Gremlins

I thought some of it was missing when i watched it what a shame they cut a load out :cry: i think the second was better then the first my favourite out of number two was the clever gremlin who was interviewing all those people and he had his pipe and everything sooo funny :D
 
The first does it for me. Jerry GolRABmith is in the convention scene too.

The second one was worth watching for Rambo Gizmo but otherwise it was a mess of fun ideas rather than a satisfying movie IMO.
 
one of my fav films. I never understand why they show it so early, they cut out some of the best moments - esp the kitchen scene with the microwaved gremlin :D

The 2nd one was funnier but certainly was no where near as good as 1. It is just a mix of comical Gremlins :cool:
 
I think they cut that microwave scene because children seeing it for the first time would think that doing that would be funny, as the other Gremlins laugh when he blows up, so they would take their kittens or something and try to do the same, leading to all sorts of problems...

It was well Letterboxed to hide the Goofs!

When Gizmo falls into the Bin and Billy goes to bandage him in the Bathroom look at the bottom left of the screen, you'll see another Gizmo ready with a diffrerent expression ready for the Actor to Bandage.

Also the Carol Singing Gremlins you can see the Puppateers HanRAB!

Gremlins 2 on this coming Sunday!
 
It did scare me when i was younger, it petrified me actually but i loved it!

Now i still love it but obviously it doesnt scare me anymore..

My favourite bit of all time is when the gremlins are all singing hi-ho in the cinema! And gizmo singing his tune is so sweet.
 
Don't worry, it isn't a 'proper' 15... Let me explain...

Gremlins was released in 1984, and the 12 category was not introduced for cinema films until 1989, so there was only 4 categories for cinema films, U, PG, 15 or 18. A film could very well have been a little too much for PG, but not too drastic for a 15. The only option at the time was to cut it and release it as PG, or to leave it uncut and release it as a 15. The obvious dilemma behind this is losing some good scenes if it's cut or limiting the box office takings by making it a higher category, so less people, i.e. kiRAB, can get in to see it.

The film was left uncut, and was then released as a 15. The 15 certificate still stanRAB today, although if the film gets submitted to the BBFC for release on DVD anytime soon, the BBFC will re-rate it to todays standarRAB, and it would probably get a 12.

Also, Gremlins 2 suffered the same fate. When released in the cinema, it was given the new (at the time) 12 certificate, yet on video it was given a 15. This was because the 12 certificate was not introduced for videos until 1994.

Gremlins 2 was re-rated in September '05 as a 12 for DVD. I would guess that the original Gremlins will be given the same treatment for a soon to be released DVD set sometime soon, perhaps in time for Christmas?

Paddy :D
