Who knew? We never imagined hed run for president, says director Joe Dante, who parodied Donald Trump as a major character 25 years ago in the horror comedy sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
John Glover receives third billing as Daniel Clamp, a wacky, publicity-loving real estate developer and best-selling author who wants to level part of downtown New York to create the Clamp Chinatown Center, where business gets oriented.
Much of the action takes place at the moguls brand-new Clamp Premier Regency Trade Center in Midtown obviously modeled on the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, which opened in 1983 where the logo outside shows the world held in a vise.

This should be a fun thread. Did anyone see “Gremlins 2”? I never did.

The only thing I remember about those Gremlin movies was that Phoebe Cates never took her clothes off in them.

Yeah, being a publicity lover is so déclassé, as Senator Chuck the F... Schumer will be glad to tell you.

I saw that movie in the early 80s. I never could understand why it was not more popular.
Phoebe even sang the theme song.

Yep. Actually a group took on the name and I had just seen them on TV. I’d almost like to change the name, frankly.

I don’t remember that one, but I remember “The First Wives Coub”, with Ivana Trump cameo at the end.
