[@theaikidoka]

Billy's mother is a stone-cold bad-ass compared to him. That lady does NOT tolerate home invaders and I reckon she'd have cleaned up the town all on her lonesome lol. I love this movie for a number of reasons, but the WILD tonal shifts are part of the magic. In one scene you have Gizmo having his head bandaged, another has THAT story from Phoebe Cates. Gremlins is a totally rewatchable classic from a talented group of creators.

[@sparksdrinker5650]

This movie is a great example of why practical effects are better than CGI

[@erikbjelke4411]

I don't automatically agree. For instance, the stop-motion shot. I get why Joe Dante prefers/believes that there's a "charm" to stop motion, but that scene is just OBVIOUSLY stop motion. CGI would do better at making the Gremlins believable in that case. Likewise, there are some seams (some literal) in the mass of Gremlins in the theater that CGI would have solved had it existed. But yeah, on the whole, having something present on set the actors can interact with form emotions with (love or terror) is superior. Farscape is a great example. Jim Henson company puppets bringing aliens like Rygel and Pilot to life, and the actors being able to physically interact with the puppets, the puppeteers being able to improv right alongside the actors, made a kind of magic. The first time Crichton hit Rygel, the bean-counters panicked because the puppet is expensive and breakable, the puppeteers were excited because physical interaction sells the reality of the creature.

[@peperino25]

@@maplenutsreact you're welcome! i want to give some recommendations : *_solution to c0piright issues_* IMAGE EDITION : - Edit the movie scenes with % of transparency (and/or text) - Flip the image of the movie from Right to Left AUDIO EDITION : - Put the volume of the movie lower than the volume of your microphone (not too low). (Statics, White noise & your comments , make little distortion to the audio) - Record the audio of your reaction separately from the audio of the movie, that way you can mute/edit the audio/image of the movie without muting/editing the audio/image of your reaction. those edits helps a LOT with the alg0rithm PLEASE REACT TO *Rush Hour 2 (2001)* WITH THE BLOOPERS

[@davidanderson1639]

The street Billy & his parents live on is Colonial Street, which is on the Universal Studios backlot. Colonial Street was also the location for The ‘Burbs…& interestingly Corey Feldmans character in The ‘Burbs lived next door to the house that was formerly 1313 Mockingbird Lane…the home of The Munsters. The Kingston Falls exteriors were also shot in Courthouse Square on the Universal backlot. Courthouse Square was the location for Hill Valley in Back To The Future. The cinema the Gremlins watch Snow White in, is the same that Marty crashes into….& the bank Billy works in is the same place that was used for the diner in Back to The Future.

[@Texy88]

The bit in which Gizmo multiplied after Pete (Corey Feldman) accidentally knocked the jar of water onto him was done by using balloons covered in fur that were gradually inflated.

[@Funtime_Foxington]

his name was pete not adam lol

[@matthewroddy8292]

Definitely recommend Krampus (2015), Scrooged (1988) and Batman Returns (1992)

[@bobcobb3654]

Spielberg was being kind of a prankster with this one. I was a kid when it came out, and all the TV ads were cut to focus mainly on Gizmo, often not even showing the monsters. Then there were toy commercials, McDonalds ads, etc, and it was all marketed as, “Steven Spielberg, the creator of ET, presents.” Imagine parents reactions when they took the kids to this and saw that it was definitely not ET part 2. And Warners doubled down for a long time. The later VHS copies were still released as “Warner Family Entertainment.”

[@maplenutsreact]

That's so wild! I can't believe they were able to pull that off haha

[@nubbin0036]

Phoebe Cates tells the DARKEST Christmas story ever!

[@maplenutsreact]

Right!? I couldn't believe that!

[@erikbjelke4411]

In the commentary, Joe Dante talks about Kate's speech being a HUGE sticking point. The executives hated it, and demanded Dante cut it out. He refused, believing first that it was a big mistake to set up "Kate hates Christmas" and then never pay it off, but more that he felt the speech encapsulated the tone of the movie as a whole: on the face of it, it's ridiculous. "Your Dad was DUMB enough to try and ACTUALLY climb down the chimney like Santa Claus? WHILE holding a ton of presents? YOUR FATHER WAS AN IDIOT!" But if someone actually had that happen to them, was telling you that story face-to-face, you'd have to try and empathize with them, respect the tragedy and horror of it. Even Steven Spielberg wasn't a fan, but while he was a producer, he considered "Gremlins" Joe Dante's film, and if Joe insisted it stayed, Steven wasn't going to cut over his objections. Apparently, up until the film was loaded into projectors in movie theaters to start being shown, the studio was trying to get it cut, prepared to sent letters to all the theaters to physically cut the scene out of their prints.

[@IcarusDrowning-gz8se]

This is how you make a 1980s children’s movie: make tons of cute creatures and then murder them in every horrible, disgusting way you can imagine. Oh! And don’t forget to break Santa’s neck and leave him stuffed in a chimney for a few days. In case they don’t get it, be sure to outright tell the audience, in no uncertain way, that Santa doesn’t exist! 😂 The 1980s kids’ movies made me the psychopath I am today 😂 It’s so messed up though! I loved it. I even bought the book, which was an adaptation of the movie. The 1980s did everything backwards… and that’s the way we liked it 😂

[@RaymLovesEggs]

You wanna see something realllllyyyy crazy... GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH.

[@periechontology]

Bleh

[@maplenutsreact]

I honestly can't imagine anything being more crazy than this one haha.

[@jbmopar1971]

Lots and lots of Easter eggs in this one... This movie and the second Indiana Jones are the prime reasons we have pg13 now, someone mentioned the clock tower is from back to the future, that's the whole town where the skateboard scene takes place. When Billy is talking to his dad on the phone, hgwells time machine is in the background, then disappears with the blip sound. And Howie Mandel is the voice of Gizmo (kaka)

[@BigGator5]

"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: Theatrical movie debut of Zach Galligan. Location Location Fact: The set for Kingston Falls is the same one used for Back to the Future (1985). Both movies were filmed on the Universal Studios backlot. PG-13 Rating 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 rating. 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. Mythology Fact: A gremlin is a mischievous folkloric creature invented at the beginning of the 20th century to originally explain malfunctions in aircraft, and later in other machinery, processes, and their operators. Depictions of these creatures vary widely. Stories about them and references to them as the causes of especially inexplicable technical and mental problems of pilots were especially popular during and after World War II. 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.

[@longtallshorty5791]

Ok.

[@maplenutsreact]

Okay! The Mythology fact! I remember seeing an old Bugs Bunny episode where there was this little Gremlin flying a plane, and I couldn't stop thinking about that when the neighbor in this movie kept talking about Gremlins in machinery!

[@JEFFYjackass]

Please do Bill Murray Scrooge. I'm sure someone already said it but Gizmo was voiced by Howie Mandel. Same voice as Bobby from Bobby's World lol and Skeeter from The Muppet Babies

[@Texy88]

In the bit where Billy bandages Gizmo's head after he falls into the dustbin when dazzled by the mirror, when he opens the cabinet the camera moves to momentarily put Gizmo off-screen. This was so that an also-off-screen crew-member could switch the Gizmo puppet to a different one better suited to the scene in question.

[@maplenutsreact]

Oh wild, I never would have caught that!

[@WheresWaldo05]

Not horror related. But the life and adventures of santas clause. The old one that looks more like claymation. I think it might be stop motion. Has a tiny bit of lord of the rings or famtasy elements to it that makes it unique to all the other stuff like this i grew up with.

[@KrazyKat007]

This movie was largely responsible for the PG-13 rating. Before that movies where PG (For most audiences) or R rated. This movie was not Friday the 13th Calibur R rated but it was also not a movie every kid could handle. It fell in between both. So they made PG 13 to cover those movies.

One of my favorite childhood movies. I was 13 the year it came out. It was directed by Joe Dante, a director whose films I grew up watching. The original Piranha from 1978; The Howling, a werewolf movie with the mom from E.T. ; a segment for 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie; Innerspace; The Burbs, with Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher; Matinee; Small Soldiers and Loonet Tunes: Back In Action, a blend of live action and animation, with all the classic Looney Tunes characters and Brendan Fraser. His movies made my child and teen years amazing and wonderful.

[@positivelynegative9149]

For more little creatures, watch Critters (1986) and The Gate (1987). Although they wouldn't be your best-performing videos, I think they're worth reacting to. 😃

Originally, Stripe and Gizmo were the same character. This changed when executive producer Steven Spielberg insisted one of the Gremlins be a good guy with whom the audience could identify. Director Joe Dante expresses that this decision was the reason why the film is fondly remembered. A different kind of Christmas movie is Violent night (2022)

[@deusexmachina2222]

Here's some nerdy info dumping: 1. The term 'gremlins' comes from WWII era superstition/inside jokes that when the mechanical devices/planes etcl would malfunction/have bugs... They'd say it was the 'gremlins' that got into the planes etc (actually, it might mostly be an airforce thing) 2. The set is actually the exact same set for back to the future hill valley (the theater is the same one that the DeLorean crashes into, and the bank is where the Cafe is) 3. this movie is responsible for the "invention" of pg13 (before this, in the USA, there was only G, PG, R, and X)

[@deusexmachina2222]

4. Mogwai in mandarin (Chinese) means demon

[@kris198921]

Also gremlins 2 was made as a parody of the original even though its also a sequel

[@steamro11r]

Us 80s kids were just raised different

[@fluorescentmilkshake]

_Scrooged_ 1988 is easily the next most interesting Unconventional Christmas movie unless you haven't seen _Edward Scissorhands_ already. _Scrooged_ would be more supernatural horror-comedy (and drama and romance), _Edward Scissorhands_ is more tragic, whimsical, and operatic.

[@maplenutsreact]

Oh wow, those both sound so interesting!

[@michaelschwartz8730]

Ever since I saw it when it was new in the summer of '84, Gremlins has been a Christmas favorite for me. Mrs. Deagle yourself if you don't understand why this isn't just a Christmas movie, it's THE Christmas movie 😈

[@cmlemmus494]

To answer a recurring question, yes, this is a horror-adventure film aimed at young teens. It's a slightly older version of shows like Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark? (though those came later). Not too scary for adult horror fans, but gross in a way that kids tend to like without being too explicit. You'll notice that all the human deaths happen in ludicrous ways where we don't see the body and there's no nudity or sexuality beyond nervously asking for a date and a fairly chaste kiss. By the way, since you like cheesy horror with little puppet creatures, Full Moon Features specialized in that. They were a super low budget, direct-to-video company back when you could survive based on the rental market. They're best known for the Puppet Master series, but I prefer Subspecies. My favourite murderous tiny creature series, though, are Ghoulies and Critters.

[@Scallycowell]

I love how the Gremlins movies are basically PG excuses for R-rated gore Also… Showing the water cup spilling on Gizmo creating five and then the single drop creating one was a brilliant choice, because when Stripe jumps into the pool we already know that volume of water is what determines how many are created.

[@UberNoodle]

@27:48 that's a clever and subtle reference to when ET hid among the toys in E.T., except Stripe isn't bothering trying to blend in. I hadn't noticed it before. But Joe Dante directed this film as produced by Steven Spielberg. And you could say the whole movie is Dante's nod to Spielberg, but he continued to develop that style, such as in The Burbs, which is a fantastic black comedy.

Kate’s story about the death of her father is something the director refused to cut from the film. In a way it’s a perfect representation of the movie. It’s dark but also absurdly funny. If I was forced to pick an apocalyptic scenario for our world, I’d go with Gremlin outbreak. Our destruction would at least be hilarious and entertaining.
