Trivia

The mother scolding the theater manager regarding the movie's inappropriate tone for children was based in fact. During a screening of Gremlins, Joe Dante really was excoriated by a mother who walked out of the theater with her daughter during the infamous kitchen massacre sequence. The daughter begged to be let back in the theater, got free from the mother, and hid in the theater to watch the rest of the film. See more »
