proven right about everything we said and everything we questioned, while the "experts" have had to walk back pretty much everything they said and all the demands they made of us. And I say this as someone with a science background too. But there is a big difference between being scientifically informed and just doing what you're told all the time without ever questioning anything. And no science has ever wanted to censor or silence anybody. Only frauds and liars benefit from doing that.
Everyone should go back and watch the intro scene again. Val jumps on the truck and screams Stampede! Earl (in his brown sleeping bag) falls out of the truck. It's basically the final cliff scene in a nutshell, when the graboid goes flying out of the cliff and Val used the bomb for a 'stampede' effect. It's brilliant.
That's amazing! This movie is ingrained in my consciousness since childhood and I've NEVER realized that!! My mind is blown!
One of my favorite films from childhood and I never picked up on that either. Thanks for sharing!
Well done I didn't notice that.😊
11:00 I'll be damned, that's Lex from Jurassic Park! Never noticed before. :D
I saw this in the theater on opening day and I don't think I've ever heard a movie audience scream with as much joy as when Burt and Heather turned around in their rec room and everyone saw the arsenal they had.
Merica
Yeah, that was a very bad move the monster made! 😂
broke into the wrong rec room eh
@@stevendubin3584 ...the goldarn rec room
Loooooooove this movie. It's such a good monster movie. Real stakes, and horrifying, but not totally oppressive. Good comedy. Good characters. *Smart* characters who fail but not because they're making bad decisions, it's an actual battle of intelligent opponents learning each other's tricks. Great chemistry all around. So good.
That's what I love about this movie. It's cheesy as hell, but at least the characters for the most part don't do random, stupid crap like in most horror movies. They make smart decisions and come up with good ideas.
the precise mixture of miniatures, puppets, camera tricks and clever editing has never quite been done better than Tremors.
Reba's first acting role - she nailed it!
Victor Wong, the store owner, was also in Big Trouble in Little China as a tour bus driver/magician
Also the professor in Prince of Darkness.
Another one of my favorite camp movies. Also Army of Darkness.
Also 3 Ninjas
He was the “monk” in The Golden Child also.
There is a theory that his character from BTILC moved out to the desert after the events of BTILC. I'm ok with that theory.
The epitome of “It’s not a good movie, but it’s a great movie to watch.” 😊
This film affected my childhood so much 🙂
Liked and seconded! I think it was the first film I ever rented from a video store. Definitely shaped my taste for horror and humor as well.
Did it give you a fear of loose soil? Like sand in a desert?
@@loganshaw4527 this question sounds like Exploitation
@@Nerium_Oleander13 poeple had a fear of the ocean after watching Jaws. Even though there was no reason to be afraid the jelly fish are more dangerous.
@@Nerium_Oleander13 yes even I fear sand worms good thing they are not real.
Went through a bunch of comments didn't see it mentioned but you guys asked about Melvin's parents in the first draft of the script it's stated they regularly leave him alone to run off to Vegas to gamble.
Every character in this movie has a personality and a history even if they have only a couple of minutes screentime.
I really do think this should be taught in film schools. It hits that perfect balance between action, characters and storytelling. We know just enough about these characters to be invested in their survival without having to rely on stereotypes or quirks to inform the characters. They are well rounded and not just there to be victims, the movie has one of the highest survival rates of most monster movies. The action is so well paced, well executed, nothing drags on too long, the script and the story has no fat on it, no tangents or improved scenes that they had to fit together later, everything that happens is set up and paid off. For me personally I don't live anywhere as remote as perfection, but I do live in a rural area and it's so refreshing to see rural people not portrayed as bumpkins and buffoons. They may not be the smartest people, but they can problem solve, think on their feet and adjust when things go wrong.
I agree. When people ask me " the best movie of all time" this is my answer. Taking into account the budget and resources this is the best possible movie that could've come out from that script.
Every quirky detail matters, from Mindy's pogostick to the noisy soda machine.
Well said. If I remember correctly, they brought it in under budget as well.
Agreed. This movie and Back To The Future have perfect scripts.
I like that the crazy preppers are actually prepared and useful in an emergency situation. It's strange that prepared people being prepared is a subversion of expectations.
Mindy is played by Ariana Richards, who was such a good screamer at monsters that she got cast in Jurassic Park three years later.
Wooooow it IS her
I had no idea that was the same girl 😵
Omg 😯
Did not know that!!!
Always have loved this goofy movie. Everything works, but my favorite parts are Fred Ward's reactions. One of the greatest character actors ever.
The scene with Burt coming back in his truck in "Tremors 2" is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen
Also the little girl (who’s played by a young Ariana Richards) also played Lex Murphy(the girl who screamed the most in the film), the Hacker-granddaughter of John Hammond (Richard Attenborough)in the first Jurassic Park film.
Her acting was great in Jurassic Park. In some ways, she really set the tone for that whole movie.
@@rascalmatt6713 absolutely… she actually kinda steals the scenes she’s in… it really her acting in terror that helps the audience buy the situation the rest of the characters are going through, like a scream Queen in the making-- like Jamie Lee Curtis
Huh... I never knew that.
@@NestorCaster Yeah when i compare the horror expressed by the kids in the first Jurassic park.... all the rest of the movies just don't compare. There would be some massive Primal fear going on there. The rest of the movies are missing that Big Time.
Another movie where fear seemed 100% real was Jaws 2 when the girl in the little boat is rescued after her boyfriend is eaten.
She has really bad luck.
The machine Reba was using is a cartridge polisher that cleans the empty brass to prepare them for reloading your own ammo. They vibrate with a cleanser/abrasive (sand constancy) that removes contaminants and gun powder residue.
Ground corn cob or walnut shells. I think they have a metal media too.
@@madddog6790 Metal tumblers are typically “wet”. I have one. Love it.
its a similar process to the tumbler rock/gem polishers.
It's the wholesomeness that makes PiB what it is.
That, and the occasional Pink Panther theme appearance.
One thing I noticed in this reaction is you guys are starting to recognize people from other movies a lot more, and your post-movie analysis was really good! You're starting to become regular cinephiles!
They're almost ready to play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon!
Most of this film takes place in the daytime. Unlike most other monster or creature films were darkness is almost a character in itself. So these ladies are going to get a pretty good look at what's going on! I really hope that Carly sees more than just her fingers.
Another horror film where most
of the scares happen in the daytime
is "Burnt Offerings" (1976).
Mindy was played by Ariana Richards, who was also in Jurassic Park and one of the better movies of the 90s: Angus (highly recommended). Now she paints beautiful portraits and landscapes in the Pacific Northwest.
She's also in "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka".
This one of my favorite movies! This is the first horror movie I showed my fiancé, as she was always afraid of horror movies. She laughed and got scared, but appreciated the emotional Rollercoaster these movies allow you to go on. She loves them now. Glad you two enjoyed it!
RIP Fred Ward (Earl). A favorite of mine. Passed away this year. I saw him first in Uncommon Valor, a great movie.
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
I saw this film while I was growing up on The Navajo Nation.
The idea of the movie came from Brent Maddock and SS Wilson, whom were in the Navy.
They were sitting on a large rock in a Nevada Test Site, they were taking notes and one of them said, "What's if there was something under the ground that would never let us off this rock?"
And thus TREMORS was born.
They were calling them land sharks
before SNL did the sketch.
So basically this idea was born from a game of floor is lava?
A good friend of mine worked on this. He talked about how they created the practical effects like making the boards pop up in front of the store by pulling a dowel from underneath with a cable, how they used box springs under plywood for the wobbly roof, etc.. He said it was a good gig, except it was hot and they worked hard, but otherwise he mentioned how decent everyone was, which isn't always the case on a movie gig.
Who could be nasty to the crew when Reba is within earshot?
also the stunt woman who jumped into the front end loader broke her ankle when she landed take care
Thats awesome. Thanks for posting the info. This is objectively a perfect movie, especially the writing.
18:06 "These creatures are absolutely unprecedented." "But where do they come from?" 😀
Regarding what happened right at the end:
the graboids are hurt by loud noises, and flee from them; when the bomb went off behind the last one, it just ran as fast as it could in the opposite direction...
which happened to be into the face of a cliff😁
"They're littler than I thought though."
Me, giggling in anticipation.... 🤣🤣
You two are national treasures!! 🥰
I've heard that before.
Glad you two enjoyed this classic! It spawned many sequels, but nothing tops the original.
The sequels are all terrible and I love them.
The sequel is a good follow up
@@whisperienced The sequels made Bert Gummer a legend.
@@allengator1914 tremors 5 🤩
Tremors 2 is pretty good, too. It would have been better if Kevin Bacon had come back but, oh well. I like them all, 1 thru 7.
Never realized before when Val wakes up Earl in the opening scene, it pretty much foreshadows the ending.
21:44 It is a machine that is used to clean used bullet casings with sand and vibration, it is usually used by people who practice shooting, since it is cheaper to have their own refills than to buy new bullets.
“Doing what I can, with what I have.” The incomparable Burt Gummer.
That quote is actually from Teddy Roosevelt, "Do what you can, where you can, with what you've got." Circa 1897.
This was Reba's first acting role. I saw an interview where she said she didn't like acting because all you did was sit around for hours doing nothing. Then she saw the movie and after that she loved acting.
Hey Girls! So Glad that your enjoyed this one, its a favorite at my house! To give a small explanation Heather and Burt are stereotypical Preppers (thus the Arsenal in the basement) which is why they were being teased in the market. the Blue machine that you saw Heather start up just before the grabboid showed up is called a tumbler, its used for polishing and cleaning shell casings for reloading and they are especially noisy. Hope that clarifies!
what a CLASSIC.. its in my top 5 EVER..real effects...not any CGI bullshit !!! RIP Fred Ward
One of my favourite "horror" movies. It's more like a cool monster movie than anything else. It's got a great cast, great humor and just an all around "cool" monster that had some thought put into it. Also really good effects.
The graboids are sensitive to sound, they quickly "run" away from any noise too loud for them to bear. So when Val threw the bomb behind the last one, he made it speed up to exit the cliff face and fall.
Also the little girl (Mindy) in this acted in Jurassic Park. Ariana Richards.
Exactly. (Came to say the same thing:)
Ariana Richards even came back to play Mindy in Tremors 3 which I thought was awesome. Too bad she didn't join the tv show as well.
Yep, also a lot of people miss that he got the idea from his "stampede" prank on Earl at the beginning of the movie, hence the line.
One of my all time favorite horror comedies! Just the right mix of scare, camp and comedy.
The sequel is really good to, the third and fourth ones I am kinda iffy on, the third one shows the full life cycle, and the fourth one shows a bit of history. The other ones after that though, those are such a mess, and just don't work out all that well.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 agreed, Tremors 2 is my personal favorite of the entire franchise. I also like some of the episodes of the series (that has nothing to do with that mix master 🐂💩).
Im a huge Tremors fan. Burt Gummer is the man!
*Dark comedy.*
Tremors is one of the most fun films ever! The perfect combination of horror and comedy. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are so great as Val and Earl. Few people know about Tremors, but everybody who watches it loves it. The first time I watched it was with my Mom. I'm a huge fan of Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward and I got my Mom to watch it by telling her it had Reba McEntire in it. We had an absolute blast!
Open youtube, see this is my recommended, see Tremors, what a way to start the day. Time to hit the pause button and go make a coffee because this is going to be good!
Can’t wait to see what you think of this one! I think it’s funny as hell. This was one of our go-to’s to rent whenever we had a sleepover as a kid.
If they don't talk through the important parts.
@@ComicPhreak They're girls, of course they'll talk through the important parts. Did you watch them watch Shaun of the Dead? Total gabfest 😛
If you have an issue with people talking over a movie, maybe you shouldn't watch reactions? It's kind of the entire premise
I watched this at a sleepover (too young) scared the crap outta me. Could not fall asleep and had to go home early lmao
I was 14 when this classic came out 😭🤣 it's so nostalgic lol
The machine that Reba turned on is a brass cartridge cleaner. (the brass part of a bullet) It is for people that reload their bullets once they have fired them instead of buying new ones. They put the empty brass cartridges in the bowl with cleaning media made of corn cob or walnut shells that look like gravel, then turn on the vibrating machine and the cob or shell pieces clean the brass.
Great reaction Bed Bugs. There are more Tremors movies in case Carly wants to sit in for another spooky movie.
I also died laughing when she said “is that a rocket launcher.”
Screw the people who complain. I love both of you girls just the way you are. It is what makes this channel so fun
This was one of the first "scary" movies I was allowed to watch, mostly because my great uncle let me watch it with his daughters. It has been one of my favorite campy movies to watch multiple times. The machine that was vibrating is for cleaning/polishing brass casings for reloading ammo.
Probably my all time favorite horror comedy. I have seen this movie more times than I can count
My favorite horror comedy is Tucker and Dale vs Evil, but this is up there with it. 2nd or 3rd.
One of the best comedy/horror films ever made PLUS Carly? Best day ever!
This is one of those films which I never get tired of, no matter how many times I've seen it. So cool to see you two experiencing it for the first time! 😁
I'm a soldier with PTSD so the conversation about being wimpy, you're not. Now when it comes to: the mind & imagination. The brain can be scarier than most things in real life. With an active imagination it's not hard to re-live the horrific scenes over & over when something in real life reminds you of it. I too love reality for that reason, people are predictable compared to the imagination, especially on your own. That's why I like reaction channels with real humans; it reminds me of watching a video as a kid with loved ones to ground me, until my health took me away from them. Thank you for inviting your sister over. It warms my 🖤 & melts it's icy exterior a little at a time. 🙏thank you for your channel!
So glad you watched this. Characters that make intelligent decisions and a town that comes together to face a challenge. Such a fun watch!
Not many people saw it in the theaters when it came out, but I'm really happy I was one of them. I was only 7 and went with my dad but I absolutely loved it. I'm so happy it's still so well regarded today
that wouldn't fly in the UK, here it had a 15 certificate, kids wouldn't have been able to get in by law
21:48 To answer this question, that machine is a Brass/Case Tumbler. It is a handy tool for cleaning out used/empty bullet cases for the purpose of filling them with fresh powder later.
Fred Ward, "Earl" and dad of "Sweet Home Alabama" passed away May 8, 2022. RIP. Fell in love with him when I first noticed him as "Rune" in "Big Business" (1988) with Bette Mdler and Lily Tomlin.
You two are carbon copies of my nieces. If their schedules would allow it, I'd beg them to do these reactions as well. Intelligence, humor and familiarity. That's the formula for a perfect reaction team.
Ariana Richards who plays Mindy Sterngood in this movie is the same actress who played Lex Murphy in Jurassic Park.
Everybody starts off laughing about Burt and rolling their eyes and by the end of the move it turns into "I want that guy on my team!"
9:50 Perfection Valley is just that. Surrounded by mountains, with just one exit.
Small village right in the middle for the few people crazy enough to wanna live in a pocket of nowhere desert.
People have often compared Tremors to Nope.
Up or down, pick your death.
Tremors is for sure the best "scary but not too scary" movie for these two. Great choice and great reaction.
How about Fright Night ?
@@lewisner The 1985 original?
@@bghoody5665 Yes. The sequel sucked.
@@lewisner I think Fright Night might actually be more scary than this and it doesn't have much humour. Still a great flick, though.
It's such a fun movie with the right balance of thrills, comedy, and likable characters that you root for. Glad you two enjoyed it.
To this day, Tremors is one of my favourite films. I used to watch it every Sunday, for years without fail. I absolutely adore it.
Hey, you two! To answer the question about what that last bomb did.
I believe he used it as a distraction. The creatures don't have eyes. They sense vibrations. So basically, he used the bomb for its vibrations - to stir the creature's senses into overdrive. It didn't have enough time to recover from its dazed state, so when he leaped out of the way, it couldn't even notice because its sensors were still stirring up like crazy.
Glad y'all liked it and glad y'all watched it together. 💕💕💕
A true cult classic, and yet still underrated. The documentary about it is worth watching.
So my cousin's husband is a professional violin player in Nashville, before he started his own small independent recording company, and married my cousin he was one of the touring fiddle players for Reba when she would travel Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
To explain the ending remember what Ronda said, the bomb doesn't scare the Graboid, they run because they are to sensitive to the sound. By tossing running to the cliff then tossing the bomb behind the Graboid, it made sure the creature would ran full speed towards the cliff edge.
Glad to see you try Tremors. With Carly too!
So glad you watched this one, I love it. One of the best cult classic films! A few hours before you posted this I even used "Can you fly, suckerr??" in casual conversation xD Burt had some great one-liners, too. The patron saint of the survivalist weirdo.
I always assumed everyone loved Horror, that's how I was raised. Recently I realized more people are afraid, like really afraid of Horror and actually don't watch Horror. This was new to me. Great reaction love your channel.
Oooh, so that's where I got "pardon my French" from. This was a favorite I had on VHS, but hadn't seen in ages. Such good fun, because with the bickering and comedy it's light-hearted. And Rhonda isn't just a damsel in distress, but a genuine science lady who is practical and just does her thing even if Val and Earl are busy being Val and Earl.
I have seen this movie SO many times I can write the screenplay from memory!
Val & Earl are the perfect odd couple, eg them bickering on the boulder & ignoring Rhonda when she says she has an idea, which was also handled perfectly; rather than complain about being ignored, she just grabs what she needs & shows them how it's done. Here's hoping you'll follow up with at least a couple of the sequels as they're definitely worth a watch.
The 2nd and 3rd sequel is wroth a watch..I enjoyed the 2nd one and the third kinda brings it all home, literally..I never cared for the rest of them.
@@shootingreal5945 good to hear, I always wondered about the sequels but never bothered.
There's also a TV series that I thought was pretty good to.
@@DominiqueMarsell Tremors 2 is very close to being just as good as the first one. 3 and on rely heavily on CGI, but 3 more so than the others. Tremors 4 is a fun story about the founding of Perfection during the mid 1800's and features Michael Gross playing Bert's distant ancestor.
I've watched all of them and have no regrets, it's a fun series and you can tell how much Michael Gross enjoys playing the role even as they clearly run out of budgets and ideas. By Tremors 5, they start to just fall into a "graboids, but this time in a new exotic location!" routine. South America, Antarctica, tropical island... but if you enjoy watching Bert Gummer killing graboids, it won't get old.
@@andrewe2057 mate, you took the words out of my mouth. 😂 I share the exact same opinion.
This movie lives in our collection for all time!! Just a well written, excellent cast, and original monsters made this movie way better than it should have been. The casting of Earl and Val was so spot on, and Reba and Michael Gross was so good. I love how everyone there was a microcosm of personality types....it was just sooo good. Great review ladies! Oh and the little blond girl in this is the same one from Jurassic Park!!!
This movie and Short Circuit were my favourites when I was a kid.
The first time I saw Tremors was during my last week of high school. When our English teacher was supposed to be helping us review for finals, she decided to put on the first four Tremor movies instead. My high school was in the top 30 in the state. 🤣
You have a cool teacher
the little girl on the pogo stick appeared a couple of years later in Jurassic Park as Lex
love that you both got to watch and react to this classic. you are both genuine in your reactions and responses. love who you are. extra glad Carley joined you on this one.
The vibrating machine in the Gummer's bunker is a brass polisher. Used to polish spent cartridge casings so they can be re-loaded. The firearm that Burt broke the glass to get, is an antique "Elephant Gun".
😆
When you mentioned Kevin Bacon , I for sure thought you would mention seeing him in his most iconic movie, Footloose .
It is what he is known for really.
As a matter of fact, you both should react to that movie, it is a classic. 💯
Yep, one of those chick flicks most men don't mind admitting to loving....
@@jamiegagnon6390 💯
I love their banter... makes my day
Daniel Ortiz Me too, Earl & Val are one of my favorite movie duos.
@@justindenney-hall5875 indeed... must have watched that film 80 times... but i meant cassie and carly

According to the original script, Melvin's uncaring parents would often leave him behind in Perfection to go gamble in Las Vegas.
One of my all-time favorites. Watch it twice a year.
This movie spawned an amazing series of sequels and a TV series which enabled Michael Gross to play Burt Gummer for 30 years who ends up being the central character of the franchise.
And they're all pretty great. Granted, they weren't big budget and kind of campy, but really entertaining non-the-less.
@@KalleKilponen They are pretty great up through 4, after that they get pretty bad in a SyFy Made for TV kinda way.
@@Tensen01 Everything after 4 is just for die hard fans such as myself. I'd recommend 1-3 to anybody though. 4 is an okay prequel for fans who want some background on everything.
Most people will probably remember him as the dad from the 80s sitcom Family Ties w/Michael J. Fox
This is one of my favorite movies/franchises from my childhood! I never thought you'd be reacting to this! I'm so excited!
The machine in the rec room you asked about is a "vibratory case tumbler" it's used to clean spent brass casings or small metal parts. Or apparently it can also be used to attract really
big worms.
The final bomb was thrown just behind the Grabboid (as they're called) basically made it go "AAAAAAHHHH!" and it rushed to get away from the loud noise as it was too loud for it.
It referenced many other movies. I noticed a lot of Jurrassic Park references, including the little girl, who played Lexi in JP. Also the worms were smart-they tested buildings etc, like the raptors, who never attacked the same part of the fence twice, and figured out how to open doors. I think of the monsters as T-Rex worms. Also their mouths looked a lot like the mouths of the insect warriors in Starship Troopers. And besides the Dune refrences you guys noticed, they were also like the sand worm in Beetlejuice (which I guess was also a Dune reference?). The gun-happy guy who played Reba's husband was the dad in Family Matters, the 80's show with Michael J Fox in it. And the old Chinese guy was also in Big Trouble in Little China (as well as a lot of other things).
Also I think the way the worms had little worms coming out of their mouths was like the extra mouth inside the mouth of the Alien (in Alien). And the fact that the worms can't hear you unless you move was like the way the T-Rex couldn't see you if you didn't move. It was basically a pastiche of all those movies, and probably more I missed.
Whoah! Just realized, Tremors came out a few years before Jurrassic park!! The girl was visibly younger here than in JP. Weird that there are so many parallels.
“Can you fly you Sucker!? Can you fly!?”
Love that part.
In the 3rd movie they do 😂
This is objectively a perfect movie. The writing, effects, acting, directing, etc.
Tremors is a fun movie and most of the sequels are kinda fun, too. Burt Gummer is in most of them. The little girl, Ariana Richards, is also in Jurassic Park.
Actually Michael Gross (Burt Gummer) would be the only cast member to be in all 7 Tremors movies. After Tremors 2, it would be Burt's franchise.
@@NightRanger-lz6tp Technically Burt really wasn't in the 4th one, though Michael Goss was 😉
That was a lot of fun. Great job guys. Saw this in the theater way back when and thought it was gonna be bad, but left really liking it. The filmmakers did a really good job. It's the first movie I can remember seeing Fred Ward in and really liked his performance.
"They're littler than I thought", LOL. I couldn't wait for them to see the real size of those things!
I love this movie because all the characters make smart decisions. Believably smart decisions. Too many scary movies have the characters make dumb decisions to create drama, but in this movie the monsters are formidable enough that the characters have to be in top shape to survive, so when you root for them you feel really good when they succeed due to their own cleverness.
The first sequel is pretty good. You guys should watch it!
how dare you disrespect assblasters! the third movie was also pretty good according to child me's memory
@@pointlessmanatee agreed, 4 was decent and 5 wasn't horrible, 6 jumped the shark a bit, haven't seen 7 and heard rumors of an 8th.
and I liked the tv series
