Hi Nia!😊 This film and the sequel "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" (1990) are a lot of fun. People are hoping with the release of the animated series it will spark demand for a third Gremlins film, made with mostly practical effects again. That film on TV you asked about is the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956). Most reactors use the 1978 remake version. That robot with the dad on the phone was "Robby the Robot". He was first seen in "Forbidden Planet" (1956), and became very popular. I guess you were a bit surprised by the dark humor that finds its way into the film after a short time. Great reactions to the original well made gremlins film, Nia!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
The dark humor caught me OFF GUARD cause it was supposed to be a Christmas movie 😂 I loved it though
The animated series is more kid related but people want the 3rd movie to be more dark while others want it to be more comedy like gremlins 2. I do want a more dark tone to it but also it being funny but not as wacky as gremlins 2.
But as for unique Mogwai they could use the neca Mogwai like brownie, Gary etc and maybe have one of the Mogwai from the gremlins recall fan film and stripe could return?
As for the gremlin design for when they transform stripe is one of them but a gremlin from the recall fan film aswell as a spotted gremlin, gremlin with a stripped design like a tiger, and maybe an albino gremlin.
The series was canceled....not sure if there was enough of a "spark" to propel us towards a second sequel....too bad
I was 10 when this came out......20 plus viewings all summer. One of my fave films...ever
The animated "Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai" is not cancelled. In fact, a second season was approved before the series even premiered. You may be confusing that it may not be rebroadcast on other networks besides HBO Max next season.@@timfahey7127
Ive watched this movie atleast 10 or more times and NEVER picked up on mrs degal calling xmas carolers / gremlims , GLUE SNIFFERS 😂😂😂
Given the way the dog attacked Mrs Deagle she had a point.
I always loved the part where Stripe blows his nose on the curtains before jumping out the window.
Mr Fuderman just used the term "gremlin" in a generic way that it was used in the war to mean something went wrong when there was no obvious reason. I don't think there was any racial component too it.
The same way people use "bug" when their computer doesn't work properly, (that term came from a real incident where a moth shorted out a computer in a lab)
From Fuderman's perspective, he risked life and limb to battle two countries who were invading other places. He certainly didn't expect that those very countries would surpass his own country and cause an economic downturn by causing local industries to shut down, him lose his job, and have their products sold back to him. Of course it also means his children and grand kids would be affected.
Of course he should have been mad at corporations and govts for allowing that to happen.
Japan and Germany had a lot of money poured into them by the US and Britain so their economies would be rebuilt after WW2 so they could make war reparations.
I kind of wonder if soldiers knew how it would turn out would they have bothered fighting?
I'd probably feel a bit salty too.
Check out the movies Tremors(1990) and The Lost Boys(1987).
Billy's car is a VW Beetle,a German car
The Gremlins were animatronic, and cost over $30,000 each. Security searched people's cars every day to make sure they weren't stolen.
The original idea was to use stop motion animation for the gremlins. Special effects wizard Chris Walas wanted to use puppets. Someone at Warner Brothers thought it would be a good idea to use spider monkeys dressed in gremlin costumes. They tested this in director Joe Dante's office, and it didn't go well. For some reason, the test monkey didn't like being dressed as a gremlin, and it went nuts, destroying Dante's office. After the animal trainer got the monkey back under control, Walas said, "So, puppets?"
When Warner Brothers received the first cut of the movie, they sent a note to Steven Spielberg and director Joe Dante complaining there were too many gremlins. Spielberg suggested cutting them all out and renaming the movie to "People."
At least one of Phoebe Cates' screams was real. In one scene, a big cockroach crawled out in front of her, and they used her reaction in the movie.
Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom inspired the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating. These two movies were too violent for PG, but not enough for R.
The original script was very violent, but Joe Dante and Steven Spielberg wanted to make it family friendly, so they changed the more violent scenes. Contrary to popular belief, there is no secret R-rated version of this movie.
Near the beginning of the movie you can see a wrecked AMC Gremlin (back then, "AMC" stood for "American Motors Corporation," not "American Movie Classics.") These cars are scarce and collectible today, and are now seen as the beginning of the end for AMC. The company renamed itself "Jeep Eagle Corporation" in 1988, and merged with Chrysler in 1990, six years after the release of this movie.
The dog's reaction on seeing Gizmo for the first time was genuine. It was truly startled by the appearance of the puppet.
Keye Luke was 78 years old when filming began, but he looked so good they had to rely on makeup to make him look old.
The movie at 12:06 is the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers from 1956. The same movie shows up at 13:10.
Each?!?!?! Daaaaaaaamn!!!!
Definitely watch the sequel, girl. You will love it. Its my favorite of the two. It's insanity.. Lol
Fun fact mogwai means demon in Cantonese
Its totally a fun kids movie
😂 bruhhhhhhhh
24:16 It has to be pure water because there's a part in the bar where you can see a Gremlin getting splashed with beer and nothing happens to him. Also in Gremlins 2 one of the gremlins gets covered in milk shake and doesn't multiply. So it seems it has to be straight water.
Oooh thanks for clarifying that! I didn’t even notice the beer
Fun fact: 1 in 100,000 Mogwai end up like gizmo which is why gizmo is so nice. The one the teacher had was nice and friendly but doing the experiments made the Mogwai angry which is why he ate. And then decided to kill the teacher out of revenge.
Billy's Mom is THE greatest action hero in all of cinema history! kerk
YES!!! a true G!!!
Loved it. You're so lovely.
Gremlins 2 (set in New York) is so much fun as well and basically just goes all out with all the more ridiculous shenanigans from the first one, and also has a bunch of meta elements making fun of certain parts in the original. It's really kind of the pinnacle of animatronics/puppetry/stop motion, very advanced stuff since it's from 1990 and everything had progressively gotten improved during the 80s. Then CGI slowly started to take over and that was the end of it, for the most part.
I love the sequel.
Just the presence of the horror God Christopher Lee alone! 🙌🏻
I’m really curious to see the next one now to see what they poked fun at! This was already wild enough, how could they take it to another level 😂
@NiaMakiReacts hehe.
I guess you'll have to wait and see, but they are THE NEW BATCH!!
You'll definitely find fun!
I'm just a huge fan of Christopher Lee and his presence in all he does.
Doesn't disappoint in this either.
Great reactor and take care Nia 👍🏻
the lore is that all mogwai are born as little shitheads. they have to mature for 100 years before they become good bois like gizmo.
100!!!!!!!! Man hats a LONG a-hole adolescent period 😂
@@NiaMakiReacts another cool fact no one ever mentions regarding this movie, Sam Wing, gizmo's owner, is played by Keye Luke, the original screen Kato in the 40s green hornet serial before Bruce Lee's portrayal!
luV part 2
While the movie takes place at Christmas, Spielberg didn't want it to be associated as a Christmas movie, so it was released in August. It didn't work
😂
My best friend: “Why you watching Gremlins it’s not Christmas.”
Me: I don’t want to talk to you. Don’t talk to me.
😂
Great reaction! 😊
I'm so glad that you decided to go ahead and post this reaction. And not wait until next Christmas. I love this movie so much! This is a Christmas movie that I grew up with in the 80s. And I 1000% agree! Gizmo is the cutest!
6:55 "Midnight? What timezone?" That’s that's always brought up during the reactions that I've seen for this movie. And it is a valid point. I'm guessing the timezone in where the Mogwai is. That point about the timezone is actually brought up again in the sequel.
17:54 - 18:57 Yeah. Billy's mom was a badass taking out the three Gremlins in her kitchen on her own.
Gotta say, Mrs. Deagle's death is one of the best movie death scenes. She deserved it after the way she treated that family in the beginning of the movie, and especially for the way she was talking about Billy's dog Barney.
The scenes when the Gremlins are in Dory's Tavern and the movie theater watching "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" have always been my favorite parts of the movie.
31:29 Gizmo saves the day!
I VERY HIGHLY recommend the 1990 sequel "Gremlins 2: The New Batch". It's not a Christmas movie, so you don't have to wait until next Christmas to watch it. LOL! And Gizmo is even cuter in the sequel.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
😂 that’s funny that I’m not the only one that asked about the time zone. Just wasn’t sure that where dad got gizmo and where their home was were in the same time zone lol
The whole "Foreigner" thing was a product of a certain time that things made in America, were superior. Yeah, the U.S got foreign cars and other items, but it was under the belief that those items didn't last long or work properly. My own father used to say similar things while I was growing up. I never really understood it myself, so I discarded it.
My theory is that the Gremlins are parts of Gizmo's mind. The "bad" parts, less civilized, friendly, etc.
Also, when Gizmo looks so disappointed when the new Gremlins "emerge", it was like "Oh no, not again!". Almost like all this has happened somewhere else, at some point?
This wasn't the orig script. The orig script was much darker until Spielberg bought the script and changed it . For instance : the mother gets her head chopped off - the gremlins destroy the town & kill almost everyone - the gremlins go to a Mcdonald. And instead of eating the food , they eat the customers & workers - the old man talks about Gremlins during WW2 - in a 1940's Bug's Bunny cartoon he reads what a Gremlin is from a book. And you see the definition. The gremlin in Bug's Bunny makes another appearance in the 1940's.
Snickers - for when you're not you when you're hungry
Exactly 😂
The Goonies and Gremlins are both written by Chris Columbus, who would go on to direct Home Alone and the first few Harry Potter films!
You should now put Gremlins 2 on the list. Not a Christmas movie, definitely more comedy than horror, but extremely meta and a great time!
Gremlins is an all-time classic, and the sequel is just as good. I can't talk about them around my girlfriend though, she's scared of them.
The animated HBO MAX series Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai goes into the rules (including a 4th rule) more plus the reason they exist the main character is the old man as a child
The reason why gizmo is more mellow apparently Mogwai are essentially immortal but for their first 1,000 years they are just pure chaotic creatures & he was one of if not the first of them
Actually, it's their first 100 years.
Hi Nia
Hi!
i'll take whatever curls i can get
Lmao just the two
Could you do a reaction video to Gremlins 2: The New Batch?
Anyone who has cats can totally relate to this movie, trust me...
Lmao that’s accurate!
The veteran recognized the Gremlim, implying that Gremlims were used as a weapon in WWII.
Gremlin was just a term for something that messed up the works in machinery and clock works. He didn't actually think they were a real thing. Remember, he said they put them in his watch- way too small if he knew how big they were.
He also said there was a “real” gremlin driving his plow. During the war the troops would use “gremlins” as an excuse to explain anything mechanical that went wrong, just for fun. It’s a real life term, and this movie was meant to be a play on that, not suggest these creatures were actually harassing troops during the war.
If you search a Bug's Bunny cartoon from the 1940's , he's actually reading what a Gremlin is from a book. And you see the definition & Gremlin.
Gremlins is a lot of cute holiday fun, juxtaposed by the darkness of Kate's story 😅
I always think about how much fun it must have been to work on all the gremlin puppets, especially all the ones for the bar scene.
The sequel is even crazier (and not holiday themed, so don't wait 😉)
Even crazier?!?!? Ohhhh boy!!!
@@NiaMakiReacts Oh yeah! There's a Key & Peele sketch to watch after about how insane Gremlins 2 is 🤣🤣🤣
Gizmo is the cutest little dangerous thing ever!! lol
Love these movies so much since I saw them as a child when they came out! Even had a Gizmo stuffed animal 😄I really hope you'll react to the second one too, it's not a christmas movie(imo this first movie definitely is one!) and also not scary, but a pure comedy and you'll love it!
when i was a small child living in Los Angeles in 1986, i was traumatized by the Christmas tree scene in this movie. i wouldn't go near them. and Christmas that year (1986), my parents and i went Christmas tree shopping. i was frantically crawling up my mom in absolute frenzied terror as we all made our way down the aisle on the outdoor market. the aisle was lined with Christmas trees on both sides 30 to 40 down. my dad couldn't understand what my problem was and was furious. my mom took the time to ask me through my whining temper tantrum. when she found out, she picked me up and held me away from the trees, slapped my father's arm, and said "I TOLD YOU WE SHOULDN'T'VE LET HIM WATCH THAT MOVIE!!!" i was 4 at the time. i couldn't help it. and yes, it bothered me soo much that i remember the event in great detail all these years later. i can still picture it in my mind. i think of this scene every time i hear any rendition of "Do You Hear What I Hear".
i no longer fear Christmas trees for that reason. now, i hear they could possibly have unhatched Praying Mantis nests in them. so yeah... that's i "no" from me dawg. artificial trees for me from now on.
Omggggggggg yeah I’d be constantly be looking in the trees for movement. When my cat was a little kitty he’d always go in the tree too lol any kid could 💩 their pants if they came downstairs to that. The eerie music was fun watching it as an adult but I guess it really changed Christmas for the younger viewers
@@NiaMakiReacts yep. like the movie said at the end, "so if your air conditioner goes on the fritz or your washing machine blows up or your video recorded conks out--before you call the repairman, turn on all the lights, checks all the closets and cupboards, look under all the beds, 'cause you never can tell. there just might be a Gremlin in your house..." never can be too careful.
What I caught as a kid was there was snow on the ground which is just frozen water.... LOL
I hope there is a reaction to Gremlins 2.
This is a good series I seen it a few times
This was "a fun kids movie" for 80s kids. Gen X was built different. 😭
😂 😂 fr fr
nia, you didn't show him, but i like the gremlin with popcorn bags on his ears in the movie theater
Awww dang! Sorry I cut that out
My boss brings her puppy to work all the time.
Omg I’m jealous 😂 sounds amazing
1. Keep them away from bright light.
2. Don't get them wet with water.
3. Never feed them after midnight.
Definitely a film that wasn't sure what genre it was in, apparently it was supposed to be a lot darker with a scene were Billy coming home and a gremlin rolling his mums head down the stairs.
The story about santa in the chimney is just so random as well.
Rolling down the… bruhhhhhhh!!!
nia, you didn't show it, but i like it at the end when gizmo says bye woof woof
nia, they took a sample of cat noises to make the song in the end credits
A lot of people wonder about that of why the new ones are evil. My theory is pretty basic. They are unaltered, bratty children. That's how children are. Gizmo had been parented, nurtured, and trained by the old man in the shop, so he was better behaved and had manners.
I saw this movie in 1984 I thought the kid was a teenager not a young adult
😂 I was like why is this grown working man still getting pets for Christmas 😂
I figured he might be just out of his teens but still living at home and helping out.
Furby was sued by the makers of Gremlins for Furby being too close and Gremlins won their case. One of the in-jokes Gremlins town Kingston Falls and the Christmas classic movie It's A Wonderful Life town of Bedford Falls uses the same town set.
Oh snap so this came first!!!
Gremlins and Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom are why we now have the [PG-13] rating today!
I was too young when my g-ma took me to see it in the cinema, but now it's my favorite Christmas horror/comedy!
Lmao g-ma probably was like aww a cute movie to take my grandson to! Then the horror unfolds 😂
@@NiaMakiReacts Funny thing is that after I recovered I still wanted all the Gizmo things! 🤣🤣🤣
12:09: That is the original ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ from 1956. There’s a remake of it, but I always preferred the original.
2nd movie is fantastic you should watch it 😁
Gremlins is absolutely a great kids movie. I watched it when I was a kid and turned out….. just…. uh… fine?
I always assumed that Gizmo was a good Mogwai because he’s been around a long time, was properly cared for and learned good behavior. The others are newborns and prone to bad behavior. Maybe given enough time a “bad” Mogwai could mature and act similar to Gizmo.
Ah I think that theory too but I can’t imagine disciplining the striped one
Should have watched this in December
It looks like she did. You do know people can record and upload at a later date, right?
Yeah I watched it ahead of time and planned to drop it during December, but I was in Kenya and forgot my drive with the files
I also put a community post and poll asking if I should drop the Christmas reactions anyway and people said yes
Pretty sure they all have to be taught to be nice like gizmo and seem like it happened more than once. Why else would the old man have gizmo in a cage 😊
