Music composer Harry Manfredini had previously composed the music score for Friday the 13th (1980) and Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) (as well as their later sequels) with his score for this film containing multiple similarities to the theme music from those films.
Dick Durock had been brought on board the project as a stuntman. However, the filmmakers found that it impossible to go from Durock to Ray Wise (who had been cast as Alec Holland, Swamp Thing's former self) and back again because the two men looked so different in Swamp Thing's makeup. Durock also portrayed the agent that was leaving the island when Charlie and Cable first land in the plane.
Adrienne Barbeau's topless scene was shot and intended for use solely in the European release and therefore not included in the American cut. "It was one of those things of just gratuitous breast-ness," director Wes Craven said on the DVD commentary. While the PG cut teases a brief profile shot, Craven believed the full scene was the absolute definition of gratuitous. "When it first came out on DVD through MGM they released the European cut in the States," DVD commentary moderator Sean Clark said. "Once it was discovered, they immediately recalled it." According to Clark, MGM contacted Barbeau to see if she would just sign off on the mistake, but she refused, citing the terms of her contract.

Stuntman Anthony Cecere, who also did the Freddy burn in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), "taught himself how to do it by trying various chemicals on himself around the family swimming pool and setting himself on fire."
"Jude: Oh Shit... Here Comes Trouble!"
"Swamp Thing: Everything's a dream when you're alone."
