Cannon Cruisers fans, JD and Randy are back with an all new Bonus Feature! This time, we're talking about Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996), the Western comedy horror sequel to the cult hit Tremors. Directed by S.S. Wilson, it stars Fred Ward, Christopher Garten, Michael Gross, and Helen Shaver.
In Aftershocks, Earl Bassett (Ward) returns to hunt Graboids terrorizing a Mexican oil plantation. But these creatures have evolved into something far worse. The film mixes humor, action, and unexpected twists, building on the original without simply copying it.
We’ll dive into the film's strengths, like its character dynamics and practical creature effects, as well as its weaknesses, like the 1990s CGI limitations. Despite being a straight-to-video release, Tremors 2 holds up against theatrical releases and proves itself a worthy sequel.
Tune in for our take on this unexpected gem, and let us know what you think. Until next time, keep cruising with the Cannon Cruisers!
