| nudity |
Contains only very mild innuendo that children are unlikely to pick up on.
In an early scene in the film, a woman flirts with a man who is already in a committed relationship and leaves a lipstick stain on his face after she attempts to kiss him.
In one scene, the Gremlins break the fourth wall and exchange the film stock with that of footage of nude women playing volleyball. Any nudity is strategically obscured and the film returns to normal shortly thereafter. This scene is substituted with a more innocuous one in some versions of the film (such as the VHS and U.S. network television broadcast).
A female Gremlin attempts to seduce a man. |
| violence |
Contains some mild comic violence and peril throughout the film.
The strongest moment of violence occurs when a Gremlin is shoved into a paper shredder, causing its body to disintegrate into green slime. |
| profanity |
Contains one use of very mild language (i.e. "God damn"). |
| alcohol |
Contains only casual consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. |
| frightening |
Contains comic horror throughout. The Gremlins are grotesque and intimidating (though they often behave in a very silly manner), and very young children may find them to be frightening. |
