Tremors 3: Back to Perfection

Is that the new guy?

Si, mi amiga. We are

completamente seguros here...

because I've selected

my position carefully.

First rule of engagement:

Know your enemy.

Second rule:

Know where to engage him.

Good you've kept

your engines running.

I want maximum heat emissions

from these coordinates.

Mucho caliente.

Comprende?

The time...

0500 hours.

The place... seven clicks

south of El Chaco.

The situation...

a single graboid reported

in the area two weeks ago.

Third appearance of these underground

carnivores in the last 11 years.

Unfortunately, lack of action

on the part of local authorities...

has allowed the creature

to metamorphose...

into the second stage

of its life cycle,

producing six shriekers...

a veracious,

hermaphroditic life-form,

which can double in number every few

minutes by eating sufficient food.

In this case, chickens.

Aye, dios mio!

A truckload of chickens.

Infrared monitoring now indicates

the shrieker herd...

moving across the pampas

toward us,

closing at less than

300 meters.

290... 280.

I've managed to lead the shrieker herd

away from civilian population.

My tactical approach is

utilize various maneuvers,

demonstrated by Sitting Bull

at Little Big Horn...

and Field Marshal Rommel during

the North Africa campaign.

The idea being to set up

a proper kill zone.

I should take this opportunity

to point out their zero tactical skills.

Lacking eyes or ears,

they can sense only heat and...

Patience, mi amigo.

Aye, dios!

Nothing to worry about,

because for once I have

the proper tool at hand.

Looking for a little heat?

Any questions?

Hey, Burt, welcome home.

We saw you on CNN

shooting that cannon thing.

Dual. 50 antiaircraft

turret mount.

Good to see you, Miguel.

What the hell is that?

Some real estate guys out of Reno. They

wanna cut up the valley into parcels.

- That'll be a cold day in hell.

- That's what I told 'em.

Hey, Burt,

while you were gone,

there was this conga line of cement

trucks going up to your place.

What the heck

you building up there?

I installed an underground

graboid barrier, my own design.

Big cement box, two-foot thick,

steel reinforced,

completely surrounding

my compound...

sides and bottom...

now I can sleep nights.

Come on, Burt.

What's it been, 11 years?

No reason to lower

your guard.

Burt, welcome home.

Put in a bar code reader?

Jodi, they can use that to build

a profile on all my purchases.

Burt, welcome home.

Yeah, welcome.

Next they'll want a sample of my DNA.

How you been?

Oh, I guess

I'm getting by.

Getting by? You're doing better

than your uncle ever did.

Hey, in retail, if you're not three

steps ahead, you're one step behind.

- You want your mail?

- Yeah, I guess.

"Perfection Valley

Ranchettes. "

Uh-huh. They've been making

offers to all of us.

- Shall I file it for you?

- Mm.

Hey, cool watch.

Hmm? Oh, gift

from the gauchos.

It continuously updates

its time to the nanosecond,

- Uh-huh.

- by connecting directly...

to the cesium clock in Colorado

via ultrasonic frequency.

Well above our normal range

of hearing, but it'll give a dog fits.

Right, right, right. So, were you able

to get me graboid or shrieker parts...

beaks, tentacles, claws?

Aren't you overdoing

all this a little?

Burt, this stuff

is our claim to fame.

China's got pandas.

Australia's got koalas.

And we've got... these,

even if they are

extinct here.

You trying to turn the valley

into a theme park?

It worked for your friends,

Earl and Grady.

I'm just fighting for my piece

of the leisure dollar.

But this...

this is your theme park

kind of guy.

"DesertJack's Graboid Adventure"?

Who the hell is this yahoo?

He moved in while you were gone,

started this business,

taking people out

on graboid safaris.

I don't believe this.

Oh, believe it, ladies and gentlemen.

Believe it.

This is no theme park

simulation here.

You are in the heart

of graboid country.

These savage

subterrestrials;

these death-dealing

denizens of dirt...

first appeared

about 11 years ago.

Yeah, you keep your eyes peeled,

your mind and body centered.

These thing can jump up

at any moment.

What the...

Just a jackrabbit, folks.

Just a jackrabbit.

Breathe and release.

There you go.

Yeah, these suckers,

I've seen one jump...

near 50 feet out of the ground

like a volcano.

Swallowed a semi-truck whole.

Now that's what I call roadkill.

I tell you, yes, friends, this whole

area is a major feeding ground.

Now, just over that ridge there

is where a simple shepherd...

named Old Fred

lost his herd of sheep.

Yeah, and everything else

from the neck down.

Now as I said, we're in the heart

of graboid country.

Right in the heart of it.

Whoa!

Looks like we have company, folks.

- Man.

- Is that a graboid?

Yeah, looks like it. Get back, son,

you're gonna lose a limb now.

Oh, God,

it'll get us all!

- It's flooded!

- Calm down, lady!

Has it spotted us yet?

I don't know. I can't tell.

But it's bigger than I've ever seen.

Look!

Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!

Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!

- Here it comes!

- Take control of yourself. Don't panic.

Keep goin'. Come on.

Movin'in!

Well, we'd better

get the hell out of Dodge!

Come on now.

We got it. It's called

divine intervention.

All right, just stick with Jack,

you're gonna make it back.

- That's one.

- Uh-oh, I think he picked up our scent.

- Thought they only hunt by sound.

- That's what I meant, sound.

Four!

All right, baby.

Been waitin' for you.

Come to Daddy.

Come on now,

hop on this here rock.

Here you go. Here you go.

Gimme your hand, darlin'. Come on.

Here you go.

All right. All right.

Hang on to your hat now.

Here's the rest of us.

We got everybody now?

Let's see here...

one, two, three, four, five.

All right, that's good. Well, I think

we just best wait it out a spell.

How long do you think

it will be?

Well, ma'am, time

is the eternal river.

I suggest we not

swim upstream.

Damn, it's hot out here.

Anybody up for

an ice-cold beer?

All right, I got three bucks

a bottle domestic,

4.50 imported.

Also, might I recommend

my fresh-fruit juices.

Monster Mango.

Graboid Grape.

And for a buck extra,

you can keep the souvenir glass.

Glows in the dark, right there.

Look at that.

Please enter access code...

or level one security program

will be activated in ten seconds.

Nine seconds, eight seconds,

seven seconds,

six seconds, five seconds.

DesertJack thanks you for your business.

I'd say we got pretty lucky out there today.

- Oh, absolutely.

- All we saw was dust.

That's all you wanna see,

believe me, son.

Y'all stay on the blacktop now till

you're clear out of the valley.

Tell your friends about us.

Whee!

Got to restock the cooler here.

Um, by the way, you didn't pay me

for that bag of ice this morning.

Well, yeah, well, you know,

I thought it was complimentary ice.

I'm in business here, Jack.

Yeah, so am I. I've been thinking you
