The Plate-tosser was a member of the first batch spawned from Gizmo. Like his other four siblings, he was first a mogwai and then transformed into a gremlin after eating after midnight.
History[]
Gremlins[]
The Plate-tosser attacks Lynn by throwing plates
After killing the Blender Gremlin, Lynn Peltzer got multiple plates hurled towards her by the Plate-Throwing Gremlin and by so, discovered that there were more of them around. She grabs a TV tray table to block the plates thrown at her, advances toward the gremlin and ultimately stabs him multiple times with a kitchen knife and then leaves the knife stuck in his bleeding body. The gremlin writhes around in a death struggle until he dies moments afterwards.
Trivia[]
- In Gremlins 2, Lenny briefly attacks Marge in a manner reminiscent of the Plate-thrower by clumsily throwing random kitchen equipment at her.
- The script originally had an extended scene where the gremlin trying to pull the knife out of its body, but this was left out of the film. However, as Lynn turns to kill Haskins, the Plate tosser can be seen behind her still trying to pull the knife out as it’s writhing around on the countertop it's pinned to.
- He is the second Gremlin of the first Gremlin's group to die and the second killed by Lynn.
