I find Gremlins 2 so much more enjoyable when you realize that Joe Dante made it specifically to make sure the franchise ended and as a giant middle finger to the studio executives who wanted the sequel in the first place.

Ah, Christopher Lee, ever the consummate professional. I miss him.

Gremlins 2 was my first Nes game! Very found memory's of that Christmas morning.

Gremlins 2 and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 had to be the weirdest sequels ever. I love both, don't take me wrong, but at the same time I miss the serious tone of the originals. The concept of antisequels is weird. It's funny, but very weird, and I think they need a big creative mind, total creative freedom and a big budget to make them work.

That summer was absolutely jam packed with huge movies - It was a bad decision to try to take on Dick Tracey alone but with Total Recall, Back to the Future III, Pretty Woman and Turtles all in cinemas at the same time and Robocop 2, Days of Thunder and Die Hard 2 all due to be released in the next three weeks it was just insanity to throw Gremlins 2 {a Spoof remember} into all of that! It would have done much better as a mid October release opposite Night of the Living Dead and three-four weeks before Dances With Wolves and Home Alone were released on Nov 9th and 16th.

For whatever reason, growing up we only had Gremlins 2 on VHS, not the original. Thusly, I've seen Gremlins 2 many more times than Gremlins 1, not to say Gremlins 1 wasn't lightning in a bottle. However, Gremlins 2 is still my favorite of the two and in my top list of comedies. All that creative freedom certainly boosted it. Now that early shot of Gizmo walking on the sidewalk, it always greatly impressed me when I was kid and I recall wondering how they did that. Probably it has to do with the quality of the VHS and the old TVs at the time, obscuring the faults at the time, which we now see in ultra clear quality. And I'll always be enamored with Marla, and redheads, and curly haired women. The 90's were rife with curly haired women wasn't it? Wish it would come back in style.

THANK YOU SIR FOR UPLOADING THE FULL FILM IN PARTS!! my little cousins are gonna be here soon and got a big bag of fudge cup cakes. can't wait to press play and watch each part on your channel. You're a legend!! they are so excited to come and see the film with me

LOL had to double-check to see if Marla in Fight Club was named after a character in Gremlins 2 😂 nm i'm gonna headcanon it to be true anyway

They wanted to mock the sequel within their sequel🤔🤯... MAKES SENSE NOW!😆

The original is a one and done but New Batch is just so gooood. It’s only until recently I have a want for a sequel similar to the original.

I remember going to see this with a friend when we were kids.

Gremlins 2 has a special place in my family's history, growing up in the late-80's / 90's. My two brothers and numerous cousins LOVED this franchise, and we all had our own Gizmo impersonation. G2 especially is a favorite. So much so, that I was a guest on a friend's podcast where people would debate whether a sequel was better than the original. I feel like I came out on top of that one. As a kid, it was just the Looney Tunes wackiness, and of course, Gizmo. As an Adult, it's one of my favorite meta-commentaries on Filmmaking, Sequels & Consumerism. One of my favorite jokes is when the fire breaks out and the building says, “Oldest of Man's Mysteries, Giver of warmth, Destroyer of forests, right now this building is on fire. Yes! The building is on fire!" God, I love this movie. Having grown up in the excess of the 80's and the Balanced National Budget of the 90's, this film is intrinsic to my being. I had no clue that was all an original set with working elevators and real shops. That's so unique and awesome. I knew alot of the BTS stuff, but that one slipped past. The world-building in these films is honestly great. From the mall TCBY (shout out Jasson Presson) to the Clamp branding, it all feels real. I just love that Dante used the constraints making this movie as further commentary. He truly made such a bizarre piece of cinema and it's wholly underrated. He's wholly underrared. I'm just glad Sam Raimi made it mainstream. Anyway, I could go on & on, but you said it all. Thank you for your work! I appreciate what you do.

I went to see this movie with a friend in Jr. High and thought it was great. We loved the Hulk Hogan bit. Weird that it turned into John Wayne for the VHS.

Gremlins on Mars! (filmed on location)

Die Hard…. With Gremlins!!!

Parts of this script felt like it was written by chat gpt off a wikipedia article😂. It was mostly whatever but at the end when he says sum like “[lee] was famous for playing vampires in his horror days” that took me out the video so hard cause i kept thinking why not just say dracula🤔😂

I would love to meet Robert Picardo.

15:30 are those the twins from Terminator 2! (Edit, I posted my comment just before you confirmed it near the end) It's been a long time since I've seen I've seen the sequel but as far as my memories serve me I enjoyed it. It was different enough from the original to feel like its own movie and not a clone. These videos clearly take a lot of effort. Having part 1 of the next video ready at the same as the final part of the last is a fantastic way to keep people engaged and enthusiastic about your videos. As I said clearly a lot of work but as a viewer, I think it's worth it.

20:57 Marla Singer? Holy shit, gremlins fight club cross over! I always liked the actress who played her. Both of them actually

They should have did a completely different storyline for Gremlins 2 and left the original storyline alone. I did enjoy both movies. You spoke correctly when you stated that Gremlins was serious and followed rules and G2 did not.

'They were sure Dick Tracy would storm the box office." And this just proves how executives don't know what they're talking about. Oh, wait, I thought that movie was a flop?

Phoebe Cates looked hot in the first movie. Her hair was too short in the second movie.

They waited too many years to make a sequel. If they made it a few years sooner they'd ride on the popularity of the first one. Around 6 years later?

🎉

Sorry for being That Guy,but...The Redhead was named Marla Bloodstone.Marla Singer was in Fight Club.Seemingly minute inconsistencies such as these may hurt your credibility & your channel (What else is non-factual???). Everyone makes mistakes,but when it's presented in this form...it gives birth to B.S. theories like The Mandala Effect,which is just alot of people having a shared experience of incorrectly remembering something because it sounds factual...creating confusing,ignorant debates that have no right existing. Alittle misinformation goes a long way. Other than that, great job & I thank you for your hard work you put into this,Bud.

21:00; not played by Helena Bonham Carter.

29:36 Do you think that this interaction could be a joke referencing how the writer saw no need to make a sequel, but was forced to create more of it? Good video!

24:10 (and other clips) - Zach can't seem to hide his discontent towards Picardo! Is there something between them that I don't know about? The gal in the middle seems either uncomfortable or wanting to appear to be supportive of Zach (maybe just because she fancies him) - do you have any knowledge of bad blood between them?

Her name was Marla Singer!!!??? So Chuck palinuk used her name in his novel, Fight Club?
