Watch Ya Ankles! TREMORS Movie Reaction, First Time Watching 

Kevin Bacon was, as he told it, miserable while making this film; he called his wife crying that he was making a film about giant worms and thought it was the end of his acting career. He's later come to really love his involvement in this film, as it is now one of the most iconic movies he's ever been in.

I read somewhere that the reason this movie just "works" is cuz...all the characters seem "real" and respect each other. The movie doesn't follow typical creature/slasher flick tropes; The scientist doesn't hold herself above everyone, refusing to hear out the "lamens" but instead listens to people, the towns people aren't stupid for the sake of "shocking content" and all make decisions that seem practical/expected, and as fantastical as the premise seems, it has been grounded in the reality of the decision making and character relationships....and ever since I read that, I can't not watch this movie without seeing all of it and just smiling so big hehe what a treat and guilty pleasure!!!

When I was a kid my friends and I watched this, immediately started playing the 'tremors are gonna get us' instead of the 'floor is lava.'

"Big Ass Piece of Dirty Laffy Taffy" is my new favorite way to describe giant worm monsters. Your reactions are great, keep going!

Tremors is a fricking classic. The dialogue feels realistic, the actors can actually act. It's a rewatch definitely.

Love seeing so many discover this movie. One of the greatest, most perfectly structured films ever made. Classic.

"It was funny, it was fun, it was a good time" The perfect review of Tremors ❤️

"Broke into the wrong goddamned rec room, didn't you, you bastard!" :D

One of the most fun cult classic B-movies to ever come out of my childhood.

Not only did Val & Earl get on the cover of both "People" and "National Geographic" Magazines, but Burt & Heather get on the cover of "Soldier of Fortune" Magazine as well. Why do I know this? While I would not have believed such a thing was possible, not only is Tremors 2 not horrible, but it is just as good and fun of a film.

The actress who played Mindy, Ariana Richards, was also the young girl in Jurassic Park (and she's in one of my favorite movies, "Angus"). She's a painter now. Her work is at "GalleryAriana", portraits and landscapes. Beautiful work.

I love how the screenplay was written, the viewer is saying the same thing as the characters.

Kevin Bacon was like Bruce Campbell 2.0 in this film. And not one single character was unlikable. I just love this movie.

This movie's a classic, just pure and simple fun, and the basement sequence is one of the best monster movie scenes ever. And I kinda wish the movie hadn't cut out a certain something, that being Melvin's backstory, especially since it would've taken like just 30 to 60 seconds to set it up. Melvin's story that got cut is that his parents spend almost all their time living large in Las Vegas and leave him in Perfection all by himself. This kid suffers from parental abandonment, living in a town with a population of less than 20 people and no one of his own age, which makes his dumb pranks make sense, because they're the only way this teenage boy can think of to get any attention from the people around him. The movie's script also cut out a little old lady and her dog also living in town, they would've been the first victims after the graboids invade the town and attack Melvin and the others.

I have seen this movie a thousand times. It never gets old.

Burt giving Melvin the unloaded gun is low-key my favorite part. Lmao

"Thank God Rhonda's a little Simone Biles and always getting it done." I am laughing. Every filmmaker should hire you to sit in on the test screenings of their movies, Alanda. I enjoyed experiencing _Tremors_ again. It's a '50s creature feature with a contemporary sensibility to it. If you're in the mood for a Gale Ann Hurd film festival, you've got to see _The Abyss_ Nobody had tried to produce a movie underwater before or since.

Burt and Reba cracked me up they have a whole Arsenal in their house lol

“We can’t provide the medical attention he needs”!! I laughed out loud. That was hysterical.

I'm totally tickled that this film brought a smile to your face. It does the same to me every time I get sucked into it. No Academy Awards - just a lot of fun. Best. Leo.

The camera panning to reveal the gun wall rec room is one of my favorite moments. I was all, "Ohhh, it's _on_ now!" when I first saw it.

"Val married a good woman, why would he wanna die!?' -Earl, "Tremors II: Aftershocks"

I absolutely love her reactions and commentary, she really gets into the movie. She kills me with her faces and noises. 😂🤣

"Fun" is the operative word with this movie. It's caught halfway between being a cult film and a forgotten one, but it had such a light fun vibe to it it's endlessly rewatchable.

The idea for the Movie came from Brent Maddock and SS Wilson whom were in the Navy. While sitting on a boulder taking notes in a Nevada Test Site 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.

In a sea of reaction channels, your reactions are priceless. You were born for this.

Good direction, charismatic actors, great special effects. This movie got everything. Rhonda is the best character by far. I loved your reaction.

I love how much you loved Rhonda! She is such a badass and no one talks about it!! :)

Fun Fact: Michael Gross, who plays Burt Gummer, also played the father, Steven Keaton, on 80's sitcom Family Ties.

May I just say that of all the reaction videos on the web....yours are the most enjoyable to watch! You seem to always understand what is going on, you show all of the right scenes, and you are funny as hell! Keep doing what you're doing!

I’ve watched this movie a thousand times and never once did I think about the lady being buried alive in the gobbled up car and now it’s ALL I can think about!😫😝!!!!!!!!!!

I'm like 6 months late, BUT...THIS WAS THE FIRST EVER HORROR MOVIE I EVER WATCHED! And it makes me so happy more people are finding it fun! 😊

Great reaction, I am definitely on your wavelength. My friends and I loved this movie so much in college that we had a toilet beer cooler. Sadly, Finn Carter's career never took off. Not sure why, because she crushes this role. She's had some issues later in life but I truly hope she overcomes everything and puts it all together again, on screen or off.

It's been great to see more and more people watching this movie. It was criminally underrated while I was growing up, but I still love it to this day. It's nice to see a creature feature where the humans aren't complete morons and actually work together to try and get out alive. It's a nice feeling to see people enjoying this as much as I do.

YES!!! This is a sci fi classic!! And not many people react to it!!

you deserve more views! i watch a lot of reactors and i think you've actually became my favorite! between your selection of great films to your great commentary and the way you notice details and appreciate movies! i really hope your channel continues to grow and wish you all the best love your stuff!

First time I'd ever seen this, when Melvin pulled that stunt with the tendril the first thing to come to mind was, "Kid, your parent's never beat you, did they?"

12:10 .375 Harrington & Harrington Magnum (more commonly called .375 H&H Magnum) is a caliber worthy of safari-grade big game. The bullet, itself, isn't all that huge (compared to, say, 50 BMG), but the cartridge packs a lot of powder and the round goes really fast. As we find out later, though, a scope is just a hindrance since it cuts off peripheral vision. Iron sights are all you need (which is in keeping with a safari rifle). 23:02 "That there's a beaut, man!" Talk about a safari rifle! That's a massive 8-gauge monster-slayer! That's .835 caliber or 21.2mm. Burt Gummer (played to "Perfection" by Michael Gross) uses poor technique while firing it, though. He's got severe "chicken-wing" going on, something you definitely don't want to do when firing an 8-gauge behemoth. 27:13 That stunt right there caused the stock on that super-expensive 8-gauge elephant gun to shatter. 28:22 You'da thunk Burt or Heather would have thought to toss some food and water into their supply satchel. 29:07 Most people who own cannons own them for celebratory purposes and/or historical reenactments. 31:49 I was 10 when this movie came out and I loved watching NatGeo documentaries. Still do, actually *^w^*

"Ya'll been yappin'." Gal, if the apocalypse happens, I want you on my team.

“Looks like a dirty ass piece of Laffy Taffy” I’m dead 💀💀

The tremors trilogy is probably one of my favorite horror trilogy, funny, unexpected and priceless. Hope you watch the others in the future

I love this movie, it's a blast. This one played at the theater I worked at. I always went in to watch the action scenes.

Very underrated movie. Loved your reaction.

Wow.... This reaction was very well put together. Felt like I watched the entire movie unedited!

The next three movies are worth watching as well. Michael Gross (Burt) is in all of them, and Fred Ward returns for the second one. The third one has Arianna Richards (Mindy) in a small role. Those two movies greatly expand the lore around the creatures. The fourth film is a prequel set in the old west with Burt's ancestor. After that, the sequels went downhill. They switched from practical effects to CGI, which I wouldn't have minded if it was done well, but it's not. Also, they changed the design of the creatures for no reason other than to make them look more menacing. Burt is the only returning character. There was a one season TV show on the SciFi Channel which also starred Gross, and Christopher Lloyd, and which branched out to include other creatures. In 2018, Kevin Bacon returned to film the pilot for a new Tremors TV show. Unfortunately it didn't get picked up and as far as I know, it's never been shown or released. It's the only Tremors project that Michael Gross wasn't in.

I love how your camera shakes when you get excited 👍 ☺️

"Her pupils are fully dilated " 🤣🤣🤣 You got me rollin

You have less than six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. Best. Leo.

What a fun reaction 😄 I remember seeing this in the theater, there weren't many people in the audience but we sure had a great time! All I know about Finn Carter (Rhonda) was that I recognized her from _As the World Turns_ because my mom used to watch that soap, and she was one of those people I'd see occasionally in bit parts on other TV shows. Have you seen _Apollo 13_ yet? If not, definitely add that one to your list, it's got Kevin Bacon along with Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, and Bill Paxton

Back in the day, my girlfriend kept bugging me and bugging me to rent this movie, and I kept blowing her off and renting other (almost entirely forgotten) flicks. Finally, she wore me down and I relented and got it...and it has been on my short-list of all-time favorite movies ever since. My great-nephew, who had of course never heard of it, was at my place one weekend and I plugged in the disc; and now he says that it is HIS favorite movie. One of the all-time greats.

Omg, I used to have nightmares about Tremors as a kid, lol.

The way you said “show us the beast” had me rolling. So glad you’re watching this, it’s truly a classic.

"Getting a little footloose" I can't lmaoooo!

This is definitly one of the better monster movies. Great ideas and characters and old fashion made monsters.

Glad you loved it. It's "technically" a horror but It's more of a comedy. Even Tremors 2 and 3 are as much fun.....after that...eehhhh lol. But its still a great movie. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon had such great chemistry in this movie.

After me and my friends watched this when we were kids. Burt Gummer was up there with Rambo and John Mclain in terms of action hero status.

The type of people that live in communities like perfection are not in trouble when it comes to emergencies. They are self reliant.

Even when I was a kid watching this for the first time, it was way more funny than scary.

I love the look on Earl's face every time Rhonda and Valentine are close. He knows, and he's just waiting for Valentine to get it.

Love watching reactions of someone who’s never seen this.

So glad you enjoyed this classic film that deserved way more than it got! Looking forward to seeing what you think of Tremors 2 Aftershocks

This is my new favorite reaction channel, omg I had to replay so many bits a couple times!

Mindy, the pogo stick girl was Ariana Richards, who portrayed Kathy in "Spaced Invaders" (1990) and Lex in "Jurassic Park" (1993) and "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (1997). She reprised her Mindy character in "Tremors 3: Back to Perfection" (2001).

Just started and this is one of my FAVORITE horror movies!

Tremors is one of those recurring family movies. You know the ones that if they're on we're all gonna watch it.

Great movie. I never get tired of watching it.

Thanks for posting this fabulous movie! When I saw it at the theater people applauded for Miss Reba at the end. lol

Tremors is my favorite horror series. I had so much fun watching you have so much with it. If you're up for it, I highly suggest watching the rest. The rest need to be watched in order except for the 4th one. I think you would like the 4th one best. It's a prequel that takes place in the old west.

I’m so happy you are watching this. Tremors is my all time fav franchise and I hope you watch the other six movies.

The choice of movies continues to be excellent!

I am all about Rhonda. She was most famous for a soap but she's in one of my favorite little known comedies, How I Got into College.

"Trapped in the car like Cujo." xD Seriously, though, very depressing book.

Val described himself. He fit the description of the woman he described. 😂😂😂

If you've seen it, Mindy the little girl, she was in Jurassic Park as well, as Hammond's Grand Daughter Lex

Rhonda was played by Finn Carter, who started off in soap operas but who ended up becoming a pretty ubiquitous character actor during the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. She managed to avoid the "only wives, girlfriends, and mothers" trap that a lot of B-list and C-list female actors fall into by way of being a very physically capable athlete who did her own stunts. (As a result, she fell into the "cops, government agents, and soldiers" trap. 😆). Ironically given how many cops she has played, she got involved with some people who were stealing credit card numbers and is now doing a stretch for grand larceny and receiving stolen property, which is why you don't see her around anymore.

This was so much fun to watch :D

I watched this movie as a kid on Telemundo so it was in Spanish. The channel used to play movies all the time. But this movie is a classic and I never get bored watching it :) your reactions were funny. 😂 I’m watching more of your videos. Glad I found this channel.

This film is such a fun ride. 👍

Victor Wong who played Walter the general store owner, was also in Big Trouble in Little China. He played Egg Shen.

Finn Carter (Rhonda) was on as the world turns for years. We enjoyed seeing her work in this movie

your channel and your reactions have been getting me THROUGH!!! thank you!! you are awesome!!!

Classic..... right up there with Mars Attack

I can't remember if I saw this in the theater or just rented it after it came out on VHS. Either way, it's definitely NOT something I would have thought my mother would have been interested in, but she wanted to see it for some reason. Maybe because we'd enjoyed Fred Ward in Remo Williams, five years earlier. At any rate , a good time was had by all. Your commentary cracks me up. My face hurts from smiling. This needs more likes.

Loved your comment about the craziest parade in Perfection 🥰😂. First time I ever heard a comment like that😂🥰😂. Great reaction!❤️❤️

19:20 does this building even have a real foundation lol had me rolling… so true

One of my favourite films. I’ve seen it loads of times and seeing this video is as close as I’ll get to seeing it for the first time, and that’s a gift.

You should start a Patreon and post full reactions

Damn you are just checking so many classic movies off the list! I love it!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you enjoy one of my all time favorite movies. My grandson and I watched it frequently while he was growing up. He ended up calling his bicycle Burt Gummer. You brought light to my evening watching this movie with you. I really enjoyed our date, still smiling. Thank you 💕

When I saw this as a kid with my dad I immediately went out to my sandbox in the backyard with my little green army men and replayed the whole movie there. Swear words included, my mother overheard me and that got my dad in trouble for showing me this movie. Didn’t stop him from watching Alien and Aliens with me though 😁.

This is my absolute favorite movie. I love, LOVE, this film.

Burt reminds me of my Grandpa. Taught me how to load and fire a rifle at the age of five, a civil war field mortar at ten...

A delight as always :)

People forget that Country Music legend Reba McEntire started her acting career in this movie… and legit she has one of the smallest, yet, significant roles in the film.

Such a fun, old-fashioned monster movie. I think most kids can handle this.

My best friend grew up in the area the movie is filmed. It is called Lone Pine. Very beautiful, but very very small.

"I miss Terminator." Lmao I love the way you did your hair, I think it's mad cute 😄

some movies just hit this magic balance of horror and hilarious.... TY so much for doing this!!! I am still trying to find your reactions to LEGEND and Dark Crystal. ♥♥ loving you chan, just found you today. Your reactions and facial expressions are just so terrific!!

27:15 like Sade said... "This...is..no ordinary slug.... no ordinary slug."

I thank the algorithms above for suggesting your videos to me.
