Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Graboids were nicknamed 'Land Sharks' during production, and the effects team built 4 full-scale animatronic worms that kept breaking in the desert heat.
Tremors invented the 'creature feature comedy' template that Sharknado would later run into the ground. Burt Gummer became such a fan favorite that Michael Gross returned for six sequels and a TV series.
