10 Things You Didn't Know About Tremors (reupload)

[@elliesaint1984]

One thing I love about this movie is that it doesn't take itself too seriously, there is some silliness and a sense of humor to it

[@greggobbi859]

I agree

[@powerbadpowerbad]

AGREED.

[@heetsees]

It's literally taken seriously from the beginning to end. The reason why this script, acting and directing are top notch is because it represents a reality based attempt at an unlikely sci-fi event. It's called lightning in a bottle.

[@starbugmechanic5236]

“Hey Rhonda, what do you think it’s trying to do now?!” “Why do you keep asking me?!”

[@Rekuzan]

The one B movie you can watch many MANY times and it NEVER gets old!

[@ChrisSmith-5655]

I've never thought that this was a B movie. Always seemed like a legit blockbuster horror movie

[@gavst79]

Starship troopers?

[@Driessens_Peter]

Mad Max

[@dodoubleg2356]

I'm actually still waiting for that sad day when it gets old, BUT IT AIN'T HAPPENED YET, HA.

[@travismiller4320]

Kevin Bacon quote about Tremors “I was broke, I had a kid on the way, and my mom had gotten sick, and I felt like I didn’t have a choice. I was like ‘Jesus, this is a movie about underground monsters, how far I’ve fallen.” “It was one film of mine that I wanted to revisit that character. I don’t look back at all,” Bacon told the magazine of (mostly) looking forward concerning his illustrious career. Just as interesting, if not more so, Bacon noted that Tremors is the only film of his he has ever rewatched since its premiere. B movie that became an A movie

[@gutz4garterz735]

The original tremors is an absolute classic

[@ShadwTrooper]

I love this franchise. It blew my teenage mind, watching Mr Keaton unload many rounds on a sci-fi monster. I still binge the whole series every once in a while - cheese and all. I love it! Thanks for the vid, Minty!

Same. Love all of it. I was sad when Gummer died? I mean he's been eaten before so IDK. Cant wait to see the next movie though.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I can't believe you didn't mention the famous singer turned actress Reba McEntire. This was her first acting role.

[@auldthymer]

I was unhappy about that. She was fun-ny in this movie.

[@andysnyder4506]

I thought Reba was great in this movie. that's a great omission if you ask me

[@demonqueen881]

Tremors is the only monster movie my mother will watch in any capacity, solely because Reba is a supporting character. And I've always thought she did a damn good job for being her first role.

[@aliciasimmons8473]

Wait was it really

[@rjwh67220]

Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon had such absolutely wonderful chemistry, they could have carried any stupid old premise. EDIT: if you like Fred Ward, and who doesn’t, may I recommend the movie “Uforia” (get it? Euphoria with UFOs). It’s here on KZbin. It also has Cindy Williams and Harry Dean Stanton. Two actual thumbs up from Siskel and Eibert.

[@thisoddguy9156]

The first movie has the energy and soul of the 80's, and that's good enough for me!

[@MarkRobinson-CaveMan]

Bert Gummer is one of the defining roles in the movie his character is hilarious and awesome

[@kyoswkyosw1216]

He was one that everybody cheered for, my dad watched a little of the movie before deeming it not too bad for me (even though the first movies I remembered were Pitch Black and Predator anyway) so when Burt comes over the radio with "JESUS CHRI-" we both went "NO! OF ALL THE PEOPLE TO SURVIVE IT SHOULD BE THEM LOOK AT THE WALL!" and cheered when the gunshots rang out

[@arturdemin2755]

This movie will never get old I love it back in the day and I love it now like the blues Brothers

[@kathylesley9581]

One of my favorite actress played in this movie. Her name is Charlotte Stewart, and she played Miss Beadle on Little House on the Prairie.

[@georgemario6115]

A great beloved 90s sci fi movie with tone of laughs and horrors, phenomenal cast chemistry and wonderful practical effects, which also has one of the greatest and more clever final battles (man vs beast) i have ever seen in a movie!!!!! It's an honor of seeing this in a theater back in the day!

[@salukidc]

I'm guessing Reba McIntyre wasn't big in Aussieland since she wasn't even mentioned

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

Tremors is the greatest creature feature of all time! It's literally ground-breaking cinema!

[@kyoswkyosw1216]

Tremors, Alien, Pitch Black, and Predator. All genre changers and all because for over half the movie you have NO IDEA what it is and that's what made it horrifying

[@donovandelaney3171]

I have the Tremors TV show on DVD and I love it. We need another Tremors series!

[@Docktavion]

Never knew about the last two movies. Missed out on the 1st tv series and didn’t know again about the new tv show. Got to pick these up.

[@tiffanyspencer1082]

The fact Michael Gross went directly from the hippie dad in Family Ties right into gun nut Burt Gummer will never not crack me TF up😅❤❤ "Burt, you put a whole new spin on the word overkill" "When you need it and don't have it, you sing a different tune!"

[@jackmackakaheavyguyhaiku545]

I frickin' love Tremors. I've owned the first 4 movies in a multipack and I still have the original series. And when it was released in theaters, I saw it 11 times. So a small chunk of those box office receipts came out of my pocket. And yes Michael Gross has become the glue of the franchise. He's been the engine that drives that train for decades now.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

*"TREMORS 2: Aftershocks"* was meant to be a theatrical film as well as originally set in Australia, but due to Kevin Bacon being busy with *"Apollo 13"* and Reba McEntire being busy in her music career, Universal gave the first sequel a much lower budget and release it direct-to-video; even after the filmmakers tried to convince the studio to release it theatrically after a positive test screening.

[@craigeagon5109]

Tremors 2 is great! Not better than the first but they certainly made lemonade from the lemons they were handed!

[@Sr.DudeGuy]

To tell ya the truth... critters was what gave me interesting nightmares... I enjoy being woke up by a nightmare and critters always provided some fun nightmares!

[@domomitsune5920]

I really like this franchise of rated movies. I honestly like the original tremors. I've even played the video game based off the arcade game, called graboids. Other than the ice movie, The Shrieker Island, in Bloodlines, all the other ones were pretty good. It's a cult classic, for a reason. And honestly I like the TV series I don't know why it didn't get a second season.

[@kyoswkyosw1216]

Most of my dreams are still plagued by graboids, but due to knowing how they work it's more like working around any other wild animal. It moves through town? Stop walking. You fall on the ground? Play dead, they think they just knocked barrel or something over. They are more like an obstacle in those dreams than an actual danger due to knowledge

[@kaostheory2940]

I've always liked these movies I've seen all of them a couple of times over the years they never took it too seriously very easy watch just something good to take your mind off your day

[@Morganstein-Railroad]

The Tremors' Graboids were probably inspirwed by the Sand Worms In the Frank Herbert Book series "Dune" and it's sequels, albeit on a much smaller scale.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

Fun Fact: While working on *"TREMORS 2",* Brent Maddock & S.S. Wilson pitched plans for a potential TV Series in 1993 that was sadly never made. It was called *"TREMORS: Lost Monsters"* and it would've starred Val, Earl & Burt as they encounter on & off throughout the series: an albino graboid (which became the inspiration for fan-favorite El Blanco in *"TREMORS 3"* & the 2003 TV series), but they would also encounter strange, new monsters including a tree-dwelling octopus, a mountain-man vampire, an intelligent bigfoot disguising itself as a ghost, a giant killer shrimp (also seen in the 2003 TV Series), a flying monstrosity, and military toaster-shaped robots that wandered off from Area-51 (yep, that was to be a thing!)

[@selenayates2256]

Never saw or heard the last two Tremor movies. Never knew there was a t.v. Show either. If I did I probably would have watched it.

[@captaindew3106]

Also you may forgot that back in 2002 or 03 there was going to be a Tremors video game featuring Burt Gummer for console like the PS2 and Gamecube but it was cancel.

[@lawrencewalston2272]

The shriekers made their first appearance in the first sequel, "Tremors 2." The shriekers were also the second stage in the graboid life cycle followed by the ass-blasters which could fly. That said, I've really been enjoying your content. Keep 'em coming.

[@defur45]

I just watched this on Tubi the other day. I grew up on this move and have probably seen it like 20 times, no exaggeration.

[@collegeman1988]

I remember seeing Tremors in the theater when it came out in early 1990, and I enjoyed watching it. As I was watching the beginning of this video, I had correctly guessed that there must’ve been at least a half dozen direct to video sequels, which I didn’t know about and hadn’t seen, and I was correct. In some ways the first film has a similar vibe as Starship Troopers, which also has a number of direct to video sequels. I can see why Michael Gross would want to dive right in and play a gun toting survivalist in a movie right after Family Ties was over so that he could play against type and remove any risk of being typecast in a role he’d played on TV for 7 years. Also, his character got a survivalist’s wish of defeating an intruder that comes crashing through the cinder block walls of his basement and he’s beyond loaded for bear, and ready to overkill it with plenty of ammunition.

[@michaelpitcher2820]

Tremors has been a "watch it 3 times. Year" kind of movie for me since I wad a kid lol. Love it

I have all the tremors movies and have lost count on how many times I have watched them, love them. The tv series should have been given a longer run so people could get to know it better, if that had been done then the series may have become a cult classic as well. Thanks for the video, Cheers.

[@crowgrl13]

One of the other things that killed the original Tremors TV show was that, for some reason, SyFy aired the episodes out of order. The show ended up making no sense. I think they wanted it to fail.

Location, location, location. Tremors was filmed in the Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, CA along with over 300 other films all the way back to some of the earliest movies. For example, it stood in for the Himalayas in the move Gunga Din with Mt Whitney towering over 10,000 feet above the desert floor. Tremors 2 was filmed in the Antelope valley (Earl's ranch) and Newhall (some of the oldest oil wells and refinery in CA).

I have always been a hardcore Tremors fan. I watched the TV show when it aired and hated it's cancellation. Like many fans, I feel the franchise took a big downturn after the TV show and the 4th film. The 5th was just okay, six and seven are bad, I mean they are just difficult to watch. I would love to see Kevin come back, but only if it still exists in the same universe as the rest of the movies and show. I don't think many fans would want a full reboot like they talked about doing.
