When you think of quotable movies from the 90s you generally go the Jim Carrey or perhaps Adam Sandler route. All of us know lines from movies like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, Billy Madison, and Happy Gilmore. However, before all of these movies came out, in 1990 there was a memorable little film called Tremors which starred Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward. They played these two crazy southern guys who wind up taking on an alien species that lay underneath the ground wreaking havoc on a small town. Here’s the full synopsis:
Repairmen Val McKee (Kevin Bacon) and Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) are tired of their dull lives in the small desert town of Perfection, Nev. But just as the two try to skip town, they happen upon a series of mysterious deaths and a concerned seismologist (Finn Carter) studying unnatural readings below the ground. With the help of an eccentric couple (Reba McEntire, Michael Gross), the group fights for survival against giant, worm-like monsters hungry for human flesh.
The movie was surprisingly entertaining. And now that I look back, extremely quotable. Honestly this movie is part horror, adventure, and comedy all wrapped up into one. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend watching it. And if you have seen it, watch it again. Here’s a video of some of the most classic quotes from the movie and believe me, you won’t be disappointed.
