10 Horror Movie Villains Who Broke Their Own Rules
10. The Gremlins Forgot Their Own Rules - Gremlins
Everyone knows what to do and what not to do when it comes to dealing with Joe Dante’s vicious little Gremlins. There are three basic rules for looking after your pre-Gremlin Mogwai. Never feed them past midnight, don’t let them catch the sun's rays, and never ever get them wet!
We all know this but it appears that the Mogwai themselves will sometimes forget the rules. In the film, the cute little bundles of fur are depicted running around in the snow. As we all know, snow is the frozen form of water and should in theory have the same effect on the pre-pubescent creatures.
This is apparently not the case as the Mogwai do not start to multiply in the scene, breaking their rules and the laws of basic science. The only time we see the Mogwai start to multiply is when they actually touch water. Technically they are breaking their own rule but the director doesn't actually hold them responsible for their actions and they get away with the little slip up.
What was obviously a slight overlook on the director's part, should have resulted in a much bigger problem than what was depicted in the film.
