*A poster for Critters can be seen in the Smart Egg film 'Evil Ed', its a scene where he gets stalked by a goofy gremlin.
*Scott Grimes (Bradley Brown from the first 2 flicks) went on to become a pop singer and then went on to star as the son 'Steve' in 'American Dad'.
*Don Opper was abducted by aliens and never seen again.
*Terrence Mann went on to play the roll as 'Bob the Wizard' in the Syfy Original Special 'The Dresden Files'. He had a British accent in it.
*I refused to look at the covers to any of the movies until I was 12.

If I get a chance to talk to Don Opper i'll tell him about this Critters fan site and I'll tell him he should join and talk about the Critters films.....I know that would probably never happen but how cool would that be.

*Don Keith Opper and Terrence Mann weren spoken by two of the most well known dubbing voices in Germany: -Manfred Lehmann (Charlie Mc Fadden), who is the standard-dubbing voice for Bruce Willis, Gérard Depardieu, Dolph Lundgren, Kurt Russell und James Woods. -Thomas Dannemann (Ug) who already gave his voice to actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta, Terence Hill, Dan Aykroyd, John Cleese und Dennis Quaid.
(Don't know, if it is of some interest, but i thought it would fit here in this thread^^')

I got nearly the same problem.^^ It is very diffucult for me to understand a movie, when it is in its original language. In Germany every film, series, and movie is getting dubbed. So we're not used to understand or speak english, although everybody had learned it at school.
