I like the fact that this is a series where characters learn to stay out of danger. Val got hitched and refused to do a dumbshit thing like fighting Graboid's again and Earl only did it because he didn't have much to lose. Character's have one movie then refuse to do this stuff again. All except Burt, who lives for danger. He's a modern day dragon slayer, and Graboid's are his dragon.

[@toodlescae]

Tremors 3 takes you back to Perfection where it all started. It's not as good as the first 2 but it's a fun watch. Be prepared for more new surprises. Also a couple of original characters show up but Burt becomes the main character from here on out. 4 is a prequel that takes you back in time to when Perfection was established. The rest are ok but nothing great but still fun to watch.

For example during Tremors 2 here, the "fishing / trolling" for graboids reminded me of my job-hunting / applying process. During the scene when they had just gotten stuck on the rock with their truck and they saw a LOT of graboids coming at them all at once, that reminded me of one time when I had an equal number of interviews coming at me from all angles LOL :P

I forgot how good this sequel was. Bringing back the two best characters from the first film, Burt & Earl, was a great decision. Loved it.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

The early scene where they talk about not being able to recruit Val makes me wonder if that was an in-joke about not being able to get Kevin Beacon back, or if they always intended to not have him return. Similar with Burt being divorced, was that just a writing decision, or was it just because they couldn't get an actress back?

[@WJS774]

[@brandonhendrix7223]

Not sure why Reba wasn't in it (was she doing her sitcom at the time?) But Bacon, I think the problem was (as I stated in my own post) they waited too long. If they had made this in 1991 or 1992 they'd probably have a better chance of landing Bacon but by this point he was already becoming a more "respected" actor (and he deserved to be) and his schedule and price range were beyond doing a Tremors sequel.

Tremors 2 was one of those movies that was CONSTANTLY on cable in the late 90's. I'd be in the most random places like a tire shop on a Saturday afternoon and sure enough it was on the TV on the USA network. Personally, 2 is my favorite.

[@zipzeolocke2]

I believe the first 4 tremors movies are worth watching because in 3 they evolve again which is interesting to see and then 4 is interesting because it's a prequel taking place way in the past during the 1800s I think. But beyond that it gets repetitive and ridiculous. And yeah the character Bert is literally in most of them, if not all. He even plays the role of his ancestor in the 4th movie lol

I love how this takes Tremors in a different way from the first one, kind of like how Alien/Aliens 2 and Terminator/Terminator 2 all took what existed and then shifted the style while retaining the entertainment value.

[@blechtic]

They kind of have to, since the first one in these is about discovery and demystification. You can't really play that card in the sequel even if you change stuff, because the characters already have some kind of idea. It was one of the most impactful periods in their lives, so they'd have some kind of a reference point. They wouldn't be as surprised. The same goes for the audience. Compare to Police Academy, which is just humour. They could play the same idea over and over again, except that they kept running out of jokes and had to recycle them and then had to change other things to make it seem fresh. Too bad they couldn't really write enough new jokes and think outside the box, since that's what really killed that series. The characters don't get that stale if they can keep bringing out new jokes besides a bit of something new.

It's also great because it's a direct sequel so it has the same feel of existing in the same timeline as the first movie.

[@kaijuar2003]

Fun fact: For those who don't know what the bipedal creatures are, they're called Shriekers. Only three grow and develop inside one Graboid. But here's the catch, they eat their way out the worm and when they eat a certain amount they reproduce. So in total a single Graboids will have three Shriekers and when they are free those Shriekers straight away give rise to six or even nine Shriekers. With those information in mind, there would've been a lot more Shriekers in Tremors 2 than what the characters thought, the reason we don't see ALL the Shriekers is most likely because some have moved on to different regions. Graboids in the 2003 TV series Tremors The Series, Burt explains that Graboids are now known to be in different regions and that there are different subspecies of the North American Graboids, this is likely due to the fact that the Shriekers move from one place to another. Shriekers will also turn into the Ass-Blasters which resembles Shriekers except they glide, Ass-Blasters also carry Graboids eggs and deposit them in secluded areas which will then hatch into new Graboids. It's unknown if the Ass-Blasters die after laying the eggs or they just move on. Another is that the Graboids appearing in the Precambrian is false, during the Precambrian period there were no large animals for the Graboids to feed on. Instead the Precambrian was home to microscopic animals and some soft-bodied organisms, it's likely that the Graboids appeared during the Devonian period or the Triassic when there were sizeable animals for them to feed on. It's also still possible they may still have an extraterrestrial origin since their life cycle is unlike any organism on Earth. Just watched this video right now, and hope you guys go round to watching the other Tremors films and the TV series. You're guaranteed to like them if not enjoy them in the very least. My family and I have all seven films and the entire TV series, originally they were gonna make a season two of Tremors The Series but it was cancelled and discontinued due to another series being loved by viewers which is a huge bummer.

Y’all gotta watch tremors 3 for sure my personal favorite. All three make a pretty good trilogy.

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

This is like watching the Jaws sequels. Part one is all you need.

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

Btw, when the movie was scripted for a theatrical release, Burt brought a tank, but after they only got cleared for a direct to video release, they had to cut that out But it makes more sence he brought a Truk, since the Mexican army has no tanks

[@MrAlucard1986]

I liked Earl more than Val actually overall and also, I enjoyed part 2 more

[@JokerScars69]

100% Agreed

[@WarriorPoet01]

Episodes 1, 2, and 4 (the Western prequel) make a nice trilogy. Looking forward to your review of 4 as its “back to basics” with nice period-piece touches.

[@alucard624]

After 4 it pretty much veers into SyFy channel quality filmmaking unfortunately. Not quite Sharknado bad but pretty close.

[@machfront]

The single greatest direct-to-video sequel ever!

[@TwistedSither]

I love this franchise! It's so cool that each new movie reveals something new about the life cycle of the creatures.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

They have to keep Burt on his toes. He always prepared (because he's Burt) so they have to keep throwing curves or it would be too easy.

[@WJS774]

@@dr.burtgummerfan439 And I love that they actually show that, too. Like how he catches up to Earl and Grady's score in this one despite them having a big head-start on him, and how Tremors 3 shows him on a very successful Shrieker hunt before the main action starts.

[@nathanr.494]

i remember renting this movie 3 fridays in a row with my friends back in the day. fun weekend movie when you're 12 yrs old.

[@VonPunk]

Wow almost an hour vid on Tremors II, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming, thank you for watching this film, I love this series and I hope there's enough views and comments on this that make you consider the 3rd film, so you can find out what 'ass blasters' are lol. Oh and the 4th film is a Western, you were wanting more of those right. Great reaction, made me very happy. :)

[@desmoove]

I don't quite understand why I like watching movies I've already seen like this with ya'll but fk it, I love it. It's Sunday morning, watching this again, loving every second of your reactions

[@dennismason3740]

In 1982 I was in a band just to be in a band. It was started by Joanelle Romero, an L.A. actor. We played a few gigs and the last job played we were at the Troubador in West Hollywood and did our set and they played a blues and I was invited to solo and I cut loose. The set ended and Helen Shaver, the hot woman in this film, grabbed me and hugged me and said "guitar hero!" and planted a big wet kiss on my face. I was not a big fan of the band but those 2 months were worth that one moment.

[@AndrewS17]

As a kid tremors 2 scared the hell out of me, I would watch the first one all the time but the second one was a whole different beast.

[@StuartMarchetti]

I like Aftershocks as much as the first. You can probably end your Tremors odyssey here lol

[@sssteamheat6547]

Yep, the next film is good, too. And as others have said, the 4th is a prequel, and not terrible. Quality does start to diminish as the franchise separated from its original creators. Michael Gross is the only common factor, as Burt. He's always fun. The third film goes back to Perfection.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I enjoyed all but one of the Tremor movies, but Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is my favorite.

[@ojtheviking]

I'm not too much of a gun enthusiast IRL, but I absolutely love Burt Gummer. Whether you think the sequels stink or are okay, whenever he shows up, it's all worth the watch.

[@alucard624]

Burt makes the later sequels somewhat tolerable to an extent, especially the last couple of them. God those were nearly insufferable to get through with their super low budgets and terrible acting.

[@catcherinthesky4106]

No, you didnt!?! You're watching the second one?! That's bravery!

[@15blackshirt]

This is where we see Burt become the main star of the series and the next stage of the graboid life cycle

[@Seeber420]

Nice to see this sequel getting a reaction, the first 3 were always on TV when I was a kid.

[@Pengi_SMILES]

I love Tremors and had seen it loads of times but never seen the sequels until the first lockdown. Now I've seen all 7! while none are as good as the first 2,3 & 4 all have things to recommend them- I love how 2 expands the Graboid lore for example. 5, 6 and 7 are a different director and writer but they are fun Movies- also they all focus on Burt who is an absolute icon.

[@steffondoyle8071]

23:55 “Why do they not have the monitor on them?” Me: Earl sat it down nearby. It makes a little beeping noise when a graboid is approaching. Plus, the damage done to Pedro’s truck and the display of his remains wasn’t really consistent with a graboid like at all.

[@RraMakutsi]

I'll chime in and agree with the others that are saying you should definitely react to 3 and 4... not much value in the series beyond that, but 3 and 4 are fun watches and continue to explore how the creatures evolve, and show how it all began. Plus, more Burt Gummer, lol

[@apkelly01]

I like the premise of the 5th one, but the cgi effects are so low budget...

[@alucard624]

@@apkelly01 This series got worse as it went along IMO. Took a funny concept and just drove it into the ground with terrible sequel after terrible sequel.

[@chazdarvy1507]

The blast at the end is just incredible!

[@WJS774]

This second one is awesome too. The Graboid hunting at the start is hilarious, and the Shriekers' design works as a good looking counterpart to the Graboids, while being different enough to pose a real challenge to those familiar with the Graboids, with their own strengths and weaknesses. And as learned in the third one, the Graboid life cycle makes sense if you accept that the metamorphosis is plausible.

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

:50 no they definitely came up with the name in the first movie. 😂 It was a talk between Wong, Earl, I think Kevin Bacon. I was just talking to each other just pick it off names, and all the sudden somebody said the name graboid.

[@gallendugall8913]

I like the next two movies as well. Quality drops off a bit after that, it gets a bit cash grabby, but they generally manage some interesting twists. The TV show was also fun.

[@aotearoa_goose3261]

"I feel I was denied.. critical.. NEED TO KNOW.. information." has gotta be my favourite Burt Gummer Line.

[@drewg5637]

Earl (Fred Ward) has a long list of good movies out: Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, Southern Comfort (great cast and story), Miami Blues, Timerider, Big Business (hilarious, great cast), Thunderheart ( cast and story), Uncommon Valor (Gene Hackman)

[@Ragnar6000]

Tremors 3 was pretty good! They are worth watching just for Bert.

[@charlesderosas5577]

I saw this one before the original, and I fell in love with this since then.

[@shallowgal462]

Tremors introduced Graboids, Tremors 2 introduced Shriekers, and Tremors 3 introduced something else (I decided not to spoil it). I agree in general that the other direct-to-video movies and the TV series weren't much worth watching, except Tremors 3. I liked what that sequel added to the franchise. Hey, when are you watching E.T.?

[@user-pw8wm7sf3u]

I love that thing in Tremors series - every detail matters. Even the fact that someone starred for a magazine! I just figured that out, and can't stop thinking this is amazing!

[@bigjoeofthe707]

This was the first movie of the series I saw. Saw it on Showtime. Only problem was I always caught near the end when the Graboids transformed into the Shriekers. Ever single time caught it when they’re at the refinery. Sometimes when Burt made his way back after lining through the ambush. Finally rented the video to watch the whole thing where I rented the first one too (for some reason the copy they had for both was with Spanish subtitles)

[@michaelwolfe9496]

This movie was supposed to be in theaters, but the studio wasn't confident in it, so the budget got cut and released straight to video. I think that's the reason for the smaller cast and the rather distracting CGI. The location was also changed from the Australian outback to Mexico. In my opinion 3 and 4 are just as good as this one, and I'm a little surprised to hear some people don't like them.

[@jwalker2739]

You two have to check out the third Tremors because in that movie they go back to Perfection. Miguel, the mom, her daughter & Melvin are in it. And of course Burt Gunner himself! It’s a lot of fun too and the monsters definitely keep evolving.

[@kevindobson3701]

Burt is in all 7 Tremors movies Tremors 4 is a prequel Tremors 5 is in Africa Tremors 6 is in the Artic Tremors 7 is on an island

[@83shadow3]

He's also in the short lived TV series for the most part. Minus one or two episodes but they give a reason for him not to be in the episode. Like he's doing some promotional speaking or something.

[@Alteran]

I love the tremors movies and grew up with 1 2 and 3. I would LOVE for you to react to #3 before you're finished with this franchise. There's one more big surprise you need to experience.

[@emilysmith259]

The 3rd one is pretty good too and brings back most of the original cast (still no Kevin Bacon ☹) and wraps up the story nicely. The few characters who don't come back, you hear what happens to them. You were right, it is Burt who appears in ALL Tremors movies.

[@salsanchez4177]

Personally, "Tremor 3:Return to Perfection" is my favorite sequel.I absolutely love that Burt Gummer becomes the lead after this one for the rest of the movies.Tremors was almost perfect and Tremors 2 is a great movie.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Yeah, rattlesnakes are a type of pit viper, so named because they have indentations on the sides of their face/snout that are its heat-sensors. This is why it's advisable to wear thick leather boots in their habitats, partially to protect from the fangs, but more practically to insulate your body heat from their view.

[@anthonykodaski6161]

I love this line. I am pretty sure we don’t get to know their names till later in the franchise. He has literally mentioned in the middle of the first film. They literally have an argument over what they call these things and the person who named them literally shouts out their name

[@mikefrerichs8860]

If you've never seen any episodes of the TV sit-com Family Ties, you ought to watch just one episode to see Michael Gross (Burt) playing a COMPLETELY different character. You'd be amazed. Also, that's the show that made Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future movies) famous.

[@JohnDoe-fb1zv]

Funny you mentioned Burt with a tank the original script he used a tank in the movie, but due to budget cuts the filmmakers had to settle for the RC tank instead.
