Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Continuity mistake: Whenever a complete image of Gizmo appears walking or dancing, the puppet is 10 cm taller and way chubbier than the one commonly used. For example, when he dances in the lab, count the metal squares in the cage: He grows from a height of 6 to 9 between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Clamp visits the office, there's a man with grey hair walking from the right side of the screen. A frame later he's moved 15 meters to the left.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Futterman throws the gremlin onto the cement, before moving the slide, the Gremlin's neck and back have no cement, but a frame later they're totally covered in it.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Forster is seduced by the Gremlin, his hand alternates between being on her shoulder or on her back.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Gizmo dances in the lab, the position of the cage door, and the distance between the door and Gizmo changes between shots.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Futterman is being attacked by the Gremlin, his wife is on the right, a frame later she is standing on the left side, several meters away.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: After Clamp kills the Gremlin the desk is clean. A frame later, when Billy shows up, there's a gallon of goo all over the place.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: When Clamp has the Gremlin attached to his chest, his left hand is very obviously puppeting the Gremlin's arm. Clamp's fake arm is very long and makes a weird twisted bend around the Gremlin's back.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When water falls on Billy's desk, a small squared object next to the pens keeps changing positions between shots.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: When the female Gremlin jumps on Forster, his arm is obviously controlling the puppet. His fake arm's awkward position plus a fake chubby hand reveals it.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: In the kitchen, Crazy Gremlin throws an ice cream at Kate, which doesn't produce a stain and bounces around, revealing it's a rubber prop.

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.

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.
