GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1990)

September 26 : 7:00 pm 9:00 pm

“A devilishly, hysterically, cacklingly, subversively funny picture that builds and builds until it literally self-destructs.” – Washington Post

Perhaps the closest cinema has ever come to a live-action Looney Tune, GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH is an all-out assault of gags, goo, and gremlins gremlins gremlins! Less a sequel to the 1984 original than a feverish parody of it, Joe Dante’s madcap satire moves the action from small-town Kingston Falls to the Big Apple, where the mischievous little monsters wreak havoc upon a New York City skyscraper. With gloriously gloopy Rick Baker effects, a gag-a-minute ratio that would leave Mel Brooks’ head spinning, and an onslaught of pop-culture references ranging from Rambo to Ray Harryhausen, GREMLINS 2 is a chance to watch a brilliant filmmaker unleash his movie-addled id all over the screen. It’s not only one of cinema’s greatest sequels, it’s also one of the most uproarious comedies ever made.

Come out early for a free Looney Tunes Happy Hour, starting at 4:30 pm!
