I was 10 at the time so old enough not to be too scared by it, and also couldn't understand why my mom was so upset. As an adult, I get it. It is a bit intense for little ones, so guess it was good they created this intermediate rating. Problem is now so many film makers water down movies that could be R rating so they get the PG-13. So unfortunately it had the opposite effect and made it so adult movies aren't as good because they tame them down - LOL

Chris Columbus wrote it - yes that one. He gives reference to the film in The Goonies (which he also wrote). Insofar as the story about the horrifying tale told of how her father died, the editor wanted to cut it out, the studio wanted to cut it out. Spielberg told Dante that it was up to him, so he kept it in. It feels as though it was setting up for some later scene where she'll have to go down a chimney on Christmas Eve to save the day or something. That didn't happen, the scene is literally establishing why her character is such a grump around Christmas.

Was originally ment to be a straight horror and Gizmo was ment to turn into Stripe but Spielberg suggested lighting the tone and changing Gizmo to make him more marketable. With Gremlins 2 the studio let Joe Dante do what he wanted so the Warner brothers style cartoon violence and humour is turned up a notch also the movie is a rebuttal to the critics of the first film.

FUN FACT: Warner Bros actually sued Hasbro, the company that produced Furbies, back in 1998, and then Furby put out a Gremlins Gizmo version the following year.

This movie was SO insanely popular when it game out. It was part of the zeitgeist. Everyone at my school had a Gremlins or Knightrider lunchbox. There was an anti-drug commercial tapping into it, showing the gremlin melting in the fountain to demonstrate what drugs do to you, haha.

@filmfanmark 2 года назад

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it but the "town" of Kingston Falls in Gremlins is also the same set as "Hill Valley" in Back to the Future. It's a back lot set at Universal Studios Hollywood called "Anytown USA". It was also used in the pilot episode of the Twilight Zone with the guy running around the empty town.

Gremlins (1984) Chris Columbus' script went through a few drafts before a shooting script was finalized. His original version had the Gremlins killing the dog and cutting off the mom's head and tossing it down the stairs. These elements were never shot due to the fact that director Joe Dante and Warner Brothers wanted the movie to be more family-oriented. www.imdb.com/title/tt0087363/trivia?item=tr0756218

The reason why it was so dark and Moody is because it was 80s PG which is basically Rated-R in 2020

@Fardawg 3 года назад

The original script was a much darker horror movie. Gizmo became a gremlin and the mother was killed, with her head thrown down the stairs towards Billy. They decided to lighten it up and keep Gizmo cute. This movie and "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" led to the PG-13 rating, with Spielberg himself (Gremlins producer and Temple director) asking for a rating between PG and R because he felt neither of them fit those films and parents had complained about them being PG.

@dylanjames7857 3 года назад

Fun fact. The script of the movie was written by Christopher Columbus (director of the first two Harry Potter films, Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, etc). But the story is loosely based off of a book called The Gremlins by Roald Dahl (who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, Matilda, etc). It is Roald Dahls story that popularized the lore of "Gremlins" to Western culture, and this movie led to us using the term "gremlins" as part of our vernacular.

@Vertigotheatre1 3 года назад

Brilliant movie, great comedy horror and weirdly feels more festive than most movies. The puppetry work throughout is superb. So glad they are using puppets and not CGI for the new one.

I remember hearing that the close-ups of Gizmo was actually a larger puppet, that's why they can do a lot of the facial expressions.

You guys should get into some other Joe Dante films like the following: “The Howling,” “Innerspace,” “Explorers” and one of his best called “Matinee” which is very nostalgic for lovers of ‘50s horror movies. Also, the great Dick Miller who plays Murray Futterman is in every Joe Dante film. He was a great classic entertainer who sadly passed away a few years ago.

This was one of the movies in the 80's, like Poltergeist, that led to the PG-13 rating being added. No nudity, light language, but unquestionable "adult" content. This is one of the family of movies that was NOT a kids movie.

If you do some research now you've watched it, you'll see each adne very Gremlin in both movies has a name, it's own personality and behaviour patterns, etc. They really went all out to make them puppets alive.

@ianfranklin294 3 года назад

Fun fact: According to a podcast I listened to, the original script for Gremlins was actually just as dark and terrifying as the final product. For instance, the dog gets killed by the new Mogwai when they hang him outside with Christmas lights and the gremlins actually decapitate Billy's mom and throw her head down the stairs as soon as Billy comes home.

@@toodlescae I said when I was born in relation to the movie because I think it factors into when the popularizing of theories/ideas like these occurs.

The fact that Corey Feldman's character survived along with "Rockin' Ricky" indicates people were able to survive/escape them. Even the Futtermans survived (if you listen to the news story in the background, it's mentioned that they talked to the press; plus they show up in the sequel). The guy who ran the bank was also killed by the gremlins, but that's only in a deleted scene (they find his body in the bank...as well as Gerald having gone insane).
