      I was just bummed neither Reba nor Bacon came back for any of the sequels, and Fred dropped out after the 2nd one. Sure putting the whole franchise on Burt Gummer worked out fairly well (there were so many sequels that Michael Gross probably made a nice tidy nest egg for his retirement) but with just him the franchise wouldn’t really climb much in popularity.

    I would recommend reacting to the 1996 horror film Tremors 2: Aftershocks, starring Fred Ward, Christopher Gartin, Helen Shaver, and Michael Gross, if that's OKay? While it doesn't have Kevin Bacon as Val, it does have Fred Ward returning as Earl, who's been hired to deal with a Graboid infestation at a Mexican oilfield. Plus, it has Michael Gross returning as Burt Gummer, which makes Burt more of a main character. It helps cement Burt Gummer as one of the legendary horror heroes and sets Burt up as the main character for the sequels after Tremors 2.

    This was one of those "surprise" movies. The premise sounds goofy, almost like it would be a "B" movie, but it was so well done that it became one of the most famous "cult horror classics" of all time. Great film! I never get tired of watching this movie. I've watched it like every two or three years since it first came out. One of those movies that's perfect when there's nothing else going on in your schedule and you've no place to go. :D

    I rented this VHS tape so often from the store they let me buy it. This was back when VHS copies could cost $80 new. Tremors is an absolute cornucopia of brilliance. Casting, writing, directing, acting, music and practical (and some very convincing model work) mixed to create one of the best monster movies ever made. The behind the scenes FX videos of this film are fascinating and I bet you can't tell what was a big ol' puppet and what was a foot tall miniature. Great reaction!

  • @melanieszelong4664

    I liked Tremors because the horror was good, the effects still work for me, Kevin and Fred had chemistry, no character was really stupid (even the obnoxious kid was just a bored teenager in a small town) and Rhonda was both cute and smart. I mean you pretty much liked everybody!

    The scene with the pole vaulting was actually based on the inital inspiration for the film. The witer was hiking in the Mojave desert and as he was climbing over a large boulder he thought "what if something were under the ground and I couldnt get off this rock" so basically the floor is lava. He then developed the idea further based on the idea of "land sharks" though that name was ditched because SNL around that time did a sketch called Landshark

    I was kid when this came out but I still enjoy watching it. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward (RIP Remo Williams) had great chemistry. Although a low budget B-movie, I’ve heard it described as a near perfect movie. The acting is good, the story is original for the time, the plot was good, almost every scene had a purpose, it has the right amounts of horror, comedy, and action, all the characters are relatable and it was very entertaining. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and there’s no hidden meaning to any of it. It does what a movie should, entertain, and nothing more. Out of all the movies in the franchise, this is by far the best. Other great horror comedies I think you’d like are “Night of the Creeps” and “Return of the Living Dead” (1985).

    I’m so happy you got to watch this Kat! I loved this movie growing up and I knew you would love it too. Tremors is a perfect mix of comedy and horror with a lot of heart. The buddy chemistry between Val (Kevin Bacon) and Earl (Fred Ward) is amazing. It’s a huge part of what makes this movie so memorable in that they are both such likable characters. The same is true for Rhonda (Finn Carter), Heather (Reba McIntyre), and Walter (Victor Wong). I also loved that my man Miguel got to survive.
    Oh and yes, the little girl who played Mindy (Ariana Richards) is the same actress who played Lex in Jurassic Park. Ironically Kevin Bacon at the time thought that this wasn’t a good movie. He changed his opinion though as Tremors has grown such a beloved following over the years. This is basically a B-Movie with a larger budget, but it’s such a fun creature feature, and Tremors embraces it.
    I also have to comment on Burt Gummer. The character is played by Michael Gross, who literally just came off filming the last season of Family Ties where he portrayed a wholesome Dad in the series. It was a huge character change going from a lovable family man to a paranoid gun-totting survivalist, but still making him so fun and lovable. It’s no surprise that Burt Gummer has become such a legend over the years as Gross returned to portray him in every subsequent sequel, including a short lived Tremors TV series back in 2003. He’s basically been the glue that has kept the series going for so long.
    If you loved Tremors, then you definitely have to watch the sequel Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996) in which Ward and Gross return as Earl and Burt. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001) is also pretty good, so I’d recommend that too!
    Take care Kat, and thank you again! ✌🏼

  • @judsongaiden9878
    @judsongaiden9878 9 месяцев назад +5

    It never occurred to me before, but this cast of characters totally reminds me of Rescue Rangers. Earl = Chip. Val = Dale. Rhonda = Gadget. Burt = Monterey Jack (kind of a stretch, but they're both adventurers). Who'd be Zipper, though?
    12:50 That's a safari caliber.
    27:58 That's a reloading device for making new cartridges. A cheap and practical alternative to constantly buying new ammo. Well, the equipment isn't cheap, but it's a practical investment. A long-term versus short-term sort of thing. Burt and Heather play the long game. They're the opposite of Val and Earl who think on their feet. Burt and Heather are strategists. Val and Earl are tacticians. What this story illustrates is that both are necessary for building an effective team.
    28:12 (pogo stick)
    29:09 Just like skags from Borderlands! Go for those critical hits!
    29:34 Notice how Heather doesn't hesitate for even a moment, plus she knows exactly the right tool for the task. Having a full toolbox doesn't do much good if you don't know what's the right tool for the task. Btw, Burt strikes me as a Mordecai main. He also makes and uses explosives, which is a Brick-like trait, but his main preference is for high-powered rifles.
    30:21 An 8-gauge double-hammer under-lever safari rifle! Rare and expensive. They ended up breaking the stock during a stunt [ 38:47 ].
    33:23 IRL, if you chicken-wing'd an 8-gauge like that, it would injure you. You really have to know what yer doing to handle one of those.
    37:55 5.56 won't even phase them. .458 might do something.
    38:22 You'd think one of them would have thought to grab some rations to put in that supply bag before they got up on the roof.
    41:15 In some parts of the country (like Nevada or my native Indiana), it's not unusual for people to own cannons, typically for celebratory purposes and/or historical reenactments.
    44:59 "Can you fly, Bobby?" ~Clarence Boddicker
    45:49 In one or more of the later ones, we find out that they were in both People and National Geographic.
    46:08 Not only is Burt a good strategist, but he also acts as the team's quartermaster.
    48:10 'Freaked', 'Bad Channels', or 'The Ice Pirates'. They're all zany and weird.

    Some little trivia about the film:
    "What are they doing?"
    Reba was cleaning off the brass to reload it. Burt and Heather are handloaders, part of handloading is saving and cleaning your brass which is what that machine does. It helps prevent it from corroding.
    "Is that a shotgun?"
    Technically yes, but it also falls into a category of safari guns called Stopping Rifles. It's mean to fell a charging rhino or something running directly at you. That particular gun they used was also used in Ready Or Not (2019). It's the same prop.
    In the sequel to this, they use actual plastique explosive to blow up a building for authenticity. Would recommend that as well as the 3rd one, you can skip the rest in the series. (Also 2 has a very important lesson: If you ever see a bomb expert running, *follow them*.)

      Seven films plus a 13-episode TV series in 2003. Also, Gross has discussed a possible eighth film, but he feels that "Universal Home Entertainment might've had enough of Tremors" so it might not happen. Of course, he's now 76 and while he's in pretty good shape, there's a limit to how long he'll be able to do action scenes.

But you should wait to watch Scary Movie until you've seen both Scream, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It parodies both of them heavily.

    I'm not much for horror movies but I really like this one - they throw in some comedy to release the tension only to build it up again. And like many films before CGI, special effects were hard, and expensive, so they doled out bits and pieces, creating suspense rather than blood and guts squirting everywhere until the end.
