In the original script for Gremlins, Gizmo was supposed to be the villain, turning into the gremlin Stripe and becoming the leader of the gremlin pack. Steven Spielberg (who produced the film) suggested they change that plot point because he felt Gizmo was cute and audiences would want to see him throughout the film.
Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (which also both happen to be Spielberg-produced films) were responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating system. Both films, while rated PG, contained lots of violence, but not enough to warrant an R rating.
Tim Burton almost directed Gremlins, but was eventually passed over because he had never directed a feature length film.
