@minhmook there were 4 dogs and 2 escaped but one got shot by acid and the other one was being absorbed by the tentacles so the guy shot it to put it out of its misery.
There IS a video game "of this", but rather a sequel about the military rescue team sent in during artic spring time to save them. came out in 02 for pc, ps2 and xbox. maybe it's like how blue shift and opposing force are to half-life? altough they where more "during" the same event, and not afterwords...
@poktfny The alien creature were trying to absorb the dog... the dog was being killed by that acid shot.. so... doesn't make so much differenze (sorry for my english, I'm italian)
I hate seeing animals suffer in films. I can watch people get killed and it doesn't bother me as much but I have a soft spot for animals. But this is still a great flick.
So wrong.... I can watch some pretty fucked up shit and feel fine.... but this makes me feel horrible...those dogs didn't deserve anything..... and that was pretty brutal like with the red tentacles sticking into those dogs...... I know its just a movie....but still..... I feel sick. Its like Prototype (Game) When he absorbs shit..... but way more brutal and realistic
@lumpyfishful Cell heaps connected to each other form one Entity. Once seperated they become individual entities that have no means of working together. In the movie the Thing also seems to have a viral aspect.
@lumpyfishful No, the concept of the Thing is very interesting, it's something like a virus, but it's a part of a whole entity at the same time, every living being that is infected it's a part of, and it's connected to the thing. So the thing can also split itself in order to survive (horrible scenes included). I'd like nowadays more horror movies have interesting basis and atmosphere like this one (not the same bullshit of a X virus and Ur imagination), is awsome!
I like this scene but i wish the dogs would hav started 2 pwn the thing like in the book and the thing sounds too much like a dog which is sad because i love dogs
To me, it's simply the greatest scene of the whole movie. (When McReady discovers the thing screaming in the light)
The way they made that trhing appears to those poor guys makes you feel like something just directly came out from hell to walk the earth.
The guy who did that (name: Rod) finished at the hospital because he worked to hard on his creations. But I seriously wonder if that genius artist went in a normal hospital or in a psychatric one.
First time I watched this on YouTube, I had this horrible feeling in my chest afterwards for two days... now I have it again....
This scene really disgusts me... one, because it happens to the poor dogs (had this happened to humans I wouldn't have cared, I tend to care for animals a lot more), and two because this stuff doesn't happen the same way in the book or in the 1950s movie, the dogs attack the thing and tear it up pretty good, they don't just stand there....
And the thing is kinda stupid anyway, it had the element of surprise and blew it, and got torched. I mean, it could have probably have just infected the dogs and not absorbed them, and then they would have a team of thing-dogs that are perfectly normal to the humans. It tells me they only did this scene to show off their bad-ass special effects, which admitedly are pretty good considering this is the 80s, but I'd rather look at something... I want to look at. I mean, the Xenomorph in Alien....
The flamethrower also! Too bad-ass show-offs in one scene! Why do they have a flamethrower? Flame doesn't even work in both book and previous movie, they just electrocute it instead.
I still find the "Mac wants a flamethrower!" "Mac wants the what?" exchange funny.
The Thing has better graphics considering the material theyre dealing with-they arent dealing with humanoid looking Xenomorphs, they are dealing with a shape-shifting monster and the creativity is flawless
besides, do you really believe dogs are going to accept the "new dog" to come and get close to infect them?"
I mean they practically knew something was up as soon as they saw it
My opinion has changed considerably since I posted that comment.
I think The Thing is a great horror movie, and I want to watch the whole of it someday. I will never like this scene, but it's intended to shock and horrify, and I feel it does that rather well (unless it's just because I like huskies). I also think, just judging from what I've heard, that this scene is intended to kinda show what the Thing can do, kinda set the mood for the rest of the movie.
it looked to me that the dog at 4:12 still had a chance though. IT wasn't completely absorbed. It looked like it was just pulling it towards itself to absorb it. But now that I watch again, very closely, I guess the dog wouldn't have had a chance.
@yellowmattereyecusta actually, they show the dog later when Mac shows up and the dog's skin and fur look like they are being broken down and liquified, so the stuff the thing sprays is probably some form of digestive acid
@yellowmattereyecusta I always saw it as some kind of goo to keep them still. When the tentacles come out you see it covered in the stuff. It was the one dog trying to get out and needed to be neutralized first before absorbsion.
"I can't aim for shit"? Not like you can tell if he hit it or not. it's not gonna do anything.
& that Dog was hardly a survivor. Any small contact with the THING is enough to take it over, that dog was wrapped in tentacles... He saved it the horror of experiencing assimilation.
Amazing, but... it's so dark it hurts my eyes XD

It wouldn't have mattered if they did. If the thing touches any complex organic lifeform, they also become the thing.
Biting the thing to death would not have killed it. It would have actually made all those dogs into things.
