13:35 The camera pan over to the gun wall is one of the most awesome and hilarious moments in the movie. As soon as it happens, you _know_ it's on now.

Tremors is one of my favourite films of all time. It is just so perfectly tied together. Absolutely nothing that becomes important in the second half isn't put on the stage in the first half - it's as tightly written as Back to the Future. - The cliff at the end is the cliff at the beginning, and Earl talks about a stampede in their banter at the start - The poles they use to pole vault are from the old broken fence that Val and Earl are replacing - The barbed wire that Rhonda gets caught in is a spare roll from the fence they were putting up - The freezer unit in the shop is shown making a noise before it attracts the graboid later - The pogo stick - Earl driving the cat early on - Even 'population 14' lets you know exactly how big the cast is so you know there's no-one else to help or rescue - The final graboid is the one that took a bite out of their truck, because it's missing a tongue/head, and it's the one with the grudge against them And so many more! And every one of them is so subtle it feels like a perfectly natural piece of colour. It doesn't have a single plot hole or loose thread and, almost uniquely for its time, the couple get together because they're both resourceful, earnest and capable of improvement, rather then because they are the Designated Hero and Designated Love Interest. I could never tire of watching this film. Almost as good as The Princess Bride.

He never actually watched the finished film until 25 years later, when he began to look at it in a more favorable light and actually reprised his role for a failed tv pilot a few years ago.

The Red Letter Media guys talked about this one a while back. They pointed out that all the way through the first part of the movie, *sound* is used very well, long before you know it's what the creatures are hunting with. Whenever they cut away, they cut to something noisy -- like the jackhammer at the road work. And when Val and Earl are investigating the sites of the kills, they go for a couple minutes with no dialogue as they look around, just sounds. It makes you watch -- and listen -- to the movie in a whole new way the next time around.

@Britcarjunkie

Bacon's wife was pregnant and had some sort of medical problems at the same time, they were also trying to buy a house, and he didn't want to leave his wife's side, but they needed the money, so when you're still basically a newcomer in acting - and you need the money, you take what you're offered. At the time, he thought a movie about giant, man-eating worms, was a stupid idea (that's how it was presented to him), so, due to the stress he was under, he did it, and never looked back, until he got tired of people asking when he'd do another. That's when he finally watched it, and realized how good it really was.

“That little trench thing?” It a canal. This is one of my favorite movies. Every time I watch it, I always say that if Val and Earl taken everyone back to the canal immediately, everyone would have made it out alive. But the movie would have been shorter.

Reba is so sweet. When she was in Annie Get Your Gun here in NYC she stopped into my hotel for dinner. I was able to chat with her for like a good half hour...a few weeks later she came back and we chatted for like an hour. So incredibly nice, sweet and funny

Reba isn't just in it. She's a Boss!

This is a 1950’s sci-fi/monster “B” movie done right, set in the modern day. It’s right up there with the classic movie Them, about giant ants. It didn’t do well when it first came out, but developed a “cult” status from reruns on TBS and USA networks. I thought it was very good movie when it came out. It still holds up today too.

Fred Ward was an awesome actor, and still kicking at 78. Not only was he great in Tremors, he was a scene stealer in "The Right Stuff" (1983, about the developments of jet test pilots, the early space race, and the accomplishments of the Project Mercury astronauts [the "Original 7"], it was nominated for 8 Oscars and won 4, a great movie with a stellar cast!). Fred's big leading role movie was 1985's "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins", shot 5 years before "Tremors" and it's interesting that he did most of his own (insane) stunts. It's has great humor, action, and character development. I highly recommend it to you Ashleigh, you'd dig it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reacting to Tremors! Brought back some fond memories. I was serving aboard the ballistic missile submarine USS George Washington Carver when this movie came out. During one 90 day patrol this movie was played at least 50 times......so much that the crew would shout the lines at the TV as the actors were saying them. Different crewmembers would play each actors role.......a good time was had by all!

You gotta watch “Footloose”. Kevin Bacon, Christopher Penn, (Sean Penn’s brother), Sarah Jessica Parker, John Lithgow, and a bunch of others. I’d be interested to see if you like that one.

My Fred Ward recommendation is Big Business, it's on Disney+. Him, Bette Middler, Lily Tomlinson and Burt from Tremors is in there too.

Fun Fact: Tremors, like "Bad Day at Black Rock" (1955) was filmed in California's Owens Valley (Hwy 395) around Lone Pine (Mount Whitney). "Gunga Din" and countless westerns were filmed there.

There's a "film museum" in Lone Pine: I haven't stopped to look around, but they used to have a 30' long "Graboid" from this film, on display. They also hosted a (or several) Tremors cast reunions.

I dunno, there are a bunch of movies that can be in the running to fit that bill. "Dumb and Dumber" is the first that comes to mind -- people think that dumb comedy is easy, but for smart people, it's actually really hard. Especially to predict what's funny. "Samsonite. I was WAY off!" A lot of overlooked clever movies can be that way, too. Alex Garland's Dredd was way smarter than most people initially gave it credit for, being a "dumb action" movie and all. But they did an excellent job of character development through action, which is a great play for an action movie.

They all were introduced to the public playing the dumb character on a sitcom, and they all went on to interesting acting careers that showed intelligence and talent. The lesson? it takes a smart person to play dumb well.

Here's a fun fact: Brent Maddock and SS Wilson, the screenwriters, whom were in the Navy, were sitting on a large boulder in a Nevada Test Site, they were taking notes and one of them said, "What if there was something under the ground that would never let us off this rock?" And thus Tremors was born.

The movie was shot in the Owens Valley in Southern California. It's a real piece of history. If you ever heard of a guy named Mulholland as in "Mullholland Drive". He's the one who turned the Owens Valley from green to brown. Those irrigation canals in the movie used to have water in them. All that water that used to flow through the valley now flows directly to the City of Los Angeles.

Loved this movie growing up. Have a few Millennial mates from work that are trying to go through a list of 80s & 90s movies based on recommendations. We've since set up a monthly movie catch up to work through the list. Tremors was definitely a hit with everyone! Solid movie. Love your content. From 🇦🇺 👋

Just so you know. When you see "sunscreen" that thick on someone's nose it isn't sunscreen. It's zinc. It's extra sun protection because the nose is often the first thing to burn. I've seen people put zinc on their nose, their cheek bones and their ears because those burn so quickly.

Great review to one of my favourite films!

I don't consider Tremors a horror film. I think of it as a action/creature feature. Trivia: Burt and Heather used the following firearms to kill the Graboid that burst into their rec room: Stey-Mannlicher SSG-PII, Winchester model 70, Winchester Model 1200 Defender, HK91A2, Colt AR-15 Sporter II, Remington 870, Sig Sauer P226, Ruger Redhawk, M8 flare gun, and then finally Burt finishes it off with a Belgian William & Co. 8 gauge shotgun (the Elephant Gun).

8:05: this scene just reminded me of something: have you ever seen The Neverending Story?

This movie was my FAVORITE to rent as a kid. Literally every time we went to the off-brand small-town video rental in the 90's, 6 year old me would immediately run right to the horror section and grab that tape! 😆 Then, I'd spend the rest of the half-hour looking at the kid's movies for whatever else I thought might be good enough to watch afterward. None of them were ever as good.
