In the second one, its possible what you said they should be doing (ambush) is exactly what they are doing, as they keep suddenly being detected despite the detection range being several miles. Its possible the small population in this town paired with the rock on all sides, has caused these creatures to be starved and resorting to active persuit.
I'm less critical of their stubborness with the "we must leave the area" plan. Most people are trained to leave the area of danger and let someone more qualified solve the problem, it's the case with fire, disasters, crimes and even animals. So the idea of "telling everyone about the danger, get together and leave" is not inherently wrong, it's just not the best option in their situation, which is even more true when you consider that those things would probably just follow them forever.
The thing is they were surrounded by mountains and the only way out had human intervention so like concrete and other man made solid structures so the Grabs woulda starved or gone into hibernation maybe evolved but with little to no food supply most likely hibernate
@@SerfinBirdYeah but they probably spilt the food between the 4 of them, and they may not each other, leaving them with like three stage 2 and one stage 1, which would not burrow through the granite Mountains.
that scene when the graboid attacks the basement is one of my favorite sci-fi horror scenes of all time. how the camera keeps dollying back showing more and bigger guns is so funny. " Broke into the wrong damn rec room didn't you!?"
I like how the graboids don't start out cunning or smart but evolve and learn tactics throughout the movies to match the protagonists as they learn. Usually the things that seem smart, like cutting the phone lines (or the radio tower in Tremors 2) are actually just coincidental actions. You can see the phone/telegraph wires are brought down in the rockslide at the pass where the construction workers are killed (and the heat of the radio tower attracted the attack in Tremors 2). Personally, I would have just gone back to the concrete trench where the first was killed and try and take another one out there. The third and fourth might smarten up and not ram it, but they'd still have to bust through the concrete.
When I was in elementary school a girl warned me about these monsters. She was afraid of every hill on the way to school. I remember saying "even that one?" Pointing at a small hill, and she said "Yep, that's a tremor." I don't remember my own age but I remember that. Lol
Growing up in Nevada I had nightmares that I would get pulled into the ground for ages and only realized when I was older that these movies are the reason I had those nightmares.
I’ve been hardcore binging your videos this week, and I showed one of my friends your video on ‘The Grey’ and we both couldn’t stop laughing. I got a text from them later saying they watched another one of your videos. Love your work, man!!
The Grey is one of the most hilarious ones but they're all pretty good. The Mist is also funny, Circle, As Above So Below, Descent, i mean, there are so many. I wish i could show more people because these are really great. 😂
@@kamikeserpentail3778He could do them all at once at end end of the next one: “How To Beat the rest of the Tremors sequels: Do everything I said to do in the first one.”
I think this is the first time I've really disagreed with Nerd. The total mass of the houses isn't the issue. They are cheap buildings placed on mostly sandy soil. Bert is probably the only one who might have foundations on bedrock. So the graboids can simply shift or damage the buildings one section at a time without needing to lift the whole thing. While Bert's bunker is the best place for the town to rally to, they shouldn't stay there. It is the sturdiest building around but the rec room scene proves that it can be breached. The graboids can at the least destroy Bert's supplies and likely bring the building down given enough time. At the same time the gravel and stones around the bunker make baiting the graboids even more difficult. The CAT is the towns best option, albeit dangerous to get to. They talk about the mass of the machine but it's the mobility and horsepower of the thing that makes it viable. The graboids can't move it easily or quickly, while it can break their hold. Once they have the CAT they should do an irregular circuit around the town to by time while they deploy a variety of sound traps and attacking any tentacle that get's within machete reach. And if the graboids start to get wise just strap some pipe bombs to Melvin and throw him over the side.
It honestly feels like he just really doesn't like the movie for some reason and is very specifically searching for reasons to be highly critical of all the decisions made in this movie. Tremors is probably one of the best examples of a horror movie with actually smart protagonists. Those road workers definitely weren't residents of the town and were sent out there to work on it so there's no way they would know old Fred and would've assumed they were being genuine. Telling them about the sheep probably would've made them believe them less. They just wanted to finish the job and leave. He criticized them for the pole vaulting thing and how the sound distraction would've been better, but they didn't know if they would go for the distraction every single time and the pole vaulting kept them off the ground and away from them. He also talks about how they should've prepared earlier by setting up sound traps but they were given very little time from when Val, Earl, and Rhonda were able to tell them that they were underground from when the worms arrived. It took everybody by surprise. They didn't know that being in the Gummer's basement would've been the better play at all because they didn't know about the worms until they got back into town. He also goes back and forth a lot between saving the people and not saving people. He says they should've used Melvin and Mindy as bait, then criticized Melvin for not saving Rhonda, and then criticized Val for saving Rhonda. Everything you addressed about staying in the town and why leaving is perfectly sound. I don't understand how he thinks they would be able to hunker down with the guns safely because they literally can't shoot them through the ground and trying to bait them out would've been extremely risky. He also just doesn't seem to understand how people react when they're panicked because he is constantly criticizing that people made a dumb decision when it was completely rational while they were panicked. I got a lot of cinemasins vibes from this guy. Specifically searching for the bad things of the movie and never thinking about it for more than 5 seconds. It doesn't seem like he weighed out the options at all. He literally called a dozer flimsy as hell because it was dusty.
@@sethmeaseles3301 Also, he kept saying the bombs scared them, when Rhonda literally screamed it doesn't, it hurts them because they are so sensitive to sound. Sad this is the first of his videos I've watched because I just got annoyed lol especially since Tremors is my favourite movie
@@SchnippsHe ignored a lot of the dialogue, like when he was whining about them not going around the blocked off road or using their off road vehicles, when it's clearly stated that Burt's Jimmy is the only vehicle that can make it through the jeep trail.
@@babayaga7434I think that’s because a lot of the places where they were moving through were comparatively flat. Like, the area where the graboids ambushed the horses looked like something they could’ve easily driven over. But, Nerd also didn’t take into account that, while they probably COULD have driven over that, stopping to move one rock or boulder out of the way would’ve given the monsters time to rip their truck out from under them. I agree that driving out with Val and Earl’s truck wouldn’t have been a viable option, but I can see where someone could get that idea from some of the places that were shown in the movie.
I didn't realise this until now 🤨 the first Graboid was killed, smashing into the concrete drainage/ditch wall. However, the Graboid in Burts basement came through that wall like it was made of paper! weird really, as I would have thought his house would be really bunker/vault fortified strong!
@@jakeguillemette9178 a proper bunker would have steel rods vertically/horizontally in the cinder blocks and the cinders blocks would be concrete filled (it's just good practise for solid construction as well).
@@retsaMinnavoiG Yeah you'd think Burt and his wife, of all people, would super reinforce their doomsday bunker considering they are preppers. I guess they thought it was ok since it was below ground and their normal apocalypse planning probably didn't include monster ground worms lol
I disagree that the Gummers leaving is a bad idea. The next worm they would have to kill would have to make a new hole in their wall. The size and damage the first worm did severely weakened the structure. A second worm inna new spot would undoubtedly make the basement bunker a very dangerous place to be. Not to mention the worms could just bring down the top level, trapping them inside. His decision to leave, was the right decision. Either you risk hanging out and getting buried in the basement, or, you risk having the roof you're standing on to fall out from under you. Sure, they could have attacked the worms from the roof, but it would have taken quite a bit of ammo with the earth adding extra armor to the worms. The bulldozer idea isn't bad until the worms figure out the trench idea. It's mass is compact, denser. More solid. Makes it harder for the worms to lift or move such force. A home has it weight spread about more, more oddly distributed. Offers weak points, they weren't lifting the homes and large structures up, they couldn't even lift up the trailers and RVs. They could top em over, move them a bit, but not lift up. And the graboids only do that on stationary targets, giving them time to dig under you. So, moving would be a good option. Id give staying at the bunker a fifty fifty shot at working. Id give the bulldozer escape plan about the same chance. So, I wouldn't call it a bad decision on Burts part. It's a judgement call, and it's a crap shoot. I tend to agree with him, in that scenario, it's better to be on the move.
6:45 i remember wanting those 80s/90s circa Mickey Thompson Baja Belted tires to put on my 89 Jeep Wrangler. I spent years saving for the leaf spring, leaf shackles , tires and wheels. I eventually just went with BFG Mud Terrains which are great and allot less expensive too. 😊
I don't think the Graboids ever lift a whole building all in one go like Superman. Rather, they pry up one corner then another, knock out supports, undermine the flooring, slowly weakening the structure. The CAT does weigh less than the general store, but it is much denser, more compact and made of steel rather than wood and concrete.
As far as the realities of their biology is concerned, considering it is a monster movie, there are all sorts of explanations for calorie intake. Maybe there is a whole underground ecosystem under the desert that has been previously undiscovered, and the encroachment of man is just the newest item on the menu. IIRC the sequels basically end up saying that they are hyper-adaptive and evolve pretty much immediately (at one point there's even flying ones but its been ages since I've seen the sequels.) The barbed wire fence left around "for no reason" was also foreshadowed both in the movie and in your script earlier in the video; our dynamic duo are lazy, get-rich-quick dreamers that abandoned working on the fences after one post, leaving the rest of it lying around.
"They should've hunkered down instead of leaving the area" So what? Give the Graboids enough time to Figure out an way to get em? "Burt's Rec room perfectly stopped an Graboid" Ummmm no, Graboid effortlessly Breached through that shit, They are lucky that the graboid only gone for the wall instead of the floor "They should've stayed on the roof and used sound traps to lure them so that Burt and Reba can shoot them" Ummm no, Do you know what an bullet cannot pierce easily? A GODDAMN DIRT, Even with something like Elephant Gun, Its not gonna go through like shown in the GODDAMN MOVIE, Unless you have something like 950 JDJ rifle (which only 3 of them exists) you ain't gonna just shoot them through the dirts, Also Burt's Bunker which is covered in gravel, You cannot lure the graboids in that shit, Unironically trapping yourself "The Bulldozer is unreliable as its only weight 20 tons whilst the store weights well over 30" Umm no, Its not about total weight, Its about Mass, Mobility and Horsepower, Than thing can shake any attempts of the graboid trying to topple it over with force and the Store was ticking time bomb as graboids begun to Study its structure and started to dig under it to collapse it, Plus the Graboid can easily bust it down as it was shown in the GODDANG MOVIE WHERE IT EASILY BUSTED OUT FROM THE FLOOR!!!
Kevin Bacon's Sidekick Earl looks like a time traveling Jon Bernthal. Great character actor. The sidekick to heroes and villains throughout the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
Honestly, while the franchise on the whole had its ups and downs, you can't deny that it's a great series of movies, (and the tv show was good too), and while my personal favorite is the fourth one, the first one deserves a lot of credit for how it did things. In particular, compared to most monster movies, the vast majority of the movie is in broad daylight, the victims are just everyday people trying to live their lives in a normal small town, and the monster is something that's both simple and effective. The movie honestly doesn't even have that big of a body count compared to most monster movies who rely too much on "everyone dies" to make the monsters seem more terrifying.
Even excluding Rhonda and the construction workers, almost half the population of Perfection died. Edgar Fred Jim Wallace Megan Wallace Walter Nestor The construction workers just happened to be working in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unlucky.
I didn't think of all of the points made, but even as a kid I wondered why, when the last graboid came out of the ground looking for Val and company, Burt chose to hit the ground with the butt of his proven ELEPHANT RIFLE instead of...shooting the graboid. I get it, he wasn't as close and it may not have been a fatal shot. But a couple .60ish holes in the thing isn't really any more dumb of an approach than anything else. Also, cliffs are by definition thick rock. This movie would have made infinitely more sense in rural Montana.
@@danno938While it's 100% in range, there doesn't appear to be enough visible to cause a meaningful blow, especially after seeing the one tank hundreds of rounds of ammo in the rec room scene. Not just that, but the danger of sending a round that powerful down range with people in the vicinity of your target is not really something you risk unless it's the last option. Also, being a recreational shooter doesn't mean much if your gun isn't accurate. I can stack at 700 yards with my .308, while my vastly more energetic 300 WBY is going to have some flyers
My brothers and I were obsessed with this film when we were kids. We would play it anywhere and everywhere we went. Just stay off the ground and use creative methods to move from one point to another.
My head cannon is that Burt was 100% trying to get Melvin killed when he handed him an empty gun. He was totally hoping Melvin would be a moron and try and one man stand one of them and get eaten.
Watched this movie when I was a kid. This town seemed actually very nice to me. Always wanted to visit one of these ghost towns in the middle of the desert!
The basement "Held up perfectly against the worms"? A single one burst through the wall with relative ease. Burt and Reba are lucky it went through the wall and not the floor.
Yeah, honestly this video was not great. He also claims they could just use sound traps to lure the graboids close and then Burt and Reba can just shoot them to death. Except they literally tried that in the movie and discovered that they couldn't even damage it through the dirt. I love this channel, but this video was a major swing and a miss lol.
In defense of the bulldozer plan. The graboid was lifting the sides and corners of the general store, which would take significantly less force to do than what you implied. The bulldozer has its' weight more compressed in comparison. If you remember earlier in the movie, they were able to rip off one of the tongues with the truck. The truck of course has a lot less pulling power and traction than the bulldozer.
Tremors. The only movie I've seen where the characters make the best course of action they possibly could and took precautions with all the knowledge they had You keep giving them flak for not using an offroad vehicle when it was blatantly stated, several times, that the only back way out needed SERIOUS offroad things not just a rear wheel drive lifted truck You're starting to make me think you DIDN'T watch the entire movie at the pole vault part. They specifically stop and wait for Ronda to get her keys out because, and I quote, "He's gonna be all over us the second we hit that truck" and talked about how it buried the doctor's station wagon
Oh yeah The boy who played the joker learned his lesson real quick Bert: you do sports boy Boy: track sir Bert: good start running Boy: what? Bert: Start Running!
I love this movie because the characters aren't idiots they for the most part and realistic and have good ideas and the graboids aren't invincible horror monsters they are just super dangerous animals that can be delt with by average people who are smart about it. The graboids weren't lifting the buildings they were undermining them and causing them to fall apart.
I can see where a lot of these points are coming from, but a lot of them just aren't well thought out. He talks a lot about how they should've fortified the town and laid traps or stayed in the Gummer's bunker but they literally didn't know about the worms being underground until Val, Earl, and Rhonda had seen them and told the town within a very short time of when the worms got to town. There's no way they could've prepared in the amount of time they had. They even show why the bunker is a bad idea because the graboids are able to break through the walls. They could just slowly chip away at all the walls until they would've been completely surrounded and there was very little chance to survive. The point about the buildings being sturdy and that they're too heavy for the worms to break was completely invalidated if he actually watched the movie. They were literally collapsing the buildings and it didn't matter if the people were making sound or not. He talked about how they should've used distractions instead of pole vaulting, but how far could they throw the rocks to attract the worms awy without any problems. Being on the ground at any point would've been extremely risky and the pole vaulting assured that they eould be away from the ground and a lot more safe if anything did go wrong. He makes it seem like everyone wasn't talking and plotting through any of their plans and made them up on a whim, but they literally spend time talking through their choices and their line of reasoning. He also expects way too much from people who are definitely in a panicked state. Your partner gets suddenly dragged into the ground and you have no clue why or how and you desperately want to try and save them. She ran to the car because she though she could possibly get away but didn't have the keys. If she had managed to get out of the car while it was being pulled underground, she probably wouldn't have made it far cause the graboid probably would've sensed that she was running away and would've gone after her. There wasn't much for anyone to do at any point if they were taken by surprise since they bever really knew what they were going up against.
The concrete barrier that killed the first one much smaller than the other three which is why it died. After burt takes the 2nd one out you can clearly see the size difference. Staying at Burt's really wasn't an option either as they easily could have collapsed the basement, seeing as it's only a cinder block of thickness. Criticizing the use of the tractor is also incorrect. To the graboids the tractor is a small house in weight but it also moves. Something they haven't encountered before. They can dig out the bottom of a house because it's fixed to a location. As far as their behaviour they actually do just sit and wait for prey to come nearby, until the last few weeks of the first part of their life cycle. The ones we see in the movie have just started the becoming pregnant with the 2nd phase. Causing them to become more aggressive and hunting down the largest targets they can. As far as flipping a moving vehicle, while not impossible it's extremely unlikely as this would also put them at risk. If you think they would do a full breach like a great white shark, while possible they wouldn't unless it's the last hours of stage 1. They have no way to get back underground once fully exposed.
Oh it was absolutely the best option. the worms already demonstrated the ability to demolish buildings. A couple more holes and Burts bunker would collapse. He seems to absolutely ignore the fact the monsters were tearing the buildings out form under them. His criticisms only hold up for people who didn't actually watch the movie. He acts like lifting a 6000lb Trunk is the same as a 60,000 pound bulldozer. I think he just struggles with a film where the people actually behaved reasonably with the knowledge they had at the time.
@@keeperofnecronomicon nerd is actually pretty good, just with this movie he kinda missed the mark. I watched this on its VHS release as a kid, and wouldn't walk on anything that wasn't concrete for a week. The first 3 movies do tell a lot about the graboids and are actually very entertaining. The first two are easily the best out of I think they are on 6 movies now. Last I heard they wanted to do a remake as long as the baconator is in it.
Ah, perhaps the greatest of all B-Movie creature features. I’m glad to see it getting the Nerd Explains treatment. Great vid! P.S. As a Nevadan, I appreciate you pronouncing the name of the state right. We’re oddly prickly about that around here.
mean an animal that big being carnivorous and high energy isnt unheard of it just requires prey that is also that big and hence more energy dense plants like conifers and ferns at high carbon dioxide levels which is what we seen during the Mesozoic period
Tie c-4 to a toy car and sit back and watch and wait then once the graboid eats the toy car then set the C-4 off oh wait that is the second tremors move 😂 I love tremors i grew up on the films
Oh yeah the final movie with Bart when he start outrunning the graboid I hear The Devil went down to Georgia playing in the background great song 👍 👍 😂
To be fair a bulldozer like in the movie (not a loader like the animation you used) isn't actually a terrible idea. Even if the worms can still bump it, it's built so solid for being in construction sites and doing heavy work that's unlikely the worms can damage it, and it has so much traction having tracks instead of tires that the worms would like be unable to knock it off course. All they might succeed in doing is lifting it a tiny bit from time to time. Like I said it has tracks, so the worms can't stop it by taking out the tires like a truck. It has no tires. These also have so much horsepower, these things are build to plow dirt. The worms would have no hope stopping it by trying to grab hold it. As seen when Val backed into the cliff, the worms was able to grab and stall out a pickup truck. But a heavy duty bulldozer... yeah good luck with that worms. And while it seems this one doesn't have it (due to needing to tow a trailer) not only do these bulldozers have a big plow or scoop in the front, but they also often has these huge rakes in the back which if you caught a worn on the surface (in it's feeble attempts to somehow stop you) and you put those ranks down. Yeah, I don't think the worms are going to have a very good time. Now the worms in this movie does stop the bulldozer by digging a trap which, I'll be frank, I call bullshit on that. As stated in this movie these things hunt via vibration, not even sound. You can't see underground, you can't smell underground, and I doubt you can hear very well either. These worms are quite literally blind and deaf with no sense of smell. They hunt via vibration. Something moves on the surface, be it a footstep or basically anything that movies, it causes vibration. The worms detect this vibration and goes towards to to hunt whatever is making said vibration. So how in the hell does these worms know how to go ahead of the bulldozer, to land where there is no vibration, and dig a trap? That should be impossible for these things. My biggest concern about using a bulldozer to flee town, and what the movie should had done instead of making the worms magically capable of digging traps, would just be have the bulldozer run out out fuel. These things have massive thirsty engines and move very slow, I doubt they get very good miles to the gallon. On top of that, Val didn't exactly have time to check and make sure the tank was full. He ran to the thing, started it, hooked up a trailer and drove off before the worms could eat him. The could left town with a half tank, quarter tank, dang near empty tank of fuel, they don't know. The bulldozer running out of fuel would have made a lot more sense I think then the worms digging a trap... somehow. But yeah I don't think a bulldozer is necessarily a stupid choice against these worms, heck the thing is basically a tank to these worms. But the fuel situation would concern me if my plan to track across the desert to safety.
This is 1 of many movies/situations where the plan to hunker down is the best option. Also, Nancy does actually make a point about people coming to look for them. There is a scene (I forget which cut of the movie) of another road worker having shown up & gotten eaten. With now 3 workers not checking in or otherwise unaccounted for in a remote desert valley people outside the valley WILL take notice. It might take a few more guys getting eaten but eventually the road work company would be calling the police about a bunch of missing workers &/or the massive rock slide blocking the road. All of that is just on the road workers end though. What about the mailman & delivery drivers for the store? Surely, at least 1 of them would report the blocked road & abandoned vehicles? Or be reported missing by their family/employers if they get eaten & don't continue their routes? Again, it might take a few days &/or guys getting eaten but eventually help would come.
It's in the full movie, you see another car with the construction workers helmet on the ground in the other side of the rocks So yea, getting checked on didn't help
@@Schnipps As I said it would probably take more people getting eaten but EVENTUALLY a larger group (likely police) would come looking. It's not the best plan but it shouldn't be completely off the table.
I'm glad you decided to show a how to beat of this classic monster film, this movie is a great example of making a good monster movie on a budget! Any chance of showing a How To Beat video for another lesser known monster movie called Sabertooth? It's about a genetically created sabertooth tiger that has escaped and goes on a killing spree.
Love this movie! Born in 01 so been watching it for as long as I can remember! Totally agree that someone should’ve warned the doctor and his wife, but to be fair I would’ve definitely thought I’d be safe in my vehicle based on the feeler she seen come out of the hole Jim sank into. Also thinking that the feelers are individual animals and not the tongue of a larger animal I wouldn’t think it could get into my car or bury it either😅
On the topic of the Graboids' diet. They are said to be a very ancient species, the first movie says pre-cambrian which doesn't make any sense, but later movies at least say they're millions of years old. They seem to have only recently woken up or hatched. So the area being a mostly empty desert with no abundant prey could be a new thing for them. Maybe they're as aggressive as they are in the movie because they're starving, as they expected there to be more animals for them to feed.

I think this is the first time I've really disagreed with Nerd.
The total mass of the houses isn't the issue. They are cheap buildings placed on mostly sandy soil. Bert is probably the only one who might have foundations on bedrock. So the graboids can simply shift or damage the buildings one section at a time without needing to lift the whole thing.
While Bert's bunker is the best place for the town to rally to, they shouldn't stay there. It is the sturdiest building around but the rec room scene proves that it can be breached. The graboids can at the least destroy Bert's supplies and likely bring the building down given enough time. At the same time the gravel and stones around the bunker make baiting the graboids even more difficult.
The CAT is the towns best option, albeit dangerous to get to. They talk about the mass of the machine but it's the mobility and horsepower of the thing that makes it viable. The graboids can't move it easily or quickly, while it can break their hold. Once they have the CAT they should do an irregular circuit around the town to by time while they deploy a variety of sound traps and attacking any tentacle that get's within machete reach. And if the graboids start to get wise just strap some pipe bombs to Melvin and throw him over the side.
It honestly feels like he just really doesn't like the movie for some reason and is very specifically searching for reasons to be highly critical of all the decisions made in this movie. Tremors is probably one of the best examples of a horror movie with actually smart protagonists. Those road workers definitely weren't residents of the town and were sent out there to work on it so there's no way they would know old Fred and would've assumed they were being genuine. Telling them about the sheep probably would've made them believe them less. They just wanted to finish the job and leave. He criticized them for the pole vaulting thing and how the sound distraction would've been better, but they didn't know if they would go for the distraction every single time and the pole vaulting kept them off the ground and away from them. He also talks about how they should've prepared earlier by setting up sound traps but they were given very little time from when Val, Earl, and Rhonda were able to tell them that they were underground from when the worms arrived. It took everybody by surprise. They didn't know that being in the Gummer's basement would've been the better play at all because they didn't know about the worms until they got back into town. He also goes back and forth a lot between saving the people and not saving people. He says they should've used Melvin and Mindy as bait, then criticized Melvin for not saving Rhonda, and then criticized Val for saving Rhonda. Everything you addressed about staying in the town and why leaving is perfectly sound. I don't understand how he thinks they would be able to hunker down with the guns safely because they literally can't shoot them through the ground and trying to bait them out would've been extremely risky. He also just doesn't seem to understand how people react when they're panicked because he is constantly criticizing that people made a dumb decision when it was completely rational while they were panicked. I got a lot of cinemasins vibes from this guy. Specifically searching for the bad things of the movie and never thinking about it for more than 5 seconds. It doesn't seem like he weighed out the options at all. He literally called a dozer flimsy as hell because it was dusty.
@@sethmeaseles3301 Also, he kept saying the bombs scared them, when Rhonda literally screamed it doesn't, it hurts them because they are so sensitive to sound.
Sad this is the first of his videos I've watched because I just got annoyed lol especially since Tremors is my favourite movie
@@SchnippsHe ignored a lot of the dialogue, like when he was whining about them not going around the blocked off road or using their off road vehicles, when it's clearly stated that Burt's Jimmy is the only vehicle that can make it through the jeep trail.
@@babayaga7434I think that’s because a lot of the places where they were moving through were comparatively flat. Like, the area where the graboids ambushed the horses looked like something they could’ve easily driven over. But, Nerd also didn’t take into account that, while they probably COULD have driven over that, stopping to move one rock or boulder out of the way would’ve given the monsters time to rip their truck out from under them. I agree that driving out with Val and Earl’s truck wouldn’t have been a viable option, but I can see where someone could get that idea from some of the places that were shown in the movie.
21:00 they eat dirt, they're worms!!! WORMS! The protein is just a bonus
Burt is the Best Survivalist out there!! Love his character!!!👍
I didn't realise this until now 🤨 the first Graboid was killed, smashing into the concrete drainage/ditch wall. However, the Graboid in Burts basement came through that wall like it was made of paper! weird really, as I would have thought his house would be really bunker/vault fortified strong!
Burts basement was only a cinder block wall. The drainage ditch was reinforced concrete.
@@jakeguillemette9178 a proper bunker would have steel rods vertically/horizontally in the cinder blocks and the cinders blocks would be concrete filled (it's just good practise for solid construction as well).
@@retsaMinnavoiG Yeah you'd think Burt and his wife, of all people, would super reinforce their doomsday bunker considering they are preppers. I guess they thought it was ok since it was below ground and their normal apocalypse planning probably didn't include monster ground worms lol
The movie that started my love of monsters, thank you.
I love the tremors series (except tremor island, they shouldn’t have killed Burt)
at the end it should have showed him on his island, finally free since he faked his death...they did my boy dirty.
I don't think anyone liked Shrieker Island.
I disagree that the Gummers leaving is a bad idea.
The next worm they would have to kill would have to make a new hole in their wall. The size and damage the first worm did severely weakened the structure. A second worm inna new spot would undoubtedly make the basement bunker a very dangerous place to be.
Not to mention the worms could just bring down the top level, trapping them inside.
His decision to leave, was the right decision.
Either you risk hanging out and getting buried in the basement, or, you risk having the roof you're standing on to fall out from under you.
Sure, they could have attacked the worms from the roof, but it would have taken quite a bit of ammo with the earth adding extra armor to the worms. The bulldozer idea isn't bad until the worms figure out the trench idea. It's mass is compact, denser. More solid. Makes it harder for the worms to lift or move such force. A home has it weight spread about more, more oddly distributed. Offers weak points, they weren't lifting the homes and large structures up, they couldn't even lift up the trailers and RVs. They could top em over, move them a bit, but not lift up. And the graboids only do that on stationary targets, giving them time to dig under you. So, moving would be a good option.
Id give staying at the bunker a fifty fifty shot at working. Id give the bulldozer escape plan about the same chance. So, I wouldn't call it a bad decision on Burts part. It's a judgement call, and it's a crap shoot. I tend to agree with him, in that scenario, it's better to be on the move.
I love that SpongeBob realization 16:53

@@llongone2I love that gem - he played the role perfectly
Sadly no sequel 😢@@llongone2
I don't think the Graboids ever lift a whole building all in one go like Superman. Rather, they pry up one corner then another, knock out supports, undermine the flooring, slowly weakening the structure. The CAT does weigh less than the general store, but it is much denser, more compact and made of steel rather than wood and concrete.
As far as the realities of their biology is concerned, considering it is a monster movie, there are all sorts of explanations for calorie intake. Maybe there is a whole underground ecosystem under the desert that has been previously undiscovered, and the encroachment of man is just the newest item on the menu. IIRC the sequels basically end up saying that they are hyper-adaptive and evolve pretty much immediately (at one point there's even flying ones but its been ages since I've seen the sequels.) The barbed wire fence left around "for no reason" was also foreshadowed both in the movie and in your script earlier in the video; our dynamic duo are lazy, get-rich-quick dreamers that abandoned working on the fences after one post, leaving the rest of it lying around.
What a Classic! Glad you're doing this movie.

I’d be willing to bet that a random gunshot out there in the middle of Nowhere wouldn’t be THAT alarming.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a makeshift gun range out there somewhere
My area is way larger than perfection and it's not abnormal to hear literal explosions. Not just guns.
Plenty of coyotes that could go after cattle and varmints people would just shoot in the desert.
@@damonbeza3767 Heck why even bother with a gun range when in a nowhere desert were you can just aim at distant rocks.
As a person from Nevada, I can say that people in that type of town would be used to hearing gunshots in the desert.
"They should've hunkered down instead of leaving the area" So what? Give the Graboids enough time to Figure out an way to get em?
"Burt's Rec room perfectly stopped an Graboid" Ummmm no, Graboid effortlessly Breached through that shit, They are lucky that the graboid only gone for the wall instead of the floor
"They should've stayed on the roof and used sound traps to lure them so that Burt and Reba can shoot them" Ummm no, Do you know what an bullet cannot pierce easily? A GODDAMN DIRT, Even with something like Elephant Gun, Its not gonna go through like shown in the GODDAMN MOVIE, Unless you have something like 950 JDJ rifle (which only 3 of them exists) you ain't gonna just shoot them through the dirts, Also Burt's Bunker which is covered in gravel, You cannot lure the graboids in that shit, Unironically trapping yourself
"The Bulldozer is unreliable as its only weight 20 tons whilst the store weights well over 30" Umm no, Its not about total weight, Its about Mass, Mobility and Horsepower, Than thing can shake any attempts of the graboid trying to topple it over with force and the Store was ticking time bomb as graboids begun to Study its structure and started to dig under it to collapse it, Plus the Graboid can easily bust it down as it was shown in the GODDANG MOVIE WHERE IT EASILY BUSTED OUT FROM THE FLOOR!!!
Kevin Bacon's Sidekick Earl looks like a time traveling Jon Bernthal. Great character actor. The sidekick to heroes and villains throughout the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
Nerd Explains is so much better than any other the other how to channels. Both for survival and for banter.
Honestly, while the franchise on the whole had its ups and downs, you can't deny that it's a great series of movies, (and the tv show was good too), and while my personal favorite is the fourth one, the first one deserves a lot of credit for how it did things. In particular, compared to most monster movies, the vast majority of the movie is in broad daylight, the victims are just everyday people trying to live their lives in a normal small town, and the monster is something that's both simple and effective. The movie honestly doesn't even have that big of a body count compared to most monster movies who rely too much on "everyone dies" to make the monsters seem more terrifying.
Finally. So glad to see you cover this amazing movie

I’ll leave a comment for this
I didn't think of all of the points made, but even as a kid I wondered why, when the last graboid came out of the ground looking for Val and company, Burt chose to hit the ground with the butt of his proven ELEPHANT RIFLE instead of...shooting the graboid. I get it, he wasn't as close and it may not have been a fatal shot. But a couple .60ish holes in the thing isn't really any more dumb of an approach than anything else.
Also, cliffs are by definition thick rock. This movie would have made infinitely more sense in rural Montana.
Ummmm be didn't shoot because they aren't accurate enough at that range to not maybe hit the three people standing right next to it???
@@Schnipps Dude shoots as a retirement hobby. He can hit stuff.
@@danno938While it's 100% in range, there doesn't appear to be enough visible to cause a meaningful blow, especially after seeing the one tank hundreds of rounds of ammo in the rec room scene. Not just that, but the danger of sending a round that powerful down range with people in the vicinity of your target is not really something you risk unless it's the last option.
Also, being a recreational shooter doesn't mean much if your gun isn't accurate. I can stack at 700 yards with my .308, while my vastly more energetic 300 WBY is going to have some flyers
My brothers and I were obsessed with this film when we were kids. We would play it anywhere and everywhere we went. Just stay off the ground and use creative methods to move from one point to another.
My head cannon is that Burt was 100% trying to get Melvin killed when he handed him an empty gun. He was totally hoping Melvin would be a moron and try and one man stand one of them and get eaten.
It's a valid point at the end of the third movie. Burt has an alarm on one that can't go to Shriekers and sics it on Melvin.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS
yes this is what i have been waiting for a youtuber like you to cover this thank you
Good to see you're adding some classics. Appreciate your content 💪💪
The basement "Held up perfectly against the worms"? A single one burst through the wall with relative ease. Burt and Reba are lucky it went through the wall and not the floor.
Yeah, honestly this video was not great. He also claims they could just use sound traps to lure the graboids close and then Burt and Reba can just shoot them to death. Except they literally tried that in the movie and discovered that they couldn't even damage it through the dirt. I love this channel, but this video was a major swing and a miss lol.
That wall always bugged me because in real life it would have had rebar and concrete in the bricks to stop the dirt from caving the wall In.
In defense of the bulldozer plan. The graboid was lifting the sides and corners of the general store, which would take significantly less force to do than what you implied. The bulldozer has its' weight more compressed in comparison.
If you remember earlier in the movie, they were able to rip off one of the tongues with the truck. The truck of course has a lot less pulling power and traction than the bulldozer.
This and the second are always going to be on the top of my movie list so great to see you tackle it!
FINALLY!!! 🎉 Next Challenge: the whole series (but specifically the last two) please 🙏
I feel like Burt Gommer and the Nerd would be great friends
Tremors. The only movie I've seen where the characters make the best course of action they possibly could and took precautions with all the knowledge they had
You keep giving them flak for not using an offroad vehicle when it was blatantly stated, several times, that the only back way out needed SERIOUS offroad things not just a rear wheel drive lifted truck
You're starting to make me think you DIDN'T watch the entire movie at the pole vault part. They specifically stop and wait for Ronda to get her keys out because, and I quote, "He's gonna be all over us the second we hit that truck" and talked about how it buried the doctor's station wagon

*How to survive the Graboids:* Sacrifice kids 😂
I love this movie so much. Thank you for covering it.
I love this movie because the characters aren't idiots they for the most part and realistic and have good ideas and the graboids aren't invincible horror monsters they are just super dangerous animals that can be delt with by average people who are smart about it. The graboids weren't lifting the buildings they were undermining them and causing them to fall apart.
Nerd's intros NEVER miss.
I can see where a lot of these points are coming from, but a lot of them just aren't well thought out. He talks a lot about how they should've fortified the town and laid traps or stayed in the Gummer's bunker but they literally didn't know about the worms being underground until Val, Earl, and Rhonda had seen them and told the town within a very short time of when the worms got to town. There's no way they could've prepared in the amount of time they had. They even show why the bunker is a bad idea because the graboids are able to break through the walls. They could just slowly chip away at all the walls until they would've been completely surrounded and there was very little chance to survive. The point about the buildings being sturdy and that they're too heavy for the worms to break was completely invalidated if he actually watched the movie. They were literally collapsing the buildings and it didn't matter if the people were making sound or not. He talked about how they should've used distractions instead of pole vaulting, but how far could they throw the rocks to attract the worms awy without any problems. Being on the ground at any point would've been extremely risky and the pole vaulting assured that they eould be away from the ground and a lot more safe if anything did go wrong. He makes it seem like everyone wasn't talking and plotting through any of their plans and made them up on a whim, but they literally spend time talking through their choices and their line of reasoning. He also expects way too much from people who are definitely in a panicked state. Your partner gets suddenly dragged into the ground and you have no clue why or how and you desperately want to try and save them. She ran to the car because she though she could possibly get away but didn't have the keys. If she had managed to get out of the car while it was being pulled underground, she probably wouldn't have made it far cause the graboid probably would've sensed that she was running away and would've gone after her. There wasn't much for anyone to do at any point if they were taken by surprise since they bever really knew what they were going up against.
WOO, YEAH BABY! THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

"Mocking the son of a shepherd..." Did I just hear an Ed, Ed and Eddy reference?! I love this channel!
So glad to see a How to beat of this great movie. Do Critters, please!
The concrete barrier that killed the first one much smaller than the other three which is why it died. After burt takes the 2nd one out you can clearly see the size difference. Staying at Burt's really wasn't an option either as they easily could have collapsed the basement, seeing as it's only a cinder block of thickness. Criticizing the use of the tractor is also incorrect. To the graboids the tractor is a small house in weight but it also moves. Something they haven't encountered before. They can dig out the bottom of a house because it's fixed to a location.
As far as their behaviour they actually do just sit and wait for prey to come nearby, until the last few weeks of the first part of their life cycle. The ones we see in the movie have just started the becoming pregnant with the 2nd phase. Causing them to become more aggressive and hunting down the largest targets they can.
As far as flipping a moving vehicle, while not impossible it's extremely unlikely as this would also put them at risk. If you think they would do a full breach like a great white shark, while possible they wouldn't unless it's the last hours of stage 1. They have no way to get back underground once fully exposed.
Oh it was absolutely the best option. the worms already demonstrated the ability to demolish buildings. A couple more holes and Burts bunker would collapse. He seems to absolutely ignore the fact the monsters were tearing the buildings out form under them. His criticisms only hold up for people who didn't actually watch the movie. He acts like lifting a 6000lb Trunk is the same as a 60,000 pound bulldozer.
I think he just struggles with a film where the people actually behaved reasonably with the knowledge they had at the time.
@@keeperofnecronomicon nerd is actually pretty good, just with this movie he kinda missed the mark. I watched this on its VHS release as a kid, and wouldn't walk on anything that wasn't concrete for a week. The first 3 movies do tell a lot about the graboids and are actually very entertaining. The first two are easily the best out of I think they are on 6 movies now. Last I heard they wanted to do a remake as long as the baconator is in it.

Thank you nerd for covering my favorite movie.
Now we just need nerd to cover tremors 2 and 3 then the best movies if the tremors series is complete.
mean an animal that big being carnivorous and high energy isnt unheard of it just requires prey that is also that big and hence more energy dense plants like conifers and ferns at high carbon dioxide levels which is what we seen during the Mesozoic period
Right away I was thinking nerd is guna love Burt. Easily the most bad ass character in all of the movies.
Please do at least the first 3 tremors! One of my all time favorite series
i've never been this early for an upload before, but the fact it's for tremors makes me so happy that i was
Tie c-4 to a toy car and sit back and watch and wait then once the graboid eats the toy car then set the C-4 off oh wait that is the second tremors move 😂 I love tremors i grew up on the films
22:53 - So, just drop a thermal detonator to create a vibration, and when a worm closes in on that, turn on Force Speed and... Oh, wait!!! Nevermind!
Oh yeah the final movie with Bart when he start outrunning the graboid
I hear The Devil went down to Georgia playing in the background great song 👍 👍 😂
They could not even live in the northern part of Georgia from all the rocks in the ground
To be fair a bulldozer like in the movie (not a loader like the animation you used) isn't actually a terrible idea.
Even if the worms can still bump it, it's built so solid for being in construction sites and doing heavy work that's unlikely the worms can damage it, and it has so much traction having tracks instead of tires that the worms would like be unable to knock it off course. All they might succeed in doing is lifting it a tiny bit from time to time.
Like I said it has tracks, so the worms can't stop it by taking out the tires like a truck. It has no tires.
These also have so much horsepower, these things are build to plow dirt. The worms would have no hope stopping it by trying to grab hold it. As seen when Val backed into the cliff, the worms was able to grab and stall out a pickup truck. But a heavy duty bulldozer... yeah good luck with that worms.
And while it seems this one doesn't have it (due to needing to tow a trailer) not only do these bulldozers have a big plow or scoop in the front, but they also often has these huge rakes in the back which if you caught a worn on the surface (in it's feeble attempts to somehow stop you) and you put those ranks down. Yeah, I don't think the worms are going to have a very good time.
Now the worms in this movie does stop the bulldozer by digging a trap which, I'll be frank, I call bullshit on that. As stated in this movie these things hunt via vibration, not even sound. You can't see underground, you can't smell underground, and I doubt you can hear very well either. These worms are quite literally blind and deaf with no sense of smell. They hunt via vibration. Something moves on the surface, be it a footstep or basically anything that movies, it causes vibration. The worms detect this vibration and goes towards to to hunt whatever is making said vibration. So how in the hell does these worms know how to go ahead of the bulldozer, to land where there is no vibration, and dig a trap? That should be impossible for these things.
My biggest concern about using a bulldozer to flee town, and what the movie should had done instead of making the worms magically capable of digging traps, would just be have the bulldozer run out out fuel. These things have massive thirsty engines and move very slow, I doubt they get very good miles to the gallon. On top of that, Val didn't exactly have time to check and make sure the tank was full. He ran to the thing, started it, hooked up a trailer and drove off before the worms could eat him. The could left town with a half tank, quarter tank, dang near empty tank of fuel, they don't know. The bulldozer running out of fuel would have made a lot more sense I think then the worms digging a trap... somehow.
But yeah I don't think a bulldozer is necessarily a stupid choice against these worms, heck the thing is basically a tank to these worms. But the fuel situation would concern me if my plan to track across the desert to safety.
The bombs sound isn't what hurts them its the explosive shockwave

This is 1 of many movies/situations where the plan to hunker down is the best option. Also, Nancy does actually make a point about people coming to look for them. There is a scene (I forget which cut of the movie) of another road worker having shown up & gotten eaten. With now 3 workers not checking in or otherwise unaccounted for in a remote desert valley people outside the valley WILL take notice. It might take a few more guys getting eaten but eventually the road work company would be calling the police about a bunch of missing workers &/or the massive rock slide blocking the road. All of that is just on the road workers end though. What about the mailman & delivery drivers for the store? Surely, at least 1 of them would report the blocked road & abandoned vehicles? Or be reported missing by their family/employers if they get eaten & don't continue their routes? Again, it might take a few days &/or guys getting eaten but eventually help would come.
It's in the full movie, you see another car with the construction workers helmet on the ground in the other side of the rocks
So yea, getting checked on didn't help
@@Schnipps As I said it would probably take more people getting eaten but EVENTUALLY a larger group (likely police) would come looking. It's not the best plan but it shouldn't be completely off the table.

On the topic of the Graboids' diet. They are said to be a very ancient species, the first movie says pre-cambrian which doesn't make any sense, but later movies at least say they're millions of years old. They seem to have only recently woken up or hatched. So the area being a mostly empty desert with no abundant prey could be a new thing for them. Maybe they're as aggressive as they are in the movie because they're starving, as they expected there to be more animals for them to feed.
You see "gun nuts" I see what EVERY American should strive for.
