If he made a hundred Tremors movies I'd watch them all.
I mean by law if anyone has ever seen a tremors movie you have to watch every single one and once a year watch all the movies, shoot guns, and pay your taxes on Burt Gummer Day lol but for reals that's *LAW*
I can't wait for Tremors 10 -worms in space.
Jamie Kennedy I feel made a good addition, so Bert can be Bert.
Me too He is Burt Gummer!😉
Me to
@@mremu4358 don’t forget the mini series as well!😂
Burt was the reason I kept up with the series. Michael's acting made the series from just a B movie world to a A+ franchise.
Agreed. He never phones in his performance. It's so clear that he loves playing the character
Very true. Michael gross is my hero.
Absolutely love Michael. Tremors isn't tremors without him.
Yeap, he made the series!
Agreed
I call it the burt show
Sadly he died at the end of the last one.
@@andrewcabral963 Apparently Burt died. Remember, they only found glasses and a hat. An explosion doesn't disintegrate (usually), it blows stuff apart. And seeing as how you can easily tell Graboid and Human remains apart... well, nothing of Burt, but a whole lot of Graboid. I'm not necessarily holding out, just pointing out that we really don't know if that's the case.
I have lost count how many times I have watched first Tremors movie, never gets old
Same my mrs hates it 🤣🤣
I've made a RUFF estimate that comes in well under the probable number, and it's still 850 times =) so far in life. still lots more opportunity to watch.
I think I've watched it close to 50 times?
Same here. I'm watching & typing this at the same time. Lol
We have to more I repeat 2 more Mother Humpers
Best line I'm completely out of ammo thats never happened to me before
I think that's the only time Burt was legitimately pissed off. All the other times he was just annoyed.
I like the one line he used ( Is your heard up your a**for the warmth) haha Tremor 3 Back to Perfection.
The reason I am out of 9mm rounds is that I was not properly briefed.
@@kimperry9039
I feel I was denied CRITICAL NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION
Burt taught me if you think you have enough ammo, carry even more. ^.-.^
"When you need it and don't have it, you sing a different tune"- Burt Gummer
A true genius.
Gross is that ROHO
I feel I was denied ... critical...need to know..... INFORMATION
The best line
“I’m completely out of ammo, that never happened to me before” Burt gummers
Well when the comms when out I decided to head back to the refinery then it turns out
IM IN AN AMBUSH SITUATION
@@caydenrowe9115 he is a unique character when they made tremors and Micheal didn’t think the tremors films would become a cult classic
@@roronoazoro99 true that
@@caydenrowe9115 I will miss his character and I grew up watching these since I was a kid in the early 90’s
The Tremors TV show was criminally underappreciated. Christopher Loyd is a lot of fun to see in the Tremors universe.
Anyways Michael seems like such an all around class act. Thanks for doing this Q & A!
I completely agree.
He blew me away too!
TV show?.. I seriously never even knew there was a TV show, and ive seen all the tremors movies. Even the ones with B-rad from Malibu's Most Wanted.
@@darkerdaemon7794 there are only 13 episodes but they are 45 minutes at least. It got screwed over as the sci Fi channel aired the episodes out of order and it got cancelled halfway through the first season.
The TV show is definitely the dark horse of the franchise! Really enjoyed it, and thought it captured the tone while expanding the mythology. Tyler Reed was also one of the best co-lead characters, and did admirably during the Burt-less tail end of the show. It was a treat to discover and boost my spirits after the end of Shrieker Island.
I’ve listened to interviews with Michael before. He strikes me as such a grounded humble person. Someone who would be nice to meet.
If you find a way, let me know. I love him!
@@jenpeterson3712 😁👍
See if a sci-fi convention would sponsor him.
He is and unlike so many celebrities today he keeps his personal life private, that's what I admire most about him.
@@kennethboyer2338 many celebrities do try. The bloody paparazzi follow them like a bad smell and make it near impossible.
Beautiful man. Brilliant actor.
I love the fact that he's been in EVERY SINGLE TREMORS MOVIE.
Tremors ain't Tremors without Burt Gummer!
But the last one, they killed him off.
Well Burt is in all but the one with his great grand father Hiram but the franchise wouldn't have done as well with out Michael as Burt/Hiram Gummer
@@marshamoore8385 nonsense, you can't kill Burt Gummer! He will return!
YES!!!
"Do what you can, with what you got"
as someone born with a disability, i'm legally blind, that line has helped me get through some difficult times trying to live my life dealing with the challenges most people don't. Thank you Michael Gross and Burt Gummer for helping me keeping going even when I felt I couldn't.
He is the heart of tremors. Burt Gummer is my soul animal. Lol.
They better bring him back in tremors 8. 😁👍
I agree with you. 👍
I can see him showing up and saying "So I hear you have a problem?".
I hope they have more mney and time to make the movie. Just so no one gets hurt.
@@galactic_socialist Ha!!! Well he was eaten by a graboid before and he survived.
@@galactic_socialist LOL they can always bring him back as a ghost or a memory.
The percambrian hunter has returned!
Michael, Fred and Kevin Are the faces that come to mind when i think of Tremors.
The second Tremors is my fav. Fred and Michael taking the lead in that film was great. The chemistry just worked well.
Kevin abandoned tremors after he got more success
Respect political family instegators of what's caused by an a federal white man the queen and as United State patriots are support of it along with global idiots of señority leads, that's selfish.
Michael Gross is the brand, he's the Rambo of the Tremors franchise
Micheal is the heart of the tremors series. Burt Gummer is the voice in my head!
Not once have I failed to smile whenever this man does something related Tremors. He is what makes it what it is and carried the series. Admittedly the past 3 movies were not great (that has everything to do with Universal cutting out Stampede Entertainment and the original writers of the series) but I came back every time for Burt. Always a character we will never grow tired of. Always a stellar performance.
my hero growing up
During lockdown last year I binged every Tremors movie 3x through.
Try & find the t.v. series...it's worth a watch!
I did the same as well as the TV series.
Wouldn’t be the same series without you!😁👍
Mr Gross “Tremors” is a little but very important part of my childhood. I know you are a Philosoph: Doing what i can with what i got !!! Sometimes simple words can changed somebodys life! Thank you so much to make a part of my life !!!!
I honestly think they need to do ONE more film. End it where it all began... in Perfection.
They did. Tremors III: Back to Perfection was intended to be the wrapping up of the trilogy. This is the main reason Tremors IV was a western prequel, to preserve the ending that III gave. But if you wanted more, Tremors: The Series continued after the events of III.
@@mothlamp8466 ... ok, but the 7th ended on a sour note. And it was quite a large scale film. I think we need a nice smaller scale film, set back in Perfection, that ends on a high note.
@@CommanderOfTheSun maybe one that also raps up the loose ends from the series.
@@brandonangstman I always pictured the ending being that El Blanco was dying from old age, and Burt finds him on the surface with labored breathing and he just sits with him until he dies and then he has a moment of lamentation before the final scene shows him moving on with his life for...some reason.
@@supersaiyandiclonius3056 sounds interesting, my idea is having his son who feels guilty for not being there for Burt going through his bunker and discoving the documents Burt collected on the secret government lab he could never find. Maybe they could get Reba to return as his mourning ex who's just found out about his death. Oh and his son keeps hallucinating Burt is there talking to him! ( that way Burt can still kinda appear and steal the spotlight.)
Nice seeing more Tremors even if the movies are done.
@GregoryPaulSmithGPS lets hope not!!! I hope they bring him back... 🙏
The movies aren't necessarily done. Sure, Burt my have been eaten, but it's not the first time. Alternatively can anyone else outside of Nick Fury who is more likely to fake his death?
My favorite line; “I feel, I was denied- critical -need to know- information!” Great delivery.
That contest sounds like a great thing for the young fans. He sounds so down to earth and grateful to have been a part of Tremors and the fandom
There's an election coming in the fall here in Canada. I think I'll write in Burt Gummer!
Burt a politician? Probably the very thing he hates? That's either a terrible or brilliant idea. He would be the poster child for PICness.
Burt connected with the government? He will hate that! "Do It!".
Trudeau will rig the vote. Why bother?
On my 10th birthday my mom took me and my friends to see Tremors, have loved the franchise ever since.
Bro, I watched the tremors movies in my childhood. I'm really glad I grew up with it. It's one of my favorite movie series of all time.
He's in pretty good shape for his age, he's like 74 but looks like he's in his early 60s.
Burt Gummer is my hero!! Thankyou Michael Gross
As much as I've enjoyed seeing Michael in the movies, I'd still like to see a revival with one, or 2, or 5, of the original cast...except for poor Walter I guess. I don't think he really ever recovered from dying. Great job over the years Mr. Gross, thank you greatly !
Yeah that would be great, Kevin Bacon was trying to do a soft reboot of tremors that I guess would be set after the first movie. It got declined for production, but the trailer looked pretty good.
The last couple movies were straight up bizarre lmaooo.
IT WAS COOL how Bert Gummer finally "Went Out" in the last Tremors movie.
Tremors and Critters, two of my favorite off beat movie franchise’s. The Burt Gummer character is Iconic. Thank you.
Imagine if Critters and Burt Gummer crossed paths...
@@jmorlar2852 That would be a movie worthy of watching
Every time I hear the name 'Burt Gummer' I chuckle and smile. A perfectly styled character for the work, and brought to life by a mild mannered TV dad. Also, he's really the only reason to watch most of the sequels.
He'll always be Burt Gummer lol
Stay safe and stay healthy, sir.
My dad absolutely loved your character. Was his favorite part of the franchise.
When you can go word for word for the first 3 movies, I watched them over and over and over again day and night as a kid growing up. Acted like I was killing graboids and all of it! Thanks for all the great movies!
You got to remember to laugh as well as having a good time
Can't picture anyone else playing Burt but him...
Burt is the only reason I still watch tremors
What an absolute gentleman Michael is, he really pulled out the stops and created a legend in Burt Gummer. I watched the films growing up, and now my kids love them too, long may they continue.
This man is a national treasure. Huge fan of this gentle soul. Wish I could meet him someday and tell him so. Burt is my Hero
😢 why can't they bring him back for just one more , i still can't get enough even after all these decade's
Dead? Really don't know for sure, a small town or camp in graboid trouble and when all looks dire, he is standing on the hill with the sun behind him next to his truck with a mounted belt fed .50......only, mini gun. But keeping up with the times😁
Couldn't imagine anyone else being Burt. Every actor wishes they could be as iconic in a role.
Best quote of all time. "I am completely out of ammo... That's never happened to me before. "
Loved him so much better as a gun toting survivalist than I did as the hippy, PBS, guns are bad, flower power, tree hugger on "Family Ties".
They need another tremors movie with Michael gross Kevin bacon and Fred ward.
l love you burt gummer
Legend 💪👍
Michael has something else to his credit ! He's a model railroader !
One Graboid downvoted this!
#1 is my favorite and not just my favorite Tremors movie, but my favorite movie of all time. I can watch it over and over and over again and I never get tired of it.
You made these movies the bomb. Thank you Michael Gross. Mr. Burt Gummer. You can see the evolution of Burt being the leading roll. Intro in 1 and then the epic supporting roll in 2 and the finale the epic intro of the main star in 3 and you know the rest.
One of my all time favorite movies.
Michael Gross, you made this franchise what it is today and your dedication to it will never EVER not be appreciated. Burt is a legend and so are you. RIP Burt Gummer
Dear Michael,
you gave us so much, I can´t express how worthy your work is for us.
Thank you, for all your passionate work.
Thank you.
This man just puts a smile on my face, his character Burt Gummer is one of my favorite childhood and adult heroes.
Watched these movies with my kids when they first came out. Now I am watching them with my grandkids. Burt is our hero!
would be interesting to have a tremors film in the louisiana swamps.
Michael Gross is Tremors. He's perfect for sci-fi and action movies. Thanks, Michael...
Michael Gross is the cooooolest. 😍
As a kid I watched that movie all the time, as an adult I appreciate Burt even more!
im here because i just finish watching the movie series, i love this guy. he carries very well the whole francise.
My favorite line, I feel I was denied critical need to know information, and my second, it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. These are the lines that I live my life by
Michael Gross IS the Tremors franchise. Without him I'm not watching! I loved the TV series so much too! This was my childhood and I am going to be getting the FULL dvd collection when I can. THANK YOU Michael Gross! You helped raise me.
I've got all the films and the t.v. show on DVD. Look them up on Amazon.
i feel like they could make another sequel. wipe the slate clean, make a direct sequel to the original film and ignore the other films, bring back the original cast and set it 31 years after the first film. it worked for Halloween it can definitely work for tremors. most importantly Michael would HAVE to be back. its not tremors without him. he's always given the franchise 110 percent and it wouldn't still be around without him.
Kevin bacon said it's the only sequal he'd do.
Michael's character Burt is a great character and only because of the great job done by the actor. My favorite line was the I was denied critical need to know information. A great series of movies. These monster movies will be up on the list of all time great monster movies.
Great role, great character, great actor!
Thank you Mr.Gross ,for all the Tremors movies & the t.v. series you did. I've watched them all soooooo many times. You OWN the character of Bert Gummer,& he is a pop culture & cult icon. Thank you for all you do sir...Stay safe .
Please come with another blast in next movie
Shame about the tv series with Kevin bacon that was planned that looked good ! Still never found the pilot of it
@GregoryPaulSmithGPS thought this channel had the pilot episode
@GregoryPaulSmithGPS This channel periodically releases the episodes for free to watch.
I have the t.v. series on DVD. Look it up on Amazon.
@@pattonsplace41477 the one with Kevin bacon in called perfection? I thought that never got made
@@leapoldstotch4987
There was a Tv series after tremors 3
But the Kevin bacon show got cancelled before it was released ( for reasons I don’t know )
Our hero! Thanks for the decades of fun... when number 5 released, I got to sit with my son and watch.. and now he's watched them all!
My friend Stu and I have tremors weekends every year. Burt is his spirit animal 🤣.
Love ya Michael! Every movie and episode!
Wish we could get a freaking decent game already haha.
Bur Gummer, America's most underrated action hero! And, this was a great interview!
Thank you Mr. Gross for being Burt Gummer. No ONE could have been Burt but you!
God bless Bert :) absolutely heroic dedication
He was born for the role!:) Semper Fidelis
"When you need it, and don't have it - you sing a different tune."
He's the best I don't think anyone ever been more dedicated to a franchise.
Love you Michael your the only reason I kept watching those movies I can never imagine the series without this man
I clicked faster than my dad left to get milk
He'll come back with a pack of smokes, watch.
Burt Gummer will be remembered in history as one of our legendary characters. we need him now to fight the gun graboids
The character of Burt was wonderful. I just rewatched the original Tremors in the last few weeks and still thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent interview.
While the subsequent movies were not as good as the original, Michael elevated all of them and entertained me without fail. Always wished that Hollywood would have used him a lot more in diverse major projects, but alas to no avail.
Fantastic interview. Burt Gummer is a walking talking meme machine, but Michael makes him human.
Big fan, Miss all the other original characters though too.
Breaks my heart they killed my hero Burt Gummer still my hero
What a decent bloke he is.
I really miss old burt with black mustache!! And his white cap!
Miss that Atlanta Hawks hat...lol
Michael, you were what made the series the success that it was. Burt gummer is a character that i enjoy thourally! Tremors and Farscape were the two most favorite shows of my lifetime....
One of my first and favorite series ever.
Burt Gummer needs to go out driving a big tank. I am still so hopeful for more movies. Michael Gross you always do an amazing job acting and just being a dang amazing person. Thank you for all the joy you bring to our hearts.
Right now Burt's officially dead Died flipping off the camera and the Graboid Queen and blown up by a really cool badass lady and Napoleon Dynamite.
Burt was my hero growing up 💪🏼
The first three Tremors are the best. I watched them over and over growing up! And of course, he was my favorite character! "I am completely, out, of ammo...that's never happened to me before."
I haven't really been a fan of Tremors since the 4th movie, but I keep coming back for Michael.
Amazing character. One of the brightest ever.
Thanks for the Interview Michael! Always great to hear from your perspective on the films! Burt Gummer will never die!
Yes, the "I feel I was denied critical, need-to-know, information" is a great one to quote on the job ...
From the height of Gummer in T2: "Two pounds of C4," a rock plinks his helmet "is a bit excessive." Though I think the scene in his rec-room also more than qualifies.
To the low of his walking way, covered in Graboid blood & entrails after having to get cut out in T3.
Probably the 2 extremes.
*4 pounds and it was a chain link that hit his helmet.
Yeah I'm a nerd. Back to the basement I go.
@@TheCowboyfromhell87 Never looked close enough to realize it was a piece of chain. I know it was the one he reported to Earl as having the chain in it's mouth...they ofc heard it well enough despite the range.
