Well you need to watch it.

It's something.

Although Burt has a very nice gun room.

Sadly, I think Sci-Fi will edit the language.

.223 will NOT take out the tremor monsters. I think its a lesson for us all.

No, but I think my 8mm Mauser is up for the task.

Cult classic. Excellent movie.

After watching Tremors 1, make sure to rent Tremors 2 and Tremors 3.

Funniest shit ever. There's a Tremors for but I don't think I'll watch it because it goes back in time rather than forwards.

Hillarious shit.

one of my all time favorite movies

but you cant forget the 4th one too

Man! I can't believe the number of people who like it.

I've seen the first one many times, daughter has it on VHS. Thankfully I haven't seen it in years. If she doesn't own the other two then we've rented them several times.

Now they do have their moments, and the cast of the first one is the best, but I guess this is one cult classic series I just don't get.

So how'd you like it Zaphod?

it's a termors marathon.

Yeah, didn't forget it but I said quote "Tremors for", my dumb ass had a nice little typo there and I meant to say "FOUR". Could have just typed "4" but I must have been delusional last night when I posted.

I'm watching Tremors 3 right now on SciFi. The assblasters are by far the greatest.

I'm pissed the canceled the series. It was funny to see Burt's "wall of guns" with a bunch of missing silouette tracings on the wall where guns are supposed to be but he hadn't replaced them yet from having blown up his bunker in the 3rd movie.

Hated that in the 3rd movie he was reduced down to a Mini-14 in a bullpup stock.

Not a bad flick. Enjoyable, but that's about it....

What gun does Michael Gross use in Tremors?

Are you looking for a particular weapon, or shall we start a 10 page thread?

Michael Gross uses an obscene amount of different weapons, as does his "wife" Reba McEntire. It is one of the greatest scenes of all time. Wasnt expecting her to fire a flare gun at it though...

FYI the biggie is a .700NE elephant gun.

That movie and its sequel are good for a few laughs.

That's the 4th one, it's not all that good. Not bad but it's seriously lacking.

In the 2nd one Burt shoots an LAR Grizzly 50BMG at a shrieker(watch to find out what they are) and the results are quite funny, from the muzzle blast blowing out a glass window a few feet away from the muzzle to the effects down range.

Funny enough, the window blowing out is something I relived some weeks back when shooting my ALS 50BMG off the hood of my truck. Damn muzzle blast was so bad it cracked the windshield even though the muzzle was a good 5+ feet away from the windshield, cracked the hell out of it.

Tremors and Aftershock were great, Back to Perfection was relatively bad(the addition of CGI graboids instead of just shriekers), the 4th one I didnt even bother watching after I saw the cover of the movie in a video store in Kalifornistan.

1&2 rank as a couple of my favorite movies.

Burt cant be a real gun nut as his reloading bench is too clean!

I mean seriously, if your bench is not piled high with boxes of hornady, speer, sierra, and nosler bullets and die boxes as well as other reloading crap, how can you call yourself a gun nut? There should be ziplock baggies full of brass all over the place.

that fact that it's over .50cal makes it a DD correct?

Favorite Burt Quotes:

-It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
-I am completely out of ammo! *pause* That's never happened to me before.
-3 pounds of C-4 may be a bit.......... excessive.
-Did you know she blames our divorce on the collapse of the Soviet Union?
-The Mexican government said you could have anything you wanted and you get one case of C-4?!?!

Definatly a movie for gun nuts!
