The Taming of Gremlins, part 1

For part 1 we go over the making of the film including a long exploration of the R-rated script, the casting, the PG-13 issue and production.

I think this film is a masterpiece. No joke. It's lightning in a bottle like Empire or any of the first 3 Indiana Jones movies. Gremlins 2 is great in it's own way, but doesn't quite scratch the itch of a real threat for the tension I got from the first movie. Studio notes worked for once for me.

[@AVeryHeavyAgenda]

just started checking out your channel, loving the content so far, the return of the jedi series was great and was super excited to see you'd be doing gremlins next

[@DarthMatusHolocron]

Man the quality of this channel is astounding

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

Gremlins was essentially Dr Jecklyl and Mr Hyde done as a creature horror film. A nice touch.
The film is fundamentally an anti- christmas movie and a subversion of small town tropes.

That Hard "R" version sounded awesome! But water under 25-degrees Fahrenheit is ice...unless he meant Celsius

[@darthmosasaur4469]

Love this channel keep em coming

[@Tchernobog]

still soaked in horror, kitchen & chainsaw scenes for sure

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

Gremlins original script sounds like a George Romero film:
Dawn of the Mogwai.
I like the idea of Gremlins eating Mcdonalds.
Well eating at Mcdonalds...

I feel as if we give directors who have been a part of making masterpieces too much credit when they speak, cause a lot of them spew pure marketing pablum, especially Spielberg. Like when he discusses how there had never been anything like the script for gemlins…despite the fact that adorable little puppet anamatronic who take over

[@christophermoonlightproduction]

I don't think I've watched Gremlins since the 80s. I loved it at the time. I'll have to revisit it.

[@alexanderdiogenes8067]

god, gremlins 2 the new batch might be my all time favorite movie ever. The first one is special as a comedy horror too though

[@beachcomberbob3496]

I'm a fan of Hoyt Axton's music, so it came as a surprise to see him in this movie when it first came out, as I never knew that he was also an actor.

[@KingSidJames]

For once i'm very pleased that the script was changed.

[@rupertcornelius]

wow that was fast

[@RepresentThis]

:) I took off a week from work to do nothing but make videos to get ahead and thought, why not put 2 out in one weekend to see how it goes.

Our Gremlins 2 coverage starts Friday and in two weeks, Predator.

[@seansmith4880]

Not a fan of Red Dawn but I just saw it 2 years ago and it does not hold up.

[@transopticon13]

it didn't hold up then, either

[@kubrickenigma7977]

Tosh and Tommy rot!

Thanks, we will keep making the videos and as they say in Field of Dreams: "If you build it they will come." Glad to have you here.

[@ENigma-um8zw]

🎼Do you hear what I hear?
The new breed of lovely content
Got into the series with the Alien3 vids and then the Star Wars sets and love the channel! Subscribed

[@RepresentThis]

Glad to have you here. Thanks for your thoughts.

[@NorthernHandle]

I’m so glad they changed the script. This doesn’t feel like a wonderful Spielberg dark comedy at all.

[@RepresentThis]

I agree, it's amazing how it evolved to Spielberg's vision.

[@NorthernHandle]

@@RepresentThis the definition of a brilliant result.

[@kubrickenigma7977]

Let's do this!

[@sarahb6570]

[@jayc4070]

You killing it!! Give us more!

More on Friday with Gremlins 2 and then the Planet of the Apes 1968 classic the following week.
