After hunting down shriekers (graboids with legs -- graboids are the giant worms) around the world, Bert (Michael Gross) finally returns home to Perfection, Nevada. He won't forget the past though and cement blocks his entire property along with collection of rifles and a barbed wire fence. The townsfolk think he is being paranoid since they killed all the graboids. But when Desert Jack (Shawn Christian) takes unsuspecting tourists on a fake graboid safari and comes face to face with one, they all turn to Bert to save the day once again.
This time, however, they get the government involved. They say that no one is allowed to hunt the graboids since they are on the endangered species list. Instead they want to trap one and take it back to study it. Bert, annoyed, goes back to his house where he is followed by an albino graboid, later named El Blanco. Since the graboid doesn't pass Bert's property line, he is unable to kill it. Bert and Jack start working with the government to try and trap one of the graboids, but when Bert is swallowed whole plans change. Jack leads the graboid back to Bert's house, where the creature runs head on to the cement block, killing it. Jack then digs up the body and, by using a chainsaw, cuts Bert out of the graboid. Bert seems little disheveled (more like butt hurt) and tell them they will never speak of this moment again.
Later, they realize that the graboids have spawned the shriekers, who have killed the government officials. The townspeople (original cast minus Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and Reba McEntire) manage to kill another graboid before they turn their attention to the shriekers. Little did they know, the shriekers evolved into what they called ass-blasters. You guessed right. Ass-blasters have the same heat sensor and legs that the shriekers have, but they also have gliding wings and manage to take flight by blasting off with their rear end gases.
Tremors movies have a ridiculous plot, with terrible special effects, and acting that isn't much better. But that doesn't mean I don't get sucked in to them every time. I love seeing how over the top these creatures get and trying to figure out how to kill them. Plus with crazy, red neck Bert leading the pack this time makes for an even more insane adventure. Loved that they brought back most of the original cast and that it takes place back in Perfection Valley. The ass-blasters looked amazing. Think of graboids mixed with the birds from Birdemic. Now this is a bad movie that is awesome! I just really want to have a Tremors marathon.
