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.

[@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.

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?

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.

Fred Ward is always great fun and turns any movie he's in into pure gold. He's one of the most unsung Hollywood actors. Basically a character actor with star potential.

He was also in Escape From Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood and The Naked Gun 33 1/3. If you like Fred Ward, you should really check out those movies.

[@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.

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.

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

[@loudmusickillsthepain648]

For a Kevin Bacon suggestion, please react to 'White Water Summer'. I think it's his best movie. It's for sale/rent here on KZbin.

[@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.

[@andkon73dex44]

I love the tremors movies

[@TBRSchmitt]

Some low budget yet high quality fun!

[@awmperry]

1 and 2 are great; 3 and 4 are weaker, but I enjoyed them nevertheless - indeed, 4 always used to be my favourite for Hiram Gummer’s character evolution. The TV series was pretty fun for what it was, but not on the same level. Apparently there are more films, but I haven’t encountered them yet.

[@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.

[@julienielsen4462]

Happy you guys are continuing the series. Nobody is continuing it so far. I watched the beginning of the last one, will try to finish it.

[@krashd]

31:20 All snakes can see heat and will attack or defend themselves against warm-blooded creatures, it is also how they locate their food, their eyes are very primitive and can only register basic shapes but their cheeks are pitted with holes known as "heat pits" that let them build up an image in front of them of what is warm and what is cold. This is why owners of snakes have to warm their food, they won't eat anything they can't see.

[@aintsam9952]

Tremors 1-2 and 5 are the best ones of the series, imho. Also in the beginning, when Earl is threatening to eat the ostrich for not breeding, he fails to realize they’re both the *same sex*. And I don’t think he realizes that 50,000 a graboid is in pesos not USD.

[@filthycasual8187]

Actually they're both males, I think.

[@aintsam9952]

@@filthycasual8187 I stand corrected. Same sex is what I meant.

[@Cagon415]

29:39 That reaction. 🤣 "Shut up, lady."

[@SkyForgeVideos]

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.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

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

[@frankrodriguez2999]

Need to see Fred Ward in his own movie Remo Williams:The Adventure begins (1985) And him with a great cast in Uncommon Valor (1983)

[@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

[@GregHall-v1n]

A couple of movie recommendations: Michael Clayton starring George Clooney (award winning movie) and Phenomenon with John Travolta. A 90s classic thats been playing on cable since the 90s.

[@RogerAdams-art]

If you want more Fred Ward check out Remo Williams The Adventure Begins. Lots of humor and great stunts.

[@terminator2judgmentday30th4]

Guys if you like monsters movies check out Graveyard Shift (1990) I think, it's a movie by Stephen King's book

[@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.

[@breezy3392]

Tremors 3 is also a lot of fun. The others get repetitive after that

[@grayamirYT]

I was always amazed that Grady and Earl never blew themselves up along with the graboids.

[@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.

[@4dbright]

Tremors is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I can easily watch most of the sequels and enjoy them. I'm so glad you guys are enjoying these movies.

[@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.

[@KremitLeFroge]

Sadly, the rest of the Tremors movies are pretty terrible. But, man, these first two are a blast. Fun times. Master and Commander. :D

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

The film footage is very jerky on some vids (not the vid itself), is that some copyright circumvention thing?

[@TBRSchmitt]

Nope, sometimes the footage gets corrupted when we record and its impossible to fix as we only record our first time watching! Hopefully it does help with copyright though haha so we get some good out of the bad!

[@ryanhill8886]

Two down 5 to go. Good job keep going. I hope (if you can get it) you can also react to the TV series as well.

[@StevenHouse1980]

In the rest of the Tremors stuf(the films and the TV show) Burt is the main carictor. apart from the one film that's set in the old west.

[@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.

[@ShaunaB]

Please keep going! I personally like them through 5... but gotta do at least the first 4 😊

[@daniellerodriguez5593]

hope you guys continue with the series...love these movies. ❤‍🔥

[@CanYouHandle.]

This channel deserves to be WAY bigger than it is

[@EAZ36588]

I think the graboids came across a smarter in the first one because there were more than one in the same areas they could watch how the other ones died or they might get distracted with a trick once but weren't killed so then they figured out it was a trick for the next time. Whereas in this one their first encounter with the people they get killed if there's no one else around to learn from it you can use the same trick again. I recommend the first four movies

[@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.

[@ChrystusBrzeczyszczykiewicz]

Yes! I'm so glad you gave this one a shot. I don't expect you to keep going but if you do, you'll have at least 1 view guaranteed l.

[@peterschmidt4348]

Please watch STAR TREK! 🖖

[@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.

[@EAZ36588]

I encourage you to react to 3 and 4 as well. That will allow you to see the whole life cycle of the graboid and the first four are the best ones.

[@sathvamp1]

I actually enjoy different aspects of most of these movies including the sequels (EXCEPT for #6- that one didn't do anything for me lol). It might be because I watched Tremors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 over and over while I was job hunting for online jobs at the start of the pandemic, and so many aspects of each of those movies reminded me of my endeavor. 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

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

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

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Please watch Hacksaw Ridge & Ghostbusters Afterlife. Please?

[@TBRSchmitt]

Yes, we do plan on doing both of those!

[@2mon249]

Oooo... Hacksaw Ridge? Absolutely agree with that one. Not every case is the same though. Doss had higher ups (in the government) willing to fight for him. I got discharged from active duty BECAUSE of my Sabbath convictions (in 2008). I watched the movie (after reading book) and was like "yup, all this makes sense"

[@SathReacts]

A worthy sequel!
