The actress that played Mindy a few years later played a teen also running to avoid becoming another animals dinner. Mindy was played by Ariana Richards, the actress who played Lex in Jurassic Park and its sequel Jurassic Park 2.
They actually did name the creature. The scene where they're arguing about a name, immediately after Valentine's (Kevin Bacon) says "We have got to get out" is when the woman says she's gonna grab Mindy. That's when Walter yells "Graboids! That's it, Graboids!"

@@NuclearFridge1 I think the best part is that while he is those things, he's also not a stereotype, or following the common tropes of the type. He's got boatloads of empathy, slow to judge people harshly while also not naive, and he's not *crazy* about certain things, he doesn't have paranoia to the Nth degree about one specific topic, he's merely considering all possibilities and being prepared to deal with a loss of normality. As much as I hate to stereotype, I knew a few of that type and they unfortunately fit it; if only they were more like Burt.
This is about as close to a perfect script as you can get. It's widely heralded as an example of how to only show what's absolutely necessary. There isn't one scene, one line of dialogue, or one cut that isn't strictly necessary. I've watched it hundreds of times and it never gets old.
I'm at close to 50 views, myself, probably, Doc. Loving practical effect the way I do, this film is a treat. And it's not as heavy as The Thing, which is not an easy watch!
I find it amusing that Kevin Bacon disavowed this film for a long time, thinking it would hurt his career in the long term (he only did it because he was a new dad and desperate for the paycheck), but as time has gone by, the love Tremors fans have for the film has changed his mind. He now has said this was some of the most fun he ever had making a movie. It's amazing what time and an enthusiastic fanbase can do. As for me, I really like this film a lot. So much fun.
He was probably telling the truth both times that he only did it for the money and he thought it was going to be a dud but that it was still a hell of a lot of fun to make. It's only now that he's come to realize that people love the campiness and all the lovable (except Melvin) characters.
@@steveray9655 Shrieker Island, yeah saw it. Wasn't happy Burt went down that way.....his hat was all that was left. I did like the first 3 movies and even the series.
@@ryanfitzgibbons7537 13-episodes, originally on the Sci-Fi Channel, adding Dean Norris to the cast. Comes after Tremors 3 in production, so also features El Blanco.
A rather simple concept executed near perfectly with some great characters, Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward is a most excellent duo, who actually make pretty smart decisions and are actually trying to save themselves instead of being mindless "scary movie morons". I love this movie.
It's also got a certain efficient way of characterization; you know almost immediately what type of person everyone is, the relationships and interactions between all of the characters aren't in an uncanny valley and feel genuine without forcing anything. And bad things happen but it isn't just because of people with horror-brain; either they genuinely had no reason to expect something, or didn't know what else to do while panicking and in very in immediate danger (like the guy on the tire).
I went to a special sneak preview of this days before it came out and I have never heard a movie audience get so excited as when Burt and Heather turned to their big wall of guns.
@@chrisofstars The Xenomorph comes across to me as peak smart from the start. In Tremors it feels more like a push and pull between the humans and the graboids. Of course this is just personal opinion and is in no way a measure of which movie is better.
Keeping your beer in the upper bowl of your toilet keeps them cool AND reduced the amount of water you use each flush - it's a refrigerator AND good for the environment!
Speaking of Ron Underwood, who directed this movie, I also suggest City Slickers (1991) with Billy Crystal, Heart and Souls (1993) with Robert Downey Jr., Disney's Mighty Joe Young (1998) with Bill Paxton & Charlize Theron, and The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) with Eddie Murphy. #MoreRonUnderwoodForAddieCounts
For a film that’s a homage to the creature feature/ B-movies of the 50s Tremors actually has some really good acting performances, Well written dialogue and plot and actually a lot of heart. One of the top of its time.
I'm not a big horror fan, but I do like Sci-fi Horror, and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I'm glad this made it onto your October List! It's light horror with great comedy! The combination of Kevin Bacon and the late and dearly missed Fred Ward was Gold! Sadly Kevin Bacon never came back to the series, but the 2nd one is still very worth watching. You should put it on the list next October!
For me the thing a horror film has to have is the comedy, BKG. I've never seen a SAW movie & don't plan to, but films like Tremors & Evil Dead & Hot Fuzz that deliver the laughs along with the scares are worth multiple watches.
Little known fact: the last monster was a thin shell filled with 10,000 cans of Chef Boy-ar-dee canned spaghetti to get the proper splat. Okay, I made that up 😄
I refer to this film as a 'Sunday movie'. Growing up my mom adored Scifi Channel and similar material so I saw movies like Tremors, Godzilla, and others A LOT as a kid, usually on Sundays. Films like this bring me right back to those days.
They're called Graboids. Later they're called Ass blasters and Shriekers. This is one of the few franchises outside of EVIL DEAD where I loved every single movie.
My favorite line in the movie is actually foreshadowing. "Runnin's not a plan! Runnin's what you do when a plan FAILS." And in the end, Val's plan. . . is run. Another great thing about this movie is that the characters are smart. Rhonda's the most educated, but everyone puts their heads together to come up with plans and ideas to stay alive. It means the Graboids have to learn and be smart, too, to remain a credible threat. It's a very intelligent movie.
Rhonda's also not the omnidisciplinarian you get in a lot of these films. She's not a biologist, she's a geologist, and it shows in the things she thinks of.
@@SunlessNick Yep, another thing I love. She can make some good educated guesses, but that's all they are for the most part. Not only is it really funny when she shoots back "Why do you keep asking ME?" after one too many questions she can't answer, it heightens the tension when even the Royal Smart Person knows barely more than anyone else about what's going on.
When this movie was released, several critics noted that it was very reminiscent of the style of 1950's horror movies. A largely unexplained monster is plopped down in the story, the violence and gore are downplayed or take place mainly off-screen, and the story doesn't take itself too seriously. Suitable for family viewing.
This is a classic creature feature. Very well done as it was done with practical effects. And the creature design is actually pretty original. Just some good old fashioned monster action. I actually watched the second movie before seeing the first. I actually recommend that one as well as it has a lot of fun moments, great creature design, an interesting twist, and some interesting creature takedowns.
"Tremors": The B-movie that reached A-level with a mix of Horror, Humor and Romance. Kevin Bacon made this movie at a low point in his career, so he said "Yeah, I made 'Tremors." Since then, he says "Hell yeah, I made 'Tremors!"
Love this movie, not even watched your reaction yet but got a feeling you will too. In my opinion, the first 4 are the best, the tetralogy ending with The Legend Begins from 2004. The more recent entries feel like Tremors in name only, as the creatures are all CGI and look nothing like what we've seen before. They lacked the heart of the original films made by Stampede Entertainment. The actor who played Earl (Fred Ward) died relatively recently sadly, it was either earlier this year or the second half of 2022 but he had great onscreen chemistry with Kevin Bacon, you really buy into them being good friends.
Rip Bibi Besch 1942-1996 Sunshine Parker 1927-1999 Victor Wong 1927-2001 Tony Genaro 1941-2014 and Fred Ward 1942-2022, can you react to tremors 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 movies
I saw the second movie before I saw this one. Probably around 1997. And despite this being one of my go to favorite films to watch on mental health days, it took me until like 5 years ago to realize they are called graboids and not grabloids
I'd say it's more of a "survival/ suspense" movie than what we usually think of as a "Horror" movie. (Although it does have its scary moments.) I believe they eventually named the monsters "Graboids" to honor Walter. It really is a great, fun movie IMO. (with near perfect pacing)
Tremors is a great movie 🐍I'm glad you enjoyed it Addie ❤ It's not a scary movie but maybe your threshold for scary moviee is getting better? 😅 I love that you wanted to name the Graboids, Jake the Snake Mouth 🐍 😂
You know how they say that sometimes, the second movie is better than the first? Tremors is an exception to that. The first is significantly the best. Both Kevin Bacon and Reba McEntire have some of the best sarcastic comebacks in this whole movie. Also, if you don't recognize the little girl who plays Mindy, it's the same actress who played Lex Murphy in the first (only a cameo appearance in The Lost World) Jurassic Park movie 3 years after this one, Ariana Richards
A really good horror comedy and honestly a favorite of mine. A few good jumps, some gross-out sci-fi, and a decent amount of comedy. Unfortunately the series runs on FOREVER and doesn't maintain this level of quality.
Agreed I'd personal say after the third maybe fourth it nose dives from a tribute to the old b monster movies to at best, cash grab made for 2am TV movies
When they made this movie it was actually called "Dead Silence" and they were going for more horror. When they were editing it they decided to change the name to Tremors and went with cutting in more comedy.
Also, while editing, they decided to target a PG-13 rating instead of R, so they dubbed "motherhumper" over what the characters were actually saying a few times.
The specific name for this subgenre of sci-fi-horror is the Creature Feature. And you've picked a great one in this class! I can vouch that the sequels up through 4 are all worth watching in their own right. I'd say 3 is the weakest, since it gets rather silly, but all of them are fun. You'll love 2. It's right up there with the first and is a lot more adventurous.
Fun fact: After Kevin Bacon made this film, he said it's the worst role he's ever done. Years later, he said he had the most fun on the set. Take from that what you will. There are a few sequels, but none of them measure up to this one.
It makes me so happy to see reactions to this movie. The other films in the franchise are pretty good, too -- it's one of those, "If you like one, you'll probably like 'em all" things. There was also a TV series that only lasted a season or two that was a fun, too.
+1 for _The Thing_ (the 1982 movie, not the lackluster 2011 prequel to it). That's the scary creature feature you were afraid of here, which is maybe not the best selling point, but it's a great thriller, with practical effects that are downright legendary.
this is my favorite movie of all time! im happy you liked it, i love that they actually made the monsters, no cgi! the second movie is great too, the third one is good but pretty cgi, i suggest you give them a shot.
One of my favourite movies, period. And when you look past the obvious creature feature 80's jank many would condemn it for, you actually find an extremely well-paced, tightly knit and well-written/executed movie that a lot of filmmakers nowadays, with their overbloated action pieces, could learn from.
Missed one of the best pieces of dialog: Rhonda: Why do you keep asking me? Walter: You're a scientist, aren't you? Melvin: Yeah, aren't you supposed to have a theory or somethin'? Lampooning the stock sf scientist who knows about every field.
❤ Pogo stick girl? JURASSIC PARK. Walter? BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, THE GOLDEN CHILD. Earl? REMO WILLIAMS. For cheesy sci-fi horror, this is pretty good. Half the cast has notable credits. Several sequels, some are better than others. Good times, Addie.
This is basically a tribute to '50s monster movies. I actually quite enjoyed this one. To be honest, this is easily the best of the series, and I don't think that highly of the sequels. I've never really thought of this movie as scary.
9:23 Burt: "What are you gonna do, walk the 38 miles to Bixby?" 15:50 Rhonda: "I say we head west to the mountains. We'd be safe there, and we could hike along them all the way to Bixby''
I love this movie, and all the sequels (except one that was not very good). Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward (RIP) had such a good relationship in this. You truly believed they had been friends for ever.
Oh man, love this movie. I remember the first time I watched it, I was doing channel surfing late at night, I was like 17, when I found this gem. Glad you like it, the sequel is as good as this one.
This series is fun. I recommend to 4 but the rest can be neat here and there. But a creature that takes it's time to study it's surroundings and gets smarter as you're trying to fight it is super terrifying imo. Anyway great reaction as always Addie ❤
Welcome to the world of "Tremors" You have to keep watching them... Yes there is a lot... About 7 and a TV series!!! To get the complete picture and all the FUN you have tp watch them all, they will really Grab you!!!!
Since you like medium horror movies like tremors. I would like to recommend the midnight hour from the year 1985. It has romance singing, dancing, and the Wolfman Jack. from American gruffiti and happy days.
This is a vastly underrated horror movie. It's got a great cast, great writing, a unique monster, great practical effects, 1 and nobody does anything completely idiotic (well the teenage boy does but he's a teenager) People do make mistakes but they're not stupid ones or at least not horribly so. It's a movie I thoroughly enjoy. 16:19 that's what she said, unfortunately she also said ooh ooh gross. 😅
HEYYY, look who just got 75,000 subscribers!!! Heyyy, it’s almost November which means no more scary movies for you!! As many sequels there are for Tremors, Scream, and Halloween, you truly don’t have to worry about watching them for your channel. You can do it on your own time. I would have watched this earlier but I was watching something else for a really good cause. The movie is called Serenity. It’s amazing!!

They actually did name the creature. The scene where they're arguing about a name, immediately after Valentine's (Kevin Bacon) says "We have got to get out" is when the woman says she's gonna grab Mindy. That's when Walter yells "Graboids! That's it, Graboids!"
I love that they keep the name Walter gives them 😅
Whenever I catch an Onix in Pokémon I name it Graboid in honor of this movie.
They always struck me as similar in nature to the Cthonians from the Call of Cthulhu RPG.
Walter died naming them, seems only fair to keep the name through all the sequels too.
We're gonna be sorry if we don't give it a name...

One of my favourite movies, period. And when you look past the obvious creature feature 80's jank many would condemn it for, you actually find an extremely well-paced, tightly knit and well-written/executed movie that a lot of filmmakers nowadays, with their overbloated action pieces, could learn from.
There's an audio clip somewhere on the Internet of her saying, "It's so big, oh my God and followed by her gag." The Internet has ruined me.
One of the classics! Love this movie. It is more of a horror comedy.
Watch Kevin Bacon again in Hollow Man.

Missed one of the best pieces of dialog:
Rhonda: Why do you keep asking me?
Walter: You're a scientist, aren't you?
Melvin: Yeah, aren't you supposed to have a theory or somethin'?
Lampooning the stock sf scientist who knows about every field.
Ive seen commercials for all 13 Tremors growing up but i finally watched the 1st recently and loved it
There's only 7 movies and a short-lived TV series...
I saw this in the theater and many times since and it always holds up. Fun and suspenseful. 😊
Probably the funniest "Horror" films of all time. They of course made more films but this one is IT.!!! LOL.
Glad you watched it.
Be safe y'all.
Great fun reaction Addie as always ..... My daughters enjoyed this movie growing up and still love it. Oh and Addie yelling "its so big!!" was nice 😊
❤ Pogo stick girl? JURASSIC PARK. Walter? BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, THE GOLDEN CHILD. Earl? REMO WILLIAMS. For cheesy sci-fi horror, this is pretty good. Half the cast has notable credits. Several sequels, some are better than others. Good times, Addie.
Loved this film when I was younger ,great cast ,story & humour (English spelling i believe) .
Thanks for reaction, awesome as always 👏
This is basically a tribute to '50s monster movies. I actually quite enjoyed this one. To be honest, this is easily the best of the series, and I don't think that highly of the sequels. I've never really thought of this movie as scary.
9:23 Burt: "What are you gonna do, walk the 38 miles to Bixby?"
15:50 Rhonda: "I say we head west to the mountains. We'd be safe there, and we could hike along them all the way to Bixby''
Thanks for sharing this, Addie! I'm glad that you weathered the stressful moments and enjoyed it in the end.
I love this movie, and all the sequels (except one that was not very good). Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward (RIP) had such a good relationship in this. You truly believed they had been friends for ever.
You're gonna love it. And I hope you continue on with the franchise...break the internet and be the ONLY reactor to WATCH the whole franchise. :)
The Tremors franchise is a guilty pleasure of mine.
If you recall, Walter Chang, the store owner, named them shortly before he got eaten. He called them graboids.
Oh man, love this movie. I remember the first time I watched it, I was doing channel surfing late at night, I was like 17, when I found this gem. Glad you like it, the sequel is as good as this one.
Tremors was meant to be an homage to 1950's B- monster Movies. and follows those tropes but through a 1990's window.
This movie is Perfection. Pun intended. But still true.
Little stinky creatures is my new favorite name for these things.
Funny to think that creature-effects artists have so many different recipes for varying types and qualities of slime.
Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon had some of the best chemistry as best friends and workers I've seen in just about any movie.
This series is fun. I recommend to 4 but the rest can be neat here and there. But a creature that takes it's time to study it's surroundings and gets smarter as you're trying to fight it is super terrifying imo. Anyway great reaction as always Addie ❤
" How could they bury a whole stationwagon? " " Why would they bury a whole stationwagon? "
Welcome to the world of "Tremors" You have to keep watching them... Yes there is a lot... About 7 and a TV series!!! To get the complete picture and all the FUN you have tp watch them all, they will really Grab you!!!!
Since you like medium horror movies like tremors. I would like to recommend the midnight hour from the year 1985. It has romance singing, dancing, and the Wolfman Jack. from American gruffiti and happy days.
Walter is an actor from Big Trouble in Little China. Burt is Michael Gross from the sitcom Family Ties.
Yesssssss.... ADDIE IS WATCHING TREMORS! 😝
"For all you know they can fly." There are 7 movies and a series as well so they get around to all of the ideas.
That was so fun. One of my favorite movies!
In college I dated a girl from that area, Alabama Hills, California in the high desert. Every guy I met from the area teenage and up chewed tobacco.
I really like the unique artwork on the spooky season Addie Counts intro! Hope you bring that back this upcoming October
This is a vastly underrated horror movie. It's got a great cast, great writing, a unique monster, great practical effects, 1 and nobody does anything completely idiotic (well the teenage boy does but he's a teenager) People do make mistakes but they're not stupid ones or at least not horribly so. It's a movie I thoroughly enjoy.
16:19 that's what she said, unfortunately she also said ooh ooh gross. 😅
One of my all time fav movies
Loved this movie when I was young and the sequels are decent too. This movie is the ultimate the floor is lava 😂
The sequel, Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996), is definitely a must-react as well.
HEYYY, look who just got 75,000 subscribers!!!
Heyyy, it’s almost November which means no more scary movies for you!! As many sequels there are for Tremors, Scream, and Halloween, you truly don’t have to worry about watching them for your channel. You can do it on your own time.
I would have watched this earlier but I was watching something else for a really good cause.
The movie is called Serenity. It’s amazing!!
