    Fun fact: The original idea was for the doctor's wife to ride on top of the sinking station wagon down into the ground like the Titanic, but the budget wouldn't allow for it. Honestly I think the visual of the headlights pointing straight up and then disappearing from a distance is much more impactful.

      I was just bummed neither Reba nor Bacon came back for any of the sequels, and Fred dropped out after the 2nd one. Sure putting the whole franchise on Burt Gummer worked out fairly well (there were so many sequels that Michael Gross probably made a nice tidy nest egg for his retirement) but with just him the franchise wouldn’t really climb much in popularity.

    I’m so happy you got to watch this Kat! I loved this movie growing up and I knew you would love it too. Tremors is a perfect mix of comedy and horror with a lot of heart. The buddy chemistry between Val (Kevin Bacon) and Earl (Fred Ward) is amazing. It’s a huge part of what makes this movie so memorable in that they are both such likable characters. The same is true for Rhonda (Finn Carter), Heather (Reba McIntyre), and Walter (Victor Wong). I also loved that my man Miguel got to survive.
    Oh and yes, the little girl who played Mindy (Ariana Richards) is the same actress who played Lex in Jurassic Park. Ironically Kevin Bacon at the time thought that this wasn’t a good movie. He changed his opinion though as Tremors has grown such a beloved following over the years. This is basically a B-Movie with a larger budget, but it’s such a fun creature feature, and Tremors embraces it.
    I also have to comment on Burt Gummer. The character is played by Michael Gross, who literally just came off filming the last season of Family Ties where he portrayed a wholesome Dad in the series. It was a huge character change going from a lovable family man to a paranoid gun-totting survivalist, but still making him so fun and lovable. It’s no surprise that Burt Gummer has become such a legend over the years as Gross returned to portray him in every subsequent sequel, including a short lived Tremors TV series back in 2003. He’s basically been the glue that has kept the series going for so long.
    If you loved Tremors, then you definitely have to watch the sequel Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996) in which Ward and Gross return as Earl and Burt. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001) is also pretty good, so I’d recommend that too!
    Take care Kat, and thank you again! ✌🏼

      I liked all the movies, even though I fully acknowledge that the last few were pretty bad. The first three were the best, and the wild west one was decent enough. The second one was actually a pretty solid sequel.

    Tremors is one of the few perfect creature features - every single thing is set up in the first half and pays off in the second, and the characters have great arcs. It's just... perfection.

    What a great old gem of a throwback to the '50s isolation monster movies. A perfect cast and a director that knew where the movie was going and stuck to it. Campy and fun. There are many sequals, but only 2 and 3 are worthwhile. Hope you enjoy the whole Tremors universe. Thanks for the reaction.

    What I loved about this film is the characters. They all acted like real people who were facing an unknown and unforeseeable situation. There were no supersoldiers or people with special abilities, just ordinary people who worked together and saved themselves.

  • @judsongaiden9878
    @judsongaiden9878 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    It never occurred to me before, but this cast of characters totally reminds me of Rescue Rangers. Earl = Chip. Val = Dale. Rhonda = Gadget. Burt = Monterey Jack (kind of a stretch, but they're both adventurers). Who'd be Zipper, though?
    12:50 That's a safari caliber.
    27:58 That's a reloading device for making new cartridges. A cheap and practical alternative to constantly buying new ammo. Well, the equipment isn't cheap, but it's a practical investment. A long-term versus short-term sort of thing. Burt and Heather play the long game. They're the opposite of Val and Earl who think on their feet. Burt and Heather are strategists. Val and Earl are tacticians. What this story illustrates is that both are necessary for building an effective team.
    28:12 (pogo stick)
    29:09 Just like skags from Borderlands! Go for those critical hits!
    29:34 Notice how Heather doesn't hesitate for even a moment, plus she knows exactly the right tool for the task. Having a full toolbox doesn't do much good if you don't know what's the right tool for the task. Btw, Burt strikes me as a Mordecai main. He also makes and uses explosives, which is a Brick-like trait, but his main preference is for high-powered rifles.
    30:21 An 8-gauge double-hammer under-lever safari rifle! Rare and expensive. They ended up breaking the stock during a stunt [ 38:47 ].
    33:23 IRL, if you chicken-wing'd an 8-gauge like that, it would injure you. You really have to know what yer doing to handle one of those.
    37:55 5.56 won't even phase them. .458 might do something.
    38:22 You'd think one of them would have thought to grab some rations to put in that supply bag before they got up on the roof.
    41:15 In some parts of the country (like Nevada or my native Indiana), it's not unusual for people to own cannons, typically for celebratory purposes and/or historical reenactments.
    44:59 "Can you fly, Bobby?" ~Clarence Boddicker
    45:49 In one or more of the later ones, we find out that they were in both People and National Geographic.
    46:08 Not only is Burt a good strategist, but he also acts as the team's quartermaster.
    48:10 'Freaked', 'Bad Channels', or 'The Ice Pirates'. They're all zany and weird.

    If you want some horror comedies, Love at First Bite, Young Frankenstein, Dracula Dead and Loving It, Haunted Honeymoon, Eight Legged Freaks, Clue, and Scary Movie are all great. But you should wait to watch Scary Movie until you've seen both Scream, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It parodies both of them heavily.

    Some little trivia about the film:
    "What are they doing?"
    Reba was cleaning off the brass to reload it. Burt and Heather are handloaders, part of handloading is saving and cleaning your brass which is what that machine does. It helps prevent it from corroding.
    "Is that a shotgun?"
    Technically yes, but it also falls into a category of safari guns called Stopping Rifles. It's mean to fell a charging rhino or something running directly at you. That particular gun they used was also used in Ready Or Not (2019). It's the same prop.
    In the sequel to this, they use actual plastique explosive to blow up a building for authenticity. Would recommend that as well as the 3rd one, you can skip the rest in the series. (Also 2 has a very important lesson: If you ever see a bomb expert running, *follow them*.)

    As a new subscriber, and having watched several of your video's; I would argue based on what I've seen that you no longer hate horror movies, you love them! No one smiles as much as you do watching a horror film or gory scene unless they're genuinely receiving enjoyment out of the entertainment factor. Your TH-cam channel name works, I'm not recommending you change anything, but you know that I know that you know that's no longer true, and that puts a smile on my face. 😁👍 Keep on doing what you're doing, and welcome to my world.

    Hey Kat, I'm so glad you got to see Tremors, when you get the chance to check out part 2. there's this cute " It's a small world" scene that happens with the main character that is absolutely cute, unexpected and makes me happy for them, I wont say what it is to not spoil it. it's just as good as the first one with more surprises from the creatures. i believe there are a total of 6 or 7 tremor films. I also want to recommend the film 1988 Night of the demons as well as the 1990 film The people under the stairs

      Seven films plus a 13-episode TV series in 2003. Also, Gross has discussed a possible eighth film, but he feels that "Universal Home Entertainment might've had enough of Tremors" so it might not happen. Of course, he's now 76 and while he's in pretty good shape, there's a limit to how long he'll be able to do action scenes.

    @johnnehrich9601 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I'm not much for horror movies but I really like this one - they throw in some comedy to release the tension only to build it up again. And like many films before CGI, special effects were hard, and expensive, so they doled out bits and pieces, creating suspense rather than blood and guts squirting everywhere until the end.
    Enjoyed your reaction. Thanks for sharing.

    Years ago, I remember watching this movie at the sand dunes with our dates. We had a generator going in the distance so we could watch this movie in the dark.
    As we watched, our generator did go out. Just like that scene in the movie!!! But in the movie, it was because of the Tremors monsters! For us, it was a brief technical difficulty.
    But it had its rewards. Our dates clung onto us for real fear of Tremors! Those were the good 'ol college days. 👍 -OG

    That elephant gun is a William Moore & Co. 8 guage shotgun, shooting lead wad cutter slugs. In reality, their rifles chambered in .375 Holland & Holland magnum, and .458 Winchester magnum, are elephant/rhino capable calibers, and should have penetrated quite well. But that wouldn’t have been as fun as seeing some assault rifles, shotguns, and magnum pistol action, and of course the 8 gauge. I like Burt’s thinking in Tremors 2, an LAR Grizzly Big Bore .50 BMG shooting 750 grain bronze jacketed tungsten and steel armor piercing projectiles, and a crap load of C4 and TNT. The Westley Richards 480 double rifles that Burt brings to Earl are chambered in .375 H&H and .458 Win mag. These movies are favorites for gun people. Burt and Heather blasting away in the rec room is my favorite gunfight with a monster scene ever. Love your reactions!❤

It's absolutely worth checking out the sequel, which comes pretty close to being as good as the original. Three and four are good but flawed, and everything after that is unwatchable. But Tremors II ought to be mandatory.

    I love it when people appreciate the filmmaking of this movie. This is one of my favorite films, I love that nearly all of the characters are so realistic and human. Reacting intelligently, reacting out of fear and panic, and the only reaction where you're telling a character to not be stupid is a stupid character (Melvin).

  • @6022

    Something I love about Tremors is that it includes this sequence of events that leads to the female character having to take her pants off, and then in the next scene she finds some more trousers and gets dressed again. So many horror movies have the women losing clothing and then just going "Well, guess I'm just bare for the rest of the movie!" (like Kristen Stewart in 'Underwater')

  • @RaderizDorret
    @RaderizDorret 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The thing I like about this movie is that the characters don't do anything blatantly stupid. Any mistakes are due to ignorance or panic and everyone comes up with ideas on the fly based on what they have available. Almost no drama as they're friends with each other and are mostly functional and normal people. Even the Gummer couple (the survivalists) are mocked good-naturedly but when it comes down to crunch time, Earl says "well, we don't get to make fun of Burt's lifestyle any more.".
    This movie was a love letter to the 1950s creature features but is so well done that it should be an example of tight movie making with a solid plot, characters the audience will love, and great pacing on the gradual reveal of the monsters.

    "POSSIBLE SPOLERS" The squash thing is so funny because on the dvd bonus features they tell you that the guts was pumpkin pie filling stuffed in a stocking and left in the sun for a while. Also I have a theory the white/clear sac looking things inside the one they blew up were shrieker egg sacks that despite the graboid being blew up still matured and then the so called ass blasters "see tremors 3" flew the eggs to to other places.
