10 Horror Movie Heroes Who Fell For The Same S**t In The Sequel
4. Billy Lets Gizmo Get Wet - Gremlins 2: The New Batch
The Gremlins movies are centered around the three memorable rules of looking after a mogwai: never expose them to sunlight, get them wet, or feed them after midnight.
But nobody in the first film quite appreciates just how urgent these rules are, and so protagonist Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) doesn't take sufficient care in protecting Gizmo from water.
Before long, Billy's young pal Pete (Corey Feldman) knocks over a glass of H2O, prompting Gizmo to spawn five evil mogwai from his back and in turn causing all hell to break loose.
Billy doesn't seem to have learned his lesson by the time Gremlins 2: The New Batch rolls around, though, as after rescuing Gizmo from a science lab, he leaves him unattended in his office.
Shocker, Gizmo gets soaked once more - this time by a broken drinking fountain - and births more evil mogwai, kicking off the chaos all over again.
C'mon, Billy - did you learn nothing from last time?
