The so-called "Brain Gremlin" was voiced by longtime stage, screen, and television actor, Tony Randall.

Back in the day, the brain gremlin was in all the trailers. I wish I could have seen this the first time without knowing he would talk. Your reaction was absolutely priceless!

"It's still sitting on my shelf, unfinished" That right there how you know she's a true artist

I love when a reactor understands, and gets into the spirit of a film. Your reaction to the practical effects mirror my own, as I always wanted to be involved with special effects after watching Star Wars a million times as a wee boy. This was something special for us effects and puppetry nerds. It's fair to say that Joe Dante and Rick Baker had carte blanche to do whatever they wanted this film, and boy did they use that to full effect for Gremlins 2. Also, there was an incredible Gremlins 2 Nintendo game released, where you get to play as Gizmo the entire time!!!! Fun stuff....Great movies make for great memories, and I love to see people enjoy these types of films as much as we did back in the day.

In real life, Christopher Lee was one tough, brave SOB. He was a hero in WWII and a real life model for Ian Fleming when as Lee's office mate, he developed the character of James Bond.

Liked for hatred of modern architecture and appreciation for gothic cathedrals. Peak aesthetics👍

The original GREMLINS, as written by Chris Columbus (Director of HARRY POTTER and HOME ALONE) was more of a horror movie, but Steven Spielberg wanted Gizmo to be a lovable little creature, so that's why the change happened.

I love her love of the arts. I'm an Artist too. BTW anyone watching, she does fantastic work.

The special effects artist who designed the Mogwai and Gremlins in the first movie wasn't available for this film, so they hired the legendary special effects artist Rick Baker. In my opinion, his work in this film is superior to the first. Gizmo looks cuter and is more expressive, while other Mogwai all look different, and the Gremlins look more realistic. Although they're never mentioned in the film, the other Mogwai have names. The grumpy looking one and buck-toothed one are named George and Lenny, and their names, personalities, and appearances are based on the two main characters from "Of Mice and Men". The googly-eyed one is named Daffy, after Daffy Duck. The scary looking one named Mohawk, and its implied that he's a reincarnation of Stripe from the first movie, which is why he enjoys torturing Gizmo so much.

There is no Gremlins 3, but it has now been announced to be a go project.

The way your talking about modern architecture or even overly simplified designs is how I feel in general as an artist myself. Really detest the lack of creativity and just how sterile everything looks these days. Aside from that, loved your reaction! I saw your reaction to the first movie and I had a feeling you were gonna absolutely adore this film. It’s one my all time favorite films. And it’s bonkers from beginning to end. 🖤

The Critters movies for sure lol

I was really into these films when I was about 12 years old, this one introduced me to the Lon Chaney Sr. version of Phantom of the Opera which I was reading the book of at the time. This was a long time ago so I might be wrong, but I think I remember reading some trivia at the time that the original plan for the first movie's script was for Gizmo to become a gremlin at the end so that he could fight Stripe.

Back in the day, there was a trend of sequels of movies that start out in the rural or remote areas, moving the action to the city as a sort of "new challenge" or "let's see how they deal with being in the city" or for "change of pace". Reversal of dynamics, etc. Predator 2, Critters 3, Gremlins 2, Short Circuit 2, many others. One could say Crocodile Dundee 2 starting in the city and going back to Australia counts, as well. It's a trope when done well and a cliche when done not so well.

I saw this in the cinema when I was about thirteen and when it got to the bit where it looks like the projector malfunctioned the whole room groaned and booed... and then freaked out and collapsed laughing. It's my favourite cinema memory. There was also a different sequence for home video with channel hopping, which is worth seeking out.

YES!! So happy you did the second one too! 🥰

The thing about the gremlins getting wet is that the less water they get wet by the more time it takes for the young ones to grow. But since the sprinklers literally did not stop it took barely any time for the young ones to fully grow into gremlins. It sounds wrong but even once the young ones are born they start immediately multiplying too.

They got a massive budget for the second one.

Darn! Ya didn't remark on my favorite - the VEGETABLE gremlin that pops out of the salad. That's my only complaint though. Ya, I wouldn't say hey're really INTENTIONALLY MURDEROUS. They're just full of vice and really reckless, and the death and destruction wrought by them is a result of THAT. I prefer living in the SUBURBS because that way your IN BETWEEN the city and country, rather than completely in one or the other.

NICE VIDEO REACTION the gremlin female was amazing

Love the fact that rich guy, didn't had any nefarious motives. He just was... "genius airhead" I don't know how to else describe him.

Now you have to watch the Key and Peel "Gremlins 2 pitch meeting" sketch 😀

The movie critic used his actual review for the original Gremlins. He happily did this cameo

It's canon that the black and white Mogwai who turns into a spider is Stripe reborn that's why he knows Gizmo's name and why he looks so Gremlin-like to start with.

Oh, and I love this the best! This prompted a a lot of Gremlins drawings and the spider-gremlin is the coolest thing ever. Bonus points also for Christopher Lee, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, all the movie and pop-culture references, Surprise! You're Dead! by Faith No More and the nightmare Miss Piggy.

There is only two movies of the Gremlins. Some news came out a few years ago that a third film was in production, but I think the craziness of the pandemic and lockdowns delayed production.

On re-watch, that Lincoln's Birthday monologue give a bit of insight, when, in both films, Kate reacts pretty strongly to a gremlin who 'flashes', by kicking it in the fork.

Both Gremlins movies are so good. If you haven't seen Legend (1985) with Tim Curry, he's in some insane makeup and prosthetics.

John glover and Christopher lee two all time greats

Love the artwork at start and yeah I've loved this movie since I was a kid. Both Gremlins films are fantastic fun and in different ways. :)

Hope you had a great New Years Eve 💙🙂 The reason Christopher Lee is in this is because earlier he was in the sequel to The Howling, which he regretted doing. When he meet Joe Dante, who directed the 1st Howling movie, he apologized to Joe for being in the sequel & said he owed him a favor. And thus, Joe casted Lee in this movie as a favor. Dick Miller ALWAYS have a role in a Joe Dante movie, it's like with Bruce Campbell being in Sam Raimi's movies 😉🙂 There's been talks about a 3rd movie for years, but it never happend. There was even a suggestion for a plot where Gremlins are rampaging in Las Vegas. They did release a prequel animated series last year, not a huge fan of the almost polygon animation style. Haven't seen it. Search the Mountain Dew commercial where Zach Galligan reprises as Billy & Howie Mandel again voices Gizmo. That commercial is basically a pitch for a possible 3rd movie! 😃🙂

I was lucky enough to get some promotional tickets to see this movie at a sneak preview the night before it actually opened. I really liked the first movie, but knew nothing about the second other than it was a sequel. We were all watching the movie, having a good time, when the darned film stutters and melts. Figures! First night, and the film breaks. What are the odds of... oh, wait... oh, no! Aargh! They got us! Yes, we were all totally suckered in by the melted film gag, which made it all the funnier. There are so many good jokes in this one, and some of them are in the background as other stuff is going on. Ted Turner (one of the two influences for Mr. Clamp) had a habit back then of colorizing old black and white movies for his network. So what do they do for the movie? "Casablanca. Now in color. With a happier ending!". Then there's the message for the guy to move his car because it is old and dirty, the classic Canadian dessert the chocolate moose... just so much fun stuff. But the brain gremlin is definitely my favorite. "Has there been a run on the banks yet where you are? It's brutal here. We're advising our clients to put everything they have into canned food and shotguns". Or when he's talking about what they want to see in the city. "There's also street crime. But I believe we can see that for free." Poor Gizmo gets absolutely brutalized. Some of the tortures they put him through are horrendous. A lot of people see the photocopier scene and miss the point. Bright light is painful to gremlins, and can kill them. And what light is brighter than that darned photocopier? It's quick enough that it's just horrifically painful rather than lethal, but it's happening over and over and over.... As much as I like Gremlins, I absolutely adore Gremlins 2. It is utter chaotic lunacy, in all of the best ways.

Definitely looking forward to some Critters reactions.

I'm commenting too much, but here we are....I do believe humanity was never meant to be surrounded by concrete and packed together so closely. Our collective energies feed off one another, and I do believe it has had a negative effect on our "collective conscious". The current zeitgeist of anxiety and madness has so much to do with our disconnect from nature. My favourite podcast "Mysterious Universe", from Australia, has discussed these ideas far more eloquently than I ever could. I do recommend that podcast, along with the KZfaq channel Defunctland. That channel's long form docu-series on Jim Henson will reaffirm your love of his genius. Thanks for doing what you do, and I am so happy to have a like minded person to re-enjoy these films with.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but the super goofy one is called Daffy and named after Daffy Duck, most folk only know Daffy as the cranky sarcastic guy who often gets tricked by Bugs Bunny when they're in toons together but Daffy actually started out being really.... daffy! As in crazy, just like this Gremlin. Watch a really, really old Daffy cartoon and he's crazy and bouncing about and laughing maniacally. :P (apologies if you already know this) :)

I love how you went speechless at the Brain gremlins introduction. He's my favourite gremlin.... second is probably the vegetable gremlin, wtf.

Love the setup you got going. Awesome show 👏 Keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍 😀

This movie is so fun .

Gremlins 2 is basically a joke about "how we didnt need a Gremlins 2", according to director Joe Dante.. who only agreed to come back for a 2nd film (making the 1st one almost gave him a nervous breakdown) when WB gave him carte blanche as long as he made a movie with Gremlins in it for Summer 1990. A few facts: * Joe Dante finally got to fully flex his Looney Tunes fandom with this movie. Aside from all the humor, he had Looney Tunes animation legend Chuck Jones animate the intro and outro. Chuck had a cameo in the bar in Gremlins 1, and also Dante's "Innerspace". Looney Tunes actually has 2 classic WW2 era cartoons featuring gremlins (Falling Hare and Gremlins From the Kremlin). *Composer of both films, Jerry Goldsmith makes a cameo at the yogurt counter * Brain Gremlin's accent, provided by actor Tony Randall, is whats called a "mid atlantic" accent.. an "taught" accent common among upper crust New Englanders. Its not quite British, not quite American... probably has more in common with Austrailian by accident. *Gizmos black arm band is a teaditional way of morning the death of someone, in this case, Mr. Wing. *theres an 80s commercial featuring Mr. Wing lecturing Gizmo about teen drunk drivng 😂 in my head canon, his grandson who sold Billy's dad Gizmo got in a DUI and thats why hes not in G2 🤷‍♂️ *No CGI, all practical. Only CGI is the animated CLAMP logo on the tvs. Rest is puppets and animation. * Clamp is supposed to be an amalgam of (80s) Donald Trump and Ted Turner, founder of CNN and a dozen other tv networks. Clamp was supposed to be the villian but John Glover was so charming they ended up redeeming him.. Dante said he regrets that now 😂 *Makeup fx genius Rick Baker redesigned Chris Walas' Gizmo and Gremlin designs... making them cartoonier.. which works for the tone. *there are 2 Breaking Bad cameos in this film.. if you know, you know ;)

"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of every child"....except maybe Gremlins....

Hahaha! I've been playing morrowind lately. I raided a few ancestral tombs just before watching KZfaq. This video's background music made me though the game failed exiting properly. I thought the window died but the game somehow kept running and playing its music. It rs embarrassing how much it took me to figure what was happening.

There is no Gremlins 3...yet. There is a script as of 2020 and people are working to get it made but there isn't much on it yet. Some have speculated maybe late 2025 but that seems more like a guess. Fingers crossed.

I love everything about the Gremlins movies, including Gizmo. Of course he's even cuter in this sequel than he was in the first movie.

brilliant react Skeletalk

Also recommended are TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE, INNERSPACE and EXPLORERS!

Personally this is my favorite Gremlins movie. I loved how speechless you were when the Brain Gremlin started talking. One of the few times where two films were more than enough to satisfy the fans. I'm so happy that you reacted to this movie. Few ever do. I really want a replica of both the mogwai and Gremlin of Mohawk. Thank you again for another FANTASTIC reaction. So happy you able to see and enjoy this movie. Till next time, be safe and Keep up the GREAT WORK.❤❤👍👍😊😊

I do find this film fun, i think the updated version of the theme tune is good, too. It's like anxiety and mischief in musical form.

Awesome reaction keep it up 👍🏽

Dante don’t want to do a sequel so they paid him loads of dosh to make it with creative freedom, and we ended up with this and I’m HAPPY. Also no CG in any scenes, stop motion was used for the Bat Gremlins and Miniature for the elocution scene.

See SMALL SOLDIERS, by the same director Joe Dante....it's a lot of fun!

If you're into collectibles, there are amazing figurines of the Gremlins by NECA, including the brain gremlin, bat gremlin and spider gremlin. I have some of these amazing creature designs on my shelf and they are fantastic. As for a third film, there isn't one yet as of writing this. But there has been talk for years about a third movie. If it happens, fans absolutely want practical effects, not CGI gremlins.

I'm gonna make a recommendation... Pumpkinhead! Okay, now I'm gonna sit and watch you react to this fever-dream of a movie.

Hey girl, if you look it up, there are videos & photos of some scrapped hybrid gremlins they ended up not using for this film. Two of which were an elephant gremlin with a trunk & a rhino gremlin with a large horn. They look really cool.. When you said you wanted to see more, it totally made me think of that. I think I saw it on KZfaq. Great reaction as always..❤

I have a recommendation: Dog Soldiers (2002) Set in the Scottish Highlands.

If you want to see more of Phoebe Cates (especially in a comedic sense) can't go past Drop Dead Fred, which may sound familiar if you're a Rik Mayall fan. There's also the very iconic (although NSFW) Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I wouldn't call the changes the Gremlins undergo in this movie 'evolution', they are more like mutations. Also, the electric powers are not quite like those of the Flash, the Flash is more about super-speed (even though he can produce electricity sometimes). Electricity is more the thing of Electro, the Spider-Man villain.

Billy’s home town was the Universal Studios backlot.

Well if you like this one I'm pretty sure you'll like critters 1&2 and also I can't believe I forgot to mention check out Monster Squad from 1987 ...also great reaction as always 👏👏

If you enjoy puppets, you should watch Team America World Police.

That guy was not Dracula!!! He was Fred from the 60's show called the Munsters.. Billy even called him Fred.

I agree with you about modern architecture. Bring back the Greco-Roman style. How about some oriental style? Nordic is also good.

Loved your dumbfounded reaction to the professor gremlin and the bat gremlin just speechless I loved that lol 😂💠💠💠💠💠

Please react to ★ *The 'Burbs* (1989) _/starring _*_Tom Hanks_*_ , _*_Corey Feldman_*_ & _*_Carrie Fisher_* ★ *Small Soldiers* (1998) _/starring _*_Kirsten Dunst_*_ & _*_Tommy Lee Jones_*_ (Voice)_ Both Directed by *Joe Dante* (Gremlins Saga) BONUS TRACK 🔥 *The Frighteners* (1996) _/starring _*_Michael J.

Couldnt agree more with basically everything you said this video lmao, live outside the city too, easy to visit.. but i love seeing huge citys in VR lol, the lights are cool, so i get that, but its very calm here

I think it would be really cool if you would react to the key and peel writers room sketch for this movie I think you get a big kid out of it I love your reaction by the way

Love your reactions, and am so glad that you reacted to this fever dream of a film! Critters is a fantastic series with adorable balls of murder lol. I'd also recommend the Puppet Master series for some cool puppetry. Pumpkinhead has great practical effects too.

NECA Does some awesome Gremlin toys

he only "third" Gremlins production I've learned about is a CGI animated series that aired on MAX (a streaming service associated with Warner productions) last summer. Titled "Gremlins, the Secrets of the Mogwai" it takes placed in 1920s Shanghai revealing how Mr. Wing, the elderly shopkeeper, met Gizmo when he was a boy (Wing, that is). I don't have the service, so I haven't seen the series as a whole, but various people have posted clips her upon KZfaq. It even provides an origin story for the Mogwai, one steeped in Chinese type mythology. Oh, while the "Brain" gremlin died in this movie, he proved popular enough that the digital series revisited the concept. George Takei (Sulu of Star Trek) voices the character.

Ah one of my favorite movies growing up. Im glad you enjoyed it!

I love how this film made fun of 80s n 90s Trump (Clamp). I'm mean it's not like Trump would ever take over and we would end up with a bunch of gremlins...wait...

By the way your artwork at the beginning of the review is amazing Chuck Jones Warner Bros original creator of the Looney Tunes cartoons did the all the cartoon features Rick Baker did the Gremlins for this film You know him from An American Werewolf in London Katie As they were not his design originally hr created the different Gremlins

21:55 "Can we be a bit more obvious like that in real life" There is a 2009 film called "The Invention of Lying" and in the start of the movie, the entire world is "more obvious" because no body invented lying yet.

Watch Ghoulies next. There’s a bunch of Ghoulies franchises but I think you’ll like Ghoulies.

CGI looked god-awful at this point. This is all really really great practical effects work! Some of the best puppetry and animatronics ever, and some really cool stop-motion.

There's also Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai series which is a cgi show and goes into detail about where Gizmo comes from and how they end up with Mr Wing

Mogwai!

Happy New Year pretty lady 🎉. It's been a minute since I've seen this, so let's go 😋

SO GLAD you’re reacting to this. A bunch of people I follow did the first gremlins now I’m just annoyed I don’t know when they’ll watch this one.

Google is not your friend with the question how many Gremlins Films are there, only 2 films (two of the best though - favourite one depends on my mood with these two) that 3rd one it shows is fake. Glad Critters has been mentioned to you, that and the second one are fun. Some of my favourites (when it comes to effects and make up) that are rarely reacted too and I'll think you'll enjoy are Waxwork (1988), Troll (1986 not the second one - god not the second one), The Company of Wolves (1984), House (1986), House II the Second Story (1987), Little Shop of Horrors (1986) and Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight (1995). Also Legend (1985) and Never Ending Story (1984) for fantasy.

I recommend watching the rest of the alien franchise . I don't care what anyone says I think all four of the original movies are Great. Also did you watch the remake to evil dead I think it was twenty twelve or twenty thirteen It has wild practical effects

No CGI. It didn't exist.

Great reaction but why do I have the impression I’m playing Skyrim while watching this..?

You should check out the munchies, it's similar to the gremlins and just as fun

LOL. I'm literally doing another playthrough of Morrowind right now! 😅

“Dolls” 1987.

If you’re interested in getting one, that replica gremlin prop you saw at the convention is from Trick or Treat Studios. I got one it’s amazing, it’s $250, they got a generic Gremlin or Stripe, they also have a Gizmo

Do you do requests or suggestions for reactions?

Beautiful Work!🤗💕 Will catch this when get a min! See ya! ✌️🌎❤️

i heard christopher lee didn't want to do this film, but he did it to return a favor for a friend. and he's a man of his word. I do have some film recommendations mostly with putters. i must recommend the whole critters saga, 1-4 and two of their newest movies (i forget what dates they were made but i know the latest was 2018 the older films were in late 80's and early 90's another film recomendation is called meet the feebles, it's like the muppet show but on crack with a female hippo instead of a female pig character. it is a litte extreme, but the puppets are amazing. I love the spinx female cat puppet she's a mean character and only in 4 scenes all short but her design is so pretty.

Love the art! Is it done digitally? Or is it done with traditional materials and scanned in?

I love these movies! The designs for the Gremlins in this one are fantastic. Between the two this is my favorite! Anything that breaks the fourth wall serious or comedic I love and wish more tv shows and movies would do. Critters is such fun of course I am a bit on the strange side as I laugh at all things horror, but what is the point in being normal I am not washing machine after all. Boring.

I think the prase you are looking for is: over the top... everything was dialed up to 11

Nice, just finished making snacks

Gotta watch the keye and peele skit about gremlins 2.

skele, i can't hear the movie above the music, can you redo the video with out the music overlay?

Hi Katie first off Happy New Year hope you had a good one, also I'm glad you enjoyed this one I like both but the second one just a little bit more, mostly because of Christopher Lee he will always be my favourite Dracula, but you are correct it does have a better story line than the first and the talking Gremlin was such a good addition to the story, Also agree with you about the ugliness of modern buildings, the county I live in Oxfordshire has some very beautiful buildings especially Oxford itself, also I live in a village in The Cotswold part of Oxfordshire which has some very stunning buildings in it's self so I'm surrounded by amazing architecture, I have only ever been to London a handful of times and it was fun place to visit but hell no I would not want to live there, As for Gremlins 3 it maybe released sometime in 2025 I say maybe as they only have script at the moment and nothing else from what I've read, so it's a case of watch this space, also will you be drawing a spider gremlin as I'd love to see your version of one,

Love this more than the first and the ways it pokes fun of the first. Still no CGI in this film. Nor will there be in the third one when they make it according to the director Still all practical and optical FX. That film critic Leonard Maltin actually disliked the first movie. I can't remember how they were able to get him to do that cameo.

Btw, there is no Gremlins 3 yet. The original writer Chris Columbus has been trying to make it (and direct it) for years but honestly, for me, no Joe Dante, no deal. It was Columbus' original idea but Dante's sensibility is what makes Gremlins what it is. There is an animated series for HBO MAX (now just MAX) that has basivally been buried. Havent seen it but it looked terrible. Critters 1, 2 and 3 are as close as we can get to more Gremlins films at the moment.

My Favorite films , should you care, that have practical effects , puppets , Art and maybe Horror Ghostbusters Ghostbusters 2 Ghostbusters Afterlife Jurassic Park The Muppet Movie (this has sequels too) The Dark Crystal Labyrinth King Kong (and all remakes and sequels ) Original Star Wars Trilogy, with out the special effects added and "From Star Wars to Jedi The Making of a Saga" Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend Elephant Man Eraser head Freaks Clash of the Titans Jason and the Argonauts The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms It Came from Beneath the Sea Honey I Shrank the Kids Honey I Blew up the Baby Short Circuit 1 and 2 ALF (TV series) Who Framed Rodger Rabbit? the fly 1958 Metropolis 1927 Wizard of Oz the cabinet of dr caligari E.T.

skele, you can post the free use act at the beginning of your video and you don't have to block the picture with images or play sounds over the movie, i have seen other reactors post the free use act and they can show the movie without reprise, let me know if you need me to type it in the comments
