In the filming of Gremlins 2, the pyrotechnics who came over to set alight the Spider Mohawk model fucked up the first time, burning a perfectly good animatronic to the ground in seconds. The intensify of the fire was so great that all that showed on camera was white flames. What a waste of a perfectly great animatronic.

 

Thank you Gremlins 2 commentary. Stay tuned for more fun Gremlins movie facts.
