    I LOVED your reaction! It was so great to see you have so much fun. Tremors is my favorite horror series!
    Now, personally, I feel you should watch the rest. Each movie has great, loveable characters. And each movie fleshes out the creatures more. They'll never be more than campy monsters movies. but they're fun, feel good campy monster movies. My sister and I quote the first four movies all the time. Each movie has its own set of amazing laughs.

    Two and three are fun as well.

    "Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn't ya you bastard!"
    Part of the backlash this movie got (and currently gets), is that people judge the movie on the mislabeled "horror" genre. It's a "creature feature" movie, which is a subgenre of action/adventure.
    Fun Fact: S.S. Wilson said that he got the idea for the film while he was working for the U.S. Navy in the California desert. While resting on a rock, he imagined what it might be like if something underground kept him from getting off the rock.
    Land Jaws Fact: When Chang is partially swallowed by the Graboid, it swerves back and forth before drawing back under the ground. It's almost identical to the scene near the end of Jaws where Quint slides into the mouth of the giant shark and it swings back and forth with him in its mouth before sliding back into the water.
    Gun Enthusiast Fact: Burt and Heather used the following firearms to kill the Graboid that burst into their rec room: Stey-Mannlicher SSG-PII, Winchester model 70, Winchester Model 1200 Defender, HK91A2, Colt AR-15 Sporter II, Remington 870, Sig Sauer P226, Ruger Redhawk, M8 flare gun, and then finally Burt finishes it off with a Belgian William & Co. 8 gauge shotgun (The Elephant Gun).

    • @BigGator5
      @BigGator5 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That's just it. I saw a reaction to this movie and the two reactors gave the movie thumbs down, because it wasn't scary enough for a "horror" movie. I made the comment that it isn't a horror movie and I got ratio to death by people willing to die on "This Is A Horror Movie!" hill. There's no honor or glory defending the mislabeled genre.

    Loved your reaction and thoughts! please, PLEASE do Tremors 2! It's legit one of the most underrated/underappreciated/underreacted sequels of all time. It balances just as perfectly the humor and horror elements, and strikes the most perfect 'self awarenss' chord of not only this franchise, but arguably any franchise in the similar horror/Sci fi vein. Tremors 3 and 4 are up to you...they're varying degrees of 'meh', and 5 - 7 are (IMO) garbage. Regardless, you've earned a new subscriber

    One of my favorite cult classics, like ;Pumpkinhead,' 'The Car,' and 'Big Trouble in Little China. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon had amazing bro/old friends chemistry and they played off each other perfectly. Too bad Bacon didn't even come back for the first sequel.

      I knooow I was shocked at how much I loved this movie! And I’ve heard mixed things about the sequels, but I know that Kevin Bacon originally really tried to separate himself from this film. It wasn’t till a few years ago that he started publicly coming out and saying his distain for the movie was because of his own anxiety and depression and that it actually was the most fun he had filming anything.
      The behind-the-scenes on the Blu-ray from arrowhead are amazing!

    hey James i hope you get a chance to see the sequels of tremors i think they just did a 6th or 7th about four 5 years ago. i strongly suggest popcorn for part 3 and part 4 which has some fun humor but not enough to kill the horror. i did see parrt 5 or 6 and there is something really cute and funny that's discovered with the character Burt which i also feel was very good for him i wont say why because that would be explained in part 2 and i don't want to give that away. I did have another suggestion im not sure if i mentioned it already but. they made a horror version of phantom of the opera and the actor who plays freddy krugar played the phantom and his version is extremely creepy. (you're going to want to eat before watching ) i think it was either the very last year of the 80's or earliest years of the 90's.

    This movie an others from this time are better then some or most horror movies made today. Because as Robert Englund put it they let you get to meet the characters an know them. Before the sh1t hits the fan so you get a chance to known an like them or not. That way it keeps you on your toes because you have your favorites that you want to survive. The characters are actually treated like people in them not like modern day horror movies. Where they are mainly there to serve one purpose only that is to add to the body count.
    I mean Robert Englund would know because he's been in tons of horror movies. Since he became famous for playing Freddy Krueger hes been in mainstream an non mainstream movies. Basically if he liked the script or screenplay he was in for working on the movie even if it was a small role in a independent movie. That's why Robert Englund is a true horror movie icon.

    The movie keeps the monsters a mystery, but in each of the sequels they reveal a little bit more.
    For a while there was a Tremors TV show on the Syfy channel and they had a whole web page devoted to the hidden biology and history of the Graboids.
