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.

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!

Omg how amazing is this? It's simple, but it's so interesting to get all these locations in one spot but over 2 locations, Absolutely brilliant kurt 10/10 from me. Keep up the amazing work, and I'm looking forward to the next one.. 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.

15:41 funniest scene of an old lady being killed? Iol. Also, it's so sad to see those iconic locations gone or have been demolished. And I agree that Kate's story is the most depressing Christmas story ever, it freaked me out as a kid.
@cgimovieman6 ай бұрын
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.
@Stormtrooper536 ай бұрын
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.
