    The chemistry of the two leads and their realistic world building, the small community closeness and eccentricities makes the movie the movie equivalent of comfort food. Warming and welcoming. Always a personal favorite.

    I like almost all the interactions between Val and Earl. One of my favorite scenes is when Rhonda tries to explain to Val and Earl that there are 3 more graboids, and she's showing them her evidence for her claim, but Val and Earl know they would have no idea what she's showing them so Earl says, "Yeah, yeah, we'll take your word for it." LOL

    The machine your talking about that makes alot of noise is for polishing brass bullet casings for reloading to be shot again.

    I LOOOOOVE Tremors! Had it on VHS, recorded from TV, when I was a kid (about 25 years ago now). Watched it weekly, while jumping around the living room with my friends, NOT touching the floor. Lot's of playing in the garden, not touching the ground. Totally awesome masterpiece and part of my youth! Thanks for the review :-)

    The thing that gets mentioned at about the 26:25 mark is a device used to clean brass cartridges. If I had to guess, they'd been shooting recently, and intended to reload the cartridges later. Given the circumstances, not a bad plan, but unfortunate in its consequences.

  • @TheRASDEL83

  • @MrZoolook

    I love that last clip. "Underground god-damned monsters!"
    A sentiment carried on in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th film.
    "I did everything right, and still lost."

    Fred Ward
    in
    Road Trip
    as
    Dj Qualls
    Father
    was so epically over the top
    that it's a classic example
    of how to play a
    crazed parental figure without being abusive
    I recommend to everyone to watch it for
    Fred Ward's
    performance

    Watched Tremors first in the early 2000s on TV when I was not even ten years old, to this day, I still remember the scene of the worm bursting into Burt’s rec room and the death of the final boss.

  • @varan-1999
    @varan-1999 6 років тому +5

    Hey guys, to answer your question on what Burt and Heather were using that attracted the worm to them was what is called a brass tumbler, and it's used to clean the casings of bullets so that you can reload the rounds

  • @michaelcooper3425
    @michaelcooper3425 6 років тому +11

    Realistically Burt and Heather would be nearly deaf from firing all those rounds in such a small, enclosed space. But I love the film.

    Great review once again , this is the rare movie that someone could watch countless times and never get bored of it , everything about is perfection .
    Love the sequel also, i didn;t think they could capture that magic again , especially without Bacon , but it's just as fun and hilarious

  • @Daveinhampshire

    the machine is called a rumbler, the sand along with the vibrations take out and sharp edges and smooth the bullets, i used to use something similar in my factory days

  • @jakepayne2985
    @jakepayne2985 Рік тому +1

    If there was ever a movie to sum up what I spent most of my childhood doing, it was Tremors. Way before it was in theaters, the trailer was on another VHS tape I rented. It was very vague, but just the scene of them running with the floorboards flying up behind them had me sold and at Blockbuster day 1.

    It's 3:12 a.m. here gotta get up and go to work but I'm gonna watch this video. You guys deserve more subs. Great job guys as always. So that machine they put bullets into is to clean spent shell casings so they can be reloaded.

  • @DJonScott
    @DJonScott 3 роки тому +3

    Dudes, the creatures aren't called "tremors". A tremor is a small earthquake. The scientist chick is studying tremors caused by the creatures. The creatures are called "Graboids". Graboids cause tremors / small earthquakes. The animals themselves aren't called "tremors".

    • @Ravum

    Great job with the review! Tremors is one of those fun creature feature horror films of 80's which i really wish would be made today, but unfortunately, it ain't like it used to be. That's why i always like to re-watch films like these if i want to sit down and just enjoy a good one from the past.

      @BirdsElopeWithTheSun09 6 років тому +2

      I didn't mean the Halloween movies, I meant every halloween they review a bunch of horror movies and they said that they we're maybe going to do the whole Resident Evil series.

  • @gnc623
    @gnc623 5 років тому +2

    Tremors is a blend of monster movies, adventure, and comedy, and it WORKS. Usually anything with a monster or horror movie mixed with comedy is not very good. Everything is great in Tremors. I really like Tremors 1 and 2, but then after that I kinda started to lose interest after starting 3. My favorite characters are Earl and Burt. But Val is good, too! One of my favorite lines from Earl, and it is so random, but it just cracked me up...is when the graboid has Val, Earl, and Rhonda trapped on the rock, and Earl goes, "That means we're stuck. That pisses me off!" LOL! I don't know why, but I just found that really funny.

  • @Hallowedbethybrain
    @Hallowedbethybrain 6 років тому +3

    I totally agree with Ian with his ending statement where this should be on many peopls greatest movies ever. I've also never met someone who hates this movie, and it stands the test of time.

    35:36 ah, the hidden trapdoor is so visible when Kevin Bacon runs over it, when they would have set him just a meter back or run to the left this could have been avoided. Shame, since the graboids still look fantastic.
    Also "Bacon goes with everything." Yes, to both meanings of the sentence. :D

    • @felisasininus1784
      @felisasininus1784 5 років тому

    I remember recording this on vhs when it was on BBC 1 think around 92-93, not thinking it would add up to much but what a film. It just goes to prove if you have a good script with characters you can route for you will have a film you can watch again and again. Think of Jaws the characters in the film make that movie, the interactions and such, Aliens as well
