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

Product Description
They're back! The giant underground creatures that terrorized a desert town in Tremors are now plowing their way through Mexican oil fields, gobbling up everything and everyone around-and only one man can stop them! In the style of its predecessor, this comedy sci-fi creature feature reunites Fred Ward as down-on-his-luck Earl Basset and Michael Gross as gung-ho survivalist Burt Gummer, two desert desperados who take on the task of destroying the monsters. Partnered with them is Christopher Gartin, a young guy in need of kicks, cash, and a career change, and Helen Shaver, a sexy and intrepid scientist who's seen it all…until now. Together they devise an ingenious plan for tracking and killing the creatures. Tremors 2 is filled with high-speed action and plenty of laughs-until the predators wise up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sequel., October 19, 1999

By	The No Evil Killer "Know No Evil" (Everywhere, Anywhere, Nowhere) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Tremors 2: Aftershocks (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-See Sequel, June 30, 2000

By	iansomniak (USA, Planet Earth) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tremors 2: Aftershocks (DVD)

Years after their first appearance in Perfection, Nevada, those nasty worm monsters have reared their ugly heads in Mexico. So the Mexican authorities call on famed Graboid killer, Earl Bassett (Fred Ward), for help. Joining Earl this time is a goofy Graboid groupie by the name of Grady Hoover (Christopher Gartin). Grady refuses to take the life-and-death nature of Graboid hunting seriously, until he witnesses the awesome power of the ravenous creatures for himself. When Earl and Grady learn of the true magnitude of this new Graboid infestation, Earl enlists the aid of his indomitable survivalist friend, Burt Gummer (Michael Gross...who nearly steals the movie) -- a one man army who comes equipped with enough guns and explosives to destroy the whole country. But the Graboids are getting smarter, meaner, and uglier... This direct-to-video sequel may not be quite as good as the original, but it's pretty close. It is a tad on the silly side, and Kevin Bacon and Reba MacEntire are missing from the cast, but Tremors 2 still has that unique mix of thrills and laughs (and plenty of orange slime!) that made the first film so entertaining. The DVD is short on extras (just the standard trailer and production notes), but this disc deserves a place on your video shelf right beside its predecessor.
