From the beginning, before he’s even in Gremlin form, Mogwai Stripe – so called for the “cute little stripe on his head”, a tuft of white fur like a mohawk – snaps at Billy’s neighbour Pete (Corey Feldman) when he strokes him. So far, so nasty. Stripe is the ringleader, and Billy even points out early on that he seems to be in charge. There’s somet...
Billy’s biology teacher, Mr Hanson, is one of a small handful of presumed deaths across both films that we see on screen. And this is the first time we see exactly how deadly these creatures can be. There’s a tense build-up to Mr Hanson’s demise, with the transformed Gremlin having broken free of its cage and hiding in the lab. As Mr Hanson tries t...
In the kitchen sequence in the Peltzer home, Mrs Peltzer proves herself to be the most unhinged of all involved in this skirmish. Hell hath no fury like a housewife whose kitchen comes under attack. She kills one hostile Gremlin in the mixer, and stabs another, before spraying one in the face with an aerosol (flea and tick treatment, if you will), ...
We’ve got some pretty skew-whiff human characters amid the demented reptilian pests – Jonathan Banks’s Deputy Brent is definitely a bit off, as are the Futtermans – especially Sheila and her ever-so-slightly manic enthusiasm for Christmas. This helps craft the comedic tone amid the horror, and helps the audience accept that some of these victims mi...
Again, some Gremlins group together to terrorise a human – although this time, the human in question is actually targeted. Stripe seems to know exactly who Mrs Deagle is when he orchestrates an attack on the elderly but mean-spirited woman. The audience already doesn’t like her because of her run-in with Billy and Barney at the bank, and so enjoys ...
Phoebe Cates’s Kate is working in the bar when legions of Gremlins descend. Amid those enjoying the thrills of the ceiling fan, others guzzling booze, and another smoking three cigarettes at once, are three that stand out as particularly unhinged. One, the Flasher Gremlin, is dressed in a mac and dark glasses and delights in flashing at her. He sho...
Now we’re into sequel territory in Gremlins 2: The New Batch. The Brain Gremlin is, as you would expect, intelligent. But this only magnifies his unhinged nature despite appearances. One of the Gremlins affected by the DNA and potions from the Splice of Life lab, Brain Gremlin ingests a serum that enhances his mental functioning. His vocabulary is ...
This guy will strike fear into the hearts of all those who have ever dreaded the dentist’s chair (not England’s Euro ’96 squad, then). Dentist Gremlin has crazy eyes moving independently of one another and approaches a strapped-down Billy with a whirring drill, laughing maniacally and asking “Is it safe?”. It’s a reference to Marathon Man and the c...
Thought to be the reincarnation of Stripe from the first film, the Mohawk Gremlin is a little bit smarter than the rest, a little bit more conniving, and a little bit more distasteful. Before he even changes into Gremlin form in The New Batch, we see him perving over women’s legs under the table. We see him fire a gun at Billy, too – which is somet...
At one point in the film, we see one Gremlin toss acid in the face of another, who instantly reaches for a Phantom of the Opera-style mask to hide his disfigurement. Later, we see the same Gremlin playing Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor on an organ. Another Gremlin dressed as a bride approaches and whips his mask off. The Phantom Gremlin gives ...
