I guess there are TWO versions of SWAMP THING

[FuSoYa]

This movie that was on the USA network on occasion. Except the thing is, there were 2 of them. They usually played the crappier, less interesting one, and they showed this movie like very couple months or something!

But only twice ever did I see this OTHER, spare version of SWAMP THING, where SWAMP THING crushes the head of a clean shaven Che Guevara looking dude, and there's a banquet table at the end with a midget with a prehensile tail.


BEST SPARE MOVIE EVER.

Did I imagine the whole USA network horror movie childhood thing? I know we were talking about Sssssssss a while back. Come on, dudes! SWAMP THING!

Although this second version you are talking about sounds interesting.

dude swamp thing rocks!

 

[Baliset]

i am right there with you watching all of the USA movies like that. swamp thing, toxic avenger. great times were had in my childhood.

and this isn't the RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING?

 

[FuSoYa]

I seriously remember contemplating lighting a body part on fire and dunking it into a bayou at several points in my youth.

 

[FuSoYa]

No, I'm pretty sure not. Because in each version, there was a drawn out ORIGIN OF SWAMP THING.

 

[FuSoYa]

aka chemicals on body lit on fire and dunked into bayou.

 

[goatschool]

okay, because another indicator would be the ST costume. RETURN had a batman suit sculpted look.

is there a difference between a midget with a prehensile tail and a monkey?

Work kept me from keeping your thread from dying. My bad.

Perhaps the director pulled a George Lucas and hideously re-filmed the movie so it barely resembles its original self?

 

[FuSoYa]

Oddly, the Che Guevara guy did kind of look like Caribe from TV's Caribe.

There needs to be a game, 6 Degrees of daytime USA Network horror movies of the 1980s.

 

[goatschool]

hahahahaha. i would play this game.

a particular fave would be CURSE II: THE BITE.

also, i long for the days of USA NIGHT FLIGHT

You know, there were also two versions of INVADERS FROM MARS.
wtf is it with USA and having spares of their movies? ??



I should like to point out that Invaders from Mars is pretty fucking creepy. Especially the CRATER OF SAND where the ship was buried. I know where there are a few of those in CT.
