Continuity mistake: When the old man is fixing the water fountain, a towel appears / disappears between shots.
Continuity mistake: After water falls on Billy's desk, the table and floor appear totally dry.
Continuity mistake: When Billy is tied up in the dentist's chair, he's got a single wire tying him up, but a double wire in the close-ups. The bandage on his forehead is also either covering his eyebrows or not, depending on the angle.

Greta the Gremlin: Oh, why can't you commit?
Trivia: When that insane gremlin has Billy sitting in a dentist chair and is attacking him with the dentist tool, at some point he asks, "Is it safe?", for many it must have seemed senseless, but it is actually a nod to the 1976 movie "Marathon man", in which, during a scene, Dustin Hoffman is sitting on a dentist chair while tortured with a dentist tool by an ex- Nazi (played majestically by Sir Laurence Olivier) who keeps asking him the same question once and again.
Question: The IMDB states that Bubba Smith was in this movie as himself. What scene is he in?

Answer: He's at the salad bar when the gremlin pops out and grabs a guy. The guy they grab is former football star, Dick Butkus.
