10 Dumbest Decisions In Fantasy Movie History
10. Not Following The Rules - Gremlins
The Mogwai is one of the cutest creatures ever conceived for a movie, and it's not difficult to understand why someone would want one of their own.
At first, junk store owner Mr. Wing is unwilling to sell the Mogwai due to the great responsibility that comes with caring for it, but his grandson ignores him, and sells it anyway. As he does so, he explains the three golden rules that must be followed when living with a Mogwai; no bright lights, don't get it wet, and don't feed it after midnight.
Upon arriving home, Rand Peltzer gives the Mogwai to his son, Billy. Before long, all three rules have been broken, causing the Mogwai to multiply and turn into Gremlins who then wreak havoc on the town of Kingston Falls.
While breaking the rules wasn't really Billy's fault, more care should have been taken to follow them. Although, when a creature as exotic as a Mogwai comes with a dire warning, maybe the worst decision is buying one in the first place.
