THE
EXTRA-TERRESTERIAL
The
iconic
bike
flying
across
the
moon
required
some
complicated
prop
work.
The
actual
bike
was
rigged
to
a
crane
arm
to
allow
the
actor
and
puppet
to
take
a
ride
in
front
of
a
blue
screen.
Additionally,
a
miniature
was
created
for
wide
shots.

GREMLINS
Ornaments,
bar
bottles,
kitchen
food
…
all
had
to
be
sized
up
and
built
to
smash
or
be
thrown
safely
at
actors.
Director
Joe
Dante
and
producer
Steven
Spielberg
insisted
everything
a
Gremlin
touched
looked
like
it
belonged
to
them,
so
every
prop
had
to
be
envisioned
to
be
believed
a
Gremlin
could
use
it
without
feeling
like
a
puppet
gag.
