> [@Tangent](#): > > I think that line is _supposed_ to sound awkward. Swearing doesn’t come naturally to Rhonda, so her word choice/phrasing is a little odd. It’s in keeping with her character and I like the line just the way it is. 🙂 Having just finished watching Tremors for probably the 20th time, so I could pay special notice to her line, I agree with you. . ---

Y’know, thinking about it just now, **Tremors** is really a perfect little movie. I wouldn’t change a thing about it. …and the only thing I’d change about **Tremors 2** is I’d add Kevin Bacon. ---

I think goddamn bastards works perfectly. I love that line. Tremors really is a nearly perfect movie except for that one weird ass plot device where the heroes are prevented from driving to safety, and to get help, by a tiny little rockslide. On a desert road. There wasn’t even a ditch by the roadside, just a flat desert, they could have driven around without even hitting the brakes. ---

On a desert road. There wasn’t even a ditch by the roadside, just a flat desert, they could have driven around without even hitting the brakes. It’s even more outrageous if you happen to know the area where it was filmed, but we don’t care-- its just another delightful bit of Monster Movie silliness. . ---
