Suggested correction: There have been other times when mogwais and gremlins get wet and don't multiply suggesting it's water, not water based liquids. In the first movie for example when the gremlins are drinking beer and Gizmo gets licked by the dog without multiplying.

Continuity mistake: Right before Mr. Futterman is attacked by the flying gremlin his coat is already scratched up from the claws.

More trivia for Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Question: Given Kate met Gizmo in the previous movie, how could she mistake Daffy for him? He looks different from Gizmo.

Rob245

Answer: She only saw him briefly, never in full light either. Plus, it was some time ago. I don't think she would suspect there is another one either.

At the end of the first movie, after killing the gremlins, everyone is at Billy's house, and Kate puts a thermometer in Gizmo's mouth and looks directly at him while doing it, giving her plenty of time to look at him.

Still, very briefly, still in low light. She has had way less interaction with Gizmo overall.
