In what movie does a father who is looking for a unique present for his son, purchase a cute and fuzzy "Mogwai" from a shopkeeper's grandson in Chinatown and is told, "Don't expose him to bright light. Don't ever get him wet. And don't ever, ever feed him after midnight"? Also, along with what other film did this one help to influence the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating?

Zbeck got it! "Don't expose him to bright light. Don't ever get him wet. And don't ever, ever feed him after midnight." This sage advice is ignored midway through Gremlins, with devastating results. This comic Joe Dante effort is set in a Norman Rockwell-esque small town at Christmastime. Seeking a unique gift for his son an erstwhile inventor (Hoyt Axton) purchases a cute, fuzzy little "Mogwai" from a Chinatown shopkeeper's (Keye Luke) grandson (John Louie), who dispenses the above-mentioned warning before closing the deal. Along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, also rated PG, Gremlins was one of two films in 1984 to influence the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating, with Red Dawn being the first film released with the rating in August 1984. http://www.answers.com/topic/gremlins-film Jan 16 07, 10:55 PM
