This has one of my two favourite scenes of all time in it, great movie.
What are the 2 scenes?
It's been awhile, but I'm going to suggest 2 of -
Dog Bloom
Spider Head
Thing of many Things.
:D
None of the above ;)
Probably the breakfast scene where one of them puts almond “milk” on their cereal. And the other one is no doubt where one of them is in the bathroom after having a shower and they splash some Old Spice on themselves.
Don't want to spoil the movie, but the other scene is in Miracle Mile.
Excellent film that holds up very well despite being 42yrs old!
Especially on 4K! Could have been shot yesterday.
disappointed its not the 2011 remake
negged
/s
One of the worst remakes ever!
Scared the bejeebus out of me when i was a kid but its such a good film.
Any different to the version that was released in Australia?

cheaper
I already own it. The link was for my question only.
@BargainEnjoyer2022 - At the moment yes this deal is cheaper than the Australian 4K version, however the Australian 4K release has been available for much cheaper than this posted deal for the UK 4K version… When The Thing (1982) was released in Australia on 4K BD at the end of October 2021, it was straight away added to a JB HiFi 2 for $40 promo with an additional 20% off, and about a month later it was still in the same 2 for $40 promo while JB were running an additional 30%-35% off promo.
@dreamstation - The UK and AU discs are identical.
One of the greatest films ever made. The practical effects are still some of the best ever to this day.
Never understood the love people have for this movie. Miles behind sci fi/horror titans like Terminator and Alien/Aliens in my book. The whole "aNyOnE CoulD bE tHE mONStEr" schtick is like a second tier X-Files episode plotline. And it has the same "everyone is a bit of an emotionless, grumpy jerk" vibe that Alien has but without the relief that Sigourney Weaver provides from that.
@caitsith01 - The X-Files episode “Ice” released in 1993 starring Felicity Huffman and Xander Berkeley who played Todd in Terminator 2, has a similar story to The Thing (1982).
Ha, there you go!
The US 4K version is also on sale at Amazon and is cheaper ($23.37):

This is a pretty special movie. Blew my 10yo mind, never recovered.
