You guys got a little confused. Water made new ones appear immediately. It was the food after midnight that caused them to go into a cocoon and turn into gremlins. Since it was a gremlin that jumped into the pool, he produced a lot of new gremlins is a short amount of time.

11:15 - 11:24 The original script was suppose to be MUCH darker. Initially, Billy's Mom was decapitated by the Gremlins, Barney (the dog) was going to be eaten by them, and Gizmo would turn evil and become Stripe. Thank god they didn't go ahead with those changes as it would've been an entirely different movie....😱

I remember seeing this when I was 10. It was me, my cousin, and my godmother's two daughters. We all loved it. But little did we know, that are moms that were sitting a couple rows back from us, spent the entire movie with their heads in their purses. They were scared shitless. Lol

You have to watch Gremlins 2 now! While being a sequel, it is also being a spoof of the first movie with tounge in cheek humour, self reference, and everything dialed up to 11!

The budget was $11 million, and box office was $213 million. "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" (1990) is a very fun film, too.🏆

I was 10 when this came out and my favorite scene was the chair lift death. Some cameras had a flash you had to buy and replace (usually a square cube that would rotate so you had 4 flashes before needing to replace).

19:30 No, he was mourning all his boys being dead.

i watched this film for the first time 10years ago when i was 12 with my brother and niece. My brother used to bring movies in his laptop for me everytime he returned to home during his semester break

Gremlins was pretty mainstream popular back in the day. It had toys, a cartoon, an NES game, and two sequels. Not what I would consider a "cult classic."

The mom is a BADASS, she has the highest gremlin bodycount in both movies.

For the record a lot of the films you mentioned including this one came out with a 15 cert in the UK. Nowadays those same films would probably be a 12A in the UK .

Corey Feldman also starred in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter in 1984. Both Judge Reinhold and Jonathan Banks starred in Beverly Hills Cop also in 1984.

Fun fact : in the very early yrs of Bug's Buuny , he meets a Gremlin hamering away at a bomb. And the Gremlin says that he's gonna blow up the planet. These Bug's Bunny cartoons came out during WW2. That's why Gremlins is mentioned during WW2. Another thing is the script was more of a horror movie. It was never intended to be a family movie. The mothers head gets chopped off , many town folk die etc.

Jaby, don't question the powers of the Barbie Corvette!!😂

Fun fact: Jackie Joseph (Mrs. Gutterman) was the voice actress who played Melody, the blond dumb group member of Josie & The Pussycats.

Dude! Keys Luke doesn't have a 'crazy exaggerated Asian accent' because that's his NATURAL accent. The reason that kids could watch movies like Gremlins was that it was made at a time when we didn't burst into tears as soon as someone spoke too loud, like 'ADULTS' do today.

The mom has the best kills not just this movie just the best kills

We Gen X were built different, we weren't easily offended or scared ;-) You should see some of the animated movies we watched as small kids, they were just as dark (Watership Down, Secret of Nimh, Dot and the Kangaroo, The Black Cauldron, Fire & Ice, The Last Unicorn and more)

Proud Gen X here, this was our Sunday afternoon movietime. Phoebe Cates was the heartthrob of the 80s.

Gremlins, The Goonies, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Young Sherlock Holmes. Spielberg defined my childhood 😊 Only Temple of Doom gave me nightmares.

Great reaction, you guys I’m sorry that you were so traumatised. When this movie came out, it wasn’t a kids movie. It was just a movie. I guess we were just made a little bit tougher back in the day. 😁❤️

6:40 Its funny that you say Furby Because the Mogwai is what furby was inspired by They also made Furby Gizmo

It's funny that you mentioned the kid in the Christmas tree suit had a mouth on him as he plays a character called mouth in another fantastic movie the goonies.

I saw this in the theater. It was marketed as a cute movie. I remember my mother sitting in the lobby with a bunch of freaked out little kids. There were a bunch of mad moms. This movie was one that got PG13 created as a rating.

There is no resisting the allure of 80s Phoebe Cates. I saw this when it came out (near enough), and I'm pretty sure the Gremlins films (and The Breakfast Club) heavily informed my taste in women. Ironically, I did not see her saucier films until I was much more age-appropriate, lol.

18:19 - *_Yup! And if you want another "Horror Film for Kids" from the 80's, I highly recommend: The Gate (1987). Lower budget (Indy film) but still GREAT practical affects!_*

Also, the guy that plays Mr. Wing, Keye Luke, is a founding member of the Screen Actor Guild.

$200 in 1984 is equal to $600 now. Also, the "town" they used is in fact, the Universal backlot, and it's the same town square they used for Back To The Future. Howie Mandel is also the voice of Gizmo.

This movie shocked everyone in 1984 and in fact caused an uproar among parents. Also I heard “mogwai” means “little demon” in Chinese.

Gremlins and Temple of Doom (Indiana Jones) were most of the reason they invented PG-13. It's funny that so many reactors say, 'This is PG?' People said the same thing back then.

When we first watched this movie, my brother and I loved it. My brother even had my mom make him a Mogwai costume for Halloween, the mask drove my dog nuts he would bark and bark constantly when my brother would put it on.

I was already 12 when this movie came out, so I was kind of too old by then to feel traumatized by Gremlins. War of the Gargantuas, on the other hand, I saw when I was four; and I still have nightmares about it to this day.

I have to tell everyone that Mushroom (the dog) thought Gizmo was a real, living animal because of its animatronics, so he took a liking to Gizmo and wouldn’t leave his side. That becomes cute when you see the dog lying next to Gizmo in the scene when Billy shows his father the new ones after they multiplied.

Y'all should DEFINITELY watch the sequel!! It is more of a comedy/satire, but still good! And 'Ravenous', 1999 b6 Antonia Bird!! That's a horror comedy too that I'm sure you will love! Its woefully underrated and under watched!

When I first saw this as a little kidI was fascinated by Gizmo and the Gremlins and had fun seeing them get crazy. I guess getting introduced to fantasy and sci-fi at an early age will do that to you. But I also took it as a caution tale because I thought they were real too.

Feeding them after midnight has always puzzled me. Sure, you don't feed them after midnight...but when is it okay to start feeding them again? They have to eat sometime, right?? If you're going by just the after midnight rule, technically, it's always after midnight.😉

You absolutely have to see Gremlins 2!!! Also, this is one of the movies that helped usher in PG-13, if I remember correctly.

This came out when I was 6.I had a couple Gremlins shirts, one even had a pic on the back of a backpack with Gizmos head poking out. Also had a set of books and records that Hardees (or it could've been Burger King) gave out with their kids meals when this came out. 80's were a great time for movies

this movie was actually the reason for creation of PG-13. Spielberg kept pushing the line with Jaws, Indiana Jones and Gremlins until it was too much 😅

Notice the mom and Gizmo are taken out of most of the movie? That's because the mom was supposed to die around that kitchen part. And Gizmo was supposed to be the real villain. But they felt Gizmo was too cute so they tried to find another use for him. This and TEMPLE OF DOOM were the two main movies that started the discussion of a PG-13 rating. And I think the first PG-13 movie was RED DAWN later that year.

They really tried to cut pheopes christmas speech the director and Billy fought hard to keep it in cause with out it her character means nothing she's just a rd side kick but her speech did so much for pheobes career

Contrary to Twitter and other agenda driven platforms, their actually were tons of good female protagonists in movies for decades before 2015. Now, they were realistic and didn't do stupud stuff like beat up guys twice their size, but they were well written and competent.

People tend to forget that the PG rating for movies meant "Parental Guidance Suggested". But, because too many parents just dumped their kids off at the mall, or the movie theater, the MPAA came up with PG-13 and NC-17. As for "Gremlins 2", personally I didn't care for it. For one thing, they took the girl's story about Christmas, and turned it into a joke. It's like the studio decided they needed a sequel, but didn't have a viable story. "But, let's do it anyway."

Back then, parents like mine didn't look at or care about movie ratings, like PG or R. Cable boxes didn't even have parental controls. My parents would actually take us kids to R-rated movies that they wanted to watch. So to me, as a young child, this movie was just pure fun and is nastlagic on rewatches today. Plus, these parental ratings are like, "Do as I say, not as I do," hypocritical. Like, why are parents watching stuff that they don't think their kids should be watching? If you really think something is so bad, maybe you shouldn't be watching it either.

Nice reaction - the ppl we like or dislike here are mostly showing good and bad qualities of kids, and Gizmo and the Gremlins amplify this several degrees, and show the chaos that would ensue in society if this tendency were let loose - but one thing that's really clever is how they're able to make us identify w the Gremlins even at their worst - they're our own Id, and they're often doing things that we ourselves want to see happen, esp their treatment of the characters we dislike (Monkey Shines is a movie that explores this)

What's interesting is I remember a time maybe around the mid 90's to early 2000's there was talk about kids being desensitized to violence because a lot of us grew up on movies like these, but it looks like things shifted because the new generation is honestly a bunch of wussies, look at all the reactions to movies we grew up on and they are always so shocked. Movies like this didn't traumatize us, sure there were a handful that couldn't take it, but the majority of us were just fine, I watched everything from G to R, I watched RoboCop when I was in kindergarten for example and I'm perfectly fine no mental issues whatsoever because even back then I knew the difference between reality and fantasy, they were stories I enjoyed watching even if I didn't totally understand what was going on I knew enough to not take it too seriously.

"Compliments to the director for not giving that Asian guy a crazy thick Asian accent." It worked for Pat Morita. It depends on what you're going for.

The style of Director Joe Dante was more influenced by cartoons than it was by film. So I kind of laughed when you said that gong at the beginning was cheesy and I thought, 'They don't know Joe Dante very well.' A film of his I always enjoyed more than this, which has only had two reactors react to it on the whole of KZread, is Innerspace (1987). A film that flopped because it was badly marketed, not because it was a bad film. It stars Martin Short, Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. From the writer of The Lost Boys and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and exec produced by Steven Spielberg (just like this film). Do I need to plug it further? Okay, Ashleigh Burton's reaction to it brought in 69k views. Her reaction to Avengers: Endgame only brought in 45k views, over a longer period. You do the math.

Gizmo doesn't age. Also Gizmo is the .00001% of Mogwai that turn out good the rest are evil. The reason the others are trying to kill him also why there aren't many good Mogwai.

Pretty sure there is some form of genetic memory passed down when they 'reproduce'. The offspring always seem to know what the original knows. Also, it looks like Mogwai are troublemakers and Gizmo is the exception, because even his offspring were problems.

i dont know if this has already been explained as im late to the party, but this isnt intended to be a kids movie. Its a horror-comedy movie that wasnt graphic enough to constitute an R-rating released in a time when PG-13 did not exist as you said so it simply fell into PG. And infact PG-13 was created as a response to this movie alongside The Temple of Doom.
