Burt Gummer

Personality:   Although very little is known about Burt's past, it is widely hinted that he was involved in the military, though the actual creators dispute about this[1]. In the Tremors TV Series, Burt went to Teluca in an episode to uncover a government conspiracy for the townsfolk to prove it was a Graboid problem, rather than an alien conspiracy that the government won't let them visit the "mothership", according to Rosie (The diner co-owner next to Red). Burt proceeded to go on about how he was all too familiar with cover-ups, which would lead one to believe he was involved, again, in the military. It's possible he was in a secret branch, and witnessed something he didn't like. What is known, however, is that during the cold war, Burt settled in Perfection, Nevada with his wife after checking several places that would fit their survivalist nature. He and Heather actually bought up the very land that Burt's great-grandfather had built his house on. This was all sometime before the Tremors movie series. It was later revealed in Tremors 4 that his ancestor Hiram Gummer, also played by Gross, settled in Rejection (Perfection's previous name), and married the local town-mistress. Stampede Entertainment's official website states that Hiram and his wife left in 1902 for San Francisco after a disagreement with Nevada bureaucrats over the date of the town's founding, and never returned. Hiram did leave Burt and his family with a large supply of silver bars which Burt has apparently been using to turn his home into a graboid proof fortress as well as acquiring weaponry which originally was for defense against the possibility of the Cold War heating up but now to fight against the Graboids. When Burt's house was destroyed in Tremors 3 it took out his weaponry stockpile as well as his stockpile of silver bars. Born into the Gummer family, Burt's home life remains unknown. What his relationship with his parents was like was never spoken about. Being an avid gun fan, one of Burt's childhood memories was converting his BB gun to full-auto. He would eventually go to a gun show in Florida in 1974. There, he met Jasmine Welker, who was burning her bra in the parking lot. The two of them got along and had sex that night. He left, never looking back; unknown to him, Burt had sired a child. The existence of this child would remain unknown to him for the next 40 years. Burt eventually married Heather Gummer, and settled down in Perfection, Nevada due to the geographic isolation providing protection. Burt never had to hold a job, thanks the numerous bars of silver left behind by his ancestor Hiram. They built a house with a built-in gun range, with a huge collection of guns. He kept numerous spare magazines of ammo inn the drawers underneath the gun-racks. Burt liked living in Perfection as Chang's Market didn't have a price scanner that could build records of his purchases. He also became good friends with the handymen Valentine "Val" McKee and Earl Bassett. In 1990, he hired them to work on the linoleum at his house when they had time. Tremors Burt is buying hollow-point bullets from Walter Chang, who ignores his complaints that they are not the Hydra-Shok hollow-points he requested. Val and Earl come in, and Val tells them about how Earl explained how to think ahead; they also ask for Rhonda LeBeck about any strange vibrations in the ground. Burt immediately tenses up at the idea that the government will "imminent domain" him out of his home; Heather comforts him. Earl laughs at him, saying Burt will have a heart-attack before World War 3. Val and Earl later return to Perfection, unknowingly bringing a Grabber on their tire axle. Examining the remains of the creature, Burt guesses that it could be a mutation of nature; however, he points out more than one of these had to be around to have killed Old Fred and his cattle. Burt starts relishing the danger, as the duo reveal that the creatures killed the road-workers and blocked the only road out of town. Once it's decided Val and Earl will try riding on horseback to Bixby, Burt and Heather head out to find Rhonda before she's killed by the creatures; they gift the duo with a better rifle and head off. 24 hours later, they return home, having failed to find Rhonda and annoyed that there is no sign of the creatures, not even droppings. They head to the basement and start re-filling their ammo. Burt calls Chang's Market on the radio, getting Val instead as Walter was killed by the creatures. Burt is informed that the monsters are coming from underground. One is drawn by the sound of their ammo refilling machine, and breaks into the room. Burt starts unloading ammo into the monster with Heather backing him up. Using an elephant gun, Burt blows a hole through it's head, claiming victory. They head to the roof, building bombs as Val calls on the radio. The plan is for the Gummers to go for help, but the plan is made moot when the creatures start tearing the town apart from the below and eat the tires on their cars. To Burt's surprise, the CAT is driven up to his home and he boards with plenty of ammo. "Goddamn. Armored transport." However, he is left annoyed that his survival tactics didn't count on underground attacks. The creatures later trap the CAT, forcing Burt to use bombs to scare them off. Upon trying to trick them into swallowing bombs, it only works once. The second causes the stockpile to explode once it spits the dynamite out. To Burt's surprise, Val manages to trick the last monster into head off a cliff. Burt later gives Val and Earl new tires for their truck.
