Gremlins/Trivia

Both Movies

Actor Allusion: The Puttermans are played by Dick Miller and Jackie Joseph, cast as a married couple specifically because of their frequent acting collaborations in Roger Corman movies.
Hey, It's That Guy!:
- Clamp Enterprises are run by Lionel Luthor and his assistant the Doctor (no, not that one).
- Speaking of Doctor, Saruman/Count Dooku is the amoral scientist playing with genetics!
- Raymond Cruz plays the delivery guy in Gremlins 2.
Hey, It's That Voice!:
- The Brain Gremlin is Felix Unger.
- Gizmo is voiced by Howie Mandel and Stripe by Frank Welker.
What Could Have Been: The original script of The New Batch featured Randall Peltzer making a Cameo at the end of the movie with his latest invention -- a wetsuit-type device to prevent Gizmo from ever getting wet again.

Actor Allusion: During the Bat Gremlin's transformation, stereotypical vampire music starts playing while the camera zooms in on Christopher Lee's reaction shot.
Unintentional Period Piece: It shows how it's a 1990 film with references to Batman, The Phantom of the Opera, Donald Trump and Marla Maples' affair, colorization jokes and so on.
