What was gremlins name

In the show's pilot, the titular character comes across his newest bounty, who ends up being a child that's the same species as Yoda. Many people have said that the character resembles Gizmo, the main Mogwai from the Christmas classic, Gremlins. Mogwai, a species of fictional creature based on the Chinese demon in the film Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Appropriate Age At least The kitchen scene alone, where Billy's fearless mom slaughters a stream of evil gremlins, makes me think parents should wait until their kids are older and able to handle the scares that come with a well-made creature story.

Gremlins isn't Jaws. After Jack is gifted a box with a Mogwai in it on Christmas day, chaos ensues. Gremlins is clearly a horror movie, yet its advertising portrayed it as a family-friendly film until parents took their kids and found out otherwise. Some of the first trailers for Gremlins featured Gizmo, a cute and cuddly little creature called a Mogwai that parents thought their children might enjoy. The rules. If a Mogwai gets wet, it spawns new Mogwai from its back; small balls of fur that are approximately the size of a marble pop out from the wet Mogwai's back, then the furballs start to grow in size before unfolding themselves into new and fully grown Mogwai.

Stripe was the main antagonist of Gremlins. When one of Billy's friends accidentally douses Gizmo with water, five new mogwai popped out of his back, Stripe being the first one. The owner, Mr. Wing, refuses to sell Randall the creature, but his grandson secretly overrules him, warning Randall to remember three important rules: do not expose the mogwai to light, especially sunlight, which will kill it; do not let it come in contact with water; and above all, never feed it after midnight.

Does gremlins 2 take place at christmas? Asked by: Prof. Murphy Quigley. Unlike his predecessor Stripe who was an active leader, for the most part Mohawk seemed to simply let his followers wreak havoc in whatever ways they saw fit in fact, his leadership role was later taken over by the Brain Gremlin. It is confirmed in the commentary track of Gremlins 2 that he is the reincarnation of Stripe; due to his personality, leadership, recognition and hatred of Gizmo, and the stripe of fur on top of his head as a Mogwai like Stripe.

Mohawk and the others eat after midnight and he transforms into a Gremlin. He doesn't lead the Gremlins and instead focuses on torturing Gizmo. He later attacks Billy with an assault rifle, and then gets his hands on a fluid that contained the genetic profile of a spider. After drinking it, he turned into a sort-of "spider centaur", everything from his waist down turning into the body of a giant arachnid.

Mere moments before he could kill them, Gizmo tired of Mohawk's torment took his revenge, shooting him with a miniature flaming arrow and a cleaning liquid bottle that set his entire body alight.

Mohawk screamed horribly as he burned to death. Daffy a. His most recognizable features are his large, round eyes, which whirl constantly in a chaotic manner. He is hyperactive and has a mad sense of humor, and is constantly laughing hysterically. He first appears when Gizmo got wet and is seen bouncing around until he hits a wall and uncurls, immediately beginning his crazy antics by throwing paint everywhere. He is taken back to Billy and Kate's apartment, when Kate mistakes him for Gizmo Daffy was the only one of the new batch who had color scheme similar to Gizmo, as the new batch were black and white as opposed to brown and white , Daffy causes a mess in the apartment.

He is taken back to the Clamp building by Billy while he tries to find the others before they feed, but he attacks a security guard and escapes apparently eating the blood of the security guard after midnight or found some food later on.

He later reappears in a cooking show, now a Gremlin, and sits in a boiling pot of noodles while George and Lenny blow up a microwave, setting off a sprinkler system and spawning more Gremlins. He appears briefly dressed as a repairman messing about with the controls for an elevator, and then knocks out Billy who is in search for Gizmo, straps him to a chair and attempts to drill and pull his teeth out using dentistry equipment.

Futterman comes to Billy's rescue by fending off Daffy with a dentist light. Daffy appears for one last time in the lobby with most of the other Gremlins, seen wearing Groucho glasses fake nose and sunglasses on the right hand side of the Brain Gremlin. Daffy is killed by the Electric Gremlin along with the others, although his death is only seen in a deleted scene where he dies laughing.

Named after and based on Daffy Duck. George is grouchy, moody and cold, resembling Edward G. As a Mogwai, he had grey fur, black patches around his eyes and a white walrus mustache. He seems mute and always a bit annoyed. He seems to hate microwaves, maybe a genetic memory of Mrs. Peltzer killing of a Gremlin in this way in the original movie. He had the idea to put metal pots and pans in the microwave, which caused the sprinkler system to activate.

He was seen in the toy department when he was building a Lego gremlin, but it was knocked over by Lenny. George doesn't like the clumsy Lenny, but always stands beside him, in every scene that the two are in. He, Lenny and Daffy were killed by getting electrocuted, his melting body seen with a cigarette protruding out of what remains of his mouth, although this is actually spat out in a police officer's face when Daniel Clamp charges in with the police force.

He is partly based on George in the book Of Mice and Men. Lenny a. As a Mogwai, his skin is light-brown and he has black stripes on his face. He is generally the least aggressive or dangerous gremlin, he is also the only one not to have razor sharp fangs. Instead he has human like teeth with big buckteeth that stick out in front. However, he does everything that George and Mohawk command him. He is George's partner in crime as he is always following him, George often using him for heavy lifting.

Lenny often accidentally hit him with everything he carried, greatly annoying George. He is killed in a deleted scene along with the remaining Gremlins, when the Electric Gremlin is unleashed after they are sprayed with a hose.

He is partly based on Lennie from the book Of Mice and Men. One Gremlin parodies the Phantom of the Opera franchise, namely the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and the s horror film. After half of his face is deliberately splashed with corrosive acid, Phantom dons a white facemask to cover his burns, although he actually cackles at his scarring. Phantom appears in the lobby finale where the Gremlins have a musical number, seen playing a Gremlin-sized pipe organ until another Gremlin dressed as a damsel removes his mask, revealing his scarred face.

He angrily attacks the Gremlin and points menacingly at the camera, his figure blurring reminiscent to the a scene from the s film. He presumably dies with the other Gremlins. One of the first spawned Gremlins to appear, also in some sources called "Macintosh" this Gremlin severely injured the secretary of Daniel Clamp by putting a mousetrap in her sandwich which apparently either knocked her out or scared her away to seek medical help.

Clamp runs out upon hearing his secretary scream and finds the Gremlin waiting for him wearing his secretary's sweater. The Gremlin throws a coffee pot at Clamp and after laughing hysterically, ducks out of sight. Clamp avoids the attack and rounds the secretary's desk to look for the Gremlin, only to be ambushed by the Gremlin who tries to bite his hand off. Clamp manages to catch the Gremlin in a paper shredder, slicing him to pieces.

This death references to a Gremlin's death using a blender in the first film, the shredder idea suggested by Joe Dante's wife. At one point, the film broke the 4th wall when near the ending of the middle of the movie, during the scene where Dr.

Catheter and Billy communicate to each other for the first time, the film got torn and two Gremlins were making shadows on the movie projector with their hands a bird, bunny, Abraham Lincoln , and then show the movie Volleyball Holiday by the film company Sunworshiper. It was just then that a girl and her mother were complaining about the movie being interrupted, and the film manager who plays the projector was complaining, so the theater manager got Hulk Hogan to yell at the Gremlins that people want "cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in a projector movie!

Hulk Hogan later threatened them to show the film again or he'll come up to the room to wrestle with them, so the Gremlins just showed the original movie again. The Vegetable Gremlin was the first gremlin mutant and is half vegetable and half gremlin.

He mutated after drinking vegetable DNA in the genetics lab, as the other scientists think he is a virus. He then later attacks somebody at the salad bar. A running gag involving The Vegetable Gremlin was vegetables be taken from his back by other characters, he is also seen as a bartender.

He was killed by getting electrocuted and is also prone to belching. His mutation was caused by a mutagenetic brain-enhancing serum which he consumed in the Clamp Building laboratories; his intelligence was greatly increased as a result, and he gained spectacles out of nowhere. After acquiring his intellect, he replaced Mohawk as the leader of the gremlins. At one point he contacts a stock broker, advising his clients to invest all they can in "canned foods and shotguns", an obvious allusion to the chaos the Gremlins were going to wreak on society.

He was also interviewed by Grandpa Fred and described the gremlin desire for civilization and cultural identity, but then shoots a gremlin that was annoying him.

Brain would admit that this action is not civilized but makes for fun, showing that he's just as evil as the rest of the Gremlins, but more reserved about it.

Brain was shown singing the all-gremlin version of " New York, New York " at the end of the movie, then was blasted with water and killed by getting electrocuted with the rest of the gremlins. This song seems to like him very much, because he repeated it several times until his death. Just before he dies, it is implied that he reverted to a normal gremlin as a result of the electricity.

As he dies he sings the words "New York, New York" in a normal gremlin voice, as opposed to his human voice In the original draft, Brain was supposed to have a different death: After singing "New York, New York", Gizmo shoots a dart that injects him with a helium serum, causing him to bloat like a balloon and float out a window to his doom. This was cut out. In the novelization of the film by David Bischoff , he is named Mr. Though he is one of the main villains, and commercials for the movie depicted him keeping Gizmo in a desk, he and Gizmo have no screen time together in the movie.

Also he is the first gremlin leader in the movies to NOT be a Mogwai originally and directly spawned from Gizmo, as he was spawned from one of the gremlins. The Electric Gremlin appears to consist of raw energy and has the power to absorb and control electricity. Before his transformation, he had a green skin colour.

He obtained these powers by drinking a hormone in the genetics' lab this hormone is introduced when Billy first enters the lab, in a scene where twin scientist Martin and Lewis show Dr. Catheter the effect it has on sewer rats. He is also the one who killed Dr. While Billy was talking to Mr. This gremlin tips Stripe off that an opposing player is cheating, so Stripe shoots him. Mugger The mugger gremlin was in Kate's pub with the other gremlins. He wore a hat with three holes in it covering his face like a mask.

He was about to shoot Kate with a gun until Billy drove his car through the pub with its headlights shining, stunning the creature. Flasher The flasher gremlin was a gremlin wearing a coat which he opens as if to flash Kate. This followed through to the sequel with another Gremlin doing the same thing. He was seen later in the movie theater watching " Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs " where he's killed.

He's seen smoking a cigarette and digging jazz music by himself, much like a beatnik or hipster would. Later he is knocked out by a beer glass thrown by another gremlin. The New Batch The following Gremlins appear in the second film. Mohawk Mohawk a. He is more sinister and more evil than Stripe was, and obviously uglier. He first started out as a black and white mogwai with sharp teeth and a white Mohawk like Stripe did, he also had large ears that resembled small bat wings.

He was responsible for stuffing Gizmo in the air ventilation. He ate after midnight and turned into a gremlin, which was dark green and had large reptile like spines on his head which went down his back instead of Stripe's puff of hair at the top of his head.

The first actual view that was given of him in the film to clue in what he will look like was when his spikes shot out of his pod like a jackknife. He was seen in full view when he was attacking a man in the security room, but was scared away when Billy shined a flashlight in his face. He constantly tortured Gizmo using electrical cords, a copier, Velcro, and a toy train reasons could be that Mohawk was the reincarnation of Stripe and much like Stripe in the first movie enjoys torturing Gizmo.

Mohawk tried to kill Billy in the lab with a machine gun, but missed Billy, shooting many test tubes and a gremlin. He was killed in the movie by getting set on fire by Gizmo with a flaming arrow, which was actually a pencil with a bottle of White-Out shoved on the end. Ironically, excluding the Bat Gremlin, Mohawk is the first of the new batch to die, Stripe being the last of the first batch to perish in the first film.

Brain Brain appears as a brown mutated gremlin with glasses and is voiced by Tony Randall. His mutation was caused by a mutagenetic brain-enhancing serum which he consumed in the Clamp Building laboratories; his intelligence was greatly increased as a result, and he gained spectacles out of nowhere. At one point he contacts a stock broker, advising his clients to invest in "canned foods and shotguns", an obvious allusion to the chaos the Gremlins were going to wreak on society. He was also being interviewed by Grandpa Fred in one scene describing the gremlin-type of civilization, and shot a gremlin that was annoying him, an action that he agrees is not civilized but fun, showing that he's as evil as the rest of the Gremlins.

Brain was shown singing the all-gremlin version of " New York, New York ". At the end of the movie, he was blasted with water and killed by getting electrocuted with the rest of the gremlins comically, he finishes the song with his dying breath, his voice returning back to a normal gremlin voice indicating that the shock reverted him back to normal.

In the original draft, Brain was supposed to have a different death: After singing "New York, New York", Gizmo shoots a dart that injects him with a helium serum, causing him to bloat like a balloon and float out a window to his doom.

This was cut out. In the novelization of the film by David Bischoff , he is named Mr. It should be noted that though he is one of the main villains, and commercials for the movie depicted him keeping Gizmo bound and gagged, he and Gizmo have no screen time together in the movie. Daffy Daffy a. His most recognizable features are his large, round eyes, which whirl constantly in a chaotic manner.

He is hyper and has a warped sense of humor, and is constantly laughing hysterically. He first appeared when Gizmo got wet and was bouncing across the room as a ball. Later, he was playing with paint and other types of things. Kate mistook him for being Gizmo, and took Daffy back to the apartment, which caused him to turn it into a disaster area. Before a Clamp security guard arrested Billy, he looked inside the bag which Daffy was in.

Daffy leapt out of the bag and bit the police man's nose, then ran away. He was seen wreaking havoc on the cooking show. He was also seen sabotaging an elevator while Kate was inside. He knocked Billy unconscious , and strapped him to a dentist chair.

Luckily Mr. Futterman scared him away using the light. Daffy is seen later in the crowd of gremlins wearing a mask. Shown in a deleted scene, Daffy, with George and Lenny, was killed by getting electrocuted. Named after Daffy Duck. Electric The electric gremlin consists of and has the power to absorb and control electricity.

He obtained these powers by drinking a hormone in the genetics lab this hormone is introduced when Billy first enters the lab, in a scene where twin scientist Martin and Lewis show Dr. Catheter the effect it has on sewer rats. He is also the one who killed Dr.

While Billy was talking to Mr. Clamp, he comes through an electrical outlet to try to kill them. Billy was able to trap him within the building's phone system by putting him on hold.

He was used to kill the gremlins in the final scene of the movie and, at the same time, he was also killed by using too much of his power. George George is grouchy and tough, resembling Edward G. He had the idea to put metal pots and pans in the microwave at the cooking show, which caused the sprinkler system to activate. He was seen in the toy department when he was building a Lego gremlin, but it was knocked over by Lenny. George seems to be unable to stand Lenny but, despite this, is seen directly next to him in every scene that the two are in.

He, Lenny and Daffy were killed by getting electrocuted, his melting body seen with a cigarette protruding out of what remains of his mouth.

Partly based on George in the book " Of Mice and Men ". Lenny Lenny is a tall, idiotic, light skinned, bucktoothed gremlin. He is generally the least aggressive or dangerous gremlin, he is also the only one not to have razor sharp fangs instead he has human like teeth with big buckteeth that stick out in front.

He is George's partner in crime as he is always following him, George often used him for heavy lifting but Lenny often accidentally hit him with everything he carried greatly annoying George.
