  • i love the scene in gremlins where they were

    mocking carol singers outside somebodys house

    it was funny a gremlins re-release would be supercool

    and a special edition blu ray would be supercool also.

  • I'm always surprised when people, including Dante, say they prefer "Gremlins 2." It's good, it's funny, but I prefer the more horror-oriented original and didn't really like how they just made it a comedy when they did the sequel.

  • @jazzalex22 Dante didn't direct "Space Jam," and in fact directed "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" because he felt "Space Jam" was an embarrassment to the characters. He has a new movie called "The Hole" that has been playing at film festivals since 2009, but hasn't been distributed in the US yet. The trailer looks like vintage Dante.

  • @happyfa5 >> I actually wrote a spec script (mainly just for fun) for a Gremlins 3, but Billy and Kate are only at the beginning and end because it's mainly focused on their son Randy, who is put in charge of caring for Gizmo...and chaos ensues. Although Billy does have the honor of killing the last Gremlin at the end. Kinda feels a lot like Small Soldiers, which even Joe mentioned was his version of a Gremlins 3.

  • I wonder what an updated version Billy and Kate would look like if Gremlins 3 and 4 happens for theaters or not?

  • Joe Dante is one of the most underrated of all the directors. Explorers was a good movie but my favorite movies he directed were Space Jam and Looney Tunes Back In Action. Small Soldiers sucked however. Inner Space was a good one. I never saw Gremlins or Twilight Zone the movie. He really hasn't directed anything new as of late and I hope he can in the future.

  • @DTysonator when it came out pg 13 wasn't invented.

  • I guess you've meant FUNNIER

  • 2 is more funny

  • I agree... I'm dreading a new gremlins with CGI gremlins.... the old ones look good enough... especially that fan made one that shows gremlins could still work with the old type...

    I didnt have a problem with the sequel but i know a few people didnt like it because of the Hulk Hogan Scene amongst others...
