πŸ₯¬πŸŒΏ SWAMP TRIVIA πŸ›ΆπŸŒ± πŸ₯¬ 🌿

Craven's Biggest Regret:
An underwater chase through flooded tunnels had to be dropped.

The completion bond company acted like jerks the whole production and demanded that scenes be cut from the third act to stay on schedule and under budget.

This special low-cut captive-prisoner evening wear is suitable for being bound to a chair at the banquet table AND being shackled in the dungeon.

It's the fashion statement today's woman is looking for.

I must report that I completely zone out whenever the evil rich guy in this movie gives his evil villain speeches. They seem pretty generic for evil speeches.

What is this, the 5th time she's had to run away and get captured by these gator survivalist fuckers?

Whoah what! Did Swamp Thing just swamp-plant-magic Jude back from the dead!?

How did Holland learn that he could do that? When, exactly? Eukaryotic instinct??

I want to know what the gas station boy's backstory is. Is he missing his family? He seems to have seen some shit but might be a survivor.

Anyway, he takes her on a boat ride to the ruined research camp cabin. She tells him to be careful and he seems cautious but says he can handle himself (in more of a survivor way then an action hero way).

Oh _wow_, Swamp Thing tearing the roof off that SUV and then... it just kind of floats away like a balloon..? I think we were supposed to think that he threw it, but the effect didn't quite pan out there. 🀣

That rubber Swamp Thing suit just gets better every time we see it. Majestic.

We leave the swamp, and we're into the mansion house. What are the odds he removes another layer of face?

I really like the characterization of this super-science project as "trying to make a plant for the 21st century!" because the 21st century is the future, back when this movie was made.

they believed in the future back then.

We go back to the swamp church, and the Gentleman-Dressed-as-a-Butler who is no longer dressed as a butler accosts and the Gentleman-Dressed-as-Steve-Irwin accost her for going into the swamp with the slutty scientist boy. I guess her job is "government agent" and other people are supposed to protect her and her purity.

Then we hear some explosions that sound like gunshots and everyone panics.

Okay, so the secret lab gets deeper and has a secret swamp genius, and the big hair lady wanders in and meets a couple of scientists who really like her vibe. Maybe they're not a couple, but the boy scientist wants to take the big hair lady for a boat ride, for which she dons her hawaiian shirt. This is after he showed her his moss possum (it makes sense in context).

That was wholesome goofy fun! Better than I expected, all things considered.

Truly, tonight Swamp Thing made all our hearts sing

"Alec, what is it?" [ed: Alec? Alex?]

"It's over."

Yaaaaaaaaay it's over!

Oh no wait there's more dialogue

Just don't tell our story to Wes Craven. God knows what he'd do.

"...What?! I didn't catch that!"

Swampie should be like: "I dunno, I'm not acquainted with any geniuses" and stare straight at Dr Evil.
