Preston Sturges, the movies' screw-bailer supreme, would have appreciated Billy's dad Rand (Hoyt Axton), an absent-minded inventor whose contraptions range from the Bathroom Buddy Shaving Kit to the Peltzer Peeler Juicer, which ingests oranges and splatters their pulp against the kitchen wall in Gremlins' first glint of far-out domestic violence...
