Notice how in the earlier scene Palmer is the only one to spot the spider-head Thing and react to it enabling the others to spot it too and Mac to destroy it DESPITE BEING A THING HIMSELF. It's as if the Things are so interested in it's own self-preservation that it's willing to narc out another one of it's own kind.
My assumption is that the Thing has to balance it's pace while infecting. Notice how Norris is acting human despite being alone, but begins to feel pain; as if the Thing wrecked his body by spreading to fast. Also: it may take it's time taking over the brain/mind of the host.
@@86leewis To be clear: i was referring to a slow infection not full assault style assimilation like what happened to Bennings, Windows ,and some of the others. A slow (maybe even dormant to better hide) infection so the host is unaware and still very human; in mind at least. Hence why Palmer narced on the Norris head thing.
I get so jealous that these people got to watch this and other films for the first time when I've seen them already, over the last 30 - 40 years. I would love to be able to watch some of these top films again with no knowledge about what happens.
''I don't see how this movie could possibly have a happy ending...'' Unfortunately, the happy ending is no one gets out of there alive, especially not the creature they're fighting, but life on earth is preserved.
I get so upset when people get annoyed at Windows. He has already shown that he doesn't handle his fear well earlier in the film. He was so scared here that he froze up, that wasn't a conscious choice on his part and it got him killed. It literally makes me feel so sad for him and I get upset when people call him useless or an idiot when he is simply struggling with his fight or flight reaction.
Yeah I mean Windows was terrified, you could see it in his reactions earlier. He should have never been put in that position and the thing being intelligent like it is took advantage of it.
I wonder if the Thing has Psionics or mind control abilities, it would explain an awful lot around this base. Would explain Gary and Nauls just walking away, Windows freezing up, the blood, and more.
"Palmer downloads Windows" LOL! Whew! When I first watched this movie, this scene is the one where I almost tossed my cookies ... the other parts were gross and horrible, but this one actually churned my guts. It's funny how everyone disses Windows, but to be fair, he works the radio and probably wasn't trained to use flame throwers against Things. Technically or psychologically. You've done an AMAZING job with these reactions!! (I love how the Colombian girl starts cussing in Spanish) I can't imagine how much time and work this takes. Keep at it -- we all love it!!
well thank you! it's always tempting to rush it out to get it over with, and knowing at the 12 minute mark i could technically release it but it would be right in the middle of an action scene. I never know how long its going to take to use up the good footage AND end up at a natural chapter stopping point in the action.
That little conversation between Mac and Gary was intended to totally distract the audience from the coming test for Palmer's blood, which makes the jump scare that much more effective.
True story. I saw this in the theater when I was 12-13. Me and 2 friends rode our bikes and somehow snuck in (r rated). During this scene I went to pee, came back and was standing at the back when this happened. Crowd screams, I see a bucket of popcorn fly in the air and hear my friends yell as popcorn rains down on them. Crowd laughs ruins the moment. I decide to sit elsewhere for the rest of the movie.
Everyone takes about the dog seen but to me this is the most disturbing, with the suspense, the jump scary and especially windows getting thrown like a rage doll screaming in pain
I think they have no any idea is to why Windows didn’t torch Palmer-Thing before chewing his head. Windows froze up in fear without moving, he’s petrified as hell! I’m disappointing to these reactors for not realizing and insults him straight away 😂
Fantastic editing, bravo, bravo, 👏👏👏, they are all so hilarious, love to see people for the first time delve into this masterpiece also, and when they're creeper out about the slice and dice to get the blood, why do they have to cut so deep,...too funny,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
This film is a horror/Sci fi legend!! Masterpiece. For a movie to produce so much suspense, fear, doubt, disbelief.... That's great art. Those practical effects are far superior in being terrifying than any computer graphic. This stuff is tangible man, you can touch it.... "The Thing" is truly despicably scary good. No, scary... Great!
i didn't think to do that when it was being put together, but now you made me realize i could release a separate video with that specific jump-scare. one thing i am pretty sure of is the sound of people reacting to the norris scene is going to sound a lot different than the palmer blood test scene.
In hindsight, you’d think the Norwegian guy at the beginning would have known that shooting the Thing from a helicopter wasn’t going to work. Was he just trying to agitate it into coming back to him so he could use the grenade on it?
Practical puppets have so much over Cgi, the 2011 prequel was mostly lackluster because I'm looking at a mediocre render of the thing. Not bad but not great, when there's something you could interact with it's so much more gripping. I would love to see another film like the thing maybe not a reboot but something
@mr.graves5003 I must have been sleepy when I read your comment the first time. Yes, you're right. And that contrast is hilarious now that you mention it.

Windows: *gets his head bitten, violently rag dolled for a minute, thrown across the room, and covered in blood*
A couple of reactors: “is he okay?”
My first reaction was like: you already know the thing theory and know that if you touch it or it touches you your a thing why would he be ok
Uh yeah ya think
Everyone's response to this was beautiful.

Natalie Dunn I completely understand but in situations like this it's either you kill it or it kills you or in this case it becomes you
Windows was one of my favorite characters, but yeah, he can't handle his reaction to a fight or flight situation.
Its als0 funny since Wind0ws fr0ze, which always happen. Mac th0ugh, he c0ntinues w0rking.

7:14 The video edits and makes it look like he tests Palmers blood and it’s fine hahaha

When I was a kid Saturday mornings sunrise theater the thing came on scared me to death but totally had my complete attention.
I love that sneaky edit you do around the palmer blood th throw off your! Audience from knowing when it was coming. Very good
I doubt I'll get any sleep tonight since I'll be watching this over and over for several hours straight.
IKR?? I am going to watch the whole series :D
This never really resolved the big question: which was larger, the alien spaceship, or McCready's hat?
Who got to the blood?
McCreadys. I like his hat.
@@quortnybillups5281 Either Palmer 0r N0rris.
I love this. I love everything about this. Every installment has been brilliant.
Everybody complaining about the flamethrower was getting in my nerves. When they could clearly see that it wasn’t working. 🤣🤦🏾♂️
and then...it began working again, mysteriously.
Well if you notice Mac dropped it that's why it wouldn't work
@@user-bn2vj1ly8y no estás pendiente de lo que sucede verdad?
"We're gonna give Blair the test."
"...."

"Oh yeah, with the flamethrower."
6:57 that cutoff is very funny
Watching these newbies is hilarious. I must've seen this cult classic 1000+ times.
How many times can you watch a bearded dude die?
Me: Yes.
Fantastic editing, bravo, bravo, 👏👏👏, they are all so hilarious, love to see people for the first time delve into this masterpiece also, and when they're creeper out about the slice and dice to get the blood, why do they have to cut so deep,...too funny,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
Great Job, MAD compilation editing skills my man. Liking the out-tro. Can't wait for more.
Oh man! I been waiting on this one!
Yeah, me too!😃
I like 7:29 - 8:24
Windows simply failed the Terror check. Not surprising considering he failed the Mounting Dread check before. Must not be very high in Willpower.
He's t00 high.
You know this movie is amazing when they have Windows freezing and was released before the first Windows computer was even released.
and the Mac didn't freeze. ha.
L0l Wind0ws and Mac in same m0vie. Truly pr0phetic.
Yes, The Blood Test!!!
Yes! Been waiting for this...
Dude, thank you so much. I can't imagine the hours you put into this, hundreds for sure. Fantastic job. 👍🏼
Are there any other movies that extract such reactions?I doubt it 😅
The fake thumb is killing it!
That made me laugh much more than I expected. It’s fun watching these people contrasted.
The most comedic part of this movie is the Norwegian accidentally throwing the grenade behind him
This film is a horror/Sci fi legend!! Masterpiece.

windows got wrecked lmao.
7:20 That was clever.
7:29 I was expecting to do what you did with Norris biting Copper's arms off where you mashed them all up for the jumpscare.
i didn't think to do that when it was being put together, but now you made me realize i could release a separate video with that specific jump-scare. one thing i am pretty sure of is the sound of people reacting to the norris scene is going to sound a lot different than the palmer blood test scene.
I was expecting the same thing!
i try to be as unpredictable as the footage allows.
He's going deep because it's a horror movie and the point is to stress you out !😊
I've been literally waiting for this thanks 🙇🏽♀️
In hindsight, you’d think the Norwegian guy at the beginning would have known that shooting the Thing from a helicopter wasn’t going to work. Was he just trying to agitate it into coming back to him so he could use the grenade on it?
Shooting it would stop it letting him nade it
Out of context, the noise the blood makes is funny. It sounds like a rubber ducky.

I love how everyone is freaking out when Windows cuts his own thumb for a blood sample but the camera doesn't show the actual cut.
Mac and Clark got pitted against each other. The Thing is playing the game.
The scene where they draw blood is definitely the most gross.
Why are the thumb cuts harder to watch than the scenes with people getting horrifically mauled to death by an alien?
Not sure what u mean by a thumb cut
Yeah th0se thumb slicings are t00 deep. But I guess thats because they need bl00d t0 fill the petri-dishes n0t just a dr0p 0r tw0.
@mr.graves5003 I must have been sleepy when I read your comment the first time. Yes, you're right. And that contrast is hilarious now that you mention it.
Yes my dudes, YAS
The Thing can be inside you and you wouldn't know it. To keep them from running 🏃♀️ away from the group.
How do you like them on screen effects apples, younger generation?? Put that in your pipe and smoke it! The Thing is. The. Best!
Monster.....
How bright do you have to be to not attack someone with a cocked revolver in his hand?!
perhaps it was a suicide
Will there be a part 9 someday?
it looks like part 9 will be the visit to the Norwegian base that part 1 didn't cover and
part 10 being everything after Palmer
07:40 😮😂😂
Holy.Shoot. WTF?
not only did they use the same knife but Blair put the swab at his mouth during the autopsy. I like to think that John C. did this on purpose.
Blair was n0t infected by the aut0psy I think. Either Palmer 0r N0rris visited him and that is h0w he became a m0nster.
@@mannylugz5872 Blair was infected when he was locked away in the shack. That much I'm positive of.. I'm just saying that Carpenter raised some doubt with the scenes that I mentioned. Best 'who done it' in any case!
♩..Thenggg Dhenngg... Thenngg Dhennggg.... Thennggg Dhennggg . . . Thenngg Dhennnggg ..♩
I never noticed this before but if blood cells react to heat then why not skin cells to the knife?
well, everyone but Palmer passed that test, right? so IF Palmer did his own cut, maybe it didn't react because he was cutting himself?
I think they have no any idea is to why Windows didn’t torch Palmer-Thing before chewing his head. Windows froze up in fear even hesitated without moving, he’s petrified as hell! I’m disappointing to these reactors for not realizing and insults him straight away 😂
