Random facts about random media I'm into 1#: The original plan for Gizmo in Gremlins

In the original script for Gremlins, Gizmo was meant to turn into Stripe. Basically being everything that Stripe was. From the personality down to appearance. Some have mentioned that Gizmo would have also grown a mohawk after he spawned the other mogwais (which is totally how hair works after you give birth to someone). Some conflicting sources have said he would have died at the end or turned back into a mogwai and Billy would have taken him back to the Chinese shop. However though in the OG script, a clean up team came in to clean up some of the gremlins's dead bodies and the mess they made. One of the workers stumbled upon a red toolbox and took ot with him. But while he was driving the box was moving and kicking. Thinking something was inside, the man threw the toolbox out of the window of his truck and the box went down a hill and fell into a nearby lake and it sinked. Then at the end a gremlin's cackle can be heard. Gizmo was inside of the toolbox and unfortunately that would have meant he got wet again and the nightmare would happen once again. Another source I've heard from is that in one of the storyboards I sadly can't find, Gizmo got his ear burnt off which could have sparked the desire to become evil since most likely nobody was around or simply didn't notice so it could have come off as they didn't care about the poor fella. Again I cannot find the storyboards or if that even is fully true. However though, Splielberg dismissed and scrapped that idea since he thought Gizmo was too cute and kids would be sad if he died. Also they gotta make money by milking a whole ton of Mogwai merch so obviously they gotta keep the babygirl Gizmo alive to make merch duh 💅

Starting a fun little series of me randomly talking about random facts about certain medias I like. It's all gonna be random by the way XD

Guys, I've found a treasure! Had to register on the site but it was worth it!

DAN KRALL: These are concepts I did for Gremlins when they get fed after midnight. There were physical descriptions of them in the script, so I just did a quick rough of what they might look like. The finals ended up changing a lot from these and being really, really great.

DAN KRALL: This is a super-rough concept I did for Claw, who was the evil leader Gremlin of this series. I had an idea where she’s kind of all about asymmetry; one eye is squinty and she was supposed to have a limp and drag her claws. I think a lot of that stuff didn’t actually end up happening, but her general design came through. I really liked the way she came out.

DAN KRALL: These are some poses – somebody else did have the Claw character, we would send these as part of the character design packet.

TARA RUEPING: These are early-on concept art. We first started out with rough drawings like this to get the inspiration of how the characters were written. We really leaned into what was written, we embraced those names, so that’s why Noggin has a huge noggin, Claw has massive claws… I think embracing that’s very true to the Gremlins IP, with the character Stripe in the original film.

DAN KRALL: This is from the pitch deck, but when the god that was involved in the story was still the brother Fuxi, before we switched to Nüwa. This is at the end of the series after everything’s all wrapped up, and Fuxi is escorting all the Gremlins back to the valley, and Grandpa is hitching a ride because he’s always wanted to see the Valley of Jade.

TARA: Gizmo being Gizmo, we wanted to make sure that we were true to his design, how he was in the films. So we looked at a lot of photographs and how he was portrayed in the films with the mouth shape, the pattern of his fur, the shape of his ear. Of course it’s a stylised version of Gizmo, but we wanted to make sure that we were very true to Gizmo’s design.

Gremlins (1984)

[mat2modblog]

That one time the Go! Titans, Daffy Duck, Yogi Bear, Gizmo and Brain Gremlin unleashed a carebear stare against a giant Michigan J Frog.

[ps2dinosaur]

So the series reveals that the Mogwai spawn are cursed to be violent, destructive tricksters for the first century of their lives, explaining why they obsessively try to cause trouble the moment they're born.

A theory I have is the ring Noggin wears - the anti magic ring - is interfering with the curse. It allows him to try to fight against it, but he can't because Fuxi's curse is ingrained in his very core.

He accidentally hurts Boss Chang while trying to defend him. Chang forgives him.

He misses Boss Chang - who accepted both sides of him - and tries to replace that relationship with Gizmo. He wants Gizmo to forgive him like Chang did, but Gizmo's experience with the Gremlins has been them trying to murder him constantly. He can't figure Noggin out. Noggin can't figure Noggin out.

I am so glad Noggin seems to have survived in the next batch of episodes.

'you made me, you will love me, or you will die!' was a raw line, Gremlins cartoon you did not have to put this much effort in.

Gremlins: Actor AU

A quick synopsis: This AU revolves around the actual mogwais and gremlins just being actors and how the gremlins movies and show are literal movies and show.

Random ahh info about it:

The team uses practical effects for various scenes. Gizmo and the gremlins multiplying, Spider gremlin, Stripe's death, they are all practical effects. However though, stuff like Billy's injuries in the 1st movie and the scar on Muray's head were make up.

However though, while most of his injuries were make up, Stripe did actually by accident claw Billy's chest. Luckily the wound wasn't that bad so Billy was okay and able to recover. Stripe ended up apologizing to Billy for the scar.

Gizmo and Stripe are long time friends, both knew each other since college (they went to the same one). They were in a lot of movies together and due to Gizmo always playing the role of a hero and Stripe always being some kind of villain, they have been seen as one of the most iconic hero and villain duo.

Billy and Kate are a couple in real life and have 3 kids together. Ironically, in the 2nd movie, they intentionally wrote that they would be married soon which was actually the case since, just a month after the release of the movie, they got married.

Mohawk is always casted as the villain but in reality is actually very nice and caring and offers the other actors tips on acting.

Mohawk actually hates spider so it freaked him out a little that his character would later turn into a spider.

The mogwai that played Stripe as a mogwai, originally auditioned for Gizmo's role but sadly didn't get it. But the director loved his perfomance so much that he decided that he would be the mogwai form of Stripe that eventually turns into a gremlin.

Gizmo knew of the mogwai that played Mohawk as a mogwai and asked him to come and played the role. After a while of thinking he went to try it out and was able to get the part.

Daffy used to work in an insane asylum and a mental hospital. So he witnessed a lot of crazy and deranged patients and once that were even psychotic. He quitted because it became too stressful. However though, thanks to what he has seen, he was able to incorporate that in his acting when playing his character.

Lenny and George are famously known for playing the brains and brawns duo thru out every movie and or show they have been in. Usually the roles are George is the brain while Lenny is the brawn. They are both twin brothers who since babies had a close bond together.

George actually broke his character a few times while recording. It was kind of hard for him to keep the same face without unintentionally laughing really loud.

Earl was a very busy person. He acted in a lot of movies and shows which sadly led to him sometimes having to quit his roles or leave the studio just to focus on another movie or show. Which is why he explained to the director for why he is quitting. Despite this, his scenes were still in the movie and he was still credited.

Barney was originally going to be killed and eaten by the gremlins, but the director often saw Barney be very clingy to the actors and was always looking for attention and the actors often played with the dog or were friendly with him. So the director decided to cut that scene out because he didn't like the thought of the actors who treat the dog very lovingly to suddenly kill him, even if it was just acting.

Lynn was gonna get her head decapitated, but the actress didn't like it in the slightest and kept asking for it to be changed and it was.

The blender gremlin ended up throwing up in the fake blender because of how fast it was spinning. Yeah some of the green blood was not fake by the way that was his vomit-

The younger actors actually look up to Greta and Brain because they were apart of their childhood, and both were known as one of the TV star legends. So they were excited to be playing with them and they were one of the nicest people they've met. Plus they were willing to give advice to some of the new actors.

Snout Jr is actually Snout's in real life son.

Claw and one of the writers had beef which was the cause of the decision to make Claw's character in love with Gizmo. Both actors ended up being uncomfortable because of the knowledge the characters they were playing were actually related. Reason why they often argued with the writer.

Noggin had a habit of playing both dumb and smart characters. So the writers decided to make his character first dumb and then intelligent.

Most of the actors are married to someone.

Riley's last name was on purpose greene due to the fact he has a habit of voicing various green characters.

Fong Wing's fight against the gremlins was a tribute to Lynn Pelter's actor who passed away and her scene where she fights the gremlins in the kitchen.

Randall is actually a successful inventor and often brought his inventions to show off to the cast.

Bat gremlin loves horror and anything dark, which is why he is often acting in horror movies or anything dark, simply because he loves them.

The gremlins and mogwais are capable of doing their own stunts.

Due to beef with the producer, Vegetable gremlin's scenes were cut out. They can still be found on the DVD version of the movie.

Mrs. Deagle did nearly suffer a severe injury while acting but luckily she was okay and medical assistance was called to check her up and see if she was okay or not.

Kate's backstory with her dad was based on something similar she saw. But instead of her dad dying, he ended up slipping on some ice and nearly breaking his back and twisting his ankle. But he still did everything to make his daughter love his present. Even if he almost suffered an injury-

Elle's actor had mental breakdowns because the scene with her backstory were similar to what she went thru, she was abandoned by her family but eventually take in by a family who cared for her. Sadly her in real life parents were killed. She was allowed to take breaks to calm down.

The gremlins are completely opposite to their movie selves.

That's all for now. Feel free to ask questions if anyone is curious.
