EXTENDED DISCUSSION: / tremors-review Mike and Jay discuss the classic 1990 film Tremors starring Kevin Bacon and Burt...er...Fred Ward and directed by Ron Underwood.
I also loved how they're talking to Burt, the graboid comes in, the radio goes dead silent. There's that moment where everyone is just.. "oh man..he's dead" And then you hear his gun being fired all the way across town. Because that's how loud guns really are. And it was burtiful.
I also loved how that scene didn't break the "they have to keep coming up with different solutions" rule: "shoot it with guns" works exactly once, and later Burt's wife tells him that even their most powerful gun won't work when the graboids are underground, which is all the time.
It's possibly my favorite scene in all of history. I love the delay before the distant gunshots as well. This movie turned me into a firearm enthusiast that would almost put put Burt to shame
@@thestrangechannelofjeff7426 same here! 😁 I was in my early teens and had already been shooting competitively for a few years and had a decent collection for my age and stuff like that... But that scene was my all-time favorite and literally the reason I immediately redid my bedroom, got serious about acquiring professional reloading equipment, and stuff like that. And not just having it but having and organized in a way that I could take care of everything and give more attention to the maintenance /learning..... About eight years later I had already acquired a fuel AIDS and milling machines and was in school learning CNC. Although I never really stuck with any of that stuff other than just for fun here in there... Shooting in precision is what took me into my profession of metrology and machining. All thanks to burt's deluxe nerd cave.😁👍 I absolutely adore those movies and I googled them to see who was making fun of them these days only to find out that others love them and that they held up well. 😁😁👍👍
One of the first shots in the movie is Fred Ward in a sleeping bag (a worm-like shape) falling out of the truck bed. This is exactly what happens to one of the tremors at the end (falls off a cliff).
Because up until the early 90s (I guess) everything that wasn't an obvious title had to be translated to german in a way that you knew what you get into, almost setting the tone of what to expect. Just look up the titles for the "Vacation" movies or many other comedies in general. Also: tons of subtitles added to certain movie titles that are just a word/term (rather prominent during the movie) but too vague to know instantly what the movie will be about. And then just look at titles for german movies. Regarding that formula "Die Hard" would be "A Policeman fighting off terrorist on his own" even though the actual translation back to english for the german title would be "Die Slowly" even though that has nothing to do with the plot. "Dune" isn't just Dune, it's "Dune - The Desert Planet"; "Lethal Weapon" -> "Leathal Weapon - Two hard as steel professionals"; "Ghostbusters" -> "Ghostbusters - The Ghost Hunters"; "Gremlins" -> "Gremlins - Little Monsters" etc . . .
For once the survivalists aren't a joke, and neither is the female scientist. Even the blue-collar workers and the "monsters" have a capacity to learn. Refreshing.
I love that about this movie, nobody say the typical "oh you don't know what you are talking about.." BS. They listen to each other, discuss the options, and at times just have to make a snap decision. Hell the only time the two main characters don't listen to the scientist is when they are arguing between each other and she just goes ahead and does what she needs to do. Awesome cast of characters and writing.
Tremors might be my favorite "Humans against the Monsters" style monster movie. Mostly because... kind of the same reason why I love John Carpenter's "The Thing". No one is stupid in the movie. I mean yes, characters aren't exactly rocket surgeons. Nor do they ever act really like: "Well I read ahead in the script" sort of asspulls. But they kind of handle things logically, come up with plans that seem fitting for their characters. Respond properly. Even the monster starts learning through the movie and adapting to what the humans try against them, instead of just being some Unstoppable Force until a plot widget is deployed or just "Sheer Numbers overwhelms everything" sort of thing. Like that moment when they're out on the rocks, trying to bait the monsters with the dynamite and blow them up. Beautiful moment. But even more so when the monster kind of realizes what's going on, and spits out the dynamite at the humans. It's something monster movies in general just kind of miss. That sense of back and forth. The humans figure something out, so the monsters figure out a way around it. Then the humans have to come up with a new idea. All while people and monsters just kind of behave naturally. Learning by experiences and behaving according to their characters. And the plot doesn't require people to be rock stupid to move ahead, etc.
@@thoughtfuldevil6069 this was actually showcased in Star Trek Into Darkness, when Dr. McCoy helped defuse a missile. That's the first official "rocket surgeon" in cinema history, as far as I know.
This film has to be one of my favorite film experiences ever. I was having a bunch of friends stay the night to watch a movie and play video games in middle school, and I usually grab something from the Walmart bargain DVD bin for these occasions. I found this film at the bottom. My buddies and I popped this in without any idea of what it was, beyond the fact it had Kevin Bacon in it. We were absolutely delighted to find such a fantastic experience and get it so unexpectedly. That basement reveal literally had us all inhale in unison, then burst out in cheers moments later. I agree it is one of the best scenes ever, even without knowing the editing wizardry. I wish I could find more surprises like that waiting for me at the bottom of a discount bin. So glad you reviewed it, not many others besides those friends know about it in my experience. Hope to see more of this show in the future!
@@lazerhosen It's so funny to hear you two talk about this movie, I'd bet you both are I'm gonna say...ages 17-25. I first watched this movie at 5-7 years old. We had it on VHS tape, in fact I still have it somewhere. I'm 33 and most people around my age have seen this movie. It was a pretty big deal, and I don't know if it was ever in theaters. First movie I saw in theaters was Jurassic Park at age 4 because I loved Dinosaurs, and my grandfather at one point wondered if he should have taken me to see it because I was sort of terrified(but amazed). I remember during the T-Rex first appearance he asked me if I wanted to leave, and I said "No Pop, then we'll miss the movie". He would often remind me of this even up until a couple years ago. He died in 2020 and he was such an amazing man and I miss him so much. It's sometimes hard to make time for your family, but really try to because you will miss them so much when they are gone.
@@drownthepoor Condolences dude, I have only ever lost best friends and all my grandparents, but I have had several good friends who lost their fathers. I know it's gotta hurt still, and it will be some time before the mourning fades away. I turn 37 this year, not a big age difference. First movie I saw in theaters was The Little Mermaid, and then the TMNT film.
The Real Dagoth Ur Jar Jar is the key to all of this... if we get Jar Jar working... because he's a funnier character than we have had in any of the other movies before
Now that is a tall order, I actually sympathize with the damn critters now. Because having to systematically hunt down 7 billion human beings, because they are too noisy?... Man, those guys struggled just to kill a dozen of them! They're fucked!!
I'm currently in Malta, Montana, visiting my Grandmother, the very location where I first rented and experienced Tremors at the age of 8. There's nothing more terrifying than finishing that movie as a child, and then walking outside to the open plains of Montana, where there is no hard soil. There is no rock formations. There is no form surface to potentially stop a graboid encounter. Needless to say, the remainder of that visit oh so long ago stayed with me for life, and every time I return to Malta, I have a strong urge to rewatch the first film and join said ensemble to hunt massive underground turds with worm-tongues.
I have pretty much the same memory! Only on the Dutch countryside, flat nothing open country. I was scared for months when playing outside after watching this movie. Great memory (now)!
@@Dahdoi well in the dutch countryside you're only like 15 miles from some of the most densely populated cities in Europe. Montana is actually fuck all nowhere
This movie is also a fantastic display of how to write strong female characters without beating the audience to death with the messaging or at the expense of the male characters. Just about all the characters have strengths and weaknesses that play off each other extremely well.
To be honest with you... FUCKING FINALLY. This is the show I was waiting for. Tell me about good movies so I can go watch things and be happy. Thanks RLM!
Tremors is a gem. A solid, purpose built, genuinely quirky, funny "horror" movie with some very engaging characters and warm, feel good moments. I watched it with my family last night and initially wondered if I could really sit through it again after having seen it several times already. It hooks you in like a Graboid and won't let you go til the end.
there's at least more women in this movie than in the original ghostbusters. i think we can leave it alone. YOU HEAR THAT, HOLLYWOOD? LEAVE TREMORS ALONE.
Yeah, that's the thing, there's so many good ways you could do an all female cast Ghostbusters movie, and it just doesn't come close to ANY of it. The second movie may be kind of a cheap rehash of the first one, but at least it has all the original cast and crew, it's still a good watch, it's made by people who know how it's done. The new one isn't even worthy of licking the boots of Filmation Ghostbusters
My favorite part of the red letter media crew is their legitimate passion for movies. You guys are really at your best talking about films you truly appreciate.
Considering it has Burt Ward, Kevin Bacon, the main old guy from Big Trouble in Little China and MICHAEL "FREAKIN" GROSS from Family Ties.......I wouldn't necessarily call this a B Flick.
I watched Tremors expecting a schlocky 80's monster movie and was completely blown away. Before I even started this youtube video I was thinking to myself how this was a perfectly executed movie. Thanks for helping me rediscover this amazing movie!
Tremors is honestly my favorite movie of all time. It's just perfect, like they said. I first watched it when it released on video at 3 years old and didn't walk on dirt for 8 years.
Exactly, more content is not unwelcome to me. All these weirdos whining about one thing. I believe as long as there exists pizza rolls, we will see another Plinkett.
It great seeing Mike gush over a movie and explain it in detail. It's also great to see him destroy movies as Mr. Plinkitt. Mike is a great movie dude guy man
When I rented Tremors from my local grocery store and watched it alone I was literally standing and jumping during the whole second half, yelling "Run! You can make it! Get off the ground!!" No other thriller has topped it.
This made me love Tremors even more than I already do. Especially all the talk about the effort put into all the miniature work etc especially in the basement scene etc.
Upon recently watching tremors and tremors 2 there is a few second shot in the second movie that i really like. In the first movie those little snake things chewed up the rear right shock absorber on the truck. In the second movie when they are driving to Mexico you can see the rear right shock hanging from the truck, as if Earl never even fixed it after the graboid chewed it!!
This movie is so much fun and holds up so well, it's hard to focus on any one thing. However, I think the best aspect--what makes the story work so well--is the chemistry between Ward and Bacon. Their interactions feel so genuine and un-acted you fall in love with that friendship. The best bit of humor is when they're on the roof and work out this "genius" plan, slap hands together, and the camera quickly zooms out and they're basically like, "Oh......". Very understated and well shot. Horror comedy at its best.
Also, not ashamed to admit I like the sequels. In fact, only the most recent one--with Jamie Kennedy--disappointed me. Man, that was hard to sit through.
Thanks for doing this! I love Tremors and I've heard you mention what a great movie it is in other episodes so I'm really glad to see this. Please keep up the re:View episodes. Big fan!
Its been a while since Ive seen 3, but I think it was the one where the Graboids developed wings and rocket powered assholes...or maybe that was just a fever dream. I cant remember anymore...
I remember back in the day my dad mentioned how it was supposed to be called land sharks. I said "Really?" He said "What does the cover remind you of?" (I noticed the Jaws Reference right away) "Ooooh yep. I can see that." lol
I loved hearing Mike and Jay speak of this movie so highly, I watched it with my family as a kid and we all loved it. Even Dad, who doesn't usually like "silly" movies.
Aw man, very close to a cool million subscribers. You deserve all of them, by far my fav channel (even the old weird stuff...) and this is the only channel I revisit videos I've already watched regularly. Love y'all, wish ya the best.
Saw the review, watched the movie, enjoyed the movie, listened to the extended discussion. Several hours of entertainment. Great new show. Thank you guys!
this set looks super professional. I'm glad to see diverse content here. Both this and Half in the Bag are great viewing experiences and I'm looking forward to more of each (hopefully one per week for each series)
I always thought this movie was very underrated as a kid and growing up, how no one ever talked about it except myself and my friends. Glad you guys get to showcase movies you enjoy in this new series. Keep up thems good workssss.
The sequel is my personal favorite, but it was also my introduction to the series, so it probably biased me. I think it follows well the Terminator/Alien process well of: Great first one that is basically horror film, Good to great second one that is more quippy and action than horror, then sequels of middling to poor quality.
I've been following you guys for a few years and I like this new series. Tremors is a fun childhood favorite. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops.
The effects in this movie totally stand up today, and are very impressive what they do. The creature is gross, it has the correct amount of slime and goopy blood, and on top of this many practical effects. Hell just what they do with the grocery store when they are on it is awesome. A prime example of a movie of how to make the most of your effects and use them to tell the story not attempt to make up for it.
8:59 And another great detail about underground monsters (as mentioned in passing by Michael Gross' character) is that dirt is a fantastic bullet stop, so you can't just shoot them... Unless, of course, they break into the wrong goddam rec room.
@@samuelperezgarcia Exactly, the escalation that nothing short of an elephant gun was going to work was great wordless moviemaking. And that the Graboids adapted so he never got another shot.
I remember watching this with my dad one Saturday morning. He knew who Kevin Bacon was even though he wasn't raised in the US, but he did love western movies like the good, the bad, & the ugly.
This was the first "horror"-movie I watched. I was like 10 or so years old, my parents were away for the evening and I watched it secretly. I was so fucking scared. But after seeing it again as an adult, I couldn't stop laughing. But it is still a great movie and I enjoy it a lot.
I also loved how they're talking to Burt, the graboid comes in, the radio goes dead silent.
There's that moment where everyone is just.. "oh man..he's dead"
And then you hear his gun being fired all the way across town. Because that's how loud guns really are. And it was burtiful.

Favourite scene that. Especially when it pans out in the basement and there's a fucking wall full of guns 🤣🤣
It's possibly my favorite scene in all of history. I love the delay before the distant gunshots as well. This movie turned me into a firearm enthusiast that would almost put put Burt to shame

This is the best "The floor is made of lava!" movie ever.
Perfect analogy for this movie
This movie was on so often during the weekends that my brother and i started playing "Tremors", with the same rules as the floor is lava. Lol
Arguably this is where the concept was born, or at least popularized.
@@user-ew7nz3yw2i he was saying that the floor is lava was popularized because of this movie, not the other way around
@@user-ew7nz3yw2i Bruh you don't even know if he's a millennial
One of the first shots in the movie is Fred Ward in a sleeping bag (a worm-like shape) falling out of the truck bed. This is exactly what happens to one of the tremors at the end (falls off a cliff).
This movie is fucking perfect.
Props for the pickup. This is such a sweet and clever movie.
Yes! and the fact that Val jumps on the truck yelling "Stampede!" and then references that at the end.
"graboids"
I have watched Tremors 50 times and never associated Earl in the sleeping bag with a graboid. Neat detail. Thanks!
In German this movie is called "Im Land der Raketenwürmer" - "In the land of the rocket worms" and I have no clue why.
Lucas Maybe because of their speed. Graboids move at a relatively high speed for moving through dirt.
That title is fucking mint
I suspect it's because Germans are AWESOME.
In Norway it was called Marksommer (worm summer) Because.... we named Jaws Haisommer (shark summer).
Yeah..
Because up until the early 90s (I guess) everything that wasn't an obvious title had to be translated to german in a way that you knew what you get into, almost setting the tone of what to expect. Just look up the titles for the "Vacation" movies or many other comedies in general.

@@dr.decker3623 Slither is a gem
@@SomeBF There was that boy who deserved to die by simply existing. The actor for the boy did a good job I'll say that.
What wasn't mentioned was the chemistry between Val and Earl. They played off each other perfectly.
@@PeacefulJoint Even the side characters all played their roles perfectly. No one was the weak link.
Val and earl are probably the best horror/monster duo ever, if there are even anymore. Its seriously like a buddy cop monster film
@@Heller103085 Tucker and Dale in Tucker and Dale vs Evil are a perfect duo as well.
I also can't believe they didn't mention the legendary "fuuuuck you!" from Kevin Bacon
RIP Fred Ward. Will watch this re:view and Tremors tonight in your honor.
Just found out from you, it’s a damn shame that he wasn’t spoken of more when he died. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.
"Haunting by vibrations" had giggle a little.
Tremors might be my favorite "Humans against the Monsters" style monster movie. Mostly because... kind of the same reason why I love John Carpenter's "The Thing". No one is stupid in the movie. I mean yes, characters aren't exactly rocket surgeons. Nor do they ever act really like: "Well I read ahead in the script" sort of asspulls.

Tremors was one of those gems I came across on regular television having no idea what the movie was.
My theory is the Graboids all have migraines and they are just trying to get everyone to shut the hell up.

That wouldnt even be a problem if they managed to be funny or likeable.

Good god, could you imagine the Tumblr reaction to a movie about an all-female cast getting eaten by penis monsters?
You are too much of a misogynist to realize that this could be easily fixed by turning the penis monsters into vagina monsters.

A new series? It's gonna be great, it's gonna be great...
It's gonna be great
+Engineer 47 Great!
Every issue will have so much going on...
It's stylistically designed to be that way and you can't undo that.
Jay is the key to all of this. He's a funnier character than we've ever had before.
It great seeing Mike gush over a movie and explain it in detail. It's also great to see him destroy movies as Mr. Plinkitt. Mike is a great movie dude guy man
When I rented Tremors from my local grocery store and watched it alone I was literally standing and jumping during the whole second half, yelling "Run! You can make it! Get off the ground!!" No other thriller has topped it.
Tremors 2 is a really fun movie IMO. So many great Burt lines!
"I am - completely - OUT of ammo!
"...that's never happened to me before."
"I feel I was Denied - Critical - Need To Know - Information".
@@chriselyea2545 That always gets me
literally only good thing about that movie, everything else was so boring
This made me love Tremors even more than I already do. Especially all the talk about the effort put into all the miniature work etc especially in the basement scene etc.
The Reba's basement scene is one of my favorite scenes of all time in a comedy.
RIP Fred. 😥
I can't believe they are replacing Half in the Bag! This is bullshit. I've had enough of this free content from Red Letter Media!
big fan of this concept. I love that Mike looks so happy talking about movies he likes!
I'm 27 and watched this for the first time a couple months ago. It absolutely still holds up.
I love when they slam the new ghostbusters. Its deserves it for sure
i guess I won't kill myself now, ill do it later
+Wethewax Sort of like as soon as it's over, die. hmmm, know of anything that lasts exactly 18mins?
+Tommy Wiseau Yes Mister Wiseau
Al Windsor That's me!
There's always Chunky's Chicken...
+Tommy Wiseau Oh-HI, Tommy! My mother has breast cancer but what can you do? Also, I'm cheating on you and that's not how answering machines work.
Just rewatched Tremors for the first time in ages. It is a good film. Shows you what a solid script can do.
Upon recently watching tremors and tremors 2 there is a few second shot in the second movie that i really like. In the first movie those little snake things chewed up the rear right shock absorber on the truck. In the second movie when they are driving to Mexico you can see the rear right shock hanging from the truck, as if Earl never even fixed it after the graboid chewed it!!
RIP Fred.
Who is the guy on the left? I didn't catch his name.
I think it was Mick, or something.
Either Nike or bike, wasn't paying attention
I believe he said his name was Jay...
I thought he said Kevin....
Mike Hunt
This movie is so much fun and holds up so well, it's hard to focus on any one thing. However, I think the best aspect--what makes the story work so well--is the chemistry between Ward and Bacon. Their interactions feel so genuine and un-acted you fall in love with that friendship. The best bit of humor is when they're on the roof and work out this "genius" plan, slap hands together, and the camera quickly zooms out and they're basically like, "Oh......". Very understated and well shot. Horror comedy at its best.
Also, not ashamed to admit I like the sequels. In fact, only the most recent one--with Jamie Kennedy--disappointed me. Man, that was hard to sit through.
I first saw this movie one night on TNN. I was about 12 or 13 watching Joe Bob Briggs monster movie night. I loved it!
Why do you guys look so sweaty here
Because they're on coke.
Hair light.
JENNY!!!! They aren’t sweaty they’re shiny 😌 but HEY!!
Moist bois
Honestly didn’t get that impression here
Victor Wong is just about my favorite character actor of all time. I have yet to not be entertained by his work,
I literally just saw the movie (loved it) and then thought, "Didn't Mike and Jay talk about this?" and then found this!
I always really loved Tremors, it has a special place in my heart.
I'm glad you're finally replacing Half in the Bag and Best of the Worst!
Damn, I knew I should have gone to film school and developed a dark, irreverent sense of humor.
I'm about to start at the college Mike went to and I hope to one day be as grumpy and miserable as him
Thanks for doing this! I love Tremors and I've heard you mention what a great movie it is in other episodes so I'm really glad to see this. Please keep up the re:View episodes. Big fan!
Wow. You guys have been doing Re;View for 5 years. Amazing how old you guys are getting.
My favourite part that I still watch over and over, is at the end when the graboid accordions into the ground. Wonderful! 😀😀
Perfect way to end them, in a big old splash of guts.
I _really_ like the concept of this show. I love hearing you examine the various aspects of the film in detail. More of this, please!
I could always do with a pizza roll. Just not the talking kind.
...so according to the RLM Soundcloud review, Kevin Smith has blocked RLM on Twitter...that's fucking hilarious...
I think Tremors 4 is a western with cowboys, right?
That one is fucking awful. I don't know how he likes 4, but not 2.
64 Fanatic
I saw them so many years ago, but I remember not liking Tremors 3, but i can't remember why. It had like, chicken monsters or something?
Its been a while since Ive seen 3, but I think it was the one where the Graboids developed wings and rocket powered assholes...or maybe that was just a fever dream. I cant remember anymore...
4 was pretty boring, but I liked 2 and 3.
4 was kind of boring, and I dislike prequels generally.
I remember back in the day my dad mentioned how it was supposed to be called land sharks.
I said "Really?"
He said "What does the cover remind you of?"
(I noticed the Jaws Reference right away) "Ooooh yep. I can see that." lol
I loved hearing Mike and Jay speak of this movie so highly, I watched it with my family as a kid and we all loved it. Even Dad, who doesn't usually like "silly" movies.
Are you calling them Tremors instead of Graboids just to piss me off???? You've succeeded GRRRRRRRr
Yup
@@stephenpaccone8120 It's the feeling you feel under the ground before the Tremors get ya.
What about ligma?
@@SeanMacadelic Ligma balls. Gotcha
Wow, I can't believe this is replacing Mr. Plinkett...
Aw man, very close to a cool million subscribers. You deserve all of them, by far my fav channel (even the old weird stuff...) and this is the only channel I revisit videos I've already watched regularly. Love y'all, wish ya the best.
Saw the review, watched the movie, enjoyed the movie, listened to the extended discussion. Several hours of entertainment. Great new show. Thank you guys!
Is this here to replace Mr. Plinkett????
Seems unlikely.
Is this here to Worst Plinkett Mr. Bag in the Best replace of the Half?
Guys if you want to hear Mr.plinket just watch The Force Awakens Honest Trailer He's in it for 8 seconds!!
OOOOHHHH NOOOOO
I hope so! Mr. Plinkett’s voice was a little too annoying.
Fred Ward is awesome. I mean, Richard Jenkins awesomeness level
Gummer's basement shoot-out with the graboid is one of the most amazing scenes in cinema history and I'm not a gun fan either.
But guns are so Fun.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. Makes me realize I haven't seen it since I was a teenager.
Also, good job guys.
A movie of that genre that still holds up: John Carpenter's The Thing.
this set looks super professional.
I'm glad to see diverse content here. Both this and Half in the Bag are great viewing experiences and I'm looking forward to more of each (hopefully one per week for each series)
"We need a plan." "But we all can't fit on the bulldozer.". Awesome lines.
I always thought this movie was very underrated as a kid and growing up, how no one ever talked about it except myself and my friends. Glad you guys get to showcase movies you enjoy in this new series. Keep up thems good workssss.
My two favorite cis white males
I like how you didn't include "straight"... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
.
+Voeris They are totally a couple.
+Voeris That's what cis means...
cis means someone who is comfortable with the gender they were born with.
The sequel is a totally competent followup, not quite as good but that goes without saying.
The sequel is my personal favorite, but it was also my introduction to the series, so it probably biased me. I think it follows well the Terminator/Alien process well of: Great first one that is basically horror film, Good to great second one that is more quippy and action than horror, then sequels of middling to poor quality.
The first episode, and they're already gushing over one of my favorites. This will be a great segment.
I didn't even notice they used miniatures until now, great practical effects
this movie traumatized me as a child for a while. was afraid to actually walk outside for a while, especially on soft ground :P
You guys must be successful if Mike can afford HUMANITY'S GAYEST HOODIE.
Offset by world's ugliest trainers brings him back to asexual.
DAMMIT i did not notice at first, but now #IcantUnseeIt
These are horrible comments by terrible people. But I still can't stop laughing. #sorryquestionmark #fashionshaming
What about Max Landis's hoodie from that BotW episode?
@@NormalLee67 that was a lvl 100 legendary gay hoodie
Cool breakdown, really makes me appreciate these movies, thanks for the video!
I've been following you guys for a few years and I like this new series. Tremors is a fun childhood favorite. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops.
The effects in this movie totally stand up today, and are very impressive what they do. The creature is gross, it has the correct amount of slime and goopy blood, and on top of this many practical effects. Hell just what they do with the grocery store when they are on it is awesome. A prime example of a movie of how to make the most of your effects and use them to tell the story not attempt to make up for it.
Tremors is awesome. One of my absolute favorites along with The Thing and Ghostbusters and Terminator.
Loved the extended discussion bit! I hope there's more audio content on the way!
8:59 And another great detail about underground monsters (as mentioned in passing by Michael Gross' character) is that dirt is a fantastic bullet stop, so you can't just shoot them... Unless, of course, they break into the wrong goddam rec room.
And even then they had to use countless weapons of varying firepower to kill one creature.
@@samuelperezgarcia Exactly, the escalation that nothing short of an elephant gun was going to work was great wordless moviemaking. And that the Graboids adapted so he never got another shot.
Wait, so is this going to replace the series known as Half in the Bag and or Best of the Worst?
:^)
Just watched this recently and had precisely the same thoughts. It's perfection. Tried to explain this to my wife but she wasn't having it.
I remember watching this with my dad one Saturday morning. He knew who Kevin Bacon was even though he wasn't raised in the US, but he did love western movies like the good, the bad, & the ugly.
Glad to hear more people appreciating this movie. I saw it when I was younger and loved it
This was the first "horror"-movie I watched. I was like 10 or so years old, my parents were away for the evening and I watched it secretly. I was so fucking scared. But after seeing it again as an adult, I couldn't stop laughing. But it is still a great movie and I enjoy it a lot.
Tremors 2 is one of the finest movies ever! I will not have it spoken badly about.
Amen!
Tremors is one of my all-time faves, thank you for the re-view
I just watched this movie in 2022 thanks to you guys.sooo refreshing...
