blowing up his bunker left him broke, also for Decker, Burt chose perfection for the 'geographic isolation' but that oppertunity may have only been open to him because he inherited family owned land surrounding the old mine which probobly went bust in the 20's
He actually says he invested all his money in silver bars when you watch the tremors series season premiere which is labeled feeding frenzy so yeah he had lots of money but it was mostly in guns and silver bars
Was just about to make the same point... There's no way to amass the kind of collection Burt is shown to have in the first movies and *NOT* come from some serious money...
Can't speak for the first movie but he made a shit ton of money thanks to the events of Part 2 and likely got more money in Part 3 thanks to what he did for the people of Argentina.
You say you don't know where Burt's family money went. have a look at his gun collection and survival bunker, complete with enough food to feed three people for six years, and I think we know where it all went.
I don't get why people didn't like this prequel. The setting was well done, I like how they gave us a perspective of everyone's ancestor (especially Burt Gummer), we got to see what Graboids looked like before they grow into their adult size, and there were some good lines that came out of this (i.e. "You missed! With a cannon!"). I'm glad to see someone had something GOOD to say about the movie so thank you for this review.
@Ben Fletcher no, this would have been roughly 100 to 150 years back, harem probably thought he was done with it al, and didnt feel the need to say anything about it. Do you know what your great great great great great grandfather, was up to
I think it's quite smart to set the movie in the distant past, when people was more vulnerable (+ old west is awesome), because every horror flick nowadays needs to explain why characters don't use cell phones or don't know what the zombie is. Plus, I don't feel that graboids belong to modern times.
After rewatching this on Syfy just now, I suddenly had an epiphany. It came to me during the Gattling Gun Scene... I...honestly would've enjoyed a Sequel to the Legend Begins, once again set in the Old West. Of the current movies, the Old West is actually the only one to feature the Gummer character undergoing personal growth, and all of the characters in the town are easily likable. And since Perfection Valley seems to be a breeding ground for the Graboids, with two more sets of them popping up more than 100 years later, who is to say there aren't MORE Graboid nests just buried out there, waiting to be discovered. I'd be interested in seeing how the Wild-West Perfection and its citizenry deal with a Shrieker incursion, or maybe even the Ass Blasters. Ultimately, I feel like the Legend Begins happened as a means of keeping the franchise fresh, when Burt could virtually kill any form of the Graboid's life cycle with any number of weapons at his disposal. Putting the characters in the Old West and stripping any knowledge of the species from them, coupled with the limited availability of weapons and adequate firepower to combat the creatures, made for an interesting idea. We didn't get past the Graboid Life-cycle in this movie, because it established just how hard it was for these Frontiersmen to kill them. I feel like with another sequel set during this time, would ultimately accomplish the same thing; maybe this time, they are prepared to deal with Shriekers due to the gattling gun, but are still outmatched due to sheer numbers.
While that would've been cool, it would've also roundhouse kicked the timeline and continuity. If Graboids kept showing up over and over again, then there would be no reason for the people of Perfection to keep quiet about it.
would be a great way to bring back Goss too (since the killed off Burt in the 7th movie, or at least in the cut we all seen they did despite filming him surviving) since he could play an older version of his character in this movie although idk how that would work since people didn't really live to be 70-80 years old back then because of not as good medical care and all but we have the technology and make up now to make him look younger i guess
@@thefanwithoutaface8105 yes there would, they wouldn't want the government swooping in and making them leave like they tried to do in the 3rd movie, and that would also add to the gummers paranoia that has been shown in the other movies, showing how they got to be so paranoid other than u know the dirt dragons XD
4:08 Have not seen Tremors 5. But instead of cloning or descendant, I'm calling it as Burt being paranoid enough to actually freeze himself cryogenically.
@@cooperwatkins6063 3+ is when the series started to suck hard. But at the same time I love the series so I don't care, but when you think about it they stopped giving a damn after 3.
The graboid life cycle makes a lot of sense. The graboids being the main part of the cycle. Then they turn into shriekers to make as many as possible. Then the shriekers morph into ass blasters that can fly so they can spread the eggs as far as they can. Then it starts all over again
+Lore Dragon Okay, here's a crazy question then... why don't they turn into flying "ass-blasters" right away after being graboids? You can "make as many as possible" out of them too without the shriekers... in fact, the shriekers are a painfully pointless stage of the life cycle.
+kurvos they are very important, being a-sexual they can reproduce quickly and in vast numbers (like let's say 1-2, 2-4, 4-8 and so on and in a couple of hours they shied their skin and ass blaster blitzkrieg) without being killed a few thousand ass-blasters take off and spread out quickly, ensuring the species flourishes. So in a way, a better species then the xenomorph. (God saying that puts a bad taste in my mouth)
***** ... right, so, why can't the ass blasters be the ones asexually reproduce quickly? Wouldn't that make more sense? Again, no, the shriekers are absolutely pointless.
+randomusernameCallin you bring up a good point. Another is that once they become assblasters they loose the ability to reproduce (menopause) and only have the ability to ensure survival by flying to a new location and perhaps they burro into the ground and lay become decomposed since it takes a few million years to hatch.
Burt is basically the Stan Lee of Tremors movies or the Arnold Schwarzenegger, Goss has said that as long as they want him to come back he will even though he is in his 70s right now
Well, it could be that it wasn’t the Official Official staying that it is a town that can exist in the United States. Or unless that they wanted to hide the town long enough to have the carcasses decay to prevent any scare.
Right To Censor 9/11 was in no way an inside job you idiot Plus How the hell can you believe that it was and not be a flat Earther Nobody ever believes one without believing the other you’re the first
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away a very old and large space graboid nearly ate the Millenium Falcon. Eventually, an incident happened which sent the asteroid containing said creature hurtling across space; probably some alien named Gurt Bummer trying to blow it up or something. The asteroid killed a significant amount of the life on Earth at the time when it hit, burning up the space graboid... but deep inside the asteroid... some of the eggs... SURVIVED. The End. Its the perfect prequel that you never even knew you wanted to see. You're welcome.
John Danforth I'm sad now. The devs for Friday the 13th The Game teased Jason X being added. It was back when the Virtual Cabin update was released. The virtual cabin has lots of lore and behind the scenes goodies as well as puzzles and being in first person contrary to the main games 3rd person pov. Upon beating it, that is to say complete all the puzzles and explore everywhere, you will find a door that transports you to the ship where Jason X takes place. Jason X appears and kills you shortly after. You then recieve the following message "Congratulations, you have unlocked Jason X and the Grendel map when it gets added later" or something to that effect. It was never added. I can only assume there was trouble with copyright issues. Also questioning why they haven't released Savini's Jason for those of us who didn't pre-order (console) or backed the kickstarter (pc). I was so looking forward to Jason X and the Grendel spaceship.
Fun fact black hand Kelly is based off Burt gummer which was intentional to give some backstory to Burt's love of guns and make Hiram get a love for guns as well
Um given Bert's massive gun collection and access to a metric ton of explosives I would say it shows he has got mad wealth he just doesn't show it by buying fancy clothes and shit.
The "ton of explosive" was/were stockpiled over years of preppings in the first Tremors, then, in 2, the truckload of pure Michael Baying" was a lended/given surplus from the "mehican military", ( movie logic, give it to the crazed, non-native civilian instead of doing it). Now, since the divorce means: "wife brought half, then took and went", that do muddy up the water a bit too much to try and calculate his actual wealth... Buuut, yeah, without being rich, good frickin luck! First, you'd need, as a "cash only" preper, to ALWAYS have some form of liquid payment, basically A: "money no credit" and B: "accumulated surplus of past income", also known as "cash" and "riches", to create an underground shelter, then another, followed by 'nother and in each, store a entire, genuine: "stockpile". Oh, yeah! Let's not ever forget that being a true prepper isn't like being a normal "gun entousiast", so then we gotta mention he'd need the cash/liquid payment just for first buying and then, also training/practicing with each firearms, combined with aquiring multiple means of esc, (vehicular transportation(s), with secondary and tertiary options or "backups". As for final yet basically essentials worth the mentionin': just count a primary housing, (ye ol' house),as safe living location and at least one extra for esc, ( underground safehouse/bunker). Gummer is a prepper worth his salt, so he's not/never was "poor" in any case, moment or form until at minimum the beginning of the fourth movie and there's that whole "we don't get to see" period between the 3rd and fifth sequel of Tremors... Which are separated with a time-span of years. Ps: Justifying: Gummer, in the second, had a fair claim to the primed "pay for kill", counting a 25000$ price for all/each killed Graboid and some unknown payment for the Shriekers, (they did waste ALL their asses!), that alone would provide whatever income needed for the guy's prepping. So yeah, guy's "family owned riches" could've been used or "shared" with his wife/ prepper-helper, then, by the time, (six years later), the second Tremors begins, the timing is juuust right to explain the loan/gift of military-grade explosive, since, seriously, he's NOT crossing the border with that entire truck full off up-to-a-ton of "jihadist Christmas decorations", North to South or vice-versa! Now for the fifth Tremors, ol' Gummer has become a caricature of self and he's more "old Rambo" than "LMOE-prepper", (last man on Earth), what with his life as a "retired militarish dude" schtick, the "ba(ldy)chelor that won't party" rather than a true-grit survivalist. I'm sincerely loving all Gummer representations, but you can't bee Bear Grill, filming yourself doing yer stuff and expect to be still the: "paranoid, Doomsday prepper", that's for sure, mother-humper!
When I was kid I was too terrified to watch the 1st tremors movie but after watching this one I got back into the series. Also always your videos are great man.
Watching this again for an October marathon since I love your content and realized I never understood the "no hint Gomer came from a rich family" wouldn't his buttload of weapons, rations and access to high tech when he lives in the middle of nowhere be a hint that he has money?
Having seen them all this is my favorite.I remember Sitting in my grandfathers cabin watching this with the family a big tub of pop corn and my 357 and or 44 with hard cast bullets close by. (The cabin is in bear country and we had to kill more then one predator out there hence the fire power.)
In regards to Burts rich heritage: Hiram is an ancestor, it is very possible that the family stopped being rich. Money runs out and things change. Or Burt spent it all on survival shiy
All these years and I never remembered the one joke I liked in this movie was the I Ching calling the Graboid "the Great Conqueror." The Conqueror Wyrm, GDI.
Burt did kinda have wealth. Well used to. In the first episode of the Tremors TV series, he mentioned that he couldn't get insurance due to Perfection being high risk. His back up being a bunch of silver bars he had in his bunker. Which is an obvious call to Tremors 4 and Hiram. But when he blew the bunker up after an Ass Blaster invaded it, he was instantly broke.
I love the concept of the punt gun and I'm surprised nobody ever figured out how to properly use them in war because that just seems like the human thing to do
Hey Decker im a big fan of the show and I wanted to say that you helped inspired me when I wanted to make my own reviews so I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and hopefully I'll get as many subscribers as you do some day!
Funny minor fact: that 2" punt gun is actually still legal in the UK ... as long as it doesn't have a magazine tube capable of holding more than 2 rounds.
The 2" bird gun wouldn't bother with an integrated cartridge, I assume because its rare, and not needed to be reloaded quickly. Once you fire it, wildlife is going to run for the hills.
The one thing i really liked about this movie was some of the shot where you see the Graboids in their whole glory where really great green screen puppets shots (ex. the scene where the worm comes out of the ground infront of Gummer before he shoots)
okay besides the fact the break through concrete brick walls how did he get the saw blade into the ground? not to mention that it is a large toothed flimsy tree blade and would of bowed under pressure or grabbed the thick skull and went with it not slice through it like it was butter. mean what do i expect tho they use a ice hook to drag a 1200lb plus worm with a train a the acceleration of a sport car.
The TV series explains that Burt had a stockpile of silver bars in his bunker, which he blew up in part 3. Which is also why he doesn't have as much firepower in parts 5-7.
20:26 acutally since it is 1889 burt gummer didn't move to the spot where his great grandpa lived til 1980s one hunred years later than graboids appear again
Still my personal favorite Tremors movie 6. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection 5/4. Tremors 5: Bloodlines And Tremors 2: Aftershock 3. Tremors 6: A Cold Day in Hell 2. Tremors 1. Tremors 4: The Legend Begins
In the first Tremors movie it was established that Gummer and his wife choose to move to Perfection because it was geographically isolated. But I can forgive such lazy plot writing to see Gummer (well, Hiram, not Burt) take a liking to weapons and survival prep.
Lol. Billy Drago's gunslinger Kelly, had to prove jus skills. They must not have watched The Adventurers of Brisco County Jr. Such a shame he's no longer with us. He always played great bad guys, but was a kind, caring, giving man, in real life. At least he's with his wife now. Rest in peace William.
It looks like the history of graboids in Perfection and the world is: -Precambrian/cambrian times, worldwide distribution and numerous. -BC and pre european coloniser times: graboids hatch from eggs and appear in the mountains and land around perfection, as well as other areas in the mid west, these encounters with people are bloody, violent and cause them to be viewed as mythical monsters from the underworld, and likely prevent the graboids from continuing to be active for long as likely either graboids, or shriekers are killed before they can multiply further and hatch eggs, though some are likely laid. -this film late 1800's, a clutch of eggs hatch, causing the birth of graboids, they cause the town to all but vanish and leave, taking a month to become full adults, all are killed thus keeping eggs from ever being laid. -Tremors 1( 1990's): the graboids hatch from another long dormant eggs, existing off of any fare they can until two labourers discover them and alert others, all are killed in graboid stages. -Tremors 2( later 1990's/early 2000's): a new clutch hatches in northern mexico, allowing for the first time since the days the indigenous american tribes encountered them, shriekers to appear, all are killed. -Tremors 3( 2000's): another clutch hatches again in Perfection, likely as the mountain and valley of perfection isolated them and may have allowed more eggs to be laid without being killed in graboid stage. This time ass blasters are allowed to develop, the final stage, however again all but 1 graboid el blanco who is sterile are killed, and no eggs are laid, the area becomes a reserve for graboids. Tremors tv series( late 2000's): el blanco continues to thrive, as perfection continues as a reserve offering tourism, along the way other shriekers, graboids and even the captured ass blaster become active in and around perfection area. Tremors 5:(2010's) Graboids hatch in africa, evolving into the next two stages being killed, Burt gummer kills them. Tremors 6: (late 2010's early 2020's) graboids hatch in the arctic circle, also sometime between the tv series and now el blanco dies, the town dissapears except for burt and jodie chang moves out, leaving nothing but relics of perfection, a dying town finally dead.
my big issue with this is that in the first movie burt says that the reason him and heather settled their was geographic isolation not him being born their
