TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

John Carpenter has stated that of all his films, this is his personal favorite.

It has become a tradition in British Antarctic research stations to watch The Thing (1982) as part of their Midwinter feast and celebration held every June 21.

The film is considered a benchmark in special make-up effects. The effects were created by Rob Bottin, who was only 22 when he started the project.

(at around 1h 17 mins) David Clennon's line, "You've got to be fucking kidding." is Kurt Russell's favorite and never fails to make him crack up.

To give the illusion of icy Antarctic conditions, interior sets on the Los Angeles sound stages were refrigerated down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, while it was well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside.

Popular Dialogues

"[Norris' head grows legs and tries to walk away] Palmer: [1:17:22] You gotta be fuckin' kidding."

"Garry: [1:26:18] I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!"
