I remember....mid 1980s....and I waited for a new issue to come in the mailbox in a bown paper sleeve. The early Alan Moore issues.... Gothic Horror stuff. Met him at a comic con and had him sign issue 21. Loved the old Berni Wrightson stuff though. The Swamp Thing title got me started collecting comics!
I remember this movie when I was a kid. I loved it because I thought it was awesome. Now, I've grown up... and still think it's awesome (albeit in a terrible way).
Hate me all you like. But I think this movie totally beat the original. Swamp Thing was portrayed better, looked better, and the movie was just kick ass. Don't get me wrong, the original's a classic. But I like this one better.
@Antichrist2000 DC and series writer Scott Snyder (writer of American Vampire & Detective Comics) have gone on record that the new series will build on all the previous history of Swamp Thing.
@johnnyhorror92182 I hate to sound dumb but… I'm sorry I am still not to sure what that means because..there have been a lot of "Previous histories" when it comes to Swamp Thing...
@Antichrist2000 Basically all of work laid down by creators Len Wein & Berni Wrightson through Alan Moore and everything in between and after. So nothing really much in the history of Swamp Thing has changed. The real Alec Holland however is back in the equation, but the Swamp Thing entity still exists too.
@HiCapacity Aside from "Return of Swamp Thing", Wynorski also directed the 1996 direct-to-video live-action "Vampirella" film (his only other super-hero film). He worked with B-Movie King Roger Corman as director for many of Corman's productions. He's also directed such films as "Chopping Mall" (1986), "Not of this Earth" (1988), "Transylvania Twist" (1989), "Body Chemistry Pt. 3 &4" (94, 95), "The Wasp Woman" (1995), "Sorority House Massacre 2" (1990), & "Cheerleader Massacre" (2003).
was smoking with my bro n we were talking about movies n out of no were i thought of this movie n i havent seen it in 15 years lol love this movie ,swamp thing kicks ass
I love the intro for this movie,showing all the comic adventures and every time I hear that song from CCR,I think of this intro. I sure do hope they come out with a 3rd Swamp thing movie someday,he's long overdue for that. And of course here's to you Mr.Durock RIP.
Love the music, hard too believe Dick Durrock is gone, he'll always be Swampthing, and the evil hulk creature on the Incredible Hulk episode, The First.
Swamp thing wasn't commited to Arkham Asylum. He came to Gotham City to find his lover, and was drawn to the Asylum because he felt the pressence of another plant being locked in there (the floronic man)
i always kinda dug swampys strangely upbeat attitude in this one. he must have gone to a motivational speaker between the first film and this sequel, lol:)
Haha pretty good yet funny movie, I think I've seen it about 300 times, used to watch it when I was skipping school, it was always on HBO. Oh yeah and Heather Locklear was and I think still is fucking hot.
Dr. Arcane created an account and gave this video a thumbs down.
