Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Here They Grow Again...
The rules are the same but the laughs are bigger and thrills are better. This time Billy and everyone's favorite Mogwai, Gizmo, must face off against a new batch of Gremlins that definitely think New York is their kind of town.

Plus, feed on a great batch of extras including never before seen footage, a "behind the scream" look at working with the Gremlins, a full-length audio commentary and much, much more!

Ok...everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to say that this was a bod movie is CRAZY. This movie has everything from commedy, to horror, to action and I absolutely loved it. If you have kids I highy recommend this movie and if you don't I would still have to highly recommend. It's similar to Gremlins but with more laughs and a whole slew of characters that you will love.an utter farce - squirrelnutzipper
The first Gremlins was not a fantastic movie, but it was new, fresh, funny, a bit scary, and overall, a success. However Gremlins 2 is an over-the-top, poorly written farce. The characters are so outrageous that it's hard to believe in any of them, except perhaps Billy. Even the Gremlins look completely different and their re-appearance and behaviours do not fully fit with the first movie. E.g., one drop of water on a Mogwai used to spawn a number of Gremlins. This sequel could have been done much better, and still had a darker side to it, edgy humour and it would have worked. Instead, you've got a sub-B movie that is probably best left to be played on some cable channel at 2 a.m. but nowhere else.Enter The Brain - kav2001c
This movie makes fun of so many other movies its hard to keep track of the referances (it even spoofs itself! There are cracks at Gremlins 1!)
This film also has multiple versions (the cut shown in theatres is not same as the cut on tv or vhs is differant than the dvd)
They even included some of the extra footage (such as John Wayne and Hulk Hogans scenes) as extra features
The Mogwai Gizmo is forced out of his home as Clamp Enterprises (hilarious spoof) takes over the neighbourhood to build his shiny new towers in what was old chinatown
Of course Gizmo is expposed to water and the "bad" Mogwai have no qualms about midnight snacks
This time around though the Gremlins discover a biotech lab (absolutely hilarious) and each undergoes a mutation (spider-gremlins, bat-gremlins, electric-gremlin etc)
While here we are also introduced to the star of this part, the Brain-Gremlin
Whereas Stripe was just a maniac, the Brain has a plan to take over New York...
This is a great dvd well worth a rent, but the movie does lose steam at some points
Oh and be sure to watch the ending
