help Gremlins FAQ
What are the three rules for taking care of Gizmo in Gremlins?
Billy is told to keep the Mogwai away from bright light, never get it wet, and never feed it after midnight. Water causes more Mogwai to multiply from Gizmo, while the late feeding triggers their transformation into gremlins.
Is Gremlins a Christmas movie or a horror movie?
Gremlins is both a Christmas-set comedy and a creature-horror film, with Kingston Falls decorated for the holiday as the creatures attack. Warner Bros. released the Joe Dante film in 1984, and its violence helped fuel debate that preceded the PG-13 rating.
Why does Stripe become the leader of the gremlins?
Stripe begins as the most aggressive of the Mogwai spawned when water is spilled on Gizmo. His white stripe makes him visually distinct, and after the group eats after midnight he leads the transformed creatures through Kingston Falls.
What happens to Gizmo in Gremlins 2?
Gizmo returns in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, released in 1990, and ends up inside the Clamp Center skyscraper in New York. The sequel again stars Zach Galligan as Billy and Phoebe Cates as Kate, but takes a more openly satirical approach.
