There is a lot of language throughout the movie but none that would give the film an R rating except the one val yells when he kills the first Graboid in the hollowed out road , But there are other times when they yell Motherhumper and their lips don't match their voice, Did they origialy use language and have to replace it with Cleaner dialoge?

Did anyone else notice this or have i gone crazy?

I always wondered why they said "Motherhumper". Sometimes when they shown on Sci-Fi they edit Bastard to "Big Jerk" and it looks silly. I think Tremors needed to be watered down in places seeing as there a lot of strange dubbing.

Here's the language in the PG-13 version:

Damn: 15 (counting deleted scenes)
Dammned: 1
Damn it: 9 (counting deleted scenes)
Hell: 33
Ass: 15
Pissed: 16 (counting deleted scenes)
Bastard: 5
Bitch: 12
Asshole: 4 (counting deleted scenes)
Shit: 16
Bullshit: 1
Fuck: 1
Fucker: 1 (deleted scene)
Motherfucker: 2 (as "motherhumper")
God: 1
God almighty: 1 (deleted scene)
Oh my God: 11
For God's Sake: 3
Good Lord: 2
Sexual innuendos: 5
Goddamn: 21 (counting deleted scenes)
Jesus: 7
Jesus Christ: 6
For Christ's sake: 3

and the original script:

Tremors (1990): (pretty rough for PG-13)

Darn it: 2 (counting deleted scenes)
Damn: 22 (counting deleted scenes)
Dammned: 1
Damn it: 10 (counting deleted scenes)
Hell: 52 (counting deleted scenes)
Ass: 23 (counting deleted scenes)
Screw you: 1 (counting deleted scenes)
Pissed: 16 (counting deleted scenes)
Bastard: 10 (counting deleted scenes)
Bitch: 14 (counting deleted scenes)
Asshole: 8 (counting deleted scenes)
Shit: 20 (counting deleted scenes)
Bullshit: 1
Fuck: 9 (counting deleted scenes)
Fucker: 1 (counting deleted scenes)
Motherfucker: 2 (said as that in deleted scenes, changed to Motherhumper)
God: 10 (counting deleted scenes)
God almighty: 1 (deleted scene)
Oh my God: 14 (counting deleted scenes)
For God's Sake: 3
Good Lord: 2
Sexual innuendos: 6
Goddamn: 28 (counting deleted scenes)
Jesus: 11 (counting deleted scenes)
Christ: 1 (counting deleted scenes)
Jesus Christ: 6
For Christ's sake: 4 (counting deleted scenes)

If your wondering, Earl says Fuck three times and Asshole twice in deleted scenes. Val also says Fuck five times. Melvin also was to say fuck three times. Melvin also was to say bastard once. Heather was also to say Jesus and Goddamnit once.

Never noticed the dubs, I'll be sure to look for it next time I watch the movie.

captbart: Hi, guys. Just an update .... I'm going in for surgery on March 1st. I don't know if folks still check the site as only a few of us still seem to show up except for a few spam posts. I'm thinking of some stuff to add to Burt's Weapons area when I'm done. Feb 25, 2024 11:36:26 GMT -5

captbart: Just an update: surgery was successful. I'm recovering at home - hurting some but finally off of the "GOOD" pain meds and doing OK on Tylenol. One more procedure on the 19th and then I should be OK for a while .... I hope. Mar 9, 2024 10:54:44 GMT -5

project412: Glad to hear that your surgery went well! Wishing you all the best on the 19th! Mar 11, 2024 18:12:25 GMT -5

captbart: Thanks, 412. Getting old (75 in May) can get tough. Docs just told me there was cancer so now I've got more tests and stuff. Mar 11, 2024 19:39:14 GMT -5

project412: Oh god, I am so sorry to hear that. How are you doing? Apr 4, 2024 12:17:58 GMT -5

captbart: 412, stressed, of course, but otherwise OK. Treatment board meets tomorrow and it's either chemo and then surgery or surgery and then chemo. 6 to 9 months of medicine and surgery and feeling weak and poorly. Better than dead but not looking forward to it. Apr 10, 2024 19:07:38 GMT -5

captbart: looks like 3 months of chemo followed by surgery. I'm going to be rather low geared for the next 4 months. Apr 11, 2024 18:13:24 GMT -5

project412: Trying to do my best to keep ahead of those bot/spam threads when I see them, locking them when I notice them pop up. Unfortunately I don't seem to have the mod ability to actually delete the threads, though. May 8, 2024 9:32:59 GMT -5

captbart: 413, yep, taking care of that kind of crap gets old in a hurry. I still check the board, I just wish we had more folks interested in the shows and board. Thanks for still keeping things going. May 9, 2024 12:29:25 GMT -5

oc: Hi guys! Time to time I check the board, but so far, I hadn't looked at the shoutbox, my bad. Fingers crossed for captbart that all goes well! I'm going to be mostly offline till August, but then I'm willing to help keeping bots/spam at bay, if I could. Jul 13, 2024 12:43:26 GMT -5

captbart: Guys, Thanks for the support. I've completed my chemo series - tests show cancer still growing and more doctor appointments tomorrow and friday. 412, I hate that the spam clowns have found us. hope to be posting again soon. Jul 17, 2024 13:11:59 GMT -5

Mr.ELBlanco: Hey guys, sorry I have not been super active lately - I actually temporarily couldn't remember me email password or this one for that matter. captbart I am sorry I just now read through your chemo process going on, I hope everything is going well for you. Oct 24, 2024 22:00:34 GMT -5

project412: Exciting news about Stampede regaining the rights to the original Tremors script! Even if nothing comes of it (though I would LOVE for something to come of it!), it's nice seeing the rights to a piece of the pie back with the original creators! Oct 29, 2024 9:35:29 GMT -5

project412: Hope that Tremors Fest 2 was a fun time, Mr.ElBlanco! Oct 29, 2024 9:35:48 GMT -5

project412: captbart, I continue to wish you all the best with everything going on right now! Oct 29, 2024 9:37:40 GMT -5

oc: Me too, fingers very much crossed. Oct 29, 2024 19:43:23 GMT -5

Mr.ELBlanco: That is exciting news. Currently I would really like to see a limited 8 episode wrap up of the tv show I think. Tremors Fest 2 was a blast! Lots of good memories made. Oct 29, 2024 21:00:58 GMT -5

oc: Congrats to you all there for a POTUS much less inclined to idiotically ban guns. If only we had somebody like that here... Nov 7, 2024 8:31:55 GMT -5

captbart: Folks, I'm between chemo infusions and this series seems to be producing better results. Nov 9, 2024 14:00:26 GMT -5

oc: Hope it would turn to best results soon. Godspeed! Nov 10, 2024 19:50:53 GMT -5
