I watched Gremlins recently, and feel the need to comment on the mum, Lynn Peltzer.
Check out this scene where she encounters the Gremlins in the kitchen.
In the scenes leading up to this, she hears a noise upstairs in the attic (where the gremlins have been recently hatched). Lynn immediately arms herself with a carving knife and investigates. Personally, if I heard movement somewhere in a house that has a pet dog, I would either ignore it, or go and have a look. I wouldn't grab a carving knife. Lynn gets into the attic, and she sees a flash of movement in the attic and gets a shock, the gremlins haven't had their first reveal yet. Then Lynn hears movement in the kitchen downstairs, so she goes to investigate.
This is the where the scene begins. What I love about this is is the complete lack of hesitation before Lynn starts executing the gremlins. I mean with no warning, no prior knowledge at all about gremlins, this woman walks into her kitchen, see's what are essentially aliens eating her food, and she goes to war. Me, I'd probably shit my pants, run outside and call the police. Super Lynn secret agent on the other just wades the fuck in. It isn't long before she has dispatched three of them and is prowling arounod her house with 2 carving kinfes! Seriously, this was the 80's, maybe she was a cold war sleeper cell russion assasin, or at the least a transgender special forces vietnam vet. Hook Lynn up with Bert from Tremors and it would be magical.
