10 Movie Rules That Make No Sense

10. Don't Feed Gremlins After Midnight - Gremlins

The Gremlins movies are of course governed by three seemingly specific rules: don't get the cute creatures wet, don't expose them to bright lights, and most importantly, don't feed them after midnight.

We all know what happens when these rules are inevitably broken - Gizmo spawns mogwai out of his back which eventually transform into evil Gremlins - and while the first two rules make perfectly simple sense, the third remains a major point of contention among fans.

The issue is that "after midnight" is a vague and relative term. When does the post-midnight period end? And as briefly, hilariously mentioned in the sequel, what happens if a mogwai crosses time zones?

Sure, fans have theorised that a mogwai can't be fed again until sunrise, but this isn't information that the movie gives us, and so the precise mechanics of their physiology are left needlessly ambiguous.
