"Broke into the wrong God Damn Rec room, didn't you!!!!" -Burt Gummer

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

the "rec room" reminds me of the experience, that we've all had, where you go to an acquaintance's house and they casually reference a type of room in their house that you've never heard of, like "Roger is probably watching the game in the Den" and you're just like, "what the shit is a 'Den'?". personally, that moment always made me feel like; "this place is bizarre and probably unfriendly, and I should leave before they walk me into the 'vivisection chamber'"

[@theprofesionalist7927]

The funniest shit in these movies is that one scene where the doomsday prepper character survived waves of these worm attacks and he's all like "I'm out of ammo...THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!" and he just doesn't know how to feel about that! XD

[@lance5445]

The second movie isn't as good but still pretty fun and underrated

[@deslacooda]

Even more badass is he said he had to switch to CQC/Hand to hand methods. Just imagining Burt parrying the little bastards complete with 'Souls sound effect.

[@alanguillermo3145]

"I feel I was denied...CRITICAL...NEED TO KNOW...information..." I just love his delivery of that line. 😂

[@rosenrot234]

Burt was going through it lol

[@TrueLegateDamar]

He was outright mad he wasn't informed the Graboids had a surface mob form and that he would have brought automatic assault rifles with drum magazines if he had known.

[@SeruraRenge11]

That pan to the wall full of guns is amazing. It's almost something out of a Naked Gun bit with how much is there. As someone said on the video for that scene, it puts a whole new meaning to “I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.”

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

Tremors is a classic. It just works. Burt is the best, the basement scene perfect.

[@kruaser123]

If I remember right the slime from that era was a mixture of vaseline and ky jelly. Then in Predator they took the same recipe but added the insides of a glow stick and made the Predator blood.

[@rosenrot234]

The amount of monster effects being lube or condoms is surprisingly high. Like the xenomorph lips in the first Alien.

[@ZhangHe2369]

I also like that the preppers aren't too crazy. Like, when Burt hands an empty gun to the teenager, and the kid angrily hands it back, he still checks that it's empty and safe before holstering it. There's a very proud firearms safer instructor somewhere on that set who did his job a little too well.

[@KurstKensei]

That part where one of the graboids dies running into a storm drain concrete always kills me lol

2:20 - not specifically related to Woolie's trope here, but 'Properly Paranoid' more or less covers it.

[@AwsmChimera]

Ah, Tremors. What a bomb-ass movie.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Yes, graboids IS awesome

[@Zekana0]

Fun trivia, the first tremors 1 basically bombed at theaters but it did really well on the vhs owning and rental market. Thus movie 2 and onward were basically made for the home market.

[@Ragnarok_1218]

Tremors is my all time favorite creature feature. Its such a good goofy series. I can quote Burt's "Need to know information" rant from the second movie because i watched it so much.

[@MinersLoveGames]

1, 2, 3, and 4 are all pretty great in their own right. The first one is just an outright classic. Two and three up the ante by revealing the life cycle of the graboids, while having their own memorable sequences as well ("I am completely out of ammo" and "that's two and a half tons of high explosives!" for two, the chainsaw versus the graboid and "that's why we're on top of the food chain!" in three). And four takes the formula and brings it back to the Wild West, which is exactly as fun as it sounds. Everything after that you can take or leave, but it's just a fun series as a whole.

[@MrFox-ox2ze]

The last one had the balls to kill off Burt so I give it respect despite its issues

[@chakatBombshell]

The TV series was also pretty fun.

[@ShepherdShang]

The Tremors tv show happened. I know it aired on the Sci-Fi channel here in the US. I don't know how many episodes there were, but I do remember the one where Christopher Lloyd made a cameo. I saw the show before I had ever heard of the movies.

[@Burst-Omega]

There was supposed to be a new TV show that ignored everything after the first movie that starred Kevin Bacon

[@cybernurgle6413]

Only one season unfortunately. It had goddamn Christopher Lloyd in it!

[@Americanbadashh]

I loved the TV show

[@zoxxzy]

The way Pat said "Pre-Reedus" made it sound like either an embarrassing medical condition, or the specific medicine for treating an embarrassing medical condition.

[@trifontrifonov4297]

Now Woolie needs to watch the second movie. While not as good as the first, it's still a goddamn masterpiece and incredibly quotable.

[@bodenking]

I hope he watches 2 (might be my favorite) just to see his reaction to the “What? I was going for maximum penetration. I didn’t know,” scene

[@IstasPumaNevada]

The first Tremors movie is a perfect movie. It's not the _best_ movie, and obviously it's not for everyone, but it's a perfect "movie". Script, setup, payoff, characters, etc. Finely crafted and exactly what it's supposed to be. Also I love it. I'm glad Woolie got to enjoy it. I remember enjoying 2 as well but my memories aren't as clear and my recommendation not as certain.

[@planguy9575]

It did everything it needed to do and it did it well.

[@SeruraRenge11]

Exactly. Tremors is a perfect movie in the same way the original Ghostbusters did in that everything from a filmmaking persective was done just right.

[@TyranusRex721]

I keep forgetting Woolie had such a strange childhood that he has never seen like half of the movies and games that most people have for a Millennial.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Tremors is one of the best goddamn monster movies that ever existed. It's an all-time classic.

[@MrFox-ox2ze]

I have an idea for a new sequel that I think is interesting. Basically mad scientist once again fucking around with graboid DNA and ends up finding some of Burt's remains and revives him as a human graboid hybrid

[@DoveAlexa]

The Extremist Was Right is the trope you're looking for. Also Crazy Prepared, Crazy Survivalist and Survivalist Stash. ... TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary

[@MattManDX1]

I just checked and their Crazy Survivalist entry even has Burt Gummer as their quoted example

[@otakugamer108]

"Properly Paranoid" also relevant here.

[@manwiththemachinegun]

The film gets it right both ways in that rather than have another "out of writing ideas" bullet-proof monster, the Graboids can be killed with guns like any animal... but because they travel underground they're not particularly useful unless you can see them as they're attacking.

[@grandobsidian]

The cut off point for tremors is "when have you had enough Burt Gummer?" For me that doesn't exist and I'll power through it every single one of these movies. For most people it's 2, 3 or 4 but 5 on start using cgi exclusively for the graboids and it's weird

[@planguy9575]

This is a great metric.

[@benlunaris]

The fact that all the actors play it like actual people and not generic horror tropes is great...Also the fact the Graboids smell really horrible because of the guts and parts smelling for real I do really wanna see a Tremors 2 Podcast where Woolie talks about how dire the concepts become and how he wishes Burt was a main character in everything

[@fien111]

to (mis)quote Mandaloregaming "The Grabboid can survive our bullets.....but can it survive *ALL* our bullets?"

[@chadrageus]

Fuck yeah Tremors is the shit!

[@michaelmaguire4147]

Graboids basically have Toph "vision" from the last air bender, it's all vibrations, I suppose it only matters how close to you they are for the different variations (to rationalize)

[@Lanewreck]

Woolie is describing the gimmick "gross toys"; gack, fluberr goo, or Ivan oozes ooze, when talking about the "slime consistency" if any of you wanted a core memory of touch unlocked again lol. You're welcome, or I'm sorry, depending on how you take that information.

[@mindfreaksniper]

Broooo, I remember wanting the Ivan Ooze ooze so bad as a kid. It just looked so tasty😂

[@ThatGrumpyOldBastard]

on the Alien slime: Can't speak for certain on the earlier movies but I know that they used KY Jelly for that in AVP, as the Director's Commentary on that mentioned that the local Customs of their filming location had impounded their shipment and got them in some hot water, cause the massive amounts of lube being shipped brought up some red flags.

[@fifthgod]

Nobody tell Woolie what Hollywood uses to make SFX slime.

[@awkwardGardener]

The Tremors TV show actually did air, but never finished its first season despite being pretty well received. It kinda expanded and added more creatures to the lore for everyone to deal with. Also the 4th movie is genuinely pretty good and worth a watch.

[@awkwardGardener]

@@baronvonslambert Oh damn, I guess I totally missed that.

[@Biodeamon]

"oh no the girl got the airpods in!"

[@randomgenretalk8151]

As someone who watched all Tremors movies, you can watch Tremors 1-4 and have a good enough time. After that the movies feel more and more like made by Asylum Films. They miss the self awareness and humor hat the first ones had. What made me laugh at the 4th one was that the small town, characters, everything was the same but 200 years in the past which was really funny. Michael Gross the actor who plays Burt said that he does the role of the character until he dies or the character dies. Because coming from a Sitcoms that was more tamed and conservative, he really loved to play this gun loving guy. Btw, he is a really cool guy and very chill.

[@planguy9575]

Those are my numbers. But honestly all the movies are at least watchable, for me.

[@TheOtakuKat]

Pretty sure 3, 4 and a TV series was done the Sci-Fi Channel and they're all fun direct to tv/dvd schlock, as for 5, 6, and 7... well you still have Michael Gross as Burt Gummer still and that's about the must enjoyment you'll found from those movies.

[@rvb1caboose]

I love Woolie trying to describe lubricant.

[@RichardJohnson-wd1gp]

I think it was RLM pointing out that this would be perfect to teach Chekhov's Gun. Every element introduced has a payoff

[@OmusKnowsAll]

YES! TREMORS, what a classic. I even just rewatched it a week ago with my roommates. Perfect monster movie full of charm and fantastic dialog.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

Tremors 1&2 are undebateably great. 3&4 are fine. I didn't even know there were more after that, so I can't say.

[@planguy9575]

Tremors 2 is so good. They couldn't get Bacon but it works for the plot. "Hey man, you want to fight more worms?" "Hell no. I got a wife and a pretty good life. I ain't doing doing that." The only one who consistently comes back is Burt, because he is a modern day dragon slayer. He lives for this shit.

[@jayvenomva5971]

5 is super good it's Tremors but In Africa. 7 is also decent but not as good as anything before it. 6 is not worth your time. It's boring, you never get to see any graboids and just isn't worth your time

[@drew1429]

Oh you would list 4 as just "fine"? It is my second favorite after the first one personally. It is the one I recommend the most besides the first one.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

@drew1429 while I like 4 as an individual movie, there's still this weird vibe it gives me given the context of being part of the rest of the series... a general issue with prequels...

[@lewa3910]

THERE WAS A SHOW THO it was also cancelled but it got at least a season or two.

[@VidulaSaix]

I don't know how Woolie went so long having not seen this, but I'm glad he did because we got this moment. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid and still holds up even today. The second movie is pretty good as well as a nice evolution of the formula. Beyond that, if you just want some campy bullshit check out the third one and the TV series that aired on Sci Fi. Beyond that I can't really recommend them at all.

[@chakatBombshell]

I love these films for how amazing the effects are and the monster is done well enough you'd believe the scenario, its not some unkillable horror its a living creature that can die like any other animals and its awesome how the movies change it up just by establishing the creatures have a weird but understandable lifecycle, even the assblasters make sense to make sure to spread the eggs far so they don't over populate an area. The first 4 movies in the Tremors franchise are all great watches, heck even the TV show is awesome.

[@B0110CK5]

The Kamen Rider Skull statue in Pat's backdrop is making me hella envious T-T

[@sodathejunker]

Woolie seeing tremors for the first time so recently is almost as insane as the fact there are 7 of them. And having seen them all, gotta say a surprising number of the sequels are pretty fun

[@MrFox-ox2ze]

That finale though. I didn't think they'd have the guts but DAMN what a way to go. Still think my stupid idea for "predi-burt" in 8 has potential

[@michaelmaguire4147]

I love that Burt's actor stuck with the franchise, and transitioned to the main character for like all the one's after 3. (Do recommend, they are hilarious; we get Graboids in Africa, Graboids on an island, and Graboids in Alaska.)

[@davespacemin2951]

😂 the flying ones omg

[@hiroprotagonest]

I vaguely remember seeing Tremors, I was definitely too young to appreciate a comedy framed like a horror

[@Dragonsmana]

I think Tremors 1-4 are all worth watching. 5 is where it goes downhill and isn't as entertaining. There was a single season of a TV show back in the early 00's that takes place right after 3. It's pretty fun and they even get Christopher Lloyd in there! Featured a lot of Monstes of the week, which is exactly what it should be. Funny enough, it adapted some ideas from another cancelled 90s series that only got as far as concept art. The series features Burt from the first 3 films as a main character too. You guys are thinking of the Kevin Bacon series that got cancelled before it really even got off the ground.

[@_Jay_Maker_]

The scariest part of the original Tremors is the car burial scene, which was legitimately terrifying. Tremors (along with Robocop and Predator) is absolutely, 100% a perfect film. Bonus if you watched the TV version aired on cable decades ago, which was hilariously edited for TV and had some absolutely godlike dubbing for content.

[@voidcamel5981]

Heads up the TV show existed on Scy-Fy and had its own story about govt over reach and henetic experimenting. And Doc Brown shows up in one episode

One of the best community moments during the first months of Breath of the Wild was seeing “watch Tremors” offered as earnest advice for players frustrated with a certain overworld boss.

[@DonUmbra2346]

One of my go to movies for arguing in favor of practical effects and why we need a resurgence of them in films. This shit is built to last. Not saying we shouldn't have CGI, just that it should be used more sparingly. Use practical for anything that is feasible, and use CGI for stuff that just can't realistically be done otherwise. Plus actors can do better performances when they have an actual prop to look at and not just a tennis ball on a stick. For anyone who wants to watch these, I agree that 1 and 2 are must watch. 3 and 4 are less good, but you can easily buy a 1-4 pack cheap so why not? No idea if the TV show is good, my guess would be not.

[@YourEvilHenchman]

something that woolie didn't quite touch on about the prepper characters that really makes them work in this film is that they're believably kooky without being stereotypical right wing nutjobs or being hateful in any way, and they have *impeccable* firearms safety training standards. which of course makes it only more obvious that they're characters in a movie and don't exist in real life lol

Woolie is referring to that unaired pilot episode from an attempted 2018 series that got cancelled with Kevin returning,

[@saorlathesurly]

I have no clue if any of the same people worked on the two, but Tremors is very similar to Starship Troopers. The Graboids' appearance and sound effects are lot like the Bugs

Hey Woolie I don't comment on your videos very often but they did make the TV show, and it was pretty good so I'd recommend looking for it

[@MuffinHunterX]

The first three movies and the TV series (which is more of a cryptid of the week situation) are all worth your time. The remaining four movies, personally I still thought they were a fun schlocky watch but I'm not sure I can say they're all that good. Michael Gross (Burt, the prepper) is in every movie though.

[@RichardJohnson-wd1gp]

Nope is kinda like Tremors but in the air

[@jasongarrett768]

[@siggysaurdough6235]

I'm gonna be real with everyone. I may have accidentally based my adult personality off of Burt Gummer. I remember watching this movie when I was like 3. And now I have like 50 guns (including fun stuff like a FAL, G3, usp, etc) Tremors IS THE BEST.

[@WorldsTallestLeprechaun]

IMHO, the Cut Off is Tremor’s 4. 5 and onwards are dogwater trash, don’t waste your time. 1 through 4 are the best in quality, Burt Gummer ALWAYS has the best lines in the first 3, while all 4 are enough to establish a kind of timeline for the Graboid life cycle, which I personally think is interesting. Doing this WITHOUT SPOILERS (for the most part) so watch the movies to find out for yourselves 1 is giant worms. ‘nuff said. 2: we find out that if the giant worms survive long enough, they become something else and the rules for survival change DRASTICALLY. 3: A further evolution, which is not AS drastic as the 2nd form, but still makes them more dangerous, while also revealing the discovery that “graboid eggs” are a thing, and that the 3rd evolutionary form are the ones that carry the eggs. 4: Set in the old west, with an ancestor of Burt Gummer (played by the same actor) dealing with graboids AND the true “first form” of the graboids, which is what hatches out of graboid eggs and eventually becomes the worms we all know and fear. Everything after that was just poorly tacked on BS with “different evolutionary paths” and “a graboid queen” (or was it king? Alpha? Don’t care, didn’t see that one) until the Final one which was just BLATANTLY a Jurassic Park knockoff with graboids instead of dinosaurs.

Yeah! The Tremors love is unexpected but welcome! First one is definitely a classic. Goofy, sometimes tense, maybe even scary, but all around fun. The second one is enjoyable as well. Not as good as the first, but it can definitely be a good time. The third is pretty odd. There's some enjoyable bits but it definitely feels like they're running out of steam. The fourth works better than you'd expect. Still not as good as the first or maybe even second, but it's another fun flick. I don't remember much of anything about the films after that. They got really weird and just...blech.
