Trivia

When Billy is trying to explain the rules regarding the mogwai to Forster's staff, they find them quite absurd and interrogate him on the application of this rules. This scene originates from the fact that the filmmakers themselves saw the rules as irrational, and some questions in the scene were based upon queries raised by fans of Gremlins. See more »
