. I always wanted a 4 Bore to display with my big Brits of which .600 Nitro was the largest cartridge I had. Several of those in different loadings. Had many big Sharps and Winchesters also. One can dump some serious funds into cartridge collecting.

Thanks for the trip down movie memory lane

According to IMFDB, the elephant gun in that scene was an 8-gauge shotgun.

That is a great scene and brings back memories from watching Tremors in high school. Burt was my favorite character.

Today, I watch it an think 'ole Burt would've been better off with a rack full of HK91s, a matching number of handguns, and the elephant gun than a wall full of different manual of arms.

WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY!

Man, you would surely be one deaf MoFo after that! LoL

ARman

Can you still buy 8 gauge shotguns? The kind used for slag removal in power plants? I'm pretty sure I've got a shell in my cartridge collection. Guess I've gotta go check.

HA! That was great to watch again.

That movie's a classic. My mother, brother, and I used to watch it together on a regular basis. Brings back great memories.

Ive had a couple of those shells too. Had 1 8 gauge shot shell which was in rough shape. Knew a dealer years back who had a floor rack full of 8s and 10s, none of which he would sell. I did buy 2 SxSs in demascus and a Baker Batavia 12 from him. Also took home a mint 8 cavity bullet mold on handles. Never did cast with it.

I love that movie! I need to re watch those. At least the first three. Ive not bothered to watch the last three

Alex P. Keaton would be very proud of dad!

I was shaking my head when their first choice were bolt actions.

Classic! Still makes me laugh all these years later.

I like this long series of gags:

Pogo stick that stays vertical on its own until sucked straight down into the ground

Pogo stick getting shot up from the subsurface.

Bacon's one-man with a pickax attack.

The best is the sine wave of the boardwalk planks as they run toward the store's entrance.

My buddy's housemate in college was a production assistant on that film. He gave me the script for Christmas before the film came out. It was called Dead Silence at that time. I skimmed through it and kinda forgot about it.

About a year later, my girlfriend and I went to see Tremors. When it got to the scene of the dead guy on the electrical tower, I thought, "That seems familiar." When it got to that gun basement scene above, I leaned over to my girlfriend and exclaimed, "Oh, wait, this movie is Dead Silence!"

I saw that movie when I was a kid, and have wanted a walk in vault just like it ever since. That vault (no windows for me though) and a 1967 Mustang GT 500 have been on my bucket list ever since those early years. My wife and I are in the process of designing a new hone and I’m fixin’ to check one of those off the list!

Kinda want to paint it light blue in tribute to the film.

See my CUT

that was such a classic movie. And they are still making them. Tremors: A Cold Day In Hell - 2018 - "Tremors 6". Just as bad/good as the first!

I introduced my family to this movie recently. They know I like B movies, so it wasn't a surprise. And that line (wrong rec room) rates up there as one of the best movie lines ever!
