Gremlins 2 is a wild ride. It's both a sequel and a spoof of the first film.
And no, it is not a Christmas movie. Feel free to watch it any time.
Context to the WWII comment. Gremlins was the generic reason pilots would give for issues with their plains when stuff would just stop working or fuck up until the problem was diagnosed and fixed. Kind of a sarcasm thing
Parents had been complaining about the content in PG movies for years but Indiana Jones & Temple Of Doom (May 8) and Gremlins (June 8) caused a major uproar in '84. By August 10, 1984 PG13 had been created and Red Dawn was the first PG13 movie in theaters.
I remember that time period. I saw this in the movies when I was a kid. I couldn't understand why my mom was so upset after the movie. My nephew and I were excited afterwards. Talked about it all the way home. My mom was quiet and clearly pissed. Looking now as an adult, I understand.
i hope they see this, i throw this little fact out there sometimes
I remembered seeing Red Dawn in the theater. I was afraid we were going to kicked out because I was 7 and my sister, who took me, was 11.
As a parent now it does crack me up how parental guidance was never clear enough for parents of the past. Parents watch it first before you decide if it's suitable for your child 🤣
Bridgette's intense affection for Gizmo was both adorable and hilarious.
I mean gizmo is so cute so can you blame her?
@@elijahbaker781 right she really broken down!
"WTF Is a Zenith?" lol.. When he said "I told you we should have gotten a Zenith" He was talking about a Brand of TV :)
they were a brand of tv back in the day!
Gremlins 2 is what happens when the director of the first movie says, “I don’t want to make a sequel. It shouldn’t have a sequel.” then the studio pressures him into it and offers an unlimited budget, until he finally says, “Fine. You asked for this.” American pilots in WW2 blamed the malfunctions of their planes on “gremlins” which were supposed to be little monsters the Japanese used to sabotage them. That’s what the neighbor was talking about. I’m not sure how serious the pilots were about this explanation, but I know soldiers get some weird superstitions during war.
Gremlins are from the European theater of WWII. RAF pilots claimed Luftwaffe aircraft had issues due to Gremlins, which these claims were used as a morale boosting myth. American pilots also used this myth to blame malfunctions of their own aircraft on Gremlins. There are even a few "Looney Toons" cartoons making reference to Gremlins, with Bugs Bunny combating a Gremlin destroying the plane he is on.
Two things we know Bridgey definitely wants: a dragon and a mogwai. lmao
Also, I love how weirdly dark this film gets by Phoebe Cates' character. And you have to watch the unhinged sequel. It's amazing.
if you thought the first one was crazy the second one is even more chaotic and yes there are stuffed animals of gizmo and stripe
A gremlin was a fictional creature that always caused mischief, especially with aircraft. Whenever there was a malfunction it was blamed on gremlins in the machinery. Gremlins were notoriously causing airplanes to malfunction during the war. There was also a TV show called the Twilight Zone which had an episode of a gremlin trying to make an airplane crash. So that's where they got the name for these creatures in the movie. Zenith was a very popular brand back then. They manufactured tvs and other electronics, like Panasonic, which was one of their competitors.
"What's a Zenith" *cries in 70s/80s child who had a Zenith* Back when things were built to last, we had a Zenith that lasted close to 30 years including being shipped from our home in PR to the states & then 6 subsequent homes. And by shipped I mean in a container on a boat 😂 this is one of my favorite movies.
"What the f*** is a Zenith?"..... At that moment i realized how old i actually am. Like when people ask why the national anthem and TV going station going to static at the beginning of the movie Poltergeist.
random little context: what the drunk dude was saying about "gremlins in the war". In WWII it became slang to refer mechanical malfunctions with planes as being done by gremlins, this might have originated by pilots when in the air and all could maybe see blurriness and imagine it's small creatures digging into a plane.
in case nobody has said it yet, the mogwai were given lore in the novelization for the movie. they were created to be these pure spirited creatures that were sent to different planets to teach the creatures residing in them ways of peace to avoid extinction but they were highly unstable and untested when disseminated to each planet and only 1 in every thousand turn out good while the rest are evil due to a mutation.
gizmo knows this and is deeply saddened that because even though he turned out good, one slip up with water or eating food after midnight and he can cause mayhem. the book goes into some goofy writing territory.
31:10 If I'm not mistaken, that music is used in the Tales From the Darkside TV series that came on the air in 1984.
Please react to the sequel :
*Gremlins 2: The New Batch* (1990)
Also i reocmmend you react to :
★ *The 'Burbs* (1989) /starring *Tom Hanks* , *Corey Feldman* & *Carrie Fisher*
★ *Small Soldiers* (1998) /starring *Kirsten Dunst* & *Tommy Lee Jones* (voice)
Both movies Directed by *Joe Dante* (Gremlins Saga)
Small soldiers for sure!
When that Gummy Short Term Memory Loss kicks in! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As someone who grew up playing Gremlins on the NES, you need to watch Gremlins 2!!! It’s a blast watching your reactions. You both are super hilarious.
"We were born in the early 90s" lol
I was starting college at that time...😂
This is one of those perfect films that could have only been done in the 80s.
GREMLINS 2 IS A MUST NOW!! my favorite movie i can put on repeat and still find new things each viewing!
Absolute fever dream of a movie. It's damn near perfect
If you’re this confused on what’s happening boy you are going to have a trip watching Gremlins 2, it only gets more chaotic from here
I’ll never not love these chaotic creatures!
"It's PG, don't think they'll go that hardcore". Being a kid in the 80's, everything was hardcore.
The fact that many Gen X people watched movies like this at an early age, might explain some things about our sense of humor and other things..lol one of my favorites xo
this and also Red & Stimpy, my gross sense of humor is based on that show i feel
The 90s too. I watched this before I was 4 😂 same for the first 3 nightmare on elm street, all of the good Jason’s, and phantasm.
Actually, Furby was a Gizmo imitation. This toy sold even more than Furby in the 80s and 90s.
Gremlins is only a primer for the masterpiece that is Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Three basic rules for taking care of a mogwai:
1- No bright light- blinds it, kills it.
2- No getting it wet, it'll multiply.
3- No feeding it after midnight!!!!!
Awesome! Looking forward to Gremlins 2.
Gremlins part 2 is bat shit crazy. Definitely watch that one aswell.
Welcome to 80's PG movies, where death and murder are a common occurrence.
Love the review, although you straight terminated me when you asked what is a Zenith.(t.v. brand came out in the 40s and lasted til early 2000s when they became LG) and now I feel ancient LOL!
Chris Columbus directed the first 2 Home Alone movies, the first 2 Harry Potter movies, and 2010's Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief!!!!😁
Sooo... you want me to pay you to watch Gremlins? Your folks must be so proud.
Are you new to CZcams?
this was the first horror movie i watched and it terrified me at the time
And yes that’s mike from breaking bad
mothers in the 80s were just build differently
Zenith was a brand of TV.
You guys gota watch " shadow in the clouds", you will understand the thing about gremlins, planes and the war.
I still remember watching this and the sequel as a small child for the first time. Always loved Gizmo. 💕
Morgan Freeman voice: It turned out the gummies worked quite well
I always considered this as one of my classic movies to watch during the holidays. Loved watching up growing up.
Yes, Deputy Brent was played by Jonathan Banks.
You can find Chris Columbus’s original screenplay online. GREMLINS was originally written as a hard R horror movie. They eat Billy’s mom, tear out his little friend’s throat and kill everyone in the town but Billy, his girlfriend and his dad. Gizmo is also evil and leader of the Gremlins in the original.
they cut off the mom's head and throw it down the stairs when billy enters the home and they eat people at a mcdonald's from what i remember.
I'm so glad I found you guys! I'm just bingeing your content.
"This should be PG-13."
It was because of this movie and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (both released in 1984) that the PG-13 rating exists!
This movie was me of the main reasons pg13 was created. Also I see all the scream mask. Billy’s mom was also Dewey and tatums mom in scream.
What people dont realize is that Billys mom was actually the great grandmother of Ripley from Alien.
She a badass.
Also she was Dewey and tatums mom in scream.
Happy holidays both, so glad you watched this, it terrified many children in the 80's! Its not a comedy... 🤣 The mum is a total psycho.
Glad you enjoyed this classic. Now watch part 2 which is wilder and funnier. xx
The PG-13 rating did not come into existence until July 1, 1984.
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" was released on May 23, 1984.
"Gremlins" was released in June 8, 1984. (not Christmas!)
PG-13 was created as a middle ground between the PG and R rating due to criticism of the darker themes of both films, both associated with Spielberg.
Definitely disagree with your opinion it is a Christmas movie.
@@ZavaXavier No, it isn't. Taking place on December 25th doesn't make it a Christmas movie.
When are y’all going to do Gremlins2??? It’s literally the best movie of all time
Theres actually a band called Mogwai and its great.
If you think "Gremlins" is nuts wait to see the sequel....pure madness
Howie Mandel was the voice of Gizmo! Y'all gotta watch Little Monsters with him and Fred Savage, if you haven't seen it. Imagine live action Monster's, Inc. with more peepeepoopoo jokes.
Thanks for watching & reacting to Gremlins! Absolutely love it!❤ Merry Christmas!😊🎄🎅
so, yeah. unexpected mechanical problems in the war were jokingly said to be caused by "gremlins" There are a few bugs bunny cartoons where he is fighting a gremlin trying to sabotage a plane.
throw "bugs bunny gremlin cartoon" or the title, "Falling Hare" into CZcams search. the entire short is on here. Also this and Temple of Doom were the two PG movies that pushed the rating far enough to inspire the Ratings board to make the PG-13 rating.
i watched it at 8 yo. i was scared as fuck. and after that i watched jurasic park .. yeah my parents were irresponsible hahahaha. now i can watch the world burn in flamme i will have the american psycho face. growing in the 80's 90's what a time (sorry boomer moment)
Some ideas:
Eurotrip
Road Trip
American Pie(1,2,3, Band Camp, Reunion)
National Lampoons Van Wilder
My Boss's Daughter
National Lampoons Going The Distance
The Girl Next Door
National Lampoons Barely Legal
National Lampoons Dorm Daze
Varsity Blues
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
jizzmo LMAOAMO
I’m so excited!!
Bridgette's Gizmo reactions are the best!
PG-13 didn't exist when this movie was made ... and this movie, along with movies like "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Tank," were reasons why the PG-13 rating was created.
There had to be something in between PG and R.
Hey my dears.yo7 two have so much style LOL❤
Please make THE GREMLINS 2 THE NEW BATCH
My mom thought Gremlins was family friendly, yeah safe to say it took a while to convince her to let me watch it again. (P.S can you watch the Iron Claw?)
Walmart has gizmo plush
28:26 that’s hilarious that you said that. This was one of the movies that lead to the creation of the “pg-13” rating.
The other being Temple of Doom.
One of my Christmas traditions is to watch this film! It's the perfect mix of nostalgia comedy and horror 😂😂😂.
Great to watch with you guys! And a very merry Christmas to both of you and your family xxx
Mrs. Peltzer defending her kitchen is one of the best scenes in all of cinema, full stop
Not even CLOSE to sorry... but the FUNNIEST line in this Reaction was....
"Do you think they'll start KILLING people?!"
"No.... it's PG."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Edit:
"I think this movie should be rated PG-13!"
Guess what..... this movie, and the second Indiana Jones movie are the reasons why there **IS** a PG-13 rating!
Why hollywood , don't remake gremlins???
I worked at a theater as an usher when this came out, , I lost count of how many traumatized children came out, crying from either the violence they saw, or the Santa Claus is not real speech.😂
Don’t wait as long to watch the sequel. It’s proper bonkers!
*comment that says you must watch the sequel.*
Hi could you ever do like a video on you playing fortnite if not its ok
[PG-13] didn't exist yet. LOL!!
You have no idea how well the animatronics worked on the public in 1984. This sh*t looked REAL to us. That kitchen scene was freaky as hell.
Anybody notice this is just the 'back to the future ' set, the bank Billy works in is the cafe Marty meets his dad and you can see the clock tower, the cinema is the same one Marty crashed into at the end👍
Back to the future came out in 1985 so they used the Gremlins set.
Same burger king
You guys can totally watch Gremlin's 2 anytime. This is and has been my Christmas movie since I was 5 haha. Oh the 80's, it was a different time. Glad we were born in the 90's buddum cha
I am so happy that you folks recognize this as a Christmas movie!!
I was 12 when this came out. I wanted the stuffed (Yes Bridgette, they used to have life sized plush Mogwai's back in the 80's) one but I only got a smaller plastic one. Like an action figure size.
i was born in 1990 and have heard of these films but never saw them, i just never like creature films such as these!
Great reaction. It was Bridgette's face for me. Gizmo cuteness overload 😂
Merry Christmas ⛄ Everyone & Great Reaction To One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's
I just watched terrified and shit myself 😭 I can’t tell you how much I needed this fun video before bed! I always forget how fun gremlins is! Thank you!
I got to finish it! The first time it was taken down when I was about halfway through. The Gremlins theme song is so catchy. I love it. I used to have a plush Gizmo years ago.
The gremlin in the microwave was the most gruesome
Merry Christmas y’all ! Keep up the amazing work!
The lady flying up the steps was hilarious....the actress played on a tv show back in the late 70s called alice then got her own spinoff named Flo
Yeah… when you think about the whole “no feeding them after midnight” thing for even like a second, you really open a can of worms. lol.
Like y’all said, how exactly do the different timezones play into this? Also, when are you allowed to start feeding them again? 5am? 6am? 7:21 am? lol.
They really could’ve kept things much more simple/easier to understand had they simply made the rule “no feeding them while the sun is down/the moon is out”. But really it’s whatever. It’s still such a fun damn movie that it’s hard to really critique that part since it’s all just so silly!
Also, if my memory serves me right, I think that they touch on this rule in the second one. Though I don’t believe that it actually clears all the much up. lol. But I also, clearly, don’t really recall.
Also, _also,_ lol… I def recommend that you guys check out *Gremlins 2* as it’s also a ton of fun. (IMO anyway… but it’s also super nostalgic for me as well, so I could be SUPER off base!) However I will say that when you two go to watch it, strap the fuck in cuz that shit is absolutely WILD. lol.
people who watch this movie 👇
Im an 80's kid and remember this movie coming out. I didn't realize you guys were 90's kids. Have you seen The Karate Kid movies?? Another great 80's trilogies. I think I've heard Cody reference Mr. Miyagi before but if so, you guys should react to Cobra Kai. Cody, you were correct on both Christopher Co.umbus projects. He did the first two Harry Potter movies.
Funny, you should mention Gizmo looking like a Ferby, since there was a lawsuit filed by WB, suing Hasbro over them looking so similar.
28:26 This movie is actually one that triggered the creation of the PG 13 rating. It didn't exist when this movie was made.
Also temple of doom!
YESS BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO WATCH THIS this I one of my favorite movies
This film came out before PG-13 was a rating. I got to see it as a kid, and I did have a Gizmo doll. 🥰🥰
They made a Gizmo Furby in the 90s! To this day I still want one 😂
A Zenith was a brand of TV set. At 22: 48 you said you love this music. The Gremlin theme is first heard in the 1983 WB "Twilight Zone" movie, (which is free on CZcams) In story number 4 - "Terror at 20,000 Feet", a larger and different looking gremlin is on the wing of a passenger jet and is trying to crash it. Anytime there are gremlins on WB, you will hear the gremlin theme. In "Loony Toons Back in Action, Branden Fraser has to drive his old car and the gremlin music starts because it is an AMC Gremlin.
I tell ya what, I couldn't listen to the song "Do you hear what I hear?" without being creeped out about this movie when I was a kid!!
Gummies and Gremlins🤣🤣 sounds like a new game
I always questioned rule 3...don't feed after midnight well when was the end of rule 3 supposed to be and gizmo could eat again...2am, 6am, after sunrise?
I'm 53, watched this movie maybe 20, 30 times or even more, and I never asked myself that question !!! (My only thought was: "midnight, ok, but where in the world?")
Ok, so for the confused, it appears that the culprits for the age restriction were the Blender, Microwave and Stripe melting...as those scenes weren't pixelated first time around
Gremlins 2 is not a Christmas movie but it is amazing and insane. I might like it more than this one honestly
