10 Awesome Sequel Characters Who Totally Stole The Show

9. Brain - Gremlins 2: The New Batch

gremlins2 Gremlins 2 did everything right that a sequel of this kind had to; it upped the ante hugely, and gleefully poked fun at every criticism people had made about the first film. Things get hairy when Gremlins begin hatching in the Clamp Building, but things get worse when they break into the laboratory and begin drinking mutagenetic brain hormone serum, causing a variety of effects, such as a spider-Gremlin, and most hilariously, the Brain Gremlin, a suited-up, dapper spokesperson for his fellow monsters. Best Moment: Brain is taking a moment to discuss the nature of his species with Fred, when a Gremlin interrupts the interview, only for Brain to pull a pistol and shoot it in the head. The punchline? "Now was that civilized? No, clearly not; fun, but in no sense civilized." Brilliant.
