The movie "Gremlins" was not a big hit like, say, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean or Superman but it has a significant, invaluable contribution to Pinoy pop culture [gasgas na gasgas wisecracks category].
For an example, check out this everyday conversation between two Pinoys...
Person 1: Bad trip, umuulan nanaman!
Person 2: Paano tayo makakasplit dito. Dapat nagdala ako ng payong... buwiset!!!
Person 1: Takbuhin nalang natin. Tara na.
Person 2: HUWAG, MABABASA KA... BAKA DUMAMI KA!
For all of you who don't know the story of Gremlins here's one from IMDB...
"Sure, he's cute. Of course you can keep him. But heed these three warnings: Don't ever get him wet. Keep him away from bright light. And the most important thing, the one thing you must never forget: no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs . . . never, never feed him after midnight. With these mysterious instructions, young Billy Peltzer takes possession of his cuddly new pet. He gets a whole lot more than he bargained for."
THERE YOU HAVE IT. DON'T EVER GET HIM WET BECAUSE WHEN A MAGWIE TURNS INTO AN UGLY FEROCIOUS GREMLIN AND GETS WET, THE THING MULTIPLIES.
SO NEVER EVER BRAVE THE RAIN, DIVE INTO A POOL, TAKE A SHOWER. ETC.
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA HEAR ANOTHER OVER-USED WISECRACK LIKE THIS: BAKA DUMAMI KA!!!
