Brainimages

The Brain gremlin, a mutated gremlin a highly intelligent gremlin capable of speaking good english.

The language of Mogwai and Gremlin is the main method of communication that the two species share. It is not translated into the film (as it is too complicated to be put into a movie). The actors made up gibberish words and or played with voices to make up the speech and voice of Mogwai and Gremlins. Actor Howie Mandel uses the word "caca" which Stripe/Mohawk repeats everytime he sees Gizmo. Caca means crap.

Communication[]

  • Mr. Wing knows of the language when communicating to Gizmo at the end of the first movie. This shows that Mr. Wing does know the language of Mogwai and Gremlins. Mr. Wing repeats the word pronounced as "ho-la" to Gizmo.
  • Stripe when he was a Mogwai was whispering to the other Mogwais of a plan when they found Billy left to go get them food.
  • Stripe and Mohawk repeat the phrase, "Gizmo, caca!". In Spanish, French, and Dutch, "caca" literally means "crap", so this is a way of showing their dislike for Gizmo.
  • The gremlins appear to be able to speak English better than the Mogwai, although both species appear to be able to understand the language quite fluently.
  • The Mogwai's vast intelligence interfered with their ability to communicate (Mogtermen the creator of Mogwai said it was because they thought so much faster than they could verbalize).
  • In the first novel, Chetz-wubba is a mogwai curse word used by Stripe when Gizmo would not tell him the three secrets. However, in the novel of the second film, Gizmo says that there are no curse words in mogwai language and that the closest thing to one is "stinky ice cream" and "really bad person".
