Directed by: Joe Dante
Starring: Phoebe Cates, Zach Galligan, Hoyt Axton, John Louie
An elderly man buys a strange and unusual furry creature for his son. All the boy has to do is follow three simple rules: keep it away from bright light, don't get it wet, and, most important, no matter how much it begs, don't feed it after midnight. When the boy makes a few errors the creature accidently spawns a horde of nasty and unfriendly offspring who wreak havoc and enjoy doing it.
Visible crew/equipment: When a gremlin attacks the Mum from a Christmas tree, and the tree falls on top of her, you can clearly see a member of the crew with eyeglasses, wearing a red shirt, standing behind the tree pushing it forward on top of her. (00:54:30)
Gizmo: Bye, Billy.
Trivia: At the beginning of the film, when Billy is late for work, you see two films playing at the movie theater: "A Boy's Life" and "Watch the Skies." The former was the original title for "E.T." and the latter was the original title for a proposed sequel to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Two films directed by executive producer Steven Spielberg. (00:08:30)
Question: Why does the video cover say "We're back"? It's the first film.
Answer: I have the VHS from the 80's. 100% it says we're back.
Answer: I just looked at the cover on cdcovers.cc and it actually says "We're Here", not "We're Back". On Gremlins 2 - The New Batch it says "Here they grow again".

Answer: When the movie was originally released, the art work simply said "We're Here." After it's initially theatrical run, they waited a while and then re-released it and changed the "We're Here" to "We're Back"
