    Man that Chinatown set was masterful. It really made you feel like it took place in NYC. So much movie magic happened in the 80s. This movie is just an all time classic.

      Practical effects are so much better than CGI

    Damn dawg, considering that many of the locations were “inaccessible”, you nailed this episode. I remember being scared as hell when I watched Gremlins as a kid, yet nowadays I see how funny it is. By the way, some of those set locations look a lot like Nightmare on Elm street scenes (I don’t recall you doing any episodes on Nightmare on Elm street by the way… or did you? Hahaha, Gen-Xer getting old). Thank you for another good episode Kurt!

    Oh.. have you all noticed when Mrs deagle is killed the gremlins cuts the break cable on the police car, when the police car drives off it slows down and the break lights come on lol...

    Me and a friend went to go see Gremlins when it was originally released in theaters.
    It was the first time we went to go see a film in a theater all by ourselves.
    We took the RTD bus from our neighborhood over to the Glendale Galleria to see it.
    Good times.

      I think the film history in all those locations adds greatly to the charm and was probably done intentionally for that reason. It’s kind of an homage to classic films in several ways.

    The first X-mas movies that popped into my head were Elf and Bad Santa. Elf was filmed in New York and Vancouver, BC, Bad Santa takes place Phoenix but it was all filmed in California, Long Beach stood in for Miami Beach and Thurman's house was in West Hills.

    Thank you for mentioning Lethal Weapon as a Christmas movie. While I don't think Die Hard is actually a Christmas movie, if you accept Die Hard as one then you have to count Lethal Weapon and a lot of "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" advocates never even think about Lethal Weapon.

    It’s always amazing to me how many iconic movies, that you thought were filmed all over on location, were actually shot in just a couple of places on a backlot. Kind of ruins the illusion rewatching them in some ways. As an adult today, I guess I can sort of tell if I think about it. But especially as a kid in the 80’s, I really had no idea and didn’t even think about it.

  • @RDC_Autosports
