** Creator/JohnGlover plays Daniel Clamp, an honest, likeable millionaire who subverts many of the stereotypes about corporate executives. Ten years later, he played [[Series/{{Smallville}} Lionel Luthor]] Luthor, the father of [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]], who may just be the trope codifier for the CorruptCorporateExecutive.CorruptCorporateExecutive, in ''Series/{{Smallville}}''. Made extra hilarious in that in that series it's Lex who starts out as a honest, likeable millionaire while Lionel fills the role usually played by Lex in the comics, before Lex acquires his more well-known characterization from the comics.

** In hindsight that only applies to the writers, the real Donald Trump had started an affair with Marla Maples by the time the film was released, giving Trump {{Expy}} Clamp's flirtation with Marla a different vibe. WordOfGod [[https://www.wired.com/2016/03/gremlins-trump/ says]] the character name was a coincidence, as the movie was produced before the affair was public.
** In turn, Clamp falling for Marla is harsh in light of the fact that Trump has gone through ''several'' wives since his affair with Marla Maples.

* ContestedSequel: Because the two films are so radically different in tone, it's practically an even split between fans who prefer the darkly comic but largely straight-faced angle of the original or the manic, live-action cartoon vibe of the sequel (which makes some, including Creator/JoeDante, to consider this an EvenBetterSequel, see below). This movie objectively has a much more consistent tone than the original, but whether this makes it the better film depends largely on whether one prefers wacky humor or light-hearted horror. At any rate, finding someone with an equally positive opinion of both is fairly rare.
