Last post I mentioned if a theater movie comes back not just Kevin Bacon back but it have a popcorn bucket. What would the design be? The original tremors logo from the beginning of the first movie showing the creatures throughout the franchise allover the bucket would be cool. Another idea is the mug from the 2003 series at the end of one of the episodes of you don't remember is the bucket looks like the outside of the graboid and the inside have a little man inside just like the mug and have it be articulated open and close the mouth as a cover for the bucket. Any other popcorn bucket ideas?

So Dune 2 came out I'm new to it and missed the Livestream TremorsSaga did of the two as I am also getting into Dune I like any worm content. Then I thought wait if Dune 2 can get a Cinemark or AMC Popcorn Bucket although had a terrible or suspicious drsign what if Tremors had a popcorn bucket. I mean Tremors would need a theatrical film MORE REASON FOR UNIVERSAL TO PICK IT UP! I mean Kevin Bacon wants to come back Stampede tried hard to get it back and still are but also on other projects, Blumhouse tried it and got axed by SciFi. Universal has no regret making Mortal Engines or the first Tremors even though they were biggest bombs at the time why not continue. Kevin Bacon want a theater movie and a new theater movie of Tremors may create enough hype to have popcorn bucket fans crazy Dune fans seeing another worm movie might join in on the watch. Why doesn't Universal do more?! I also ask the same for Mortal Engine film content but that isn't for here that's for the other reddit for Mortal Engines.

Anybody else feels like they are eating the inside of a tasty graboid while eating a pepperoni hot pocket?

I'm just rewatching Tremors free on YouTube, and Rhonda's count was off. There were initially FIVE graboids. I noticed that, because, when Miguel sent the small tractor out, there were 2 in Perfection which chased it. One at the store, and one at Nancy's house. And there was one at Bert's. Bert and Heather had already killed one. As had Val and Earl at the concrete trench. So, 3+2=5. Even though, after they killed the first one, Rhonda had said 3, and they told Bert 2 after they killed one. Later on, one just seemed to vanish, unless it was just a plot hole all along.

I believe Bert and Heather met at a gun show and had to meet cute where they both put their hands on the same gun at the same time. It was love at first sight.

Honestly although all the movies are flat out dumb after 1 and 2 but still had interesting add-ons like 2 was shriekers 3 was assblasters and was only movie to have all of the life cycles even though we didn't get to see living shrieker. Series had everything nee thrown at it. 4th movie forst and probably only prequel to ever be made and added new lore of graboids and Burt and of how they hatch and what they look like at amateur stage. 5 had new variant and bypasses shrieker stage with detachable legs and new Burt lore. 6 had Burt and the graboids intertwine in story in fatal plot adding a parasite and gave us small glimpse of who's to take Burt's place if he's gone. 7th new Burt lore and new variant the invasive Biotech variant of graboid and bringing the shriekers back with a different ability. 2018 series we don't see much but hey More Valentine in Tremors by just the trailer alone wven if we don't have 2018 series brought back. 1996 cancelled Lost Monsters series would have had more Fred Ward and Valentine against bigfoot robot toasters and a vampire including other notorious creatures. Even if everything after 2nd and 3rd fell flat at least it threw out something fun and interesting within each new installment. What do yall think?

So in the first 2 movies we see Nevada and Mexico with the original designs, then in 6 we see Canada but they have the designs from 5. If America and Mexico have the same breed of Graboids shouldn’t Canada have the same breed as the rest of the continent and not South African Graboids.

Hey there Tremors fans. Besides moderating this subreddit, I also admin a small website, an archive of sorts, where I try to collect all things Tremors that might be difficult to find elsewhere: wallpapers, various images, videos, Tremors videogames and transcripts of some cast and crew interviews that Universal might take down from YouTube one day, and so on. You can take a look at it here: en.tremorsheads.ru (can't link it properly, reddit won't let me) (It looks kinda bad on mobile though)

If any of you have anything Tremors-related you think might be worth preserving, please reach out to me in the comments or message me, and I will be happy to upload it to the website. Thanks!

I typed this up last, I'm not in love with but its just silly fan fiction lol, here's the ending

...

The group introduce themselves to each other, and despite high tensions they work together.

the men discuss the monsters, wonder what they are, where they come from. Some accuse the nazis its one of Hitler’s experiments, some same space, some say ancient eggs that hatched, or maybe they’ve been here along but isolated in the African desert.

the tank slowly moves through the desert night, as the soldiers see the plumes of smoke trailing them. The nazis say they were heading for a nearby secret airfield, it was quickly abandoned months ago after general Himmel commanded immediate reinforcements to the Eastern front. There may be fuel or even a plane out of the desert, but its deeper into the desert, if theres nothing there they’re dead, but they’re low on fuel, they calculate they probably will run out before they reach the US army base. They decide to try the Nazi airbase.

On their way, the Americans want to use the tank’s artillery, but the Germans explain they’ve already tried it, it cannot penetrate through the ground to kill them. they want to try anyway. As the group argues, one of them loads the gun and fires a round into a sand dune, the men notice the graboids flee. Our protagonists mention this, the Germans say they’ve noticed they’re scared of it. Our protagonist disagrees, he deduces it hurts them. they theorize they see by sound, and thats why the high frequency of the explosion scared them off.

The protagonist tells them he has an idea, they wait a moment, and then fire again, this time counting the plumes. 4.

If they’re attracted to movement maybe we can set a trap, like a bomb. The men concur, and start throwing rocks and debris to a spot I the desert, a graboids mouth snakes come out, the men observe and throw a bundle of grenades, the graboid swallows it. A few moments later a giant explosion under ground, and orange blood and guts spew all over the men and tank as they cheer. They try it again but no takers this time, they are stunned to conclude they must be incredibly intelligent, they know its trap.

Morning arrives, They reach the airfield, its location remained a secret as there normally wouldn’t be a long enough landing strip in the desert sand dunes, but this area has rocky flat top above a large canyon.

They can make out 3 small fighter planes left in, two in one hanger and one the runway.

They concoct a plan, they’ll fire an artillery round, and one man will make a run for it to a plane.

The Nazi commander volunteers, he gives the signal, the round is fired , and he makes a run for a plane in the hanger as its closest. He reaches the plane , the men cheer, he fires up the engine and begins traveling down the runway but doesn’t get far before a graboid bursts beneath and decimates the plane and the commander.

They figure they’ll have to fire a second shot for the plane to have time to take off, but they only have 3 rounds left. The men argue over what they should do.

Our protagonist says he’ll try next.

They fire the shot, he makes a run for the hanger, but one of the plumes doesn’t flee far, it knows it’s a diversion. He sees he’s not going to make it the plane and diverts to a stack of boxes in the hanger. The men yell out, but the box tips over they hear the graboid erupt from the ground, and then silence.

They have one chance left.

Another man volunteers, they fire a round, he makes it to the plane on the runway, he gives the signal and the men fire another shot , he moves farther down the runway, the plane starts lifting off the ground when a graboid explodes from the ground in mid air and takes down the plane. The soldier badly wounded on the ground sees the plume coming, he grabs his bag and pulls out explosives , as the graboid envelopes him he ignites them, killing them both. 2 left

The men are out of ammo, they have no way to get to the last plane in the hanger safley. They begin arguing, just then the graboids start attacking the tank. They’re digging the ground beneath it, lowering the tank foot by foot, trying to bury them. One soldier has had enough. He takes the remaining explosives and walks out into the desert. he’s dragged into the ground, and shortly after another explosion in the ground. There is only 1 graboid left.

The survivors feel hopeless.

Just then, they hear the sound of a plane engine fire up, it’s our protagonist, he’s alive and barreling down the runway, the graboid abandons the tank men and starts chasing the plane. he accelerates as fast as he can, the men cheer him on to pull up, but he doesn’t , he keeps the tires on the ground. He drives the plane off the cliff and the graboid follows him, flies in the air and explodes onto the canyon ground as the plane lifts higher in the air, the men cheer.

The survivors lay on the wings of the plane and fly out together a la flight of the phoenix. The end.

movie idea, I thought it'd fun to come up with a movie idea where the audience doesn't know its a tremors movie. part of what made the first movie great imo was the complete lack of knowledge of the monsters. This movie would be advertised as a world war 2 thriller , and only half way in would the it be known its Tremors. what'd ya think of this I typed up last night on my phone lol

In Northern Africa desert during WW2, an American and British convoy is traversing a desert after fleeing from a terrible defeat by the Nazis, who are hot on their trail. In order to evade conflict, their best hope is to take a path through a desolate part of the desert, whom the locals helping guiding the troops say not to go. The convoy experiences a number of disappearances, at first unnoticed until a headcount is made, until finally a body is discovered. The convoy believes that the nazis are nearby and slowly picking them off one by one, while some believe there is a spy or traitor amongst them and they are responsible. Tensions rise, accusations are made, the desert heat is stifling, rations are running low, there is confusion on exactly where they are in the desert, if they are still on the right path, and arguments are made if they should turn around and face the nazis. Leadership is questioned. Our main protagonists keep morale going and band the men together.

One day they spot the nazi convoy through binoculars very close to them, almost within shouting distance, but to their surprise the convoy is much smaller than what was initially trialing them. The men speculate, they may have split into groups, some may have been ordered not to pursue. They notice something strange , all of the nazis are on top of their tank and trucks, and they seem frantic. The men decide if they should ignore them and move on, or attack. They will have food and water, and they’re more vulnerable in their smaller group. They decide to move closer. As the convoy trucks move forward, streaks of sand can be seen erupting from the ground , heading closer to the convoy. the German’s being shouting and waving their arms to get their attention.

The convoy notices this, they can see can the germans holding up a sign, they grab an American soldier who can speak German. It says get off the ground. Just then a giant graboid erupts from the surface and drags down a soldier. Then another graboid, and another. The men hastily shoot the ground to no avail, and some climb up on the trucks. After the carnage stops, night begins to fall. The American soldier begins sharing messages with the German soldier, they share their radio frequency and begin communicating over the radio. The germans’ explain that a few days into their pursuit they began being attacked by those underground monsters, they can bury a whole truck. They have survived only by using the tank and dragging a truck in tow, but they are out of diesel. The trucks won’t make it out of here with those things, the other nazi trucks went down. They propose a truce, to drive over to the nazi panzer VI tiger 2, refuel , and ride out together. The soldiers deliberate, and being arguing, the noise of which triggers another attack. They quickly agree and floor it to the nazis. The reach the nazis, and after a tense beat, begin working together to refuel, all while being under siege of the tremors, who knock men off the trucks, and take down the US convoy truck, leaving the remaining survivors on the nazi tank.

The allies and axis soldiers flee on the tank. to be continued

Burt isn't even aiming at the ass blaster. I just noticed it today

Burt isn't even aiming at the ass blaster. I just noticed it today

Do you think the graboids ever had any predators to keep the population balanced, like a creature capable of going against all 3 stages of the life cycle because if I remember correctly ass blasters lay graboid eggs, graboids give birth to 3 shriekers and shriekers can multiply by eating so there should be a creature capable of controlling the population

I do movie and tv commentary as a hobby (don't worry Mods, I'm not selling anything and I don't have any social media pages to advertise) and a while back I did Tremors for the horror subreddit. I didn't know back then that Tremors had its own subreddit or I would have posted it here too!

I do commentary by watching the movie, pausing when I have a thought or theory, then writing it down and resuming. It's very stream-of-consciousness. I find people like that more because they can follow along with where I am in the movie. Anyway, I hope you like it!

​

The Commentary:

I don’t know anything about Tremors, but I can see from the cover here that it appears to be a creature feature. And the name is “Tremors” so I assume it’s about underground creatures lol Let’s get into it. Hope you enjoy my commentary!

1. Opens with a cowboy peeing off a cliff with some cattle nearby. Nice job setting the scene lol

2. Lmao, the cowboy has a fun sense of humor. “How many cows are required for a stampede, Earl?” lol Also, this cowboy guy is kind of cute in a lesbian way. He’s got delicate, feminine features. I don’t like guys, but if I absolutely had to pick one, he’d probably be on the list.

3. “I ask you, is this a job for intelligent men?” “Show me one, I’ll ask him.” LOL I hope this humor continues because I love it.

4. Whaaat? The cowboy isn’t a real cowboy? I am strangely disappointed. Oh, but his name is Valentine? That’s a cool name! And lmao Valentine reacts just like me to the possibility of seeing a girl!

5. I’m in love with Rhonda the Seismologist. But why the heck is her nose covered in powder? Are geologists really into drugs? Also, Earl is kind of judgy, isn’t he?

6. City of Perfection, population 14? And I thought I grew up in a small town! I like these characters though. Two minutes of screentime and everyone already has personality.

7. Holy crap, that scene of the thing underground going after Rhonda was so good! That music was creepy, and that camera following her at ground level (not to mention the shots of the ground moving!) was so effective! I’m actually a little bit spooked at that! Can you imagine how scary it would be if there were monsters or something underground in real life?

8. They’re storing their drinking in an old toilet? Lol I know they’re in a junkyard or something but come on now.

9. Lol that was gross. I don’t know why Melvin is laughing, all that poop is getting all over his house. But I love how that was what made them decide to move lol Get covered in poop in front of witnesses, leave your whole life behind and start over somewhere else! Also, do Valentine and Earl live together? I mean, considering that Valentine got excited about meeting a girl, I don’t think he and Earl are a couple… but I could be wrong. Maybe they’re a homosexual couple who occasionally have a female third?

10. She’s jumped on that pogo stick 640 time? Wow! And I love how excited they are at having turned down free beer lol one day at a time, guys! Sobriety is a process!

11. Um… Edgar isn’t moving and didn’t respond to them calling his name. Valentine is a way nicer guy than me because there’s no way I’d ever climb up an electric tower to rescue someone lol

Oh my god, that music combined with that reveal of Edgar was scary! And he’s holding a big gun too. Did he climb the tower to get away from the underground things and then have a heart attack or something?

12. Oh, Valentine immediately asks if it was a heart attack lol great minds! And Edgar sat up there for days and died of dehydration? That’s so scary! Like, what do those things look like that he choose to slowly die on a tower instead of taking his chances on the ground?

13. Oh, the sheep are scared, which means I’m scared and that scarecrow is moving and that guy just got pulled down!

14. Valentine has the right idea. Who chooses to commit suicide by dehydration? And why would he have a gun and not use it on himself? Come on, Earl, use your head lol

15. Holy crap, all the sheep are dead too! Also, I love how Earl just lets himself into Fred’s house lol Ah, I share Valentine’s sentiment! “What the hell is going on? I mean, what the hell is going on?!” I’d probably react even worse to seeing a severed head on the ground! I think it’s severed anyway. It looks like there’s blood around the neck but I suppose it’s possible he was just pulled into the ground up to his head.

16. If you’re gonna warn people about a killer, you might want to stick around to give them some details lol and oh my god! The jackhammer hurt the thing and made it mad! So many people are dying in this movie, and so quickly too! We’re not even twenty minutes in!

17. “Man, we decided to leave this place just one damn day too late, you know?” lol I’m glad they’re keeping the humor even as the movie gets more serious with the horror factor. LMAO! “Is there some higher force at work here? I mean, are we asking too much out of life?” my point exactly! Oh god, that’s a bloody helmet. Also, Earl keeps his gun in a brown paper bag and that’s funny to me for some reason.

18. Holy crap, it’s a tentacle! That’s why they couldn’t move, something grabbed the truck. Oh wait, it’s not a tentacle. It has a mouth lol they ripped it in half. But there must be more than one if we still have most of a movie to go. It doesn’t look like a snake to me, and Burt has an excellent point about Fred and the sheep.

19. Oh no, it’s nighttime. The dark is scary enough even without underground maneating monsters! And now their lights are going out! Something ate the generator!

Oh, that made me jump! Something just threw the generator out like twenty feet into the air! Maybe Valentine and Earl only killed a baby, cuz I can’t imagine that thing on their truck being able to do that.

Listen to your wife, you idiot! And he’s being sucked underground. Oh wow, he’s really screaming. We didn’t hear the others scream, this one is so much worse. They can’t get her in the car, but she just watched her husband die. Oh shit, they’re pulling the whole car down!

Okay, that was the scene that definitely reminds us this is a horror movie!

20. Burt has the right idea. They need to get lots of guns! And Burt’s wife is probably the levelest head here. And she’s armed, so she’s smart! Also, “Here’s some swiss cheese and some bullets.” “Thanks, Walter.” Like… what? Lol Also I love how Valentine and Earl settle all arguments with rock paper scissors.

“You came that close. Too close. No more games.” Damn, I think I love Burt now. Also, wtf Melvin? Where are his parents? Is Nancy his mom?

21. I originally mistook Valentine for a cowboy and here he is riding a horse with a cowboy hat and jean jacket and cowboy boots.

22. They really buried that whole car! And Earl and Valentine are smart, asking the right questions. How and why would they do it?

Oh shit, the horses are scared. We’re about to see them! Wow, they’re strong to restrain an adult horse!

I don’t even know how to process what I’m looking at. This thing is huge! Its mouth breaks up into pieces? And those snake things come out of it? Wow, you can really feel how strong it is with how fast it burrows!

There’s no way it’s really dead. Earl’s right, it knocked itself out running into the concrete (also, why is there a random concrete ravine running through the desert?)

23. Oh, maybe it actually is dead. That’s a lot of blood. Whoa! It’s so long! It has spikes coming out of the side, which Rhonda just explained. Thank you, Rhonda.

“Oh sure, Earl, everyone knows about them, we just didn’t tell you.” lmao! I love love LOVE this movie’s sense of humor!

24. Oh, there’s three more! That explains why they’re eating so much.

Earl stepping in that prairie dog hole scared the crap out of me lol I like Earl and I don’t want him to die!

25. They’re up on rocks, that’s good! Also, these special effects of the monsters moving underground are so good!

Aw, Rhonda and Valentine are sleeping all huddled up next to each other. Why is Valentine cold? Aren’t they in a desert?

“Can I borrow that shovel?” Throws the shovel, monster eats the shovel lol That’s why you don’t loan people things!

26. I love that the solution to their problems is pole vaulting. That’s outside-the-box thinking lol

Lmao! Valentine just punched one of the tentacles!

27. Oh… someone did come to check on them. That music was scary!

28. I love all these people so much! Especially Walter with his obsession with naming them lol Okay, maybe not Melvin. Like seriously, dude, there’s a time and a place and this isn’t it. See?! Boy who cried wolf!

I’m not sure being inside is gonna help. Sure seems like they could break through the floor.

Oh no, Mindy and the pogo stick! And she’s wearing headphones! In any other situation a grown man tackling a little girl playing the street might seem bad lol

Oh my god, she’s wrapped up in barbed wire! Why would it eat that?! Isn’t it getting splinters and cuts?

Oh… the movie found a good excuse to get Rhonda out of her pants. She has really nice legs, and a really nice butt. Just saying.

29. Okay, I know the refrigerator is making noise but they are making way more noise trying to turn it off. And see?! They can come up through the floor! But man, I like Walter.

30. I don’t know why they didn’t all just get up on the roof to begin with if that was an option all along. I’m glad Rhonda’s okay!

31. Oh, I forgot about Burt and his wife! Lol it’s kinda funny that they’re the most competent and well-armed people and yet they’re the last ones to know what’s going on.

What the heck is she doing with those bullets? Putting them in a rock tumbler?

32. Oh no, they’re in their basement! Ah, but they’re fighting back! I don’t know if guns are gonna be useful here. Holy crap that’s a lot of guns. I’m glad she saved Burt, even if that was nasty! Okay, maybe they’re going to win. That is a LOT of guns. And that is a BIG gun!

Oh, they won! That was awesome! “Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn’t you, you bastard?” lmao that might be my favorite part! Oh man, I really hope Burt and his wife (is her name Heather? I want to say it’s Heather but I’m not sure) survive the whole movie.

33. “We killed that motherhumper!” lol censorship makes for some funny lines sometimes. The shots of everyone celebrating makes me want to celebrate too!

But this is a horror movie and we just had a happy part. That makes me nervous.

34. “You didn’t get penetration even with the elephant gun.” Wait… so Burt’s big gun is an elephant gun? As in, a gun used to hunt and kill elephants? I’m not gonna lie, if he’s an elephant hunter, he might just go from one of my favorite characters to bottom-of-the-list ‘I hope you get eaten next’ characters.

35. Oh shit, they’re figuring out how to tear the houses apart from the ground up! They’re smart! And Nestor just died. I’d be sad about it, but honestly I haven’t bonded with his character the way I have everyone else. Oh… they just ate Burt’s truck lol

36. lol I love Earl’s plan but that IS a long walk. I get how using that four wheeler can distract the monsters but why not just take it to the bulldozer? Also, I love Valentine lol always complaining that he’s the one doing everything but then he willingly does the work to protect his friends.

37. I know that Rhonda just saved Valentine’s life by breaking the water pipe but all I can think about is how they’re in a desert and they’re gonna run out of water.

38. Are Burt and Heather making bombs? I love them! Oh, but they’re digging the ground out from under the bulldozer! They really are smart! “I wouldn’t give you a gun if it was World War 3” lmao!

39. Wow, those mountains are really beautiful. Holy crap, they dug a trap! How freaking smart are they? Also, is it weird that Burt really makes me want to learn how to shoot guns and make bombs? Seems like a useful life skill lol

But I really hope that gun Burt gave Melvin is empty because Melvin is not what I think of when I picture a responsible gun owner. Hah! It is empty! I also love that Burt checks the cylinder for bullets after getting it back even though he assumes it’s empty. Now that’s a responsible gun owner!

40. Why are Burt and Valentine fighting all of the sudden? Is that some sort of male panic response? Lol Also, Valentine called the monsters “graboids”, which is what Walter wanted to name them before he died. That is so sweet! And it makes me sad for Walter again

Also, Heather calms down Burt and Earl calms down Valentine. Just two level-headed competent people calming down their hot-headed romantic partners… lol

41. Oh, Earl is so freaking smart! And good with a rope, apparently lol Hah! It worked! And it’s raining orange monster guts! Lol only one left to go!

42. It spit the bomb out right back at them! Did it do that on purpose? Also, everyone else is yelling to make noise and Burt is shooting guns and jumping off the rock lol Burt is just on another level. I’m choosing to believe he doesn’t hunt elephants.

43. Holy crap, this is so tense. Valentine was right! The monster was trying to trick them!

Oh! He threw the bomb behind it on purpose so the blast would make it go crazy and run full steam ahead! And right out of the cliff! “Stampede!” See, Valentine is smart too!

44. Ooh hoo, Valentine is throwing away his ex-girlfriend’s pictures. Clearly, he’s into Rhonda and clearly she’s into him. The two prettiest girls in this movie are into each other lol Yeah! Just go for the kiss (but after clear signals that it’s welcome. Actually, given how bad men are at signals, you probably just shouldn’t follow Valentine’s example in real life lol)!

Concluding thoughts: That was so so good! I really loved that. Aside from a few parts it wasn’t that scary, but I’m learning that horror doesn’t have to be scary to be great. Honestly, I think I liked this movie more than Scream. Maybe I’m just a creature feature kind of gal, given that I loved Jurassic Park, Gremlins, and now Tremors.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who recommended Tremors to me! I really effing loved it! Feel free to recommend any other really good creature features to me if you want.

Been watching for months and don’t think I’ve ever seen it marked down and can’t find a sign of it ever being on sale searching through Google.

I don't think Earl in Tremors 2 directly confirms it but was Val the one who got rich and famous or did they both get screwed out of royalties?

This is my first rewatch in quite some time, and there is the scene where they’re talking about the monster name and say they should wait it out cuz someone will come check on them. Then it cuts to a pickup at the rocklife w a tool belt and helmet near by where someone was grabbed. I always just assumed it was the original 2 workers and they were just showing it again for emphasis or something. But now I’m suspecting I’m just stupid lol There looks to be a red phone near the tool belt. Was this in fact someone that had come to check what happened to his guys? And that it was showing us no help would come?
