Gremlins Review - Off The Shelf Reviews 

These guy's enthusiasm for films is infectious. I really, really enjoy watching them review movies. They seem like really nice dudes.

Phoebe Cates, yum, yum

I love how when the Gremlins go after Mrs. Deagle, she's like "They've come for me!" and "I'm not ready yet." It's the whole 'The devil has sent his minions to come for me for my wicked ways' scenario. Well of course, little does she know, she's going to meet Satan in a few seconds.

That's interesting about the explanation for the nature of Gizmo in the novelization, I've know of that for a couple of years now. However, as a kid my reasoning was always that the water that got spilled on Gizmo was "dirty", it was used to clean paintbrushes, then in the second film, again the water landed on the painting and traveled down before it hit Gizmo. I assumed Gizmo himself must have originated from a drop of pure clean water and that accounted for his innocent personality.

Awesome review,guys! A little trivia: Early in the film,following Billy to work,there is a cinema billboard showing the films A BOYS LIFE and WATCH THE SKIES. These were the working-titles for the Spielberg-films ET and CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE THIRD KIND.

"Explorers" and "Small Soldiers" don't get enough love. Plus, for one shot, you can see the puppeteer wires on the gremlin throwing dishes at Mrs. Peltzer.

Don‘t miss Jerry Goldsmith in the phone booth and the smiley sticker on the fridge door (The Howling) and the the glowing finger (E.T.) and…. So many refereces to other movies. It‘s so much fun every time I watch this movie.

Will you review Gremlins 2? I find that movie to be extremely under-rated.

How did I miss this review going back through your playlist? Great stuff guys!

Another cracking review!!! A little slice of childhood right there!

I use to have a life size Gizmo in the 80s as a kid.

For those asking why Gizmo is "good " while his offspring are "bad", my theory is that Gizmo is the pure progenitor and the offspring are the corrupted copies. Also, mogwai is the Chinese word for "demon". Make of that what you will...😜

wait the snow is wet so....

"You should just buy juice in cartons, it's much easier"

Have you ever noticed that Mrs. Deagle's Real Estate business is only open for 45 minutes a day?! From 10.30am to 11.15am. She's even a tyrant with time! 😄

The neighbors story of Gremlins during ww2 is actually true. Fighter pilots reported such incidents of little mischievous being ripping up wings.

When it says "Don't feed it after midnight," I'm assuming it just means after midnight until sunrise.

Question how come the gremlins don’t multiply when they touch the snow everywhere

24:55 gap toothed GREMLIN is singing the movie's theme music I've never noticed that before

My favorite Christmas movie had been Gremlins since 1984. Since 2015 it has moved to number 2 after viewing Krumpus.

I need to watch this again. Don't think I've seen it since '85 or so..

Do Gremlins 2, an actually superior sequel.

Phoebe Cates was also 1982's 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High'

Would have been better if it was "Don't feed hm directly after midnight".

The microwave scene was shown on the first British Television screening of Gremlins on ITV at Christmas 1988.

Love this channel keep it up lads

Phobe Cates...also in Fast times at Ridgemont High

I'm 28, and i love gremlins 2.

My dad was a bit of a lad back in the day and managed to get his hands on many vids before they were legally available. He handed me a non marked VHS tape with a wink, saying it was a pirate video. I popped the movie in and was totally swept away by the nasty little green bastards. Dad asked me what I thought of the movie, I thought it was great, but it had no pirates in it. Stupid boy!

Wasn't it Rick Baker who created Gizmo and the gremlins? Interesting, considering him and Rob Bottin(from The Howling) both designed iconic werewolves.

I think there needs to be a gremlins 3(at least before the inevitable remake). I was just thinking that a new plot device could be to "tremors" it, meaning add a new part to their life cycle. either get into to gizmo/gremlin origins or something that could happen after the gremlin stage. dosnt matter just would love to see another gremlins film with practical effect.

This movie gave me nightmares as a kid

Misses Deagle would've been perfect for Ebenezer

Oh you guys have got to review A Christmas Story for another one of your Christmas specials! CLASSIC HOLIDAY MOVIE!

Would love you guys to do Piranha!

Haven't seen this since it came out. I need to watch this again.

Pretty sure the news (at the end) report only 1 death: Ms Deagle. Which really does not reflect the viscious portray of the Gremlin's attack at the town, but sort of explains why the event didn't gain global notoriety. Either way, that means that the professor just got drugged. And even if it's not your favorite, please do review the 2nd part.

How do the Gremlins walk in the snow? Isn't snow just frozen water???

Watched this today in the theater. i loved it. 8/10

Love the love for Drop Dead Fred ♥️😆

My best Christmas movies.... Christmas Story Christmas Vacation Die Hard Gremlins Krampus Scrooged

i love this classic but one thing always bugged me... its winter and we have snow ice... isnt that water ..

IT SHOWS YOU HOW TIMES HA'VE CHANGED I WATCHED THIS AT SCHOOL AT 9 OR 10 YEARS OLD NOW A DAYS THAT WOULD BE A SACKABLE OFFENCE

I always thought the midnight thing was weird is it midnight eastern central time what time are you using

Guys you never mentioned the voice acting lead is transformers MEGATRON, Frank Welker from the TV show and the 86 movie. Also Bay's 3 4 5th live action movies. Also Ghostbusters I,II his list is a mile long

Red letter media posted a commentary track for gremlins and I got excited to watch it again. It's been many years since I thought about it, your review was great too Gary and I'm on drugs, it's so much fun hearing your thoughts on films I know

I have to say part of me wants a new Gremlins movie because I loved the originals. I dont want a re-make, it will never top the original. If they could make a movie thats good and just a new movie that stands on its own I'd be happy. Are you guys doing a Gremlins 2 review any time or do we need to wait for christmas this year? :D

Q: what was the purpose of making a PG rated Christmas movie instead of an R rated Christmas movie? A: 5:27

When are you going to do Gremlins 2?

Currencies? I thought her cats name was Donnabelle not Dollar Bill😂😂😂

24:55 gap toothed GREMLIN was rumored to be inspired by David Letterman Jim Carrey gap toothed himself in Dumb and Dumber to look that way

always after midnight lol

What happened to your review of I Know What You Did Last Summer? I just looked for it but can't find it.

Back to the Future vs GREMLINS

This had to be re-edited? Ok, but is there a review of another movie, which you haven't discussed so far?

This film couldn't happen with modern clocks. If the gremlins unplugged a digital clock, it would have just flashed all zeroes... or zed's for our British bruvah's.

What film is this bit 5:00 from ? Asking for a friend 😂

Have you seen the video were some kids prank people while sitting in a letter box throwing out letters when some old dude is so annoyed he unloads his revolver into the letter box?

Mr Peltzer 's inventions are the funniest things in this movie in GREMLINS 2 TRUMP ..... I mean CLAMP TOWER seems like it was designed by Mr Peltzer

the ref!

How to gremlins mulitlipy

I am king Joshua Shawn 2 immortal lost boy mog wise stripe gremli and troublosmi. Terribleness

The police are so useless in this movie lol

This is not as good as the 1984 film Ghostbusters.

Why are Caucasian people Experts at Frivolous Activities .

God blezz deagle striped gremlins. And deleted scenes from all scenes and scenes from heaven. #orions. Films within film's. God bless mad max and mum.
