Factual error: Water causes Gremlins to multiply. But in a shot during a cooking show, the insane Gremlin (Daffy) pops up in a pot of soup, which is water based, yet he still doesn't multiply.

Suggested correction: There have been other times when mogwais and gremlins get wet and don't multiply suggesting it's water, not water based liquids. In the first movie for example when the gremlins are drinking beer and Gizmo gets licked by the dog without multiplying.

Bishop73

Character mistake: Given Billy still remembered and recognized him it seems strange Kate doesn't when she mistakes Daffy for Gizmo.

Suggested correction: Billy spent significantly more time bonding with Gizmo in the first movie - days and days. By contrast Kate had very little actual time with him.

Forster: Peltzer, you're having a psychotic episode. Thank you for sharing it with us.

More quotes from Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Trivia: When the movie played in theaters, there was a scene where Dr. Catheter begins to tell Billy about the gremlins before the movie is interrupted by gremlins until they are threatened by Hulk Hogan. When the movie was released on VHS, the scene was changed to static appearing and gremlins constantly changing the channels. This caused many people who bought or rented the movie to think there was something wrong with the tape and took it back to the stores they purchased it from.

More trivia for Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Question: Given Kate met Gizmo in the previous movie, how could she mistake Daffy for him? He looks different from Gizmo.

Rob245

Answer: She only saw him briefly, never in full light either. Plus, it was some time ago. I don't think she would suspect there is another one either.

At the end of the first movie, after killing the gremlins, everyone is at Billy's house, and Kate puts a thermometer in Gizmo's mouth and looks directly at him while doing it, giving her plenty of time to look at him.

Still, very briefly, still in low light. She has had way less interaction with Gizmo overall.
