    To answer your question Katie: that blue device cleans off brass for reloading it, Burt and Heather save their brass to load new bullets into it. It's a common practice for people in rural areas, since buying reloading equipment and loading your own ammo is more economical down the line. Especially in common hunting calibers, where buying large amounts of ammo for them can be much more expensive than simply buying common calibers like 9mm or 5.56 in bulk. Additionally, you can load for more specific niche purposes such as long range shooting or taking certain types of game.

      @@cthulhuspawn6290 Honestly? I would say go with 30/30 over .270, simply due to the immense popularity of the caliber and the guns that take it. Alternatively, you could get into PRS which handloading is an essential part of.a

    A true classic and gem of a movie. A simple but imaginative premise executed nearly flawlessly on a low-ish budget with masterful practical effects, and some memorable and likeable characters that actually think and make some smart decisions (at least as smart as they can in the circumstances) resulting in a near perfect film that knows exactly what it is and relishes every second of it. Love this one!

    There is a documentary about the making of Tremors, in it was also explained that because it did not have 1 specific genre, it did not compete well at the box office, that being said, once it came out on video it became a sensation and grew to having a cult following, this movie and following movies (which include a prequel) grew in popularity but not in theatres.

    You have to consider that this was made in 1990 and at the time, it wasn't considered a "B Movie." Sure, it wasn't a "blockbuster," but it was a legit low-budget, Hollywood film when it was made and with 3 well known actors/performers during the era. Kevin Bacon was a big name at the time, having broken out in 1984's "Footloose," which was huge hit. Reba McEntire(the red head) was a Country Music star and is a legend in that scene in modern day. Freddie Ward was also a well known name at the time.

My dad passed when I was 8, and the owners gifted me a brand new tape, and the window sized promotional poster.

    One of my favorite things about Tremors is most of the characters make good decisions. Turning most of the Human vs Graboid interactions into realistic conflicts. It is things you can see actually people doing with their skill sets and knowledge. Same with the Graboids as well, they start to realize the traps and tricks and make smart choices. Also it doesn't fall into the trap of making the one educated character have all the answers and know the right path all the time. It is a team effort with strength, experience, and knowledge.

    Good news! There's 6 more movies in the Tremors franchise, and each adds some different permutations or additions to the lifecycle of the Graboids. Part 4 is a prequel, set in the old west, and introduces us to what the worms look like in their larval stage. Tremors isn't actually a B-Movie itself, but is an homage to the old-timey B-movie type monster movies. The movies keep the theme of "monster movie action/comedy" throughout the franchise, including the Sci-Fi channel TV show spinoff. I'm one of those fans that has the whole movie pack. 5-7 sort of drop into B-movie territory for quality, but they're still fun to watch.

    I love this one because of the creativity of Tremors. It's basically an animal attack movie like Jaws, but with a fantasy creature that doesn't exist. It's honestly a tight script with great visuals, and only one character acts like an idiot. Everyone else acts entirely logically and intelligently based on the knowledge they have at the time of an attack. As well as some great creative thinking about how to resolve their issues. Such a good and fun movie 🙂

    Tremors does a lot of things brilliantly. Unlike many horror films, you have a cast of likeable characters, who don’t make blatantly dumb decisions, and who learn about the monsters and how to outsmart them. Not only that, but the monsters learn from our heroes choices too, forcing them to have to adapt and overcome new challenges along the way.

    There's a couple of sequels (Fred Ward came back in the 2nd movie), a prequel & a TV-show, and Michael Gross starred in all of them as Burt Gummer.
    They actually made a reboot TV-show 2 or 3 years ago which had Kevin Bacon returning, but it was cancelled before it could be shown.
    There's also a cancelled video game. I assume you would play as Burt & Michael Gross did the voice, I also heard that Keith David (who you have seen in The Thing & you definitely need to watch They Live 😉) & Frank Welker (legendary voice actor) did some voice for it too.
    Not exactly a monster movie, but Night of the Creeps (about alien parasite slugs turning humans into zombies).
    There's a similair one, but that one has some monster effects, Slither by James Gunn.
    Here's a couple of monster movies; Q - The Winged Serpent, The Deadly Spawn, The Brain & Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer.
    Here's two bizarre creature feature by Frank Henenlotter that I highly recommend; Basket Case & Brain Damage.
    If you want a couple of fun & bizarre movies, check them out! 😉🙂 Also recommend Henenlotter's Frankenhooker, which is according to Bill Murray himself the best movie of 1990 😉

    I would recommend reacting to the 1996 horror film Tremors 2: Aftershocks, starring Fred Ward, Christopher Gartin, Helen Shaver, and Michael Gross, if that's OKay? While it doesn't have Kevin Bacon as Val, it does have Fred Ward returning as Earl, who's been hired to deal with a Graboid infestation at a Mexican oilfield. Plus, it has Michael Gross returning as Burt Gummer, which makes Burt more of a main character. It helps cement Burt Gummer as one of the legendary horror heroes and sets Burt up as the main character for the sequels after Tremors 2.

    With a lot of the movies that are popular with reaction channels, all of the available ways to watch them look terrible except the physical 4K UHD disc. Like with Tremors, your options are gorgeous 4K UHD disc from a recent scan of the original negative or an HD transfer of third-generation elements done in the late-'90s that's processed to oblivion.

    The hump in the ground moving was done the same way as towards the ending of THE THING, They rolled a heavy ball on an angle on rails, covered by earth/dust powder for some scenes.
    Survival in the desert films, ive always liked THE FLIGHT OF THE PHEONIX both the 1963 version & the 90s Remake, although the 63 film was better, to me. Worms are homaprodites, as are Slugs & Snails (self reproducing)
    TREMORS 2 was hopeless & silly. I'm interested in the Western set one in the...1880s a good idea, to set the story then, involving Gold mining/"Prospectors" I think, but I havent seen it, STARSHIP TROOPERS was a bit, surviving in the baron Desert I didnt like those Arachnid designs used in that film
    the tv series, not bad, typical American out back in this film, where they think they can sell ANYTHING. A bit like the farmer segment in CREEP SHOW with the Meteor.

    burt & heather's rec room scene was great
    if you haven't seen it watch the movie 'slither' some great practical effects too [but i suspect some cgi]

    Burt Gummer is my spirit animal! His actor Michael Gross was most famous at the time for '80s sitcom "Family Ties" where he played the uber-liberal Dad (who worked for a non profit while being the Dad of commited yuppie Michael J Fox. Burt Gummers wife was played by country music legend Reba McIntyre, while the young girl Mindy, was played by Ariana Richards. She went on to play the young girl Lex in "Jurassic Park" in 1993.

You should also see Stir of Echos 1999 a sci fi horror also with Kevin Bacon Also a great Fred Ward movie is Remo Willams the adventure begins. I love the scene with the monster that attack the gun crazy couple it cracks me up :) . You got in into the wrong rec room :) . Fyi about the crazy gun couple. The woman is Reba a famous country singer and the guy was famous as the hippie dad (What a 180 :) ) on the popular 80's show Family Ties with Micheal J Fox (Marty from Back To The Future). Also the ending was change because the test audience wanted to be a kiss.

    this whole movie series is nice and even the tv show. this movie was pure physical and practical effects
    they did the dirt tunneling scenes by filling a tube with dirt and forcing the camera through it. each craboid above ground had a few people operating it and even in the third movie they had alot of practical effects
    since you love creativity check out "wizard of speed and time" its a classic oldie but the creator Mike doesnt want anyone to monetize it s all money would go to disney who literally screwed him out of all money from that movie/short

  • @nemanjastanimirovic155
    @nemanjastanimirovic155 Před 9 měsíci

    Honestly if you liked the ways they beat the graboids and the escalation of strategies they had to employ to outsmart them, you might like the tremors tv show. Now there are quite a few big turn offs about the show, like due to its miniscule budget most of the effects are really bad cgi and what little is practical looks very cheap, graboids don't play a big role in many of the episodes, it's a follow up to the third movie so you should watch that before it and the only character from the movies that comes back is Burt Gummer. But a lot of the monsters pose interesting challenges that make them hard to take down with something conventional as shooting them, and the ways they do beat them are usually really creative.

It's not quite a kaiju movie, but it's a very good, traditional monster movie and if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. It's very similar in many ways to Tremors.

    First time watching. I like the heart rate counter you put on the screen. Never seen that on a reaction video before, nice work :) I think you might like the second and third movies as well, they were pretty decent too. The TV show and last four movies are OK enough to watch, but not as good as the first three. Maybe you can answer a question for me. I've watched a lot of reactions and a lot of people talk about the effects being practical or CGI. Why does that matter to people? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious because if I let myself think about the effects, it takes my attention away from other parts of the movie and I miss bits of dialogue and such lol.

      Hi! Thank you the heart Mon was originally for my twitch streams but it made sense to include here too! I'm absolutely gonna check out one or two of the others.
      So I'm an artist and I like to focus on the practical effects artists works because they very rarely get credited or eyes on their work, the entire focus goes on the actors/directors/screen writers and very rarely on the hard work of the artists. Nowadays even more so on practical/makeup effects artists who are losing jobs every day to cgi taking over. I'm not against cgi, I think the two should be balanced. If there's no balance a lot of creativity is thrown out of the window

    This one owes a lot to JAWS despite being on dry land, if your going for a very similar story, it must be done well & this one is, again proof positive that you CAN mix Horror with comedy, BUT that's hard to get right, it didnt work for DOG SOLDIER'S or THE MUMMY (Brandon Frazier) & so many others BUT it did work here,
    "there's a lunatic going around he's cutting off heads" ha ha ha great comedy, the tongues didnt work, to me, but the reveal of the "Graboids" REAL size did, clever misdirection, a good design with a maggot type body & the domed...pincer like head (apparently based on a Turtle's beak) the original design got rejected because the Producer a woman, said it looked too much like giant dicks under the dessert, as though they were chased by penises.
