This really makes me wish that  Joe Dante would actually do a 3rd Gremlins film!

That was fun, thanks Torgo.   Thumbup 
I thought GREMLINS was superb; as successful and well-liked as it was and remains, I also think it is largely misunderstood.  I recall the second film as a fun followup, but not nearly as memorable (the best part being when PHOEBE CATES relates her other horrible holiday memory.)  I wouldn't mind looking at a third installment.

Fantastic.

I'm in a small minority, in that I think the original Gremlins was pretty good, but I absolutely love Gremlins 2. Of course, I'm partial to complete chaos and anarchy. The second movie is the closest I think anybody's ever come to a live-action Looney Tunes movie in sheer insanity.

That was a great commercial.

As for Gremlins 3, definitley, the one flaw that it would have is that the gremlins would probably be made with CGI instead of puppets like in the other, I think CGI gremlins wouldn't look as funny/wierd as those puppets.

I'd love a third Gremlins flick.  But, I like the sequel better.  Probably cause I saw it first, and Gizmo was a total badass in it, what with the whole mini "Rambo" inspired sequence with flaming bow and arrows.  Plus, I saw it first.  And I guess the fact that I was around 5 or 6, and it had Daffy Duck and Hulk Hogan in it, along with Gizmo, made me love it.

Both are quite good though, and I'll always have a huge crush on Phoebe Cates.  Between Gremlins, Drop Dead Fred and Fast Times, she's made 4 great flicks.

It's a fun advert with Gizmo's offspring wreaking havoc in a sparsely manned office late at night. They seem to be done by CGI here and I must say that it works extremely well.

I love both Gremlins films, and I believe that Gremlins 2 is very underrated.  I just love how gleeful it is!

I agree.

I love the whole "New York New york" scene and the random Hulk Hogan scene in the movie theater, myself.

It seemed like a merge of sequel/parody film.  Great flick.

One of my favorite Gremlins in The New  Batch is the one that gets the bat wings.

Also, the one that drinks the vegetable serum and starts having vegetables sprout out of its body in addition to its ears turning into lettuce leaves or something.   TeddyR TeddyR Cheers
