Part of the magic about this ending is that you just don't really know who was infected at the end. Fantastic movie, one of my favourite movies of all time

Dude, not all these guys are supposed to be scientists. Like there's also a helicopter pilot, another one's a cook, another guy is a radio man, a security guy, a guy who tends to the dog kennel, you get the picture. The scientists (as far as I know) were Blair, Copper, and Fuchs.

I have worked in the military in arctic temps, and I have spent time as a marksmanship instructor, for reference. Shooting a small moving target from a helicopter, in sub-zero temps, while snowblind, wearing mittens, and through a scope (which would really be a hinderance in this scenario) is a one-in-a-hundred proposition for even an excellent marksman. Saying he’s a bad shot is pretty funny. Dude’s hands are no doubt frozen and it’s perfectly reasonable that he would lose his grip on the grenade also. When you get that cold your motor skills go to absolute crap, and even walking and talking become very difficult.

"I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is." Fun Fact: Can you spot the fake fact? Budget Friendly Fact: The Norwegian camp scenes were actually the charred remains of the American site from the end of the film. Rather than go to the expense of building and burning down another camp, John Carpenter re-used the destroyed American camp. Practical Effects Fact: 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. To create the effect of the title, an animation cell with "The Thing" written on it was placed behind a smoke-filled fish tank which was covered with a plastic garbage bag. The bag was ignited, creating the effect of the title burning onto the screen. Ending Explained Fact: According to an apocryphal story first reported on Reddit in February 2013, when asked about the ambiguous ending of the film, John Carpenter responded that he never understood how could there be any confusion about whether Childs or MacReady are human or not, because the last scene shows: "Kurt Russell and Keith David staring each other down, harshly backlit. It's completely, glaringly obvious that Kurt Russell is breathing, and Keith David is not."
@AlcyoneReacts3 күн бұрын
Not sure what fact is fake...they all seem pretty believable. And I guess I wasn't paying enough attention at the end there cause I didn't notice at all that Childs didn't have breath coming out

Great reaction to my favorite John Carpenter,Kurt Russell collab. A great movie i always prefer these movies with practical effects above CGI. A Theory of the ending of the movie is that Childs is the thing, because you see Mcready breath because of the cold and nothing is coming from Childs Mouth.

It's a Super cell Organism, that has the ability to effect DNA changes at a extremely fast rate and copy cells.{ Of equal bio mass}. It's original form would have been a Super cell ameba.. From what i remember the writer and art concept person said: That ship was a Zoology craft, it had 8 aliens operating it. One of the animals on the ship was infected by the Thing, and it got out and infected the engineer. From that point before it had a chance to infect the pilot, the pilot forced a crash landing on earth. During the movie this makes sense because the shapes it takes, are not from Earth, but from what was captured on the ship. The creature after it infected Blair, passed on the knowledge of the engineer and pilot for him to build a ship from scratch and to fly it. <~ We know the Dog infect Blair to pass on this info. If Palmer got Blair, Blair would have the know how to fly a chopper and not need to build a craft. This movies timeline is only 4 nights, which the first day is sunlight. So to give Blair the most time needed to construct that ship, he must have been infected before he destroyed everything. Remember he took the parts off the things he destroyed for his Hovercraft. Making the big, no one is going to leave is good. That means no one can follow him, when he leaves. Smashing stuff, covers his tracks of taking parts :)

This movie scared the out of me when I was a kid. I'd lay in bed, in the dark, thinking of the forms it could take to get into the house, to my room, to me. And if I just stayed awake, maybe I could hear it coming and have a chance to run away.. Maybe I could stay awake.. This movie really messed me up. I'm a huge fan of this movie and the idea of the organism. I mean, I never want to ever encounter such an organism, but you get what I mean. Blair was human when they locked him in the shack. It got to him either by opening the door or by tunneling in. Or, technically, it could have become something very small, crawled in under the door and attacked him while he slept by entering through his ear or mouth, or, it doesn't really matter much, it could simply inject a bit of itself into you and you're pretty much done. The scary thing about the thing is that you can be almost completely sure you haven't gotten all of it. Let's just assume all of the thing that presented itself to Macready was destroyed, all cells dead, and let's assume neither Macready nor Childs is the thing. We still have so many unknowns. Was the giant thing that Macready blew up really all of it? Could it have split itself up with a few small parts going here and there, some burying themselves to freeze and wake up later? We don't know. And what about the Norwegian camp? And what about the UFO site? What about INSIDE THE UFO? And we remember, it only takes 1 thing cell to take over all life on earth. And let's say we've accounted for all those locations, what about other parts of the thing that may have crawled away from the ufo hundreds of thousands of years ago? It's possible the thing may have infected an entire ecosystem that ended up freezing all those thousands of years ago and is waiting to be thawed.. The more one thinks about it, the more it seems infinitely unlikely the thing has been completely destroyed. And then, consider that those aliens that crashed on earth, probably due to becoming overtaken by the thing while they were navigating, also are out there somewhere, and the thing is out there in space, having infected thousands of lifeforms on an unknown number of planets, and there's any number of ways they could potentially come to earth again. Perhaps the humans of earth will be the next space explorers to find it and make the mistake of having it on our ship with us.
