Murray is a veteran of the Second World War and he is well - known for his paranoia of foreign objects and vehicles . He is also known for a fondness for American made products . Like most of the residents of Kingston Falls , he has been hard hit when Ruby Deagle closed down many local businesses , causing Mr . Futterman to lose his job . As a result , he has no other choice but to started a snowplow business to make ends meet . He was the first one to predict the danger ahead ( even though he knew nothing about Billy ' s mogwai ) when he warned Billy Peltzer and Kate Beringer to watch out for foreign items , because they often had gremlins planted inside , " " The same gremlins that brought down our planes in the big one [ World War II ] " . " The gremlins arrived at his home soon after , first crippling his TV antenna , then driving his snow plow through his house , leaving nothing but a pile of rubble . Although it looked as if the Futtermans were killed by the Gremlins , both Murray and Sheila survive , though , and they return in " Gremlins 2 : The New Batch " , visiting Billy and Kate in their New York home . It is implied that Murray had been heavily traumatized by the Gremlin attack in Kingston Falls , and has had to be given prescibed medicine and see doctors . Although Sheila has also been scared by the snowplow attack , it appears she had made a better recovery . Gremlins 2 . While Murray and Sheila are touring New York City , they were attacked by the Bat Gremlin . Murray managed to ward off the Bat Gremlin , and dunk him in wet cement . The Bat Gremlin flew away , but got stuck atop Saint Patrick ' s Cathedral where the cement quickly hardened , transforming the Gremlin into a living gargoyle , frozen in time and he will somehow break free when the hardened cement begins to break up and escape Saint Patrick ' s Cathedral . Later , when the NYPD has sealed off the Clamp Center , Murray and Sheila were concerned that Kate and Billy are trapped inside . When Murray was the only man to see that Mr . Clamp was able to get onto the street by way of a secret passage , Murray used the secret elevator to get inside the Clamp Center to help Billy . He quickly found him being attacked by Daffy , then scared the goofy Gremlin away with a dentist light . After finding Spider Mohawk burning and saving Marla and Kate , Billy started to worry about the Gremlins escaping the skyscraper , and Futterman told him to not give up . Billy proposed the risky plan of using a fire hose on the Gremlins then releasing the Electric Gremlin on them in hopes they will be electrecuted . When Mr . Futterman was looking for a hose , though , a Gremlin spat on him , and he got so angry that he threw the Gremlin into an elevator , thus killing it . Mr . Futterman aided Billy by turning the hose on them . It is implied that when Murray helped in killing the Gremlins , he had taken his revenge for the snowplow attack and is now at peace . His wife came into the skyscraper and reunited with him afterwards . Outside the building , his wife was then listening to the star of Microwave With Marge , Marge , who was telling Sheila about a recipe , and Shelia told Murray that his favorite food is cheese food on top of another food , and Murray unhappily and with a lack of interest replied , " Yeah , sure " .
