[space - the final frontier]

Speaking of backround (and foreground) references to other movies
in Gremlins here are some that I noticed:

(1) When the Gremlins were in the bar one was playing a video game
    this game was (I think) STAR WARS.

(2) Obviously there was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the theatre.

(3) We also got to see an E.T. doll ( I don`t think it was in heat :-)),
    it was one of the toys Stripe hid behind in the department store.

(4) There was a poster for The Road Warrior hanging in Billy's room.

(5) In the opening scene (or at least a scene near the beginning of 
    the movie) there was a poster advertising some D.J. (ricky?),
    anyway its lettering was the same style as for the posters of 
    Raiders and Indiana Jones.

(6) Finally, when the Gremlins were breakdancing in the bar I think
    that the music they were dancing to was from Flashdance. I believe
    the music was Imagination which was originally sung by Laura
    Branigan. Did anybody else out there notice this or am I wrong?





Don't expose them to bright light.
