i wonder if they had an idea for a 5 critter film. It would be cool if they made critters 5 were the critters invade earth all around the world causing havoc and the only one who can stop them is charlie alongside with new bounty hunters. this is one movie i always dream about and someday i hope it will be made
sharei heard that a critters 5 was going to be made next year, dont know how true it is but i also got that Scott Grimes(brad), Nadine Van Der Veld(april) and Dee Wallace Stone(helen) from the first Critter movie were in talks about the 5th Critters
XxStacixX
I'm not sure how possible is it for them to return if a fifth part is set after the fourth because Brad would be older than the actor is now as is his sister and his parents would most likely be dead (I've forgotten how far into the future Part 4 is set, but the entire family seen in the original maybe dead by then).
I'm actually wanting more of a film to fill in the blanks between the second and third films because there were way too many holes that 3 and 4 never explained that really bothered me. There was a slice of meat missing there.
You know, since the last film was set in the future and in space and since the film series is owned by New Line Cinema which made Jason X, maybe they can have a crossover - but that could be just a fanboy dream, and I seriously doubt that could come to light (though, you have to admit that Jason Voorhees would make an excellent bounty hunter).
But still, they would have to be very careful, I would imagine. One set in the future would only have Charlie carrying the franchise. On the other hand, it would be fresh if they broke that mold and did something completely different with it and established new characters in a new setting. Whatever they may do, I only ask that they make the Crites scary again instead of cartoons. They were so bloated with being that goofy by Part 4 that it barely raised a chuckle out of me.

I agree but when i said the cast were being called i said it wrong they are only gonna have small roles in it like April being a mother and stuff, still i dont know how true it may be

Can I just say for a second that there are spoilers here and that I am an obsessed gremlins fan. ok.
About a month ago I had the privaledge of watching critters 3. What struck me at first was how similar it was to Gremlins. The furry things that are really evil? Can I also remind people that the first Critters movie was released two years after gremlins - it is SO copying the idea but changing the story to distance viewers from that thought.
Critters 3 was a watchable, enjoyable film, which starred the young Leo DiCaprio and a few other familiar faces (but I couldn't name them) I thought about the gremlins link and decided to look up the cool trailer site and research my thoughts. Critters one seems awfully cheesy, but the similarities between gremlins (first movie) and critters 2 are AMAZING! The little town being terrorised? CHECK! Fluffy creatures that turn nasty? CHECK! Scared townpeople having no idea what the hell is happening? CHECK! Take a look yourself.
Also, Joe Dante (Gremlins director) was approached around the time of the critters movies to make a gremlins sequel. He refused so critters director must have stolen most of the ideas. Yes I agree that the critters films are good, but not as good as the gremlins ones. Finally when gremlins 2 was released - the critters team overstepped the battle with gremlins and released critters 4 (the cliffhanger number 3's sequel) and trod all over the wonderful marks gremlins made on the film industry.
Yes I think the critters films are good but I think anther film would crash and burn. It would also ruin the gremlins 3 release soon. They are a spoof of gremlins. Anyone agree?
Spongebob: What could be better than serving up smiles?
Squidward: Being Dead...
Three wery vague CHECK's doesn't really make a spoof. But i agree that critters is probably highly inspired by gremlins.
But on to the topic. I think a fith movie is a not so good idea, there are simply to many holes in the plot and trying to explain it all would just seem kind of stupid. Creating a totally new story would just seem like makin money off an old trademark. Anyway it would probably just confuse people even further about the plot. So I think it would be best just to leave it at four movies and go create something totally new with a new name and a plot line with notsomany holes.
jemmamartin23,
No offense, but it's not exactly news that Critters was inspired by Gremlins, this was known when Critters was originally released in the theaters back in 86, along with all the other Gremlins clones that came- Munchies, Hobgoblins, Ghoulies, etc....None of these movies would have been made if it wasn't for the release and success of Gremlins...just like the countless Mad Max clones that came out in the 80's...or the countless Scream clones that came out in the 90's...
I wouldn't say Critters was a spoof of Gremlins, it just borrowed a similar idea of having little creatures invade a small town...The first Critters is by far the best of the series, and part 2 was a decent follow-up...personally I think Critters 3 was the worse of the series, though part 4 wasn't much better...
Gremlins 2 was a spoof of Gremlins....as it was Dante's original intentions.
How exactly would a release of Critters 5 ruin the release of a Gremlins 3? If Critters 5 crashed and burned and Gremlins 3 followed suit, that would mean Gremlins 3 wasn't good to begin with...but if the same effort went into Gremlins 3(especially if Joe Dante comes back) as the first two Gremlins, then it would carry its own no matter what a Critters 5 did.
Gremlins 3 release soon....since when?
Um the script to Critters was made in 1983 with long rewrites so how can
Critters be a rip off of gremlins it sit on a shelf for 3 years and besides
that Newline who made the film which other then Nightmare on elm street unlike
Gremlins which had a huge budget and was made by WB Critters was a low budget
and made big money and since both NOES and Critters were the only franchise
they crank out more sequels to fans who loved series and besides that would
be like NOES being a rip off of Halloween and Friday the 13th and so what
if Critters 2 invade the town unlike Gremlins which have to change from mogwai
critters never changed if they were like pod like monster and I doubt if they
made a part 5 it would interfere with Gremlins 3 if it's ever made which
provably would go to theaters after Critters 2 went to theaters they chose
to release a straight video on Critters 3-4 I love Gremlins and I love Critters
and I'm sick of fans blaming other series of films that were made if every
great film was a rip off of another film because once an awhile yes rip off
are made to cash in on big movies Friday the 13th was a rip off of Halloween
but you don't see John Carpenter suing Paramount for making so who cares
I love all films Horror and Comedy and Sci-Fi and besides I heard that Joe
Dante would not want to direct part 3 because WB wants CGI monsters instead
of Puppets which in my mind worked great in the Gremlin films instead of cartoon
version which would less likely be believable then the puppets which were more
believable and that would go with critters films as well I rather not see a
CGI monster film talk to you later and sorry for any miss spells
According to a post on comingsoon.net on August 27th, 2004, they are in preproduction of Critters 5 & 6. They are going to shoot the films back to back.
shareI hope there are two sequels on the way. They should 'ignore' parts 3&4 like Halloween H20 did with parts 4,5 and 6.
Part 3 was actually ok, but 4 was awful, no gore, no humour. And they turned Ug evil! The first two Critters films were minor classics, very entertaining. I hope Charlie is back for the sequels.
One last sequel would be enough. But they should actually spend money on it. It would be great for them to use cg to make the critters. Plus the forth movie didn't have such a great ending as the other 3 did. So they need to make one more.
I hope they do!
"It would be great for them to use cg to make the critters"
Oh, God no. Are you crazy? You know how bad that CGI would suck? The ONLY time you should use CGI in movies is when there is simply something you just cannot re-create in real life. Critter puppets can be made and with modern technology could probably look pretty good. Just look at Chuck in Seed of Chucky. If Critters had CGI, it might look as bad as the Sci-Fi channels stink fest 'Raptor Island'. Critters + CGI = CRAP!
yea ur right. But that wouldnt matter, just as long as its a GOOD story! I remember reading somewhere like a month ago, that new line cinema was considering making Critters 5.
shareum...NO! CGI critters is not the way to go!
share[deleted]
I doubt that there will be a critters 5, I don't i'd like to see it get made.

actually i kind od remember hearing about this a couple years ago but it never happen guess fell through or was a rumor or something
shareIn the Nightmare on Elm Street Infinifilm DVD there is a new Documentry About New Line Cinema and they even talked about how they are still going to make Critters 5
shareRemake the film. No part 5 please.
shareDon't remake, do sequals, but i was sure id seen part 5 and 6, i remember the cover having then land on the critters home plannet or something, it was a while ago and i was browsing through films, i hadn't heard of critters back then and only came 2 love the movies when my mate rented the dvd's... up to 4 of course, but i'm sure i've seen 5 and 6 somewhere, maybe knock off, made by fans but i'm sure ive seen them.
shareYeah...too bad there is no 5 or 6. Nice try though. You fail.
sharejust checked out comingsoon.net looking for any info on critters 5 or 6
there is no new news now I think Newline drop the Idea of making them
I would enjoy seeing them get made but critters 4 was bad not enough
critters stuff there if they make a new one they should make it better
with tons of critters in it like part one which still is my favorite
part 2 was the same as part one but good and part 3 could been better
I think they should done better in Part 3 is make all the actors in danger
and make the critters to be known some times scripts are not as good as
they should be I think NewLine would love to make another film to make fans
happy I am big fan and it stinks there no making features for the movies
all you get is trailers NewLine very good at marketing films for everybody
who enjoys horror and enjoy comedy I love horror Comedy some would say
that Critters is good as campy kind of way must film studeo try to stay away
from kids being in the films if NewLine does make Critters 5 and 6 it would
be great I love the critters movies take care and sorry if there are any miss
spells
Here is a idea for part 4 that a lot of people say that all of the main actors for the first movie would be dead because it was done in the future part 4 was. Technically speaking they would not be dead because right now Scott Grimes is 37 or 38 years old, his older sister would be in her 40's and that would place Mrs. Stone at her late 50's or early 60's you know.
How can that be old? Explain that to me? Here is a way that for those who say they are too old why not have these main characters from the first movie appear as the second or third generation of the people in the first movie. Just a thought and idea for a fifth movie.

If a new Sleepaway Camp can be made, so can Critters 5.
I know what you mean about that! It will more than likely be made just give it some time and we will all see it if not then possibly a revamped Critters movies will be done from the first one all the way on through to a fourth one.

That is great to hear if that happens!

There was plans for a Critters 5 to be released in 1994. This was to involve snow or something, i think it was revealed of wikipedia but i can't seem to find it now. Anyway the plans for a 5th movie was scrapped.
shareThat is what usually happens out in Hollywood. They make plans for a second movie and then do not follow through with it. I was hoping that they would have came out with this one movie called Electra 2 with Shannon Tweed but they did not though. I loved the first movie they made. It said at the end of the movie a sequel was going to be made but it never happened though.

I did like the idea of a 5th Critters movie involved with snow. Imagine when a snowball fight happens and you pick up a critter, thinking it was a snowball and you get bitten.
shareNow that would have been cool to see! That is a interesting idea too. Possibly someone will pick it up and want to do a fifth installment to Critters. I would not mind seeing like a old episode of American Gladiators or New American Gladiators and the guys who hunt crates mophs into a female Gladiator. That would have been cool to see.

Yea think one set around christmas would be great. Though just imagine all the gremlin rip-off comments it would get then. But could jsut picture teh smallt own snowy scenes with critters, adn could have the film lead up to the Krties taking over and terrorizing a mall.
shareThat would be all cool to see to be honest with you!
