The eighties was a different time. I saw this movie when I was eight. Night terrors for weeks! In fact, this movie is responsible for the PG-13 rating. Before this, it was just: G, PG, R.
Chris Columbus, the guy who created the ‘Gremlins’ also created Stitch from ‘Lilo and Stitch’.
can you react to gremlins 2 the new batch
Tim, picture seeing this movie in a theater packed with young children. Now imagine their reaction to the scene where they find out there is no Santa Claus. Parents were pissed.😂😂😂
Oh myyy
I can’t even imagine that
When this movie turns to horror, it properly turns to horror. Having said that, the Gremlins watching Snow White is just too much fun.
Yes. I also love how Gizmo starts singing along to Snow White from Billy’s backpack. 🤗
That's the reason I prefer the original over the sequel. The original knew when to ham it up to extreme cartoony slapstick, and was also able to become a legitimately creepy monster movie when it knew it would be best. Towards the end, both genres combine into a lovely sorbet of comedy, holiday vibes, and classic horror.
This, like Little Monsters, shows just how different the PG rating was in the 1980’s.
And why PG-13 was created
@@DataCab1e even after the creation of PG-13, PG movies still had much more of an edge in the 80s and 90s than they do today.
Both with Howie Mandel
God, why’d you have to remind me about that film 🤣
@@JJdaPK Tomorrow war got a pg13... walking dead was tv 14. I think we get away with alot more these days as long as noone says f*ck more than once and we dont see full boob.
"I thought this was a kid's movie." I hear that line surprisingly often in reaction videos to older movies. XD
You also need to watch the second movie. A lot more fun and silly moments, more action and less horror than in the first one, but still great. It's not really a Christmas movie, however.
I don't see why this wouldn't be a kid movie. I saw it when I was around 6 or 7, and never be traumatised by it. Well... Ok, I also watched movies like Jaws by that time and the Nightmare on Elm Street or Robocop movies when I was 9. But I remember being a very pragmatic kid, always dissociating fiction from reality, and kinda not getting emotionnally invested in it... maybe that helped.
And there's also maybe something we tend to occult since the last 20 years... it's that kids love to challenge themselves with scary things. And I daresay it's shame we didn't let them do it... with parental supervision, there's no reason it ends badly for them.
It was for me!
Watch the sequel and prepare yourself for a drug overdose of reality warping awesomeness!!!
I Describe This Movie In Two Words:
Cute, Terrifying
There’s even an old bugs bunny cartoon called “falling hare” where he goes up against a gremlin. The short was made back in 1943, during wwii
Gremlins are legendary (myth) creatures just like leprechauns, big foot, fairies, etc.
They are mischievous and known to mess with mechanical things like engines, etc. That’s why the neighbor mentioned them.
The Twilight Zone has a famous episode that involved a gremlin. I highly recommend checking it out.
And William Shatner.
@@3DJapan
William Shatner is in the Twilight Zone episode I mentioned.
"There's...somethingOnThe wing. Some.....thing"
I saw this movie for the first time when I was way too young for it, even though it was rated PG. I pulled it out of my dad's DVD collection one morning while my parents were still asleep because it had a cute little furry guy on the cover. It gave me nightmares for months, I was scared of the dark for years, AND the bank scene with the girl's story about her dad is how I learned about Santa. But years later I watched it again and I actually loved it. It's been one of my family's three annual Christmas movies ever since (along with Die Hard and Scrooged). Great reaction! And great movie choice as always! 😊👍
Gremelins is just a fun movie.
This and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom are responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating in 1985.
The PG-13 rating came to be in late 1984, as Red Dawn was the first film to receive that rating; Gremlins, Temple of Doom and Conan the Destroyer all contributed to the rating change
@@15blackshirt
Indeed, you are right
It’s a kid’s movie. A lot of kid movies in the 80’s had a darkness to them. The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Secret world of NIMH, The Goonies, little Monsters…
Can’t wait for you to check out Gremlins 2. It’s even more of a of a comedy, very meta.
Edit: Oh, Howie Mandel provided the voice for Gizmo.
The term "gremlin", denoting a mischievous creature that sabotages aircraft, originates in Royal Air Force (RAF) slang among the British pilots stationed in Malta, the Middle East, and India in the 1920s, with the earliest recorded printed use being in a poem published in the journal Aeroplane in Malta on 10 April 1929. Later sources have sometimes claimed that the concept goes back to World War I, but there is no print evidence of this
There was even a bugs bunny cartoon made during wwii called Falling Hare where he goes up against a gremlin
Also an episode of Twilight Zone starring William Shatner
@@UnlicensedOkie true
@@UnlicensedOkie i was just going to comment to see if anybody remembered this cartoon
@@Thrui That cartoon has had a renaissance as of lately. "WHAT AM I DOING?!" is like perfect meme material
One more trivia thing.. Hoyt Axton, the dad.. was a famous country western singer & song writer. Rock n Roll too. In addition to his own music career, he wrote famous songs for Steepenwolf and 3 Dog Night (including Joy to the World (Jeremiah was a Bullfrog). His mom was also a songwriter.. wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis.
Cool, didn't know that last bit of info.
I remember him performing some in "Heart Like a Wheel" a pretty good film about female drag racing. And I love playing his original "Joy to the World" has more of a gospel element to it.
The Jazz gremlin scene was Steven Spielberg favorite part of the movie.
I remember being absolutely terrified of this movie as a kid, watched it on repeat tho
The sequel to this is the best bad film ever made.
The one thing you have to admire about mrs deagle, her self awareness.
"They've come for me", she knows where shes going and not deluding herself into believing the opposite.
Used the same backlot as Back to the Future. That movie theater facade is cursed. Billy blew it up, and Marty crashed the time machine into it on returning to 1985.
You could try Gremlins 2: The New Batch. As you'd expect, it does a version of the original setup but ramps it up on steroids. It parodies Aliens, Rambo, Wizard of Oz and several other films. Even parodies itself. There's a scene with Hulk Hogan which only had its full effect when seen in theaters, but is still funny on streaming.
This movie thoughts me not to feed my cat after midnight.
Saw this in the theater. Dang I got old
I absolutely love this Movie. Hard to believe you have waited so long to see it. I'm glad you did. Awesome. Billy's Mum is a Complete Bad-ass, just who you need in a crisis. She also plays Dewey's and Tatum's mum in Scream (1996). 😯🎄🎅🥰
I used to think her comments about depression during the Holidays (especially Christmas) were out of proportion, but I can honestly say that since my wife passed in October, the holidays don't seen happy, the just feel lonely.
Yeah it really does depend on the person and their experiences. I do hope that you are doing well even though you lost her. Healing does take time, but our loved ones never truly leave us and we help keep them alive in our hearts and memories.
@@itsmxtwist Sad but getting by, calling Grandchildren helps.
The term gremlins was used during WWII. Imaginary creatures that would wreak havok with machinery.
I can’t wait you to react gremlins 2
The second one is even more crazy but also has a lot of meta inside jokes.
This is probably one of my favorite movies of all time
Definitely my favorite 80s film
This was a favorite in my house. We always complained about bright lights in our eyes (photosensitive family) by saying "bright light, bright light" in our best Gizmo voices.
28:18 This was something you could do in some stores at the time. To show off how good camcorder footage could be, many stores had them set up with the output connected to their TV display, so you could stand in front of it and see yourself on a wall of TVs. The camcorder would often have a sign on it saying 'Smile, your on TV' or similar.
Gremlins were a myth that popped up in WWII, were it was believed that foreign adversaries put little monsters called Gremlins in machinery, particularly planes, to sabotage them.
BTW, this was the movie that caused the PG-13 rating to be developed. Also, make out you watch the sequel, it's arguably better.
I should mention that Gremlins wasn’t the only film that contributed to the creation of the PG-13 rating. It had help from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Gremlins 2 is great and very self aware. I met Zach Galligan at a convention. He saw the title and thought it was a movie about cars, he was excited to audition with Phoebe Kates since they had worked together before.
The sequel is a little too goofy for my taste.
Been waiting for this one!!! 😊
This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas, and all around favorite 80s movies. And I still have my Gizmo stuffed toy from back in the day. LOL!
I'll always remember the scene with the gremlins hatching out of the cocoons used to freak me out when I was younger.
I do highly recommend the 1990 sequel "Gremlins 2: The New Batch".
I loved this movie as a child/kid. One of the few Christmas movies I can stand to watch. A Christmas Story and Muppet Christmas are the others.
if you haven't seen Labyrinth, that's another great one to add to the list. It was one of my favourites as a kid along with Flight of the Navigator (I liked that more than ET).
Gremlins is one of the best Christmas movies! 🤣
"Gremlins" was produced by Spielberg, but it was directed by the brilliant Joe Dante. It is a prime exemplar of his style. Regarding Gizmo, the film makes clear that he could not become a Gremlin because he refuses to eat after midnight. He chooses not to become a Gremlin.
Chris Columbus original script was much more darker, but when Spielberg got the script and he really loved it, however they need a changes.
The mogwai ate the dog and tossed Mom’s head down the stairs 😅
Yeah, I read that script. The first reviews that came out they read the original script instead of watching the movie.
@@keitholsen8787 and much more darker ending.
25:05 This sad Christmas story was parodied by the same actress in Gremlins II -- but they switched the holiday, I won't say which one if nobody saw the hilarious sequel to this film.
Can’t wait to see you watch the sequel, next time.
I always questioned why they could go into the snow and not start replicating
I first saw Gremlins on TeenNick a few years ago and automatically loved it… my lights went out that night freaking the heck outta me 😂
Found a kitten recently and named him Gizmo because he looks just like Gizmo.
So you notice how in Home Alone 2 seems to have a self awareness that borders on satire? Gremlins 2 takes it waaaaay further 🤣
20:56 Timothee I'm impressed you instantly recognized that stop-motion sequence of all the Gremlins - I believe the only time in the movie they used that!
This movie and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was the reason they did the PG-13 rating.
Another one of my all time favorites, I think the theme music is underrated since It's been stuck in my head since 84. You should check out some more of Joe Dante's films, they all have a sense of fun, nostalgia and when the need arises pure horror.
This is one of my favorite films. Thanks for watching and reviewing this one.
Haha this movie reminds me of my childhood. I loved that. Excellent funny movie haha
The gremlin paying homage to E.T. before yanking the phone lines. 😄
I saw this film in the theater with my grandma when I was 6 or 7 years old. It was marketed as a film with this cute, fluffy creature so it seemed very kid friendly. Of course, many of us Gen X ended up seeing screwed up films marketed as kids movies. Haha
Famous scene of her coming out of a pool
Gremlins is such a horror treat to watch on Christmas.
"that's a cat lady, that's why" (roleyed) you maked my day lol
That movie is a classic.
Tim.... Us 80s kids had these as kids movies. Life was great. This is why we have morbid senses of humor.
It's fun that u can play gizmo as a evil gremlin in lego dimensions and not just a cute version of him
I remember in school our teacher showed us this movie before winter break, it was fun 🤣
get ready for the sequel to just dial everything up to 11
The 2nd one is also so much fun to watch! Also, Christopher Lee is in it. Plus Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck!
I never saw Gremlins as a horror movie as a kid. I always thought Critters was the horror version of this movie.
Under the contract he was on, Spielberg wasn't allowed to direct other films while working on his main one. Hence this, and Poltergeist, are listed as "Steven Spielberg Presents" films, when in actuality he did most of the direction on both of them.
Spielberg likes to prepare one film while being on set for the other, now that he can bankroll his own films this is just the accepted way he works. For instance he was working on Jurassic Park whilst on set for Schinders list, IIRC.
Sunlight kills the Mogwai, feeding them food transforms them into terrifying gremlins lol
yeah you have to remember that Gremlins as a term was actually first brought up during the 1930's during World War 2. Airmen and most soldiers during the time blamed faulty machines and malfunctions on little mythical creatures. some big time companies even made shorts and failed ideas of movies based on the critters like Warner Brothers themselves with Bugs Bunny and even Disney themselves were gonna make a live action/animated hybrid with the story of pilots dealing with them. there is a book called "The Gremlins" that it was based on and the characters are in the Epic Mickey games but it stinks we never got that movie. would have been like Roger Rabbit i bet.
Gremlins, the greatest Christmas movie ever made and it's definitely a major favorite film of mine! Every year on Christmas Eve I make a pilgrimage back into this masterpiece, always have since I was too young to watch it 🤣
And let's be honest, while this movie has many great scenes and moments the greatest thing ever... Is when the Gremlins launch Mrs. Deagle out the window! She had it coming! 😂😂😂😂
Nobody expects it, that’s why my sister and I had Gremlin themed nightmares for years.
I was 4 when i Saw IT ...never had Any bad dreams
Rewatched this movie recently after nearly a decade, and I still can't believe how high the body count gets. I never noticed it as a kid...
The Mogwais Remind Me Of Baby Yoda
Your face when the Dad started to talk about his invention again in the end. Priceless! 😂
I hope you're going to check out Gremlins 2 as well? It's very different in tone and leans more on a heavy comedy/parody side. But I think you'd still have a fun time with it!
Fun fact: “mogwai” means “demon”! It’s a play on the audience’s ignorance as much as the characters!!
One of my all time classic favorites. I love both 1 and 2. I have gizmo as my Christmas tree topper
You're the only reactor I've seen recognize Johnathan Banks in anything outside of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. Well done.
Billy's Mom is a Badass
20:40 Don't forget that the ones Stripe made also multiply in the pool
I'm not a psycho but I like seeing that old lady fly through the window 🤣
22:35 if you wanna see it again
I don't get why people get annoyed with Billy in the end, they act like he didn't decapitate the one strangling his mother in one swipe and then blew up at least 1000 of them in one go. Still sad he left his sword at the pool through, though I guess I can't blame him for panicking and running.
Lol, I've always loved this movie growing up. Kinda surprised I was never afraid of this movie because I would have been three when this movie came out. My grandma loved going to the movies. I believe she took me and my older cousin to see this in the theaters when it came out. She was always taking us to the movies lol not all of the movies she'd take us to see were exactly what would be considered child-friendly. lol, one of my favorite scenes is the theater scene when all of the gremlins are watching snow white. The only time when you could actually consider them kinda cute. Are you planning on watching the sequel at some point?
I love when you say "look at them conspiring" XD This movie is so much fun. You will love the sequal :)
3:12 So that he can keep an eye on him, so that he could take care of him. Unless you're working at the chemists, what's generally located around the back area of the store is not for sale. 'Baba' as we heard Gizmo call Mr Wing at the end means 'father' apparently. 'Mogwai' is Cantonese for either 'demon' or 'devil' - Gizmo knows what the word means and knows he has to be careful about being near water and when he eats, you can tell. When Randall is talking about the water rule if you listen carefully you can hear Gizmo say 'Glug glug' and then 'no no no no'
Billy's mother at 18:54 reminds me so much of Ripley from Aliens, both are badass!!💪
I wonder how kids felt when they saw this in theaters? Originally the film breaks the fourth wall making you think that gremlins are actually in the theater.
Mugwai is the fictional SPECIES of "Gizmo"
Excellent. Now, you are required, by law, to watch "Gremlins 2:The New Batch"(I personally think its better than the first!) It does a bunch of jokes based on the first one and doesn't take itself as seriously.
I still think there are a lot of scenes in this movie that are great. The man dropping the mail in the mailbox and hearing the gremlin gurgle "Yum yum!"and then spit out the letters one after another makes me laugh so hard. And the gremlins not only terrifying Mrs.Deagle, but also offing her is great.
The novelization for the film went into the backstory for the Mogwai(which means "demon", btw).Alien scientists created them to be the perfect pet to send across the galaxy and promote unity between different planets. However, the pets had a number of defects(such as their multiplication after touching water and allergy to light), not to mention only one in a thousand were actually benevolent and good, while the rest were destructively mischievous or downright homicidal.
Originally, the mogwai were actually going to kill Barney, but the higher ups believed it was too far.
Fun fact: this as well as Indiana Jones and the temple of doom was what inspired Steven Spielberg to invent the PG-13 rating
Back when practical effects was the only way, editing was so much more important. Some directors still agree it is. They just shoot a lot of film, but the editor makes it into a movie.
Yes this was one of your best reviews ever Tim! 👏 God this movie is ingrained in my childhood and I can't believe we're finally watching here now! Stay warm up in Quebec! ✌🏽
I watched this movie so much a kid and the only trauma I walked away with is Do You Hear What I Hear.
This movie is one of the reasons why MPAA created PG-13, not saying that’s a problem, because I like Gremlins
Also green blood
All the smoking and drinking, blowing his nose on the curtains…
That was awesome that you immediately recognized Jonathan Banks in the film. I don't know if you have ever seen the Tim Allen show Home Improvement but the woman who plays Mrs. Deagle is the same actress who plays Jill's mother in the show. I really love the main theme song in this movie, it's really catchy. Every time I see the part where the gremlins are dressed in winter clothes posing as Christmas carolers, it always cracks me up to point where I just loose it. It's actually kind of cute imo.
They are like friends you like but only hang out with occasionally & intentionally
Fantastic classic for kids who weren’t afraid of the dark, lol!
Yes, it would be best to watch some of the classic classic stuff. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was so ahead of its time. Citizen Kane was a purveyor of film techniques. The Miracle Worker with Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke gave the best performance of their career. Rear View Windows is thrilling. Seven Samurai inspired the Seven Magnificent, and so many more.
I watch gremlins again in December 2012, I did watch it again long time ago
Glad to see you recognised Jonathan Banks as Deputy Brent.
My (not too serious) theory is that when the authorities covered it all up, some of the ones involved was allowed to change their identity and move elsewhere. Brent survived and moved to Philadelphia and continued working as a police officer, assuming the obviously fake name Mike Ehrmantraut. That just sounds made up, right? His frequent checkups was blamed on his service in Vietnam as a former marine, but was actually to help him deal with the gremlin encounter.
Knowing how there are worse monsters than criminals out there, Mike stopped taking his law enforcement duties as serious anymore and became more and more corrupted. His only focus became keeping his family safe from any future gremlin outbreaks, to the point that he even worked with the likes of Gus Fring to do this.
Just my theory. ;)
Another great film from that year is The Last Starfighter, which is an interesting comparison because it mixes practical effects with early CGI.
AGREE, 1980's films have some great practical effects. Suggest the 1984 film 'Starman', another great classic!
I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this but I'm under the opinion that the main character technically never broke any of the rules, at least directly.
RIP hoyt axton who played randall peltzer(1938-1999) RIP keye luke who played mr.wing(1904-1991) and RIP dick miller who played murray futterman(1928-2019)😥 and i love gremlins it's a classic movie from the 80's and it's Amazing/a fantastic christmas movie🎬🎥👌 and tim please react to the night at the museum trilogy beceuse it have Robin Williams ben stiller owen wilson and lots of other comedy actors in it soo check it out👀 please!!!🎬🎥❤😊❤👍 and tim have a great day✌☀️😎🤙
I watched this movie just a couple of years ago and I too was impressed with the practical effects and just how creepy and scary it got. Gizmo is easily one of the cutest creatures I've ever seen! I'd see myself watching this every Christmas. Also are the classic Disney animated movies worth watching? One word: YES! :)
A few years back my friend invited me to a comic con at a nearby city to meet a couple of the original Power Rangers and I didn't realise until we were near the head of the line that Zach Galligan (Billy Peltzer) was at a nearby celeb table. At the time I thought you had to pay to get an autograph to even go up and say hi and I didn't have the money for it. I would have loved to have met him and chatted to him. Regret...
Gremlins 2 is just as good, I highly recommend it.
What about the gremlin that had escaped from the school?! Everyone seems to have forgotten about it. It's could still be out there!
