Trivia
"Lord Buckethead" attempted to promote his movie in the UK by standing as a prospective MP for Parliament in both the 1987 and 1992 General Elections. Representing the "Gremloid" party (by which this movie is known in the UK) he stood against Margaret Thatcher in her Finchley constituency and somehow got 131 votes. Five years later in 1992 he stood against the then PM John Major in Huntingdon and got 107 votes.

Since I'm such a fan of Gremlins, the title of Gremloids immediately spoke out to me. But I then quickly learned that Gremloids isn't about little green creatures, hopefully a spoof of some kind, but it's actually another spoof of the Star Wars franchise. And like another Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs, this also delivers some laughs. But no way as consistent as Spaceballs, though it does try. It's an incredibly cheesy film, that only true lovers of cheese will probably eat right up. I personally thought the movie started off much better than how it concluded. Though I did find the ending funny. I'm a sucker for that silly hillbilly schtick. Anyways, Gremloids is a must see for any Star Wars completists out there and for anyone who loves the cheesy side of film. Plus you get a young Chris Elliot playing an inexperienced scientist. Not bad, not bad at all.
