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.
I always assumed that Gizmo got somehow created by a never-revealed direct breed method. But it also could be as simple as: humans only keeping alive the ones with the best and "more desirable" traits, which is essentially what we have done with dogs, vegetables, etc.
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.
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.
How did I miss this review going back through your playlist? Great stuff guys!

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.
"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.
I had one too. My parents took the opportunity and forced me to decide between an Atari/Intellevision or a Gizmo doll, after a full year of helping and good behavior. I know..
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...😜
I always assumed that it was linked to their own biological day-night cycle. But it probably was just a mystical reasoning: past midnight is where supernatural/bad things come up.
Wasn't it Rick Baker who created Gizmo and the gremlins? Interesting, considering him and Rob Bottin(from The Howling) both designed iconic werewolves.
@@GamerGuysReviews Thanks for the correction! I remember seeing a photo of Baker and one of the creatures and I was shocked for a sec. All three guys(Baker, Bottin, and Walas) were excellent at their craft.
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.
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! 😄
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.
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
+Fizzlefuse Well i wouldnt consider Gremlins 2 a christmas movie. If you want to you could head to our Patreon page and sign up and Gremlins 2 could be youe request thus making it a priority for us :) - Iain
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!
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
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
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?
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.
These guy's enthusiasm for films is infectious. I really, really enjoy watching them review movies. They seem like really nice dudes.
I am he he Intel virtually. And Robbie the robot 🤖 s

Drawkcabi that’s a very good point. But what about the water used on the mogwai in the science lab? That one was cheeky and naughty as well

Phoebe Cates, yum, yum
Fast Times at Ridgemont High!
My childhood crush just wow
Still bang-able at her age in 2020.

Another cracking review!!! A little slice of childhood right there!
"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.
Will you review Gremlins 2? I find that movie to be extremely under-rated.
Gremlins 2 is an amazing sequel
I agree I prefer it to the first one in my opinion
Question how come the gremlins don’t multiply when they touch the snow everywhere
I use to have a life size Gizmo in the 80s as a kid.
James Daniel Massey did you follow the rules
christopher krause Since he implies that he doesn't have it anymore, I think we all know what happened to poor Gizmo....😦
I had one too. My parents took the opportunity and forced me to decide between an Atari/Intellevision or a Gizmo doll, after a full year of helping and good behavior. I know..
Me too. I choose him.
Phoebe Cates was also 1982's 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High'
Babes in Toy Land too??? Don't remember the female lead but she was hot
God bless the mog Wise 🦉
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...😜
The microwave scene was shown on the first British Television screening of Gremlins on ITV at Christmas 1988.

GREMLIN
is singing the
movie's theme music
I've never noticed
that before
Oh you guys have got to review A Christmas Story for another one of your Christmas specials! CLASSIC HOLIDAY MOVIE!
When it says "Don't feed it after midnight," I'm assuming it just means after midnight until sunrise.
gnc623 just feed them at 11:30 pm and you’ll be fine
I always assumed that it was linked to their own biological day-night cycle. But it probably was just a mystical reasoning: past midnight is where supernatural/bad things come up.
My favorite Christmas movie had been Gremlins since 1984. Since 2015 it has moved to number 2 after viewing Krumpus.
Krampus is kind of a spiritual sequel to Gremlins.
Love this channel keep it up lads
Wasn't it Rick Baker who created Gizmo and the gremlins? Interesting, considering him and Rob Bottin(from The Howling) both designed iconic werewolves.
Baker did the Gremlins for the sequel, it was Chris Walas for the first.
Judge Reinhold. Is no fucke n judge. I am fucken king. And JC is king of kkings
@@GamerGuysReviews Thanks for the correction! I remember seeing a photo of Baker and one of the creatures and I was shocked for a sec. All three guys(Baker, Bottin, and Walas) were excellent at their craft.
I need to watch this again. Don't think I've seen it since '85 or so..

The neighbors story of Gremlins during ww2 is actually true. Fighter pilots reported such incidents of little mischievous being ripping up wings.
WHAT?!?!
It's also the basis for the Twilight Zone classic Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.
Actually the 'Gremlins'were mechanical malfunctions but Roald dahl did a story called Gremlins based on monsters in the machines of the plane.
wait the snow is wet so....
if you cut out the part where the gremlinis inside the snow then that fact for this movie is more acceptable for me.
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.

Phobe Cates...also in Fast times at Ridgemont High
Would have been better if it was "Don't feed hm directly after midnight".
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.

Watched this today in the theater. i loved it. 8/10
I always thought the midnight thing was weird is it midnight eastern central time what time are you using
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.

Stupid boy!
i love this classic
but one thing always bugged me... its winter and we have snow ice... isnt that water ..
Would love you guys to do Piranha!
Do Gremlins 2, an actually superior sequel.
I'm 28, and i love gremlins 2.
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
When are you going to do Gremlins 2?
Q: what was the purpose of making a PG rated Christmas movie instead of an R rated Christmas movie?
A: 5:27
My best Christmas movies....
Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
Die Hard
Gremlins
Krampus
Scrooged
Love the love for Drop Dead Fred ♥️😆
How do the Gremlins walk in the snow? Isn't snow just frozen water???
Misses Deagle would've been perfect for Ebenezer
Currencies? I thought her cats name was Donnabelle not Dollar Bill😂😂😂
God bless the donnabelle
This movie gave me nightmares as a kid

I like Gremlins, but the fake snow annoys the hell out of me.
Only a few men of culture know that Gremlins inspired Resident Evil 2.
