Tremors 2 – Die Rückkehr der Raketenwürmer (Video 1996)

Tremors 2 – Die Rückkehr der Raketenwürmer: Directed by S.S. Wilson. With Fred Ward, Chris Gartin, Helen Shaver, Michael Gross. Earl Bassett, now a washed-up ex-celebrity, is hired by a Mexican oil company to eradicate a Graboid epidemic that’s killing more people each day. However, the humans aren’t the only one with a new battle plan.

“The biggest problem with this movie is the leap of logic that gives birth to the second set of Graboids in this movie. Without that how can we enjoy the movie? Okay, okay … by the time the opening credits are done rolling we have given up on logic. This is a direct-to-video effort to a good b-movie. At that, itu0026#39;s not half bad.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFred Ward returns as Earl and brings along Michael Gross as Burt. Kevin Bacon and Reba MacIntyre are nowhere to be seen. When the worms resurface in Mexico, Graboid-fanboy Grady arrives to recruit the survivors of the first film. Earl and Burt pack up a truckload ou0026#39; guns and head south. There they meet up with some new characters and the u0026quot;secret originsu0026quot; of the Graboids.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow, Ward and Gross can carry a movie, and they carry this one. Michael Grossu0026#39;s Burt Gummer alone is reason enough to watch this movie. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enBut I think they diminish the effectiveness of the worms by having them so easy to kill. In Tremors, the citizens of Perfection spend the whole movie dealing with 4 of u0026#39;em. Here we get a safari scene where Earl and Grady kill off about 20 in about 10 minutes. Now that the worms are no longer a threat, itu0026#39;s time for the moviemakers to give us a bigger, badder Graboid. As the poster states, the worm has turned. What follows is a leap of logic and is (wisely, perhaps) left unexplained in this movie. I guess whatu0026#39;s really important is the action, the one-liners, the dopey sidekick, and the hot chick. Letu0026#39;s see … check, check, check, and … check! Okay, so see this movie if you like your cheese without the Bacon.”
