@Saturn867 Remember, this is the second time it confronted humans, and humans are all different, so it never really knew how to adapt and how to attack the humans
I was walking down the street earlier today and one of my neighbors dogs started barking at me and I said, " Yeah, Fuck You Too!!" the same way Mac just said it. When I did that it reminded me of this. Great Movie!!
Hmmmm...I kinda think the last creature was kind a let down. I can't place my finger on it, but it just seems to lack the originality of the other transformed bodies.
@animehobo Originally it was just going to look like blair with a worm-like body and the dog monster crawling out with tentacles flailing around and nauls was suppose to be joined at the tail end of the thing.
@animehobo I might have the answer good sir. With this thing we see human and dog parts. " main sections of it are easilly recognised as dogs. Its using more teeth than any of the last and we dont really see mobility from this particular thing. Its either because we can see it cant move or because we start to see signs of desperation from this thing. Hope this is the answer your looking for.
@hoosmyster I agree. I think the reason why this form isn't as scary as the others is because it is completely alien, whereas it was far more horrific to see the horribly transformed bodies of former characters.
@soggycloth It might be the transformation itself, this one we recognise most body parts and most of the different 3 main segments maintained a body, lets take the guy who needed chest paddles for example. His stomach opened to having teeth then spewing tentacles. To see a kinda double whammy thing catches its audience by surprise but this one just kinda goes all out right off the bat. Thanks for the reply btw
Best Thing creature of all, it's very sad that JC couldn't make this scene like how he wanted to make it. I saw the script and the creature was suppose to smash 2 times with his tentacles. Also Naul's death was suppose to be in the movie but wasn't filmed because of lack on money and time
Nah, they weren`t wierdos at all, just very good at thinking `What if a horrible alien came form earth and attacked Humans in the most horrible way possible?`
then they made it happen. Any film maker or story writer has to be able to think creatively like this.
@100mmatte lol. No. this is near the END of the movie. You need to go to part1 of the Thing or buy the film. See it from the start or you`ll ruin it for yourself.
@seafireliv no wait, but i saw a scene where the explorers visit the burnt base. so the scene had to be at the beginning. idk i jus scrolled through channels and saw thescene.then watched something else.came back to the channel and it was the scene where they visit the burnt place
Go and watch the full film. Buy it or rent the DVD. The way you`re watching it in bits on utube is confusing you. This is not the burnt Norwegian camp. This is their American camp they burnt to try and destroy the Thing later on. This clip here is at the end of the film, everything else happens before.
@seafireliv the dog scene wasnt too bad, although i hate it when dogs die. it makesme sad. but the norrisand palmer sceneswereterrifying. especially when that guy got his arms chewed off, and when that guy got his head snatchd.
@100mmatte What amazed me at the time was how they got his head to fall off the table and still get it moving its face in pain- All that had me scared for weeks.
@seafireliv the people that made this movie were weirdos, but i'm impressed. and the head spider thing wasnt too scary. but seeing the head get removed was
Yeah... it's an alien so I guess it's capable of creating itself out of basically nothing. Another example of this is when MacReady takes the hot poker to the little puddle of blood, and a massive arm jumps out of the plastic tray. Doesn't really make sense :)
@lundell100 It`s not a massive arm, just it`s blood jumping up in one great motion. think like a puddle jumping up like a sheet of paper. later we see it runs away like a puddle again.
Come to think of it, did they ever torch that running away blood? Or did they forget about it?
Or worse: What if there was burnt tissue left over from The Thing that somehow managed to hitch a ride on whoever investigated the remains of the arctic base? If it did, it would claim even more victims and spread to more highly populated areas in order to collect more biomass. And then....Maybe it's best not to think about it.
The people saying how the ship goes crazy and crashs because they think "The Thing" is just a random lone parasite or virus that attacked the creature flying the ship thus starting all this is right. I just wish I knew where the parasite actually came from and how the alien that got infected acted. Obiviously not as well as the other guys :P
I wonder how the THING's civilization would look like. Would each thing be different or would they have a TRUE form like the one from from the spaceship? Also how can something so that has blood naturally dripping from it and so much split openings be so smart and successful to come to Earth!??!
Maybe it doesn't have a civilization, but was a rogue passenger to another civilization's ship.....it seems like maybe in the beginning the ship wobbles out of control from an attack? Ominous.....
@AceofDlamonds You know what i think? I don't think the Thing is even a creature. It could be just extraterrestrial virus-cells that have a "mind" of their own. They absorb and imitate other cells make the host a shape shifting alien creature which has no limited possibility in what it can turn into. The one they found on the ship may just be an alien host the THING invaded into to. Their civilization wouldn't be identical due to its different transformations but they know one from another.
Well "creature" doesn't really have a unambiguous denotation of its own, but I guess you're idea of it is fairly accurate.
Yes the one from the ship is, in my opinion, better suited as a member of another civilization who got owned by the thing before they reached Earth.
I wouldn't even say the "thing" is made of cells or even a VIRUS! Although virus is the closest term we have to describe it. It may not originally had cells......who's to say cells even exist outside of Earth.
@AceofDlamonds We cannot come to a correct conclusion unless the creator of the idea behind the THING says anything about such topic. Another question may be if the THING stores all knowledge of its host in order to survive since it probably did to fly the spaceship but failed somewhere and crashed down.
Sure, and call me obsessed but over the past 2 years I have studied this film in detail, grabbing every bit of director's knowledge I could find. He wants the audience to be the primary observers and concluders. We can conclude things based upon what the film provides and what the actors hint at us.
@AceofDlamonds If only I had the time to do the same as you because I am also obsessed with such alien life-form. Anyways we sure have came to many conclusions which makes the viewers hooked to the movie.
@AceofDlamonds As a kid i was stuck on the ending "I thought i saw Blair, went after him and got lost in the storm" yea right and you found your way back just to tell me that. (i would like to think that they got rid of it and survived in one peace) but then perhaps when Child's says "did u kill it" he was referring to it being the human MacReady, and they both know that they are both the thing. Who really knows? that s the genius of films like this, the speculation is infinite.
interesting observation. Although there would be a major plot hole if MAcready was the thing, so it's heavily taken that Mac is the only survivor and he even says "where were you Childs!?" with a peculiar gaze in his eyes, indicating suspicion. I think we ought to look with Mac's eyes in this case. =)
@AceofDlamonds There wouldn't be a plot hole if the thing some how got to Mac after the explosion, (i think thats what lingered in our minds in the end. If Mac really thought Childs was different to him (or a threat) i cant see him just giving up like that. not after all he went through.
I highly doubt that. The way this thing was filmed (no pun intended) was largely in Mac's POV. It might as well show him at the end ready to die.....there was no time at all for the thing to assimilate Mac at the end. After the "fuck you too!" line he runs like hell and there's the great explosions....then we see Mac walking the ruins in the bleak landscape. Just look at the flow of the script. And Mac's suspicion of Childs "where were you Childs!?"

John Carpenter is old school man, he's not like the other directors who plan each scene on a different day this last scene from "the thing" is the actual and last day they ever shot of "the thing" and you can tell it was like a last minute boom but it worked! I miss the old Carpenter!
Not really.They shot the scenes in the Nors Camp (when MacReady and the Doc discover the splitface) using the destroyed setting of the american camp in order to save money.So the boom was not the last scene shot.
@Boogung This scene with the monster was originally going to be slightly longer. The dog in the chest was supposed to jump out (though still connected to the main body by an umbilical cord) and go after the main character. If you buy the old dvd of this movie, you can see the unused footage. The reason why it was cut was because the extended footage used stop-motion animation, and the director saw the animation being too unrealistic.
The artwork that was created for it is CREEPY though.
@elvampe13 I'm glad they didn't do that. That would mean MacReady would have waited like an idiot before throwing the dynamite to let The Thing attack him. People look at this scene the wrong way. The Thing attacked to get the plunger to the explosives and was unleashing the dog to finish off MacReady, it didn't anticipate MacReady would have a dynamite stick at the ready. It shows just how smart and strategic a person MacReady is.
After the dog-thing killed off the other dogs, there was still one more dog left alive. Blaire was running tests through the dog with Clark in the room, asking Clark how long he was with the dog. And there was a dog on the ground breathing and being tested.
Remember? That was the only dog remaining and obviously assimilated into the Blair-thing
Then when Clark went nuts, and killed the dog. Most people think Clark is infected when he went through this stage, so he could of infected the dog when killing it. Blood contamination?
The prequel to this film is trash through and through. The only thing and I mean only thing good it added was that The Thing cannot replicate none organic material so if someone has anything none organic in them, plates, fillings etc then it spits them out and you can tell who is an alien because that person no longer has any metal in them
@Colton5 Yeah but it "Show me your fillings!" Didn't have the same suspense as the blood testing. It was just...oh...cool he has good teeth, very white. Good work. NEXT!
@applepie231 i guess i didnt hit u that, that scene of the new film was VERY suspenseful (it was a letdown tho) imagine staring down the maw of something that inhuman, just craving for blood
something i dont get. if they take a knife and slice someones arm a little bit, wont the arm turn into a monster if it is an alien? that would be a lot easier to find who is a monster
Personally, I think MacReady should have said, "Happy Bdy Badya Birthday you you you Thing from another world you" as he throws the stick. Followed by the Thing saying "Ohhhhh Thank you" then Boom! :)
@Sumuois maybe it diddnt actually know what bomb does, but heck it has assimilated other people so the thing should have an idea what would happen but hey, what's done is done..
A lot of analyzers suggest that it was a psychological attack on MacCready.. a distraction.....kind of like the Norris chest monster......because you see Blair's body and a grotesque monster mouth protruding from it........I'd probably faint if this was real. But you see, Mac is strong and has the will to live.
i garantee u its the movie there is nothing diffrent about the 2011 the thing the only diffirence is that there was no female on the 1982 the thing so if u notice the exact samething that i notice in that movie is still the same only with or without the girl to me i think that movie was a waste of film thats my opinon oh wow its been 29 years and your telling me the movie is different because of the distance of the years interesting lol
i garantee u its the movie there is nothing diffrent about the 2011 the thing the only diffirence is that there was no female on the 1982 the thing so if u notice the exact samething that i notice in that movie is still the same only with or without the girl to me i think that movie was a waste of film thats my opinon
the thing 2011 is just a remake of the 1982 movie the thing i think its stupid to remake a movie with the same senrio i wouldnt even waste my time or money to go see that movie but for those who didnt see the 1982 the thing you miss a great movie........thumbsdown to all remakes like nightmare on elm,my bloody vatentine,april fools day and last but least 2011 the thing
@98zombielover Yeah I'm not sure about the remake but I'm goin to see it just because I love the moive back in the day. But it's really dumb how they put a chick in it llol not to be sexiest but they had a chick in 1982
This movie was NOT the original Thing movie, have you forgotten there was a black and white version in 1951? this movie is a remake but a faithful re-adaptation of Who Goes There by John Campbell. The new one is a prequel.
@luckycharmsfurlife Partially correct actually. They based one Necromorph (the Divider) off the thing. I know that for sure. Other wise i think they got the feeling of hopelessness and destruction from the Thing too
@luckycharmsfurlife The divider was the tall skinny one that made like wailing noises, and once you did enough damage to it, it's arms, and head+ spinal cord would come apart and start attacking you individually. The death scene is like the head wrapping around your neck and choking you to the point your head falls off and it attaches itself and starts using your body. It's quite brutal actually... haha
It's a sarlacc pit!

Not really.They shot the scenes in the Nors Camp (when MacReady and the Doc discover the splitface) using the destroyed setting of the american camp in order to save money.So the boom was not the last scene shot.

why did it just sit there after coming out completely, instead of attacking Macready?

@Boogung This scene with the monster was originally going to be slightly longer. The dog in the chest was supposed to jump out (though still connected to the main body by an umbilical cord) and go after the main character. If you buy the old dvd of this movie, you can see the unused footage. The reason why it was cut was because the extended footage used stop-motion animation, and the director saw the animation being too unrealistic.
The artwork that was created for it is CREEPY though.

@elvampe13 I'm glad they didn't do that. That would mean MacReady would have waited like an idiot before throwing the dynamite to let The Thing attack him. People look at this scene the wrong way. The Thing attacked to get the plunger to the explosives and was unleashing the dog to finish off MacReady, it didn't anticipate MacReady would have a dynamite stick at the ready. It shows just how smart and strategic a person MacReady is.

@Jcc722
After the dog-thing killed off the other dogs, there was still one more dog left alive. Blaire was running tests through the dog with Clark in the room, asking Clark how long he was with the dog. And there was a dog on the ground breathing and being tested.
Remember? That was the only dog remaining and obviously assimilated into the Blair-thing

Then when Clark went nuts, and killed the dog. Most people think Clark is infected when he went through this stage, so he could of infected the dog when killing it. Blood contamination?
Idk, just a guess.

The prequel to this film is trash through and through. The only thing and I mean only thing good it added was that The Thing cannot replicate none organic material so if someone has anything none organic in them, plates, fillings etc then it spits them out and you can tell who is an alien because that person no longer has any metal in them
Colton5 4 months ago
@Colton5 Yeah but it "Show me your fillings!" Didn't have the same suspense as the blood testing. It was just...oh...cool he has good teeth, very white. Good work. NEXT!

something i dont get. if they take a knife and slice someones arm a little bit, wont the arm turn into a monster if it is an alien? that would be a lot easier to find who is a monster

Personally, I think MacReady should have said, "Happy Bdy Badya Birthday you you you Thing from another world you" as he throws the stick. Followed by the Thing saying "Ohhhhh Thank you" then Boom! :)

A lot of analyzers suggest that it was a psychological attack on MacCready.. a distraction.....kind of like the Norris chest monster......because you see Blair's body and a grotesque monster mouth protruding from it........I'd probably faint if this was real. But you see, Mac is strong and has the will to live.

This movie was NOT the original Thing movie, have you forgotten there was a black and white version in 1951? this movie is a remake but a faithful re-adaptation of Who Goes There by John Campbell. The new one is a prequel.

luckycharmsfurlife 4 months ago
@luckycharmsfurlife The divider was the tall skinny one that made like wailing noises, and once you did enough damage to it, it's arms, and head+ spinal cord would come apart and start attacking you individually. The death scene is like the head wrapping around your neck and choking you to the point your head falls off and it attaches itself and starts using your body. It's quite brutal actually... haha
