Max Landis on Gremlins 2
0 views • May 6, 2022
TFH Fearless Leader Joe Dante's off the wall sequel to his 1984 smash (which he often refers to as "a medley of my hit") moves its Looney Tunes action from the small backlot town of the original to The Big Apple, where the titular monsters overrun a futuristic (for 1990) office building and end their occupation with a spirited rendition of "New York New York". Heavily influenced by Olson & Johnson's Hellzapoppin, it was released a full six years after Gremlins and proved less potent at the box office but popular enough to engender a spirited fanbase. Warners nixed Dante's preferred title, GREMLINS 2, PEOPLE 0.
