Cut to outside, The Gremlins watch in amusement as Mrs. Deagle blasted out of a window on the second floor, still in the chair, and falling to her death by landing head-first in the middle of the street, in front of a police car, where two police officers, Sheriff Frank Kelly and Deputy Brent Frye, noticed this crime.
Mrs. Deagle screamed in horror as she was taken on a wild ride, and the out of control chair dislodged itself from the railway and crashed through a window in the top floor, launching Mrs. Deagle out onto her front lawn where she died on impact when the chair crashed on her front lawn.
Hanson (Glynn Turman), the science teacher, originally died with dozens of hypodermic needles stuck in his face. However, by request from executive producer Steven Spielberg, this scene was re-shot with just a single needle in the buttocks. The set for Kingston Falls is the same one used for Back to the Future (1985).
Barney, the sweet Terrier mix thankfully survives the chaos that takes place in Gremlins. The film, intended as a soft introduction to horror for younger audiences, introduces Barney as a mischievous, but beloved pet in the Peltzer household.
As the goddess of creation, Nuwa has the ability to restore gremlins to their Mogwai form, which she does multiple times during Secrets of the Mogwai's first season.
This is because he is a Minority Mogwai, a mogwai that is kind and nice. The Gizmo puppet used in the first film was not used in the second film, however the much cuter Gizmo puppet used in Gremlins 2: The New Batch was featured on the DVD cover of Gremlins.
This is the form we see Gizmo as throughout the film. Mogwai are the cute, cuddly, fuzzy forms. It is what happens if you feed them after midnight where they have earned their name gremlins! Feeding the Mogwai causes them to metamorphosize, similar to a caterpillar.
Gremlins were fictitious devilish spirits which made aircraft break down. They first appeared in the RAF during the Second World War. Problems with an aircraft would be blamed upon the work of the gremlins. Airmen would combat the devilish gremlins by carrying mascots of lucky ones.
The mogwai in Gremlins 2: The New Batch are similarly ill-disposed (and certainly have no problems breaking the midnight rule in the film's corporate skyscraper). Gizmo, who has no intention of ever becoming a gremlin, refuses the food and remains his benevolent self in both films.
Actor Zach Galligan is confident that a live-action Gremlins 3 film will happen due to the success of the animated series Secrets of the Mogwai. Despite speculation and the popularity of the franchise, Gremlins 3 has not been confirmed as an official project by Warner Bros.
Randall names the mogwai "Gizmo" and explains the three rules. Gizmo is friendly and docile, but when Billy's friend Pete accidentally spills water on Gizmo, five more mogwai spawn from him, a more mischievous sort led by the aggressive Stripe, named after the mohawk-like tuft of fur on his head.
Stripe was very hostile to Gizmo the Mogwai. His dislike for Gizmo may have been because he did not want the other Mogwai to refer to Gizmo as their leader because they were born from him. Stripe has the overall mind of a gangster when it comes to his choices of weaponry such as handguns and machine guns.
Mogwai reproduce asexually upon contact with water. With most asexual creatures, the offspring are exact clones of the parent. However, with Mogwai this is not the case. Mogwai will produce offspring with many different traits and genes.

The word mogwai is the transliteration of the Cantonese word 魔鬼 (Jyutping: mo1 gwai2; Standard Mandarin: 魔鬼; pinyin: móguǐ) meaning 'monster', 'evil spirit', 'devil' or 'demon'.
And when they ate after midnight, they transformed into scaly, sharp toothed killers. Gizmo, however, never became like them. In fact, he fought against the gremlins. Why did Gizmo never become a bad gremlin though?
Miller became a regular in Dante's films, playing characters named Walter Paisley in almost all the films they made together. They include 1981 werewolf horror The Howling.
