Her character shift in that scene is so good. It’s one of the most memorable parts of the movie for me.

Honestly, Mrs Peltzer is the real MVP of Gremlins. She wiped out more creatures in 5 minutes than most horror protagonists do in an entire movie. Underrated badass?

This is the best sequence in the film

This scene in particular, along with the hearts being ripped out of peoples’ chests in *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom*, resulted in a great deal of outcry from angry parents over their kids seeing this level of violence in a PG movie.
So two months after Gremlins was released, the MPAA (on the advice of Steven Spielberg) created the brand new PG-13 rating.

I didn’t notice till years later that she doesn’t kill the one on the counter with the knife. It’s still writhing around.
