OMG that detail of Burt checking the gun even though he knew it’s wasn’t loaded is one of the BEST attention to details for a character ever put to screen. This is why we love Burt. As you said, sure he’s the butt of some jokes but he’s not a dumb character at all.
The guy that plays him is actually a pretty good actor
Just noticed the same thing. Gonna have to rewatch. It’s really well made
@@nobodyjustacreep but he’s a gun grab an idiot real life
People who are savvy with logistics tend to value the importance of protocol.
Edit/Note: In Big Five terms, that's associated with trait Conscientiousness.
Not only is it one of the best horror ever made, especially on such a limited budget, but it's also one of the greatest animal attack films too. It's able to pull off that rare feat of perfectly balancing the line between funny and scary, and the practical effects are amazing.
It’s such a funny and quotable movie but also never at the expense of the horror and suspense
It's the perfect creature movie behind Jaws. I can watch it anytime without getting bored.
For me Aliens, or Predator.
Hot Fuzz, D2, and The Big Lebowski are also on my list.
Tremor is one of the few movie you can watch pretty much on loop and never, ever get bored of.
i dunno what kind of magic there is into it, perhaps the fact every single character is so great and likable, but it's indeed a freakin' masterpiece.
Kevin Bacon really should be proud of it, one of the best movie of his career, god do i miss that era of hollywood...
Agreed. Part 2 is great too. The rest suck.
@@MartyMcFly88 well let say i managed to enjoy the other for what they were, pretty much more reasons for Earl to pull the heavy artillery and blow shit up ;)
let say he's a bit of a spirit animal among the gun nuts community.
@@MartyMcFly88 I like the 4th one but only bc it made me realize how good of an actor Micheal Gross is. He can be in a western themed tremors movie and he still takes it 100% seriously
I miss that era of hollywood too :(
@@ItsaKindOfMagic86 I watch this movie several times a year - it never gets old.
One of my late mother's favourite movies. She'd have been 95 this year.
Not balls but courage. Balls are fragile.😂
I remember seeing this with my dad at a $2 cinema at Ft. Bragg. Burt was my favorite character, the humor was great, and the graboid effects were great.
Was the name of the theater omni
@@videoj81 hard to remember. I was 11 at the time.
A few years back Alamo Drafthouse hosted a special screening of Tremors with Kevin Bacon in the audience for a Q&A. He still can’t believe this movie became this popular. Was great to see it with him there.
I saw this with my dad in 1990 at the theater at the age of 7 and we quoted this film for years and years. It was our movie, our own personal 1950s Style horror comedy and Buddy film. My dad being the wise Earl Bassett and me as Val and both of us loving Burt. We saw ourselves in those characters.
In my top 5 movies from my childhood list all day. Kevin and Fred were the perfect buddy team.
RIP Fred Ward
YES!!
I grew up watching this movie on the Navajo Nation when I was younger.
I saw it on NBC back in 1993 or 1994.
It was a fun ride.
The idea came from Brent Maddock and SS Wilson, they were in the Navy, they were sitting on a large rock in a Nevada test site and one of them said, "what if there was something under the ground that would never let us of this rock?" And thus TREMORS was born.
I flippin' love Tremors. Saw it eleven times...in theaters. A great film all the way around. Every single person who worked on the film deserved an award. The script, the acting, the effects. The correct name for the town: Perfection!
I just rewatched tremors a few months ago. It’s cheesy but it still holds up as a fun film. Def worth the watch for people who haven’t seen it.
By the way, I know that he hadn't passed away when you filmed this and put it together, but rest in peace, Fred Ward. We loved your work.
Great video! And you didn't even mention how great Reba McIntyre is as Burt's wife. She is just as smart as him and saves his life. Nowadays they'd intentionally make the wife smarter and cram it down our throats, but in Tremors it doesn't come across as forced at all and she seems exactly like the type of women a guy like Burt would want by his side because he appreciates that about her.
This is truly a perfect film.
Reba McEntire’s performance is underrated in this film. Her and Michael Gross had great chemistry as well.
Hell, the whole cast had great chemistry.
OMG that's Reba?!!!
One of the most rewatchable films ever made 😎
An absolute favorite of my childhood! I was barely knee height when I seen this movie and instantly fell in love and fear! Back when VHS tapes were too expensive to buy our local rental place Video update had a 5 for 5 for 5 deal on Tuesdays. You could rent 5 movies for 5 days for 5 dollars! Every week I would beg my mom to head to the video store and this one was always my first choice. Mom would pick some too. Did this for a year or two until I was given a vhs copy for Christmas. Still have it!
Rest In Peace Fred Ward!!!
And I can’t thank you enough Michael Gross for continuing to direct/ produce installments in this cult classic genre!
Always remember Burt Gummer day! April 14!!!
This movie was really fun to watch whenever it was aired at tv during my childhood. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon together.
One of the best! I always thought it was inspired by the Atari Dig Dug commercial where an underground creature disrupts a couple’s porch.
It's a classic that I've owned in VHS, DVD, and anything it comes out. As a liked this movie so much that could recite the dialog, now as an adult just love it more.
I will always have a place in my heart for the first Tremors. One thing I do like about the franchise is that they never replace a character with a different actor. The character themselves just leave the universe. It’s sad in some ways. To see Earl down and out after Val left with Ronda and the same with Burt after Heather left him is unfortunate. But Miquel come back in part 3 with the same actor or Arianna Richards come back as a grown up Mindy, it’s brings a great level of continuity. Even Melvin returning as a land developer.
Watched this 30 years ago as a kid. One of the best horror flicks of that era.
Couldn't agree more. The sequels are fun, but the original is so full of love. Great snippet of character dialogue right at the outset, when Val asks Earl if a cattle event is to be considered a stampede, is there a requirement of minimum speed? Hilarious throwaway line, so good, the viewer's ears prick up so as to not miss the next one. Right away, we're fully awake.
Tremors has stood the test of time one of the rare movies you can watch over and over again the definition of a CLASSIC.
One of my favorite movies ever. I watch this probably at least a handful of times a year. The first 3 sequels have their flaws but are also great in their own rite. I actually own the first 4 movies so I can watch them whenever I feel in the mood.
One of the few films I have on my "in case of severe depression, press play"-list. It always manages to cheer me up and works wonders as a date movie as well. If your date doesn't like Tremors... well, that's a bad sign right there.
Absolute classic that my 8-year-old self had on VHS
One of my favorite movies of all time. Horror or otherwise ❤
Saw it at the drive-in with my dad, and watched every Tv showing for years. I love the first and second Tremors. The third one is a guilty pleasure.
One of the best monster movies ever made, it has everything. I was always hoping to see Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon return to the franchise one day and we got that a few years ago with the Tremors reboot in 2018 but sadly, for whatever reason, even though it's completed and ready to go, it was never released and seems to have been locked away in a vault somewhere. I hope they do release it on Tv or something at some point because with Fred Wards passing last year, we'll never get another chance to Val and Earl together again :(
Chemistry slash magic. Brilliant. Fred holds everything together.
Fred Ward has always been a fantastic actor. Glad he stuck around for the sequel
One of the movies that my Mom actually sat down and watched with us, way back when when we first rented it. Now I'm not saying it's a mom movie, but she was/is pretty discerning with her horror. And to me, that was almost the seal of approval or sign that we were watching something special or at least not your titty slasher of the week (which was my favorite genre atm btw).
I remember we rented this as a kid and watched it as a family. We loved it! And its one of those movies that I would watch on and off through out the years when it would play on cable. The last time I watched it was 2 years ago when I was pregnant with my son, and I said to my husband, we have to watch this again, with the baby when his a little older! 😁
One of my top 5 all time favourite films. It's one that even though I own a copy, if it comes on tv, I'm going to watch it.
Remember watching this as a kid, loved this movie. One of my favorites to watch as a kid.
Reba, what a star, quite the firearms handling skills, very hot.
Just LOVE Fred Ward!! ❤
Very well put. One of the movies I remember seeing with my mom when we rented it brand new. She died in 1991 when I was 5yo so I've always loved this movie
Just watched this again after a looooong time. I was surprised because I remembered it as a comedy for some reason. You reflected everything my wife and I said. It’s got that Godzilla charm, practical effects, smart writing in that it goes from mystery horror to action adventure/ escape. Great actors and a concise runtime.
It’s a waaaay better put together film than just remembered as a kid!
Easily one of my favourite films of all time.
One of my favorite movies! Saw it back in the early 90s; NBC would always show it as a Sunday Night Movie & I instantly fell in love. The TV edits of the profanity are hilarious & deserve a watch if you can find 'em online--specifically the NBC airings 😂
Tremors does that balance of comedy & horror much like the original Ghostbusters or Little Shop of Horrors ('86)--probably why I love it so much. When it's funny, it's hilarious. When it's scary, it's terrifying.--And I love that juxtaposition of "the ordinary vs the extraordinary." Definitely one of the last great monster movies of its kind. RIP Fred Ward, Victor Wong, Anthony Genaro, Michael Dan Wagner (Old Fred) & Sunshine Parker (Edgar)
Another great overlooked film in this same vein is Demon Knight with a tight script, incredible character actors and awesome lore.
I worked at a theater showing this, still remembering the display with the Graboid's mouth opening up. Those were the days.
R.I.P Fred Ward
I loved it as a kid, watched it many times. Cool monster, effects, setting, script, direction...
One of my faves since I was a kid. I still watch it several times a year.
When i was a little child, in my country, this movie was on tv every month. I watched like every time. I was always get transfix by this movie. I think the real magic of this movie is, even today, like many years ago, its that for some hour and a half, you are in that desert...
This movie has everything. Egg, Reba, Mr Keaton, Footloose, Remo Willams
Ohhh man, this brings back memories, I 1st saw this as a kid, I rented it on V.H.S.
The 1st is my favorite out of all of them
Love this movie,great setting, great characters, iconic monsters!
Greatest goofy monster movie ever. I saw it in the theater opening day.
Thanks for making this video, Lance and Joblo...I absolutely love this movie..and Fred Ward was an absolute Gem in this movie (yes and even in the sequel)...I remember watching this movie when I was around 9-10 when my brother rented it and we didn't know what to expect at all...we had a blast watching it and thought it was hilarious and the practical effects were masterfully done... I wish Fred and Kevin made a sequel together or at least another movie.. cause their chemistry was on point(Rest in Peace Fred 🙏🏽) these actors and types of movies were my childhood.. keep up the great work guys 👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽
As a kid I was terrified of graboids, yet still loved and watched the movie whenever I could. I'd take my two cats, Lucifer and Snuffy, and have them sleep on either side of me. If a grabboid tried to get me, it would get a cat first allowing me time to save the other one and climb through my window to safety lol. Still my #1 creature horror franchise to this day, only narrowly squeezing out Critters.
Definitely one of the most grounded movie monsters! So grounded, the damn things are under it!
Fantastic movie! An absolute classic here 👍
Tremors is one of my childhood favorite movies. My mom and I bought the video and would have mother daughter movie night. I agree with you. Movies like this aren't made anymore. I'm glad I got a chance to have it as one of my childhood movie experiences.
- Those things they are under the ground they are bigger than we thought!
....you broke into the wrong rec room...!
Love this movie!
This film is great, I watch at least once a year. Love the sequels as well
This was my favorite as a child my friend shows me this when I was 9 and we were scared to walk on the ground
Burt and Heather Gummer (Michael Gross and Reba McEntire) stole the entire show with that basement scene. I saw this with my dad and cousin in the movie theater and it was AWESOME!!
That sceme is one of the best ever tho. How the Tremor (Graboid) busts into their basement and the camera cuts back to Val and Earl. And you hear Bert over the radio yell, "Jesus Christ!" At that point the audience thinks they're both dead.
Then you hear the cracking of those rifle shots ring out across the valley. They're fighting back. And then the camera goes back to the basement, they're shooting their asses off, we then see that wall of guns!!
And we're introduced to that incredible 8 gauge Elephant Gun!
Best scene of the entire movie!
"BROKE INTO THE WRONG GODDAMN WRECKROOM DIDN'T YOU, YOU BASTARD!!"
-Burt Gummer.
6:53 I totally agree. The original TMNT costumes and Goro from Mortal Kombat are still amazing and they can actually interact with their environment
You echo my thoughts so much I'm about to burst into tears. We're in perfect agreement here, bar one detail. This is not a 9/10 movie. This is a 10/10 movie. There is no room for any improvement anywhere. Everything is pitch perfect. I wouldn't change, add or replace one detail. This may in fact be the greatest movie ever made. I've maintained this for 32 years, and that's the hill I'm prepared to die on.
Burt is my spirit animal, and this is one of my favorite movies. 🍿
One of those movies that I watch every single year, usually on a hot summer evening. It's indeed perfect!
Yes!
i have watched this movie more than 100 times and i still love it. best of the best.
Have owned this for years.
When my daughter was little she use to watch this everyday
Same here!
It's a special movie. Love it.
"Best monster flicks of the last 30 years" It's been 33 years my dude.
Perfection doesn’t always mean the best. For me, tremors is basically perfect. Great humour, great effects and great characters.
You know it’s not Oscar bait but apart from that one celebratory moment when that guy waved his cap in the oddest way possible…. I can not fault a moment. It’s why I have watched it so so many times. Why i practically know every line in the script.
It’s hugely entertaining and 100% memorable.
I just wish I was old enough to have seen it in the cinema.
It’s in my top 5 movies of all time list 🔥🍻
He's right, I saw this in the cinemas in Australia TWICE at the tender age of 23.
I can count the number of movies I saw twice at a cinema on 1 hand and they rightfully so include BACK TO THE FUTURE.
I have two much much younger sisters and it was a sheer delight introducing them to great pop culture movies they'd have probably not seen like this movie or DEMOLITION MAN.
Tremors is one of my favorite movies.
My favorite film ever. Its absolutely perfect.
I just watched a short documentary on the Bobbit Worm, soo yeah that's why I am here.
Edit: To be honest though I was obsessed with this movie as a kid of 10 in 1990. This for me in my rankings was right up there with Big Trouble in Little China, I don't know which of the two was my favorite then and I still can't tell to this day. I do know if Tremors is ever on I will never turn it off, and honestly Tremors 2 I also really enjoy.
Movie of my childhood ❤
great video Lance !
Tremors is a classic , grew up with it coming on TV friday nights etc
Tremors is a masterpiece
Strongly agreed
Burt is the best character and the only one to be in all the films. I'll still watch them all. I need to get them again.
Back when this movie came out, my friends and I used to play Tremors. It was always stay off the soft ground and base was the porch
Definitely the film ive watched the most, me and my brothers would throw this movie on all the time… Every time from blockbuster we’d rent it again and again. There was just something about this film.
Don’t make ‘em like they used to
This was and is me and my sister favorite movie we saw it as kids and still see from time to time in our 40s and it still looks great
Saw this movie when I was like 8 on telemundo and it’s been a banger ever since
I am just surprised that every good movies I found are like 8+ years old and I am glad you uploaded this after 11 damn years so I don't get haunted by 2+ years comments and replies
You hit some of the same marks of why I love this movie, and one detail I love about this movie and why it works is the fact that the characters in Perfection actually listen to the scientist. How many other movies feature characters listening to the smart one?
This is a awesome classic.
Watch it almost everytime.
I don't know why Kevin bacon doesn't like it
What?! He LOVES it! He's said he'd be up for a proper sequel.
@@DroosterH
Sorry. I thought the opposite
I LOVE this movie, always have, and will always defend it!
This movie is in my top 5 favorites of all time
This movie is awesome..way ahead of its time
This is a rare 10 for me. Perfection indeed.
Fantastic and original, I don't think there's anything similar that is remotely as great as this movie, not even the awful sequels, I think the biggest problem the sequels had was that they were constantly changing the monster when it was perfect to begin with.
Does anyone like not like this movie? You can hate monster flicks and still love it cause it's just plain entertaining.
The full cast is perfect! Think about Family Ties and then Bam Bert. Lol I only just today, organised a Tremors Night.
I don't think I've ever seen a movie more than I've seen tremors , hell I haven't even seen it for probably 15 years , but from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s It was constantly on either the living room tv or my bedroom tv , I think I still have a vhs tape recorded off of tv somewhere in a box
Seen it about 20 times with my brother when times were different memories
I have every one and T1 is probably the best film ive ever seen in my 45 years.
When you get a good thing you always want more, and this video breakdown is that good thing. Would love this video to be two or three times the length. Great stuff.
Don't fall for anyone stating, "They're gonna remake Jaws..." because it's been remade several times, just with different critters standing in for the shark. If one considers categorizing Tremors as one of those (essentially) remakes, albeit perhaps the best, as an insult to Tremors, then think of this movie instead as a spiritual successor to Jaws. Whichever the case, I love both movies.
100% agree. Would not change a thing about this flick.
100% to everything said in this video. Saw this at the cinema and loved it. It handled the horror and humor perfectly. And amen with regard to CGI and practical effects. Practical wins every time because CGI never looks photorealistic. I'll take practical over the best CGI every time.
