When you started rooting for them, you got the BIGGEST smile on your face lol!
The fact that the first thing you thought of when he was putting water on one of the Mogwai for the second time was how much pain Gizmo had been in the first time shows how kind of a person you are
I’m loving how you have fully embraced the motto “not gonna worry about it… gonna live in the moment “ 😂
"i have some questions about these rules."
bro, dont we all.
@@snewsh never thought about them until i got older. but as a kid, they all made perfect sense!
I have seen this movie a million times but I have NEVER noticed the grimlins screwing in the window as the town was going all to hell. My ass can't stop laughing! Thanks for pointing that out!
"Was this movie made for kids?!" Yeah man! 80s kids films are great! So much potential for trauma compared to the sterile stuff nowadays, but so much fun! (The British film "Witches" is kinda terrifying but kinda warns kids against being abducted!)
Witches messed me up as a kid lol but it's one of my all time favorites now
34:18 "oh, that is a shitty Christmas..."
"but for real, though, how do we stop these Gremlins" 🤣
Mushroom deserves an Oscar for playing Barney the dog. That surprise reaction to first seeing Gizmo was his shining moment!
A year after this movie was released, Corey Feldman was in the movie The Goonies. In that movie there was a scene where the town Sheriff mentioned the story of 'little creatures that multiply when you throw water on them'.
Yeah because The Goonies was written by Chris Columbus, the same guy who wrote... Gremlins he was referencing his own work. He would go on to direct Home Alone (with John Hughes as writer and producer) and the Harry Potter movies
@@samuelosler1994 I never knew the same guy worked on those! Boy, you really learn some great stuff just from reading through comment-sections. A couple weeks ago I found out the guy who did the rapping section of Gorillaz' "Clint Eastwood' song, was Ice Cube's cousin!
The actor who played Billy's father, Hoyt Axton, was an acclaimed singer/songwriter. He wrote the songs Joy to the World (Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog), Never Been to Spain, The Pusher, and Greenback Dollar, among many. His mother, Mae Boren Axton, was also a songwriter who wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis.
Came back from a funeral today feeling depressed, but seeing J giggling his ass off at Gremlins totally fixed that. Blank, if J is Team Gremlins, you GOTTA have him watch Gremlins 2 The New Batch, it's even more bonkers than the original!
It's awesome to see someone appreciate how brilliantly fucking funny the Gremlins are! Definitely pure 80s on pure coke! But somehow it works. Genius
I’m now 40 years old and still have the original gizmo doll from when I was 2!!🤣🤣
Wow!
Fun facts: This town was also used as Hill Valley in "Back to the Future".
-Howie Mandel voiced Gizmo. he would later recycle that same voice for the character Bobby in "Bobby's World".
-The producers got sued by the chair lift company, after numerous people returned their units after seeing this movie.
-This was one of the first Christmas movies that dealt with seasonal depression.
Before this film, the rating PG-13 didn't exist. The advertisement campaign for this never showed anything except for cute scenes of Gizmo, and the poster for the film only showed Gizmo. Parents assumed this was merely a happy cute Christmas film for kids, so very young children went to see it opening night. After children were terrified with nightmares, and parents angrily calling theaters, a new rating was devised that would warn parents if something wasn't fit for young children, but acceptable for older children and teens. Since before that all there was, was the G, PG, R, X, and Adult Rating. It's crazy that the film Jaws is rated PG, even though the ad campaign did warn people to expect something not suitable for young children. It was inevitable that the PG-13 rating would be created, but it took Gremlins, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, for the rating to finally be created.
Wow.
Yes, that’s why Poltergeist was also on your viewing list if you were born in the late 70’s and early 80’s. 😂
Jaws was PG
Red Dawn was the first film to be released as PG-13
@@9HighFlyer9 Oh? Must have been the leaky radiator scene.
I love how you were terrified of sloth and the gremlins, yet now love them. The 80s were amazing.
The mom in the kitchen sequence is masterpiece
Please react to the sequel. It’s even funnier and a lot more self aware. 😁
So glad you enjoyed it. This is a classic.
And, yes - it was for kids. We were just built different in the 80’s. 😆🤣
Yes we were this my favorite movie and I was way too young to watch 😂
I was taken to see this at age 4 and loved it,for years I thought it was meant for kids. Just a different time back then,we were feral compared to how kids are now
I always thought so too. I watched it as a kid more than once and considered a great movie to see. As i grew older, i began to wonder if it really was meant for kids lol
"They got the market cornered on mayhem" is such a perfect summary it deserves to the tagline for this film.
tagline for part 2
You're one of the only reaction channels where I laugh out loud multiple times throughout!
He cracks me up too!! Consistently.
Funniest reactor out there
This was the benefit of growing up in the 80’s! Every year it seemed like there was another movie destined to be a classic. So many 80’s movies are timeless and are just as fun to watch 10 - 30 years later as the day you first saw them. As always, you had me laughing more than the movie intended. Thanks for the 80’s trip, let’s keep this party rolling!
The cocoon stage is for the 'Mogwais'. They change into 'Gremlins'. If a 'Gremlin' gets wet, it just multiplies. When a 'Mogwai' eats after midnight is when they enter the pupa or cocoon stage.
The sequel is a pretty great time too. It amps up the silly factor with some fun variants, and it is very self-aware, at one point they make fun of the 3 rules.
Jonathan Banks was the dude in the Sherriff's office. If you saw Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul he's Mike. But he was also in Airplane. He was one of the guys on the scopes who checks on the Turkey in the microwave.
Gremlins 2 The New Batch is definitely worth the watch. Key and Peele did a Gremlins 2 brainstorming skit that is great.
He was also in Beverly Hills Cop as the guy who "wrecked the buffet at the Harrow Club" (by being thrown into it...)
Wasn’t he the guy that kills Axel’s friend in the beginning? That’s the only scene I remember seeing him in
The Sequel is twice as insane as this one, highly recommended and super underrated.
Kate rocks! She deserves all the credit and more for that bar escape scene
“Gizmo must smell awful if you can’t give him a bath” this is why we love you
I love your commentaries. You have opened my mind to so much more too this movie than previously before. "That kid shouldn't own a pet", hilarious, yet true.
If you think this is wild, Team Gremlin goes pure savagery in Gremlins 2.
From never watching for being scary to team Gremlin! I love it :)
My mom worked in a department store around the time that this movie came out, and told me probably one of the funniest stories I've heard from her. Her bosses went Gremlins crazy and stocked the store with merch because they were convinced it was going to be huge. This was before they'd seen it, of course. After the movie came out, people found out how scary it was, and no kid wanted any part of those toys.
This No One had a stuffed Gizmo that would squeak when you shook it.
I had a few of the small plastic mogwai. I remember visiting my grandmother's house and my uncle tied fireworks to them.
@@hippychikforever Me too! And I still have it in my basement somewhere.
18:37 That's actually a really funny in-joke. The device behind Rand is the time machine from the 1960 movie The Time Machine. In the next shot, it's disappeared with a bunch of smoke left behind, implying that someone just used it to travel through time.
Everything about the mom was my favorite part of this video. Lol.
As a few others have pointed out, this movie was PG before PG-13. The gory deaths of the gremlins in the kitchen and Stripe's meltdown were the parts that scared me the most at 6 years old! Surprisingly, it was actually marketed to kids. McDonalds had a Happy Meal promotion that was 4 book-and-record sets that told a condensed and illustrated version of the movie's plot. I had a Gremlins lunchbox in 1st or 2nd grade, with a drawing of Stripe hiding amongst stuffed animals on one of the sides and Gizmo driving the toy car on the front. The 80s were a crazy time to be a kid.
Billy is like one of those people who want a puppy and then just lock them outside all the time and then wonder why it got hurt
I knew this was going to be fun. Gizmo was voiced by Howie Mandell. Mr. Futterman was played by Dick Miller, who has probably been in 500 movies, his wife was played by Jackie Joseph and the two of them are in the original Little Shop of Horrors movie. I didn't know Mike (Jonathan Banks) was in this, maybe this event is what started him on the road to who he became. Billy (Zack Galligan) and Gizmo reunited for a Mountain Dew commercial. Polly Holliday played the dog hating neighbor, she was Flo in the tv show Alice. Can't wait for Friday. I've never actually watched that movie.
You need to watch it. It's fun
Also Michael Winslow from Police Academy did Spike's voice👍
@@MichaelJohnson-dt5zr i didn't know that. Cool!!!
@@MichaelJohnson-dt5zr I think that was Frank Welker but Michael Winslow did voice some gremlins
Miller was in Terminator as the gun shop owner.
Ahh, the great Dick Miller! His career playing leading men ended in the 50s because Hollywood said he was "too short." He got revenge through tons of small roles in iconic future movies for decades. He's the man.
The scene about her father in the chimney is one of the best in cinema history.
40:33 "Gizmo had to save you. You ain't gonna make it in life" Hahaha
Your "Thank you for playing" was one of the funniest things ive heard in a long time. You are truly very good at your job. a pleasure to watch.
I stand corrected. I think the comment about it being Santa's last year might even be funnier
“I apologize; I should have known by your fro that you was the thug of the family” 🤣
One of the problems I had with the rules is the eating after midnight thing. What if you stroll into a different time zone. Midnight wouldn't really matter. And those thing are made in China, so midnight over there is sometime during the day here
The dad is a great song writer IRL, having won Grammy awards. He wrote “Joy to the World” for 3 Dog Night.
No sh*t..learned something new today lol
Also "Never Been to Spain", again by 3 Dog Night
Yep, this was a fun reaction! I loved how you were freaking out at the beginning, but by the end you were laughing and scared at the same time 😄 Mrs. Peltzer is one of my favorite movie moms, she takes care of her family and protects them at all costs.
The man Billy spoke with early on at the bar was Chuck Jones, who was responsible for a lot of classic animation, including the Grinch cartoon and many popular Looney Tunes shorts. Mrs. Deagle was played by Polly Holiday, who many back then knew from the TV show "Alice," where she was the sassy waitress with the bouffant hair at Mel's Diner, and when she was mad she'd say "Kiss my grits!" And the movie advertised on the marquee at the beginning, "A Boy's Life (watch the skies)" was the working title for _E.T._
"Your hand look like the damn Snickers bar."
I'm done. 🤣
I haven't laughed this hard in a good long while. Thank you, JL. I love this movie so much and I'm glad you had fun with it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite Christmas movie! I was 20 when it came out and hesitated to see it because I thought it was just a cute kids' movie. I'm so glad I watched it. To think that I would have missed out on the carolers singing, the bar scene, or even the scene in the theater makes me kind of sad. I'm pretty sure we're all a little "team gremlin", whether we want to admit it or not.
"You got some Zulu Warrior in you....." and the yell..... I almost peed I laughed so hard.... Then the hair comment.... You're killin me.
Yo, this is one of the dearest movies to my heart from my childhood, and hands down one of the funniest reaction commentaries I've ever seen! Thanks for bringing that extra slappin happiness back into my life!
Synopsis of Gremlins: George Lucas taught Steven Spielberg about merchandising.
The funniest part was when the gremlin first opened the kitchen cabinet. That made you jump and immediately after that you could hear all of the gremlins laughing. That just fit perfectly because you knew we were laughing. 😂😂
"I shoulda known by your fro you were the thug in the family" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This shit was epic. One of the greatest commentaries of all time. If this was a comedy routine you couldn't charge enough money to see it. Loved every minute of it. Can't believe you've never seen Gremlins. Our family always watched this when it was released on video when me and my brother were younger. It is a unique movie for sure. There is a part 2 by the way. Funnier still.... there is sort of a horror spin off (or I always thought of it like that) around the same time period and the movie was called Critters. Just fantastic content! 👏 👏👏👍
JL singing the famous "Gremlin Rag" tune...new opening theme song for the channel!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He wasn’t calling Gizmo, caca… he was saying “Gizmo ain’t shit” 😂😂😂
This was the first movie I seen all the way through in the theater. I was 5. My mom took me to see ET when I was 3 but I cried so hard when ET & Elliot got sick that she had to take me home. Gremlins didn’t give me nightmares. I loved it. Made my mom buy me a stuffed Gizmo that squeaks when you shake him right after the movie because the theater was inside a mall. Still got it packed away somewhere.
I had that Gizmo too!
I had a Spike...but a cute Gizmo too.
"this is dennis the menace on cocaine" and gremlins 2 is dennis the menace on meth. glad you enjoyed it! just in time for the holidays :D
The little dance at the end was really good 😂
I knew the Murder Whistle would love this one.
The Gremlin is his true "spirit animal".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knew you'd love the bar scene. Gotta echo the love for the sequel the others are saying.
It is a whole other experience.
It always cracks me up to see intelligent monsters portrayed in films.
Most are portrayed as mindless beasts, but the gremlins knew how to party, and plot.
Reminds me of the xenomorph queen , lol - she even used an elevator to get to track down Ellen - no stupidity there.
Her consorts knew human weapons as well.
Thanks for watching this classic! Your reactions are really funny. Love Gizmo and Billy, Katy and Barney the dog xx
"Come on, Barney, be a good dog."
"Barney about that action, though."
Hahahahahaha
6:50 Because she is... :D 13:50 Not yet... ;)
16:02 Phoebe Cates is lovely. 21:24 Shut up! :)
22:35 Oh she has this... 23:08 Yeah, the mom is a badass. :D 29:07 That reaction... lol
33:39 Aaw... what a lovely christmas story... 40:33 "you're not gonna make it in life" ;)
Gremlins must be geniuses to be able to get that kind of torque and power out of a stair lift.
In the immortal words of James Rolfe, the Gremlins may be horrible little bastards, but they just want to have fun. It's great just seeing these vicious little monsters wreck everything.
"Now I have another reason to hate Christmas."
"What are you talking about?"
"The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. [✂] And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus."
Sweet Christ! 😳
Fun Fact: This movie and Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (1984) are credited with inspiring the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating. Many felt the movies were too violent for a PG rating, but not violent enough for an R.
Practical Security Fact: Zach Galligan recounted in an interview that when the movie was made, there was no CGI, so all of the Gremlins were animatronics, each costing between $30-40,000. When everyone left the lot for the day, security would have everyone open the trunks of their cars to make sure they weren't stolen.
Christmas Nightmare Fact: The "Santa Speech" proved to be controversial and studio executives insisted upon its removal because they felt it was too ambiguous as to whether it was supposed to be funny or sad. Director Joe Dante however stubbornly refused to take the scene out saying it represented this movie as a whole, which had a combination of horrific and comedic elements. Executive producer Steven Spielberg did not like the scene, but despite his creative control, he viewed this movie as Dante's project and allowed him to leave it in. Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) would later hilariously lampoon this ridiculous speech, which I highly recommend.
She hasn't even gone after the dog yet and he's calling her evil as hell, lol
I love that you loved this so much! Oh the nostalgia I have for this film! I remember watching it with my cousins around Christmas time 1985 or 1986. One of the best memories of my youth. I loved that it was so violent and gross for a kids movie! They don't make em like this anymore. And a little fun trivia- the town they filmed it in is the same "town" (actually a set built outside) is the same town in Back to the Future...and Billy's mom was also in Back to the Future- she played Loraine's mom, just didnt have an afro! Happy Holidays to you and the co pilots!
Your reaction had me in stitches, especially when you commented on Mrs Peltzer's afro. That especially amused me because in the 80's my mother had a perm that looked like that. I always told her she had an afro but she denied it. Then she was at the grocery store and a black guy told her she had a great afro. At that moment she knew I was right, since a black man confirmed it. 🤣
The Gremlins theme is such a BOP! It goes so hard for no reason!
"Yo hand look like the damn Snickers bar! You're crazy." 🤣
I'm a 80s baby. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
The staircase chair lift scene just like f.u.b.a.r. has given me nothing but joy since my youth
Absolutely! Always a memorable scene 🤣
The writer of this movie, Chris Columbus, also wrote Goonies, and went on to direct Home Alone 1 & 2, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the first 2 Harry Potters
This *is* a kids movie, just...an *80's* kids movie...
That coked up bar scene...imagine an entire movie with that energy and craziness...that's Gremlins 2.
Gremlins was played 100% earnest thought while Gremlins 2 is played 100% tongue in cheek meta parody.
Both movies are excellent, you just need to be prepared for the change in tone.
The town of Kingston Falls set in Gremlins was used one year later in 1985 (without the snow) to be the town of Hill Valley in Back to the Future.
At the beginning of the movie you see two movie titles on the marquee there:
"A Boy's Life" was the working title for E.T.
"Watch the Skies" was the working title for Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Both Steven Speilberg films and so more references.
When Billy's dad is on the phone in the booth at the inventor's convention, you see a guy drive past him in a little go cart thing and he's wearing like a shriner's cap. That's Steven Speilberg.
Also while Randy is there on the phone you see Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet and in the background you see the time machine from the 1960 movie The Time Machine. But then the camera switches to a close up of Randy and when it zooms out again the time machine is gone and people there are looking confused like the machine just vanished into thin air, that's what the smoke was from.
I saw this movie in the theaters a few times as a kid, then many more times on TV.
Watching it so many times I've come up with some theories on how Gremlins physiology works just to keep my own mind from bothering me.
Now, what I've heard is the official canon is that with mogwai (which translates into "monster" in Chinese) only 1 in 1000 are good hearted like Gizmo when they are born, the rest are mean terrors like the others.
I prefer my own theory I came up with...
The water that got splashed on Gizmo was the dirty water Billy used to rinse his paint brushes. The water was tainted, so the mogwai were too. I always imagine Gizmo was born from a drop of water from a crystal clear mountain stream.
The mogwai reproduce asexual and they hold fertilized eggs in their skin, it only takes a drop of water to waken them. But it has to be H2O, you could give them milk to drink or bathe them in it and they wouldn't multiply. Even though snow is frozen H2O it's too cold to awaken the eggs.
They don't have an infinite amount of eggs, the older eggs eventually die and drop off like dead skin cells and new eggs are constantly being regenerated by their body metabolism. This is why some parts of their bodies seem to get wet but no new Gremlins pop out...the water just happened to hit an area with no eggs, but the water eventually will find some.
The eating after midnight thing. This really gave me a headache as a kid until I figured it out to my own satisfaction.
The Sun is the weakness of the mogwai. Direct sunlight will kill them, but even indirect sunlight has an effect. It keeps them too weak to go into a pupa stage. But at midnight the sun is directly behind the Earth and the mogwai are at their strongest. Then they only need to eat to trigger metamorphosis. They hold onto this strength past midnight, it takes the sun rise, turning night back to day, to weaken them enough again. So no matter where they are in the world, the rule will still apply only to the midnight of the time zone they are in.
I know, I put too much thought into this, but it's how my brain works...
Best Regards! Happy Holidays!
i had this movie recorded on VHS way back in the mid/late 80s. Watched it over and over again. Another Christmas Classic
I had this, Big (the Tom Hanks movie) and Lucas (Corey Haim) on the same VHS tape. Learned how to use the VCR just to watch that tape over and over
@@dustywaynemusic6297 we had Gremlins, Ghostbusters 2 and either Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or a great horror gem called Razorback on the same tape, cant remember which. We had so many tapes like that just the same as everyone else back then. One of my most prized was a tv recording of Aliens on network tv back in 88/89 i think. We didnt have cable so just the antenna and the reception that night was horrible so the recording was fuzzy and just barely watchable but i wore that one out as a young kid.
Seriously…..everytime i watch this video the “he a thug aint he”? I cant😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This video put a smile on my face. Thank you guys, excellent work. Camera shake on that final jumpscare was legit.
"Was he up there f#$@in'!?" LMAO. Wow! I never noticed that before! I've seen this movie dozens of times. It certainly looked like it, didn't it.
It made me immensely happy that you loved this movie so much! I have been hoping you would watch Gremlins for the longest time; I was sure you would enjoy it by the time the real mayhem started. Please, please, please watch the sequel soon, even before Lethal Weapon 2. The cartoon mayhem is turned up to 11, and then they break off the knob! Highly recommended! Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday!
Made my shitty day completely better thanks J!! ❤ Omg it's Billy Rosewood. Such a classic movie. Your laugh is the best thing I've heard lol. Almost too 30k your channel has grown fast keep up the good work. 🙏
Us 80s kids are built different and the mom is badass.
I don't know for sure, but I think that Roland Emmerich gave a wink and a nod to the popcorn scene in his 1998 movie Godzilla. I remember the moment I saw that popcorn bag hanging out of baby lizard's mouth, I thought of Gremlins :)
I forgot how great this reaction was. The range of emotions J goes through over the course of this movie is a delight.
"Nothing in this movie made sense...but it was amazing."
What more needs to be said?
Oh boy, this is gonna be fun! 😄 I saw this in the theater, but I still wasn't allowed to watch "scary" things at the time and don't remember whether or not my mom was aware I was seeing it, it was probably with a friend whom she considered a bad influence (the preacher's kid who taught me how to smoke, yeah), but the main thing I remember is loving the soundtrack, loving all of the old-fashioned WB influence, and bolting up from a nightmare that night crying about a gremlin on my bed 😄 OH! And the sequel's pretty much just this film lampooning itself, it asks all the right questions and isn't afraid to go totally batsh!t. Go in expecting a story that isn't serious and you'll probably have a great time.
PG
My Grandpa took me to see Gremlins in the theater. We were supposed to see the Muppets movie but it was sold out or we missed the showtime. I'm not sure because a sold out matinee seems odd but my Grandpa being late for anything ever seems even more out of place.
He called my mom and asked her if it'd be ok. They were both movies about puppets right? Surely my 5yo brain wasn't affected by those terrifying green monsters.
@@9HighFlyer9 ..AND?
...2022 = okay?
Do you remember that science teacher? He also played in "Cooley High"!
My "first" favorite childhood movie!!! Picture it...1984....June.....sack cinemas in Somerville Mass....11 years old and my 3 best friends.... little bit of extra info, when Gremlins was over the four of us snuck into the NeverEnding Story and got caught halfway through him or kicked out. Thanks for the reaction I've been enjoying a lot of them. Shut out to the canines... do you have one or two dogs?
The police deputy looks familiar because he's Mike on Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul!
Gremlins 2 is a must. They turn the crazy dial up to 11.
The Muppet Movie (1979) when I was 4, Airplane! when I was 5, and Ghostbusters when I was 9 all freaked me out when I saw them in theaters!
The Muppet Movie, it was only one scene in the entire film that scared me and I loved the rest of the movie sooooo much I kept asking my grandmother to take me to see it again. Whenever it started getting close to that scene, I started getting nervous. I would get up from my seat just before and walk out of the theater and ask the usher to tell me when that part was over. They always did.
I also saw Gremlins in the theater when I was 9, but it didn't scare me. First, I was obsessed with seeing this movie. Second, Burger King was doing a tie in promotion where for 5 weeks they sold Gremlims books each accompanied by a record that told part of the story. The first week it was the book and record that told the first part of the story, the second week the next book came out that told the next part, and on and on until the fifth book came out.
Before I even saw the movie, I had collected all 5 books and records and they pretty much told the entire movie. I knew going in everything that was going to happen. I guess that prepared me for it enough that I wasn't scared.
Best Regards and Happy Holidays!
that familiar cop was Mike from Breaking Bad he's been in everything for about 15 seconds
Forgot there were some great jump scares in this, thank you! for the lively reactions!
🤣 your catch phrase is "shut up!"... I've started saying it just before you get it out. 🤣
Your dog is so cute ❤ love when he is on his back flashing everything 😅🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Sweet! This one should be fun! Give the puppers some treatos, belly rubs, and let's get it!!!!
Had a Gizmo shirt I still wore in 8th grade. Love this silly movie!
I saw this in the theatre when I was 4 years old and it's one of my most vivid memories. It really didn't scare me at all but it definitely grabbed my attention. Part 2 is a great parody and I highly recommend it.
'80s knew how to have fun!
Truth!
Yes, Billy doesn't seem smart enough to be handling money in a bank.
I like how you gave props to the caroling gremlins 😂😂
