Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Earl's last name?

Answer: Basset

Fred Ward played Earl Basset and Kevin Bacon played Val McGee. Victor Wong played Walter Chang and Michael Gross played Burt Gummer. Earl and Val were handymen who were hoping to move to Bixby, but were stopped by a road block caused by Graboids.

2. Who climbed up a hydro tower to get away from a Graboid?

Answer: Edgar Deems

When Earl and Val were travelling down the road, they spotted a dead Edgar sitting on top of a hydro tower. Carmine was killed by a Graboid, when the cord from his jackhammer wrapped around his leg and he was dragged off.

3. What device did the Perfection inhabitants use to detect Graboids?

Answer: Seismograph

Rhonda came to Perfection to plant seismographs around, and asked Earl and Val about drilling and blasting. There was no drilling or blasting going on, just Graboids moving through the ground. Jim the doctor had his generator eaten by a Graboid and spat out again.

4. What type of vehicle did Miguel use to distract the Graboids?

Answer: Garden Tractor

Miguel tied a handkercheif around a lever on an ATV and sent it off, so that Earl could get to the bulldozer and bring it over to Walter's store. Before Earl could go though, Val jumped off before him and ran for it instead.

5. Who had the home made bombs that the Perfection inhabitants used to kill Graboids?

Answer: Burt

Burt and Heather made small plastic bombs filled with gunpowder to kill the Graboids. In Tremors 2 and 3, Burt used a remote control truck with some kind of explosive on the back to kill them instead.

6. What was Mindy's favourite toy?

Answer: Pogo stick

Mindy almost got killed because of her Pogo stick, when the Graboid heard the noise. If it hadn't been for Val she would have been eaten. They were all shouting at her to stop jumping on the pogo stick, but she had her headphones on and couldn't hear. Val ran over and pulled her away. Melvin's favourite toy was a basketball.

7. What happened to Nestor?

Answer: He died

Nestor was Melvin and Mindy's dad and Nancy's husband. He got on his trailer near the beginning, but was knocked off and eaten.

8. What blocked Walter's radio from sending signals outside the valley?

Answer: Mountains

Walter could not call for help in Bixby, because his radio wouldn't reach outside the valley due to mountains. They couldn't do anything about it, so they had to kill the Graboids themselves.

9. Melvin got a gun.

Answer: True

Melvin received a gun from Burt, because he was scared to leave the bulldozer and run to the rocks. He ran but when he tried to shoot the gun, he realised it wasn't loaded. Burt then laughed at him and took it back.

10. What smelt worse, live Graboids or dead ones?

Answer: Live

When the Graboid that was chasing Val and Earl ran into the concrete wall and died, Val said it smelt really bad. Then, when Earl, Val and Rhonda were stuck on the rock he said "the live ones smell worse then the dead ones."
Thank you for playing.
