    I always felt sorry for Joe Dante. He released a decent werewolf movie with The Howling, only for John Landis to make the more successful American Werewolf in London the same year. He then made a brilliant horror comedy with Gremlins, which was overshadowed by Ghostbusters the same year. He then made a fairly decent movie about kid mistfits with Explorers, which was overshadowed by The Goonies the same year. He then goes on to make the excellent Innerspace, which was largely ignored as '87 had some amazing films such as Robocop, Princess Bride, Predator, The Lost Boys and Evil Dead 2. From then on, it felt like he gave up trying. It seems like Dante had such bad luck with his career.

    I've always assumed the employees clocked in and out with an old style time clock but everything else is so futuristic was due to Clamp wanting to appear futuristic but when you peel the curtain back it's just another building, or just another office. I always took the running line of "nothing ever works here" to support my theory; Clamp cares more about appearance than he cares about function.

      Other things he mentioned:
      1. Chris Columbus apparently wrote a "Gremlins 3" script, but if it gets made, probably won't be a Gremlins movie. It'll just be an unspecified Chris Columbus monster movie.
      2. If there was a "Gremlins 3," he doesn't think Joe Dante would be able to direct it because he's in his 70's and movie studios prefer younger directors. (My rebuttal to this was George Miller, who came back to direct "Mad Max: Fury Road" for Warner Brothers in his 70's.)
      3. His dream director for "Gremlins 3" is Edgar Wright.
      4. One of his favorite movies of the last few years is "Sicario."
      5. If there is a "Gremlins 3," he thinks Gizmo has to die in it, because of all the death, destruction, and chaos he's responsible for.

    When I was roughly about 5 or 6 there was a Gremlins ride at a WB themepark here in Australia. It essentially starts with you all in a cinema watching an old movie which then gets interrupted when the Gremlins ruin the film reel and you go on what is essentially like a ride out of the the cinema themed as an escape (at least that's what I remember).
    Looking back now, it probably would have been kind of awesome.
    Except for the fact I couldn't deal with Gremlins as a kid, I liked Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Aliens, but for some reason I just couldn't deal with Gremlins, they spooked the shit out of me. So naturally, my family decided to take me on this ride under the pretense of just going to watch a movie for the afternoon.
    That shit sticks with you.

When that part with the break happened -- we almost all pooped ourselves. When the shadows came up, i turned to look at the projectionist booth window and he had a giant grin on his face.

    I was 22 when this movie came out and I saw it in opening weekend. I was laughing so hard at it that my girlfriend at the time got angry with me because of how loud I was laughing and she felt I was drawing unneeded attention of the entire theater. I haven't seen this movie since then, but looking at the part with the beaker and words: Acid, don't throw in face. Just started me howling. It's was probably where one gag just built on another for me to the point where I would laugh at anything. My girlfriend really let me know of her displeasure with me at the part with Leonard Maltin where I just lost it at that point. I later realized the scene was pretty corny, but they threw so many gags one after another that I pretty much had difficulty thinking. What has kept me from watching it again is that later upon reflection of the movie I felt they just basically made a parody of the first movie and I felt it wasn't worth my time. Watching this review gives me a new appreciation for it so I'll probably look at it again.

That massive, non-stop mayhem of Gremlins attacking everyone around an hysterical Phoebe Cates is genuinely impressive, even by today standards.

    29:43 The film break scene always captured my interest. At the time I was reading the novelization and when this scene happens Brain Gremlin ties up the author and, briefly, takes over the book. Then, of course, the movie as released in theatres. BUT when Gremlins 2 came out on VHS that scene was different as well - where the gremlins take over the TV and switch around the channels. I believe the DVD restores that spot to how it was seen in the theatres (I kind of wish the VHS version was in the deleted scenes and not gone entirely).
    I was in middle school when this came out and it captured my imagination where depending on the media you were using, the scene changed. It's probably my favorite way of how they used multi-media.

      @@BestowTV Yeah I know. My family had Gremlins 2 VHS a long time ago & when I saw it on DVD I was very confused with the Hulk Hogan scene as I had never seen it before 😃 I have the special edition of the first one including extras with the white cover that has Gizmo on it with a shadow of Stripe. The first one is from 2002 & the second one from 2006

      We saw the movie the day it came out in theaters. That scene got us all. We're looking back to the projection booth to see what's going on. Then the Gremlin shadows come up and we all had a laugh. It was an interactive part of the movie and was really cool.
      I think I had the 02 version. I was mad because it's jus bare bones and basic (a lot of DVD releases were doing that then forcing you to rebuy them later when the do one that has added features). I may buy it on Blu-Ray, eventually. Honestly the Hulk version is my favorite. Like I said above I like that the part differs depending on the media and they put in that little extra effort on each.
