From Amazon.com: When a remote Mexican oilfield comes down with a nasty case of Graboids (for the uninitiated: giant carnivorous worms with tunneling abilities that put Bugs Bunny to shame), it's up to those veteran monster exterminators Burt and Earl (Michael Gross and the wonderful Fred Ward, reprising their roles from the first film) to save the day--and accumulate some much-needed payola in the process. But this time, the slimy critters may have a few new tricks up their...um, sleeves. Although denied a chance to appear in theaters, this unjustly neglected sequel delivers the same winning mixture of cornpone and gore that made the original Tremors a cult classic. A hoot-and-a-half for horror and SF fans, with some genuine scares and a welcome sense of humor. --Andrew Wright
a sequel thats good, but no Kevin Bacon: Bacon bits didnt do this one. it lags in a few spots then its great when they transform into the next stage. Fred Ward and Michael Geoss reprise theire roles. Gross goes all out in this one and the explosion at the end is great.a must see for fans of the first one
Worst Tremors Movie Ever.: Lets see, where to begin on this disasterpiece? For one thing, the acting on this film is pretty bad and seems to reek of B-Movieness. Actually, now that I think of it, everything in this movie is pretty average, except there is one thing in this movie that is extremely stupid/annoying: The way the tremors look, act, and move. In case any of you that are reading this haven't seen the movie, I will now describe what the tremors look like. They are short, stupid-looking creatures that looked like they couldn't hurt anyone, let alone kill them. This movie was completely unrealistic and I just couldn't see why anyone would be afraid of those things. It's the film-makers job to make the creatures look scary, but they've obviously failed in that aspect. I know this really doesn't sound like very big of a deal, but the whole movie was just ruined for me because of this.
Return of the Graboids: I watched a number of movies this past weekend. Among them was Tremors 2: Aftershocks. Fred Ward and Michael Gross are back together but Kevin Bacon is absent. The graboids are back and terrorizing Mexico. Fred is hired to hunt them down. For fifty thou per dead worm Fred can't turn them down. Things go pretty smoothly at first but graboids can get smart pretty quick. After the elimination of most of the worms something new happens and the next thing you know it's a whole new ball game and Fred and company will be hard pressed just to survive. If you enjoyed the first movie you will probably like this one. The worm effects are not quite as good (the tongues aren't right) but the original mix of humor and horror is back. Fred even has a new sidekick in Christopher Gartin who has a tendency to look like Kevin Bacon at times. This video (and a lot of others) is available at the Hyde Park Video Good Guys located on 55th near the Shoreland.
Light-hearted, silly fun: The Graboids are back and this time their terrorising a Mexican oil refinery. Depressed and bored with the fact that he was the only one who didn't make money from his experiences in the first film, Earl Bassett quits his ostrich farm in Nevada and heads south to stomp out the Graboids with the help of new recruit Grady Hoover. When they get there however, they discover that the Graboid is only the first stage in the creature's development and soon they are facing something much more dangerous. Burt Gummer comes to the rescue with a truckload of guns and explosives. Cue lots of blowing up and loads of Graboid guts. Tremors 2 has a silly, sarcastic sense of humor and a fast pace. There's not one minute of boredom and Fred Ward plays the cantankerous, irritable Earl very well. You'll hardly be missing Kevin Bacon. The DVD presents the film in a sadly non-anamorphic 1.78:1 transfer. The picture is passable but is not impressive. The sound is Dolby 2.0 and it's no more than average with decent spaciousness and fidelity. A trailer is also included.
An Okey squel: The squel to the orginal lower death count but still a good game. Earl is called by some mexican to eleimnated some grab boids that hve have killed some workers. Aparently the did not kill all of them in the first one. Unlike the firts tremors the ending was not altered. The ending you she on Tremors when Grady kis the hot college student was not the original endeding. At one of the thetherical showings of the movie near the end of the film some people in the theather started chanted kiss her out loud. So they they went back and redited the ending and changed it. Tremors two I think was supposed to be a gremlins rip of. The Graboids metamorphise into these small vicious creatures. The citizens of perfection name shriekers. Due to the loud scream they produce before they charge. The shrieker like the graboids has no eyes or ears. It has a heat seeker withc detects the heat from living animals. So it;s a rip of the predator series as well. Earl Basod returns so do Burt. Burt is in all of the Tremors movies with the exception of Tremors 4. If you like This she tremonrs 1 3 and 4. I also recomend seeing the Dune series which I thinnk tremors is based on.
