* RealityEnsues:
** We learn in-between movies that Burt and Travis had a falling out professionally due to their conflicting styles and quirks, which has affected their personal relationship a bit.
*** Plus, though the two of them did have their Africa expedition to bond over, as anyone who had an estranged parent could say, it's not ''easy'' to bond with an absentee parental figure, and certainly not when both parties are as old and set in their way as Burt and Travis.
** Likewise, being a Monster Hunter is no excuse for being behind on your taxes, and Uncle Sam is trying to collect them.
** Just because you get an antidote doesn't automatically mean that you're going to make it. Due to whatever unknown damage his body has been through, there was a good chance that Burt wouldn't have pulled through. In fact, he might still have to deal with the damage, as anyone who has survived a deadly sickness or health issue can testify to.
** Just because monster hunting can produce a good short-term profit, that doesn't mean it's a sustainable long-term business. Even just the costs of replacing ammo and supplies eats into your profit margin a lot. Add in that Burt has been established as not very business savvy (because he's a CrazySurvivalist), to say nothing of how many times he's had his home, vehicle, and/or property destroyed mid-movie, and it's no wonder Burt's in such dire financial straits as the film begins.
** As heartbreaking as it is to see Perfection completely empty other than Burt and Travis, it makes sense. Perfection was a ghost town to begin with; it had no desirable features to attract new settlers to it, and in fact the residents actively resisted efforts to make it more commercially appealing. But that meant the population (those who weren't eaten by graboids or Mixmaster mutants, anyway) had no prospects, and ultimately forced to move away to work, study, or just have a life. Plus, living with killer monsters in your backyard is extremely stressful (not to mention financially disastrous if you're trying to run a livestock farm), which would be further incentive to leave.

The graboid did spit up part of something and it sounded like it had burped. It qualifies for both

* BadBoss: While not a villain, per say, Cutts (the DARPA Leader) doesn't help his men when they get attacked by the graboids. Partially justified as he probably doesn't know all that much about the creatures, but when one of his goons gets grabbed, Burt, who hates government types, attempted to rescue the goon while Cutts just hangs back and watches. It failed, but the effort counts.

* SaveTheVillain: While not a villain per say, unless you count government agents as villains, when Cutts is trapped on a container during the graboid attack, Travis goes and saves him - for a fee of course, in that Travis and Burt will never have to pay taxes again, ever. Cutts agrees to this. He even keeps his word, and gives Travis and Burt the necessary paperwork exempting them from having to pay State and Federal taxes.
