Lars survived long enough to hunt down the thing that killed everyone at his base only to be killed by the people he's currently trying to save.
Lammeune Romalia I agree. His friends been kill, and good thing he know that's not the Dog and try to kill
Well, he was out most the movie lmao
To be fair, without this edit and watching the opening of the 1982 Thing, you see exactly the point of view of the crew at Outpost 31. They had no idea what was happening and Lars was shooting a gun. What other option did they have or what else were they suppose to think?
@jamiebellwolf he just doesn't speak English, in the 2011 movie he always needs the others guys to translate for him. Why don't the Americans speak some Norweigan?
@jamiebellwolf it would be ideal to learn at least basic English/Chinese/etc, but some people find it really hard to accomplish even that. I guess that having the other guys translate for him was enough because he didn't expect to run into any trouble at the time. That and the 82 version needed the Americans to be unawares of the copydog from hell.
For all we know, Lars could have riddled the creature with bullets and it just kept running.
That’s a really good point.... great point actually!
we never saw any signs of wound on it though
If you could just get the leg muscles mangled enough, it would probably take the thing at least a few seconds to regenerate them... Hopefully time enough to get close with the grenades.
Good point!
He missed a fuck ton tho
I feel sorry for the pilot. He never knew what the hell was going on in all the confusion.
and from what i see, it was lars that drops the grenade, then he runs off while the pilot scrambles and gets blown up lmao
yet he was determined to kill that dog because his good ol fella Lars told him that this is no dog :)
The pilot was about to murder all those guys just to get the dog. Wtf did Lars say to him?
Seriously man... he just landed in an unfamiliar situation with a horrific creature's corpse outside the ransacked Norwegian base, Lars (I assume a close friend) emerges screaming and pointing a gun at him, doesn't explain anything, then desperately screams at you to start the helicopter and chase a dog while he shoots wildly... Then when you land, he grabs a grenade and drops it in a total panic, and you die trying to save the helicopter... Seriously, that pilot's last thought was probably something along the lines of "what the fucking hell is going on?"
Exploring Jenkins What did Lars say to the Americans you mean? (The guy holding the machine gun, the pilot is the one who blew up with the grenade.) But anywhere, there is actually a really accurate Norwegian translation of what Lars was screaming at 5:24 in the video. He said ""Se til helvete og kom dere vekk. Det er ikke en bikkje, det er en slags ting! Det imiterer en bikkje, det er ikke virkelig! Kom dere vekk, idioter!" This is translated to: "Get the hell outta there. That's not a dog, it's some sort of thing! It's imitating a dog, it isn't real! Get away, you idiots!"
It's so refreshing to see the other dude complying without stalling and asking "why" in a horror movie
@Conal Wheeldon [Student] well put buddy
Well he does have a gun in his face.
I always thought stupid people in horror movies was just to allow the silly plots to exist, but then the pandemic hit and... well... here we are.
Back then, character reactions made sense and felt natural (for the most part)
@Conal Wheeldon [Student] Really? You wouldn’t first think your buddy was maybe...off his rocker?
I love how the prequel flows perfectly into the 1982 movie. It's brilliant
JigsawJay007 it's a shame the movie got such shit for it's 1 poor choice at the end (the shitty ending to the 2011 movie, where they use CGI instead of practical effects like every other scene)
they did it practical, but the idiot studio forced the change to CG on them.
Did the Dog-Thing cross the mountain range between the two outposts?
Heed the Seen must have been a pass
cirian75 absolutely, studios directives screw up films 9 times out of 10. I’d say just let the directors do their thing, but then someone like Rian Johnson comes along to remind me the money men need to protect their investment, too.
"HEY SWEDEN!"
"They're not Swedish, Mac! They're Norwegians!" Classic lmao
no, there "Norse"

One of my favourite films. I wintered in Antarctica for 2.5 years, back in early 00s. In reality, you're in fairly regular radio contact with neighbouring bases ... in our case, German and Russian bases. We used to watch this (and Scott of the Antarctic) on Mid-Winters' day ;-) Shame that Sled Dogs were eventually 'banned' from Antarctica in the early 90s, due to potential contamination to seal populace etc
@Chris J It's actually Nordmenn as they are from Norge /ˈnoɾɡə/ (pronounced: nor-re-gə)
The actor who played Lars, Jørgen Langhelle, recently passed away at 55. Def one of the best parts of the prequel, and a beloved Norwegian actor. RiP man ❤️
55?!? That’s horrible.
@Soviet ツ Cardiac arrest :(
Rip
@@brandonphan5143 rip
Iam so sorry to read that, I absolutely love him in those movies.
When Lars sees the dog run off and the translation says "That is no dog!", that's incorrect. He don't say that at all in that moment. I'm Norwegian, and he says what is basicly translated to: "It's not frekin' possible..." when seeing it run off, knowing the Thing is still alive in it.
Yeah but I noticed that "idiot" pretty much sounds the same in many languages. 😆😆😆
“Goddamnit, you idiots!”
I realized what he said even without the translation. Guess it’s a universal phrase. 🤣
Was gonna say, as someone who’s only been learning norsk for 2 months, coulda sworn that was not what Lars said lol
Dog thing"see you later assholes....I'm off to get deep inside you race....real deep inside.........and it gonna be warm and snug......mmmmhh"
And is that right I did not know that.....also if your wondering it a joke above wacth the mighty boosh season 1 episode 6 electro if you want to get the joke
Poor Lars If only the Americans knew what he went through...
Yeah, he survived all that sh*t only for some stupid cowboys to gun him down as he was trying to SAVE them. Tough luck.
Well to be fair he could've tried solving this calmly I mean what would you do if some crazy guy started shooting everywhere trying to kill the neighbours' cat in your lawn?
KingCamembert Calmly? With the language barrier and what he has been through, the horror and insanity, there was no other way Lars could've done it calmly. It was either do or die... Unfortunately, with that one fatal gun shot from Garry, it was all damn to Hell.
odiemodie1 To be fair yeah.
KingCamembert I apologize for being forward, I do agree a more civil approach would've sufficed, but at that point of the situation, all civil solutions went out the window. The only morbid good thing out of this is, Garry helped Lars by putting him out of his misery, thus ending his insane paranoia suffering, sparing him of more of the horror of what is to come.
Too bad the sheriff guy shot the Norwegian. Imagine how much trouble they'd have saved themselves...but then we'd have no movie.
Maybe in a parallel universe Lars and MacReady would team up and kick some alien ass! Though that's just s dream...
There is a story like that on fanfiction.net
Lars was from the country of What.
"What language do they speak in What?"
Milkman4279 "WHAT ain't no country I ever heard of! Do they speak English in What?!"
5:24 Lars - Get the hell away! That's not a dog, it's some sort of thing! It's imitating a dog, it isn't real! GET AWAY YOU IDIOTS!!
Is it really norwegian? Always thought it was some norwegian mixed with bullshit :p
Lau Ofcoarse its norwegen you dumbass! you should use rosetta stone!
omg THANK YOU
Lars really didn't mean to shoot that guy in the leg but I never seen the 1982 and the 2011 film does Matias speak English?
@@immunecookie0179 Matias ? The pilot ? He get off the norwegian base for like 5 days and when he comes back everything is fucked up, he didn't have any idea wtf was going on
I like how in the 2011 scene the camera is stationed in a way to make it feel like you are watching an 80s film
I do wonder why that style of camera work is rare to see nowadays, as opposed to flashy movements and cuts?
@sudokuacrobatics practical effects and choreography were thrown away for cgi that costs way cheaper to use. Most older style movies actually have a huge budget compared to blockbusters today that only use cgi like marvel. With cgi there's unrealistic camera movement and points of views that don't work in reality.
Nah budgets are way higher now whether it’s a good ar bad thing
I think that the directors of the '11 movie did this about as well as they could. Even brought in Ennio Morricones musical score from the '82 release to close out the last scenes. For fans of the Carpenter movie, that must have been a very cool touch.
The way the 2011 scene is filtered to the original makes it spot on in its transition
I saw the 2011 release in theaters. I felt like it did a good job of making everything fit, even if somethings felt a little forced (for example, leaving the ax in the wall). The movie ended and everyone got up and started walking out, then we heard the first few notes of the Morricone score and everyone froze. We were then treated to coda scene which finally connected the 2 films seamlessly.
Actually nice cut with the ice drop after the last gun shot.
Right?
...thats the whole point
Go back to where it all began (2011).
Man is the warmest place to hide (1982).
The 82 tagline is so much better. 2011’s is beyond generic
2011's Home Video release tagline:
"It's not human. Yet."
Pardon my interjection, but mind if I give out a slightly better tagline?
"It hides among us."

Poor Matias (first dead Norwegian). He never even knew what was going on and died before he could know
he was spared of the fear of being assimilated.
Honestly he probably had it the best out of anyone in the 2 movies he never saw the thing and died by a grenade instead of being assimilated.
I'd guess Lars could explain it to him in like two or three sentences.
Maybe during the trip Lars told him everything
@@ondrejurban2634 How do you explain something like the thing creature in two or three sentences? It is easy for us moviegoers to understand, as we have seen the movie (maybe countless times) but on a chopper ride, chasing a dog? ;)

I think thats what makes it so interesting and haunting that way.
Theres a apocalyptic scenario happening and as far as most people are aware, its just another day completely unaware of it.
All that carnage to come; hidden by a language barrier.🥶
I don't think they would have believed him anyways even if he spoke English.
Eh, it didn't help in the 2011 film either. All but Lars (the shooter) spoke enough English to communicate with the non-Norweigians, and things still got fucked.
@@jonseon5952 Well 1. The dog is the owned by his outpost and he can do with it whatever he wants.
2. Once they saw paranormal/extraterrestrial evidence at the Norweigian outpost that would be inexplainable by a crazy Norweigian individual mass murdering his fellow outpost members with a rifle, they would have very much so believed him.
Suffice it to say there are indeed many ways in which 'The Thing' would have been stopped or at the very least majorly hindered if there were no language barrier here. The US outpost would have lost a lot less people.
I’m a brazillian in japan and I gotta say a lot of times japanese people often don’t trust me enough to believe me because I’m brazillian or I just can’t fucking tell them because I don’t speak Japanese enough
@@adamanderson3042 1) They didn’t shoot Lars because he was shooting at the dog. He was shot for shooting Bennings and continuing to shoot with other innocents around. 2) They flew out to the Norwegian camp much later than the incident in question and saw absolutely nothing upon initial investigation that would alter their perception that Lars was a psycho. In fact, the evidence, as they could read it, initially solidified the thinking they were “Crazy Swedes”.
What a shame, that looked like such a nice dog. But man that guy is a BAD shot, granted I would be shaking to if I knew that fate of humanity might lie in the balance.
That, and surviving the events of The Thing 2011.
It wouldn't matter if he did hit it as a matter of fact he probably got several good shots in the dog but it would literally do nothing. The thing made the right decision by running even though it could have annihilated both of them just as fast

6:19 I've always loved the look on Garry's face right there. It's the type of face that says, "Dear God, what have I done?" The most realistic reaction someone would give after shooting a man dead.
"I. . . Just did that. . ."
I mean, the guy was in their base firing with no explanation and hit one of their team members. No reason to feel bad about shooting him
'Hell of a thing killing a man. You take away everything hes got and everything hes ever gonna have... '
@@thesynergy2 then walking past every person following the dog. There was an explanation, it was in Norwegian. You are a bigger moron then Gary who is the direct cause for the entire team except two including himself by not realizing Lars was after the dog even after watching Lars walk past the group and following the dog.
@@ftniceberg874 Gary is kind of a douche yeah
I think its very unfair how the Prequel is so much trashed by the fans of the original movie, the producers did an outstanding job recreating precisely every detail of the norwegian camp, they even put on special attention on the axe scene, the guy who commits suicide, the burnt remains of the two-faced thing, everything is so well done! And this final scene perfectly merging with the original movie from 1982! Amazing! I know people bitch about the overuse of CGI and i agree with that but it is overall an exceptional movie!
I’m a fan of the original movie and I will say to credit where credit is due, at least it tried to expand on the lore of The Thing. Considering what might have happened in the Norwegian base from the 1982 movie, this movie for the most part made sense to why that place ended up the way it did. There’s so much potential in expanding the movie universe of The Thing. One thing I like to speculate on is how would Kate (Elizabeth Winstead’s character) interact with R.J. MacReady (Kurt Russell’s character).
The prequel was good, but the CGI ruined what made The original Thing great in the first place, the practical effects.
@@hellofaname i disagree with that. i think it was the *special* effects that made the thing great. the CG in the prequel could have worked, but it just wasn't good enough.
i think it would have been almost poetic for a movie known for its incredible practical effects to be followed by a movie known for its incredible CG effects. maybe if that was their plan from the start, they could have pulled it off. instead, thanks to executive meddling, we got the worst outcome possible: rushed CGI.
@@sabotabo7476 thats what I said dude.
The movie itself wasn't bad but yeah the use of CGI instead of practical effects was a bad choice.
That visceral panic and dread from Lars makes this such the perfect ending sequence to the film. It feels profound from his perspective.
It all makes sense now.
And it only took 29 years for an answer.
NICTATOR the answer was given to you in 82
Wtf are you talking about? Did you not figure it out after seeing the original?
*🎶because it all make sense now🎶*
i don't know what it is but the ending of the prequel with that music makes it seem so creepy as you know they're flying off to their deaths, and that this man has just landed into the aftermath of a slaughter
My favorite line in that scene is "That's no dog".
Makes it feel so freaky and intense knowing they aren't going to catch it
If you're talking about 1:29, he's actually saying something like "That's not fucking possible". As in showing disbelief that the thing is still alive.
awesome dude I actually just searched on youtube to see if anybody did this. realizing that the 2011 movie was actually a prequel during its last clips was such a pleasant surprise
Really part (1982) at the end of the story, and I love actually part 1982
beatthecrowd001 It took you until the ending clips to realize lol? The entire movie painstakingly shows how everything at the base ended up where it did in the original the fire axe, the split face thing the ice tub, the guy who cuts his wrist.
beatthecrowd001 the 1950’s the thing is a prequel to the prequel the thing then transitions into the things intro..
The merging of these two is brilliant masterpiece.
When I saw the prequel the ending gave me such the chills when I heard the theme from the original 1982 version
Poor lars... trying to save some lives...
It kinda sucks to know that the husky from the 1980 thing is dead :(
xxthehuskycaboosexx At least he lived a healthy 18 years. He also starred in White Fang, where he simply shined. A gorgeous and talented dog he was.
Nobody lives forever, we've since lost Hallahan and Dysart , aka Norris and Dr. Copper too :(
Obviously, canines can't live up to 20 years unfortunately
Btw that's not a husky that's an alaskan malamute
Well 18 years is good, they mostly live up to 15 well some live up to 30 years if there lucky. But they age by 7 years add that up by 18years dog was old already
The Bell 206 Jetranger is so iconic in this movie, great upload 👍
Yes, but it's almost like they forgot it was a helicopter lol. You're in a helicopter, chasing a DOG. Why are they swooping around at 60mph? It's running through deep snow with great effort, JUST HOVER ABOVE IT. Then, maybe even a completely incompetent marksman like Lars could hit it. Hell, they gun down feral hogs from helicopters in Texas flying way faster than this, from higher up.
Of course, then there would be no movie lol.
@@RobertMorgan The south pole rises to 10,000 feet. Helicopters don't hover well even when in ground effect at high altitude. Of course this doesn't look like the south pole anyways.
Explain your comment, please am confused.
@@jorgetoloza269 For people who do not have 100 IQ, he's talking about the helicopter in this scene.
The bell 206 jet ranger is iconic for me in this movie they used the original sound of the jet ranger, I don't know about anybody else but it's one of my biggest peeves when they alter the sound of the engine of a helicopter in a movie pisses me off I don't know why, it just does, I also like the way it looks with pontoons.
Before the prequel came out I had always assumed that the dudes in the helicopter had just caught up to the thing as it was approaching the American base and not following it for the entire 80 km run. A helicopter is faster than a husky even if it's an alien in disguise.
Shooting a moving target as small as a dog from a moving helicopter thats about 300 feet up in the air. Yeah not gonna happen.
80 km? I always thought it was much further because Blair said "No dog could make it a thousand miles in the snow." Or was a referencing something else?
It wouldn’t have made a difference anyway. Shooting the thing doesn’t really effect it other than temporarily stunning it.
which is why Lars grabbed grenades to finish it off
If only the crappy CGI in The Thing (2011) didn't ruin the movie, it would be remembered better. I appreciate what the director was trying to do.
They actually made practical effect for the movie, but it was all either replaced or covered with CGI.
I've seen a lot of the props and original shots, so much better than what they replaced it with.
@@nihluxler8823 I know and that makes it twice as painful.
I've read that team's efforts to employ practical effects were vetoed because the studio felt it would seem too old school, much like in the 80s. Judging by what little holdover is available online - I guess it would make the movie much better, hot damn.

This is how you make a prequel. Take some tips, Ridley.
Agree!
Alien Covenant should have ended this way!
Otavio Santana Alien conventant should of ended with Ripley and the marines landed on the colony.
RckerMom87 exactly
The prequel to the THING was HORRIBLE
Although the 2011 version of The Thing is light years inferior to The 80'S version, it's a pretty decent prequel, giving a back story to the Norwegians who first encountered the thing. One gripe I have with the 2011 version is why do the Norwegians need to have an American scientist? They should've made the entire cast Norwegians, not that I have anything against Mary Elizabeth Winstead. At least they tried to tie both movies which is more than what Ridley Scott made with the GODAWFUL Prometheus.
Ariel Contreras Obviously they needed an American so the rest of the cast had an excuse to speak English as well.
0r made all of them Norwegians and let them still speak english.
Ever see a movie about the roman empire? Do they always speak latin in them?
The 2003 video game rocked and was very story driven, probably 40 minutes of cut scenes and in-game video.
Because it’s an American movie and Americans want one of their own to relate too and not have to read their way through a movie with non-english subtitles
Don't know why so much hate for the 2011 prequel. The alien changed in front of the humans to openly assimilate its victims because it had no prior experience with them. In the course of the prequel movie and nearly being destroyed, it learnt the intelligence of the humans and so in the 1982 sequel, it turned to stealth and secrecy to assimilate its victims. Watch the 2011 prequel and later the 1982 sequel, everything falls into place. Love both movies.
Lars just out here trying to save all earthly life.
I’m a big fan of Carpenter’s version.
I remember seeing this last scene and was jumping up and down with a friend. It was a perfect dovetail to the 1982 movie.
God this was amazing.
amen
When i saw the prequel first, i didn't know anything about the 1982 thing. When i saw that dog running away, i was happy that it survived but when Lars said "That's no dog" my heart broke when it's actually the thing.

If there is anything I can give the prequel credit for, is the attention to detail on keeping consistancy between the films. While it was played out like some generic sci fi monster slasher, it still set itself up for the original John Carpenter Film.
I just felt like the very obvious differences between the dog at the end of the prequel and beginning of the '82 film was too drastic. One is more grayish and the one in the beginning of the 82 film was darker and much larger looking.
@@TallChief42 it was reported in some fanzines it was because the Thing was still assimilating the dog as it ran away so it hadn’t completed that process

FUN FACT: The guy played Lars in 1982 original was actually the film's producer Larry J Franco.
Since he had no time to take Norwegian lessons, what he spoke in the entire scene was plain gibberish.
Norwegian here. It makes sense, but some of the grammar is a bit off.

@@makaron9363 - They may have said that he was the producer, but did they say that it was gibberish? I can confirm that it was quite understandable to a Norwegian. It was a bit broken, but if he just learned it for that scene, it was very good.
Thanks for all the comments and views on this little video boys and girls.
My personal favourite one I've worked on so far on my channel.
Stu677 fucking seamless bro ... excellent...
This edit seems seamless with the mountain range and thermite blast from the 1982 intro cut out.
The way Lars dies when shot is chillingly realistic. People don't always just go completely limp when shot in the head. Neurons are still firing for a good while as the brain is bleeding out and the damage easily can cause spasms and twitches in the limbs before they go still for good.
Love the transition from Lars shooting to MacReady and the echo over was awesome!
Whoever edited this did a phenomenal job. I almost wish there was a version where both were edited together. However, Carpenter’s version is more superior.
The ending looks like carpenter’s style I like it
that was just,,, i know they made it so that the prequel would flow seamlessly into the original film, but the way you pieced this together makes it feel completely cohesive. masterful work.
Fucking well done man... This was absolutely perfect! Especially with the echo you added to the last gunshot at 2:34 which makes the intro of the 1982 version blend in flawlessly. You have a great sense of how to effectively edit two completely different films together to seem almost totally comprehensive. You could literally just have the 1982 version of The Thing continue after the 2011 intro, and nobody who wasn't already familiar with John Carpenter's version would just assume it was a long fucking movie, where the special effects suddenly improved 10 fold at the 2 hour mark! Lmfao
When lars in the translation says: That's no dog. He is actually saying: Det er faen ikke muligt; No fucking way
Actually it's "It's not fucking possible".
@@billyjudd3326 Directly yes, but that has different connotations.
"START DE HELICOOPTAR NOOOWW!!"
The last scene (and the ax scene) made the 2011 movie for me.
It´s not only the obvious fact that is a perfect continuation between the ending and the beggining of the two movies, they also adjusted the filming methodology. The shots become much more still and open than the rest of the movie, which is more in accord with 70s and 80s filming. What a great detail. You just can´t put into words how the prequel deserved so much more recognition.
There's only 3 possible scenarios for the" "Helicopter Landing" part:
1 - Lars is the one that drops the grenade and gets killed, while Matias, being briefed by Lars in the pursuit, knows what the "dog" is and gets shot down;
2 - Matias is the one to drop the grenade, and Lars is the one who gets shot;
3 - Lars drops the grenade, Matias drops the rifle and tries to suppres the grenade, while Lars get the rifle, say to Matias to "get away", Matias dies, and Lars is shot.
Kurt Russell should have been a spokesperson for J&B and done a commercial as MacReady
First goddamn week of winter...
I love how this prequel and Rogue One ends the movie to go right into the next one perfectly

@@Cam-im8io Well, Lars didn’t survive the shitshow. I know it was 29 years in your timeline but the timeline was only a quick helicopter ride apart in the movies.
Shooting a moving target is not as easy as you might think, much less when you yourself are in a vehicle that it itself is moving while you try to shoot said moving target.
THIS WHOLE CUT should have been the post credit scene. nice job man
oh f i wanted Lars to live
ThatCheeseGuy Garry had other plans
I felt the same way but it’s canon that he dies.
Gary said nope. It's us to shine now. Gtfo.
He was so badass in the 2011 movie
@@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009 yeh Garry culd have shot em in the legg or arm but his itchy trigger finger got him killed. Im Just thinking an what if scenario if he aculy did help them understand about it
Excellent job! Fan-edits never cease to amaze me. 👍🏻
Fabulous, brilliant..awesome..seen this movie 300 million times and it does not get bored....thank u...
I love that it blended all together! Great job!
I wish I could've given this more thumbs up, great mixing man 👍👍👍
Just finished watching the 2011 version and IMMEDIATELY went to youtube looking for this 😂 thank you!
Awesome. Just found this clip. Being a fan of The Thing I'm great full for this. Thank you.
That prequel had so much respect to its source material and would have been such a cool movie if not only the executives that pulled the plug out of the practical effects and spaceship's pilot scene. Such a waste and I feel bad for the director who went for directing commercials afterwards
It's a real shame the studios fucked it up. The director was a big fan of the 82 Thing and did his best to do it justice in spite of the studio's interference.

Thing (Dog): HELP ME!!!!!!! *BARK* I’M JUST A CUTE HUSKY DOG!!!!!!!!! *BARK* AND NOT AN ALIEN IMITATING CREATURE FROM OUTER SPACE!!!!!! *BARK*

*_Why a dog?_*
@@Bananappleboy cuz nobody would suspect a dog
"i am a dog, look i even like to walk in 4 legs and convert O2 into CO2 to keep my totally regular dog body going meow meow i mean bark bark"
Now THIS is a post credit sequence that should have been used in the movie when it was barely coming out in theaters
I loved Lars so much. Watched both movies with my friends and we were rooting so hard for Lars the entire 2011 movie. We were devastated when he died..
Wait a minute you watched the 2011 version before the OG film
I love the sound of Gary's gun when he shoots the Norwegian 💕💕💕A classic handgun sound of 70s and 80s films
Mac keeping hold of his booze like a champ.
Smooth transition between the two movies. Excellent job
5:16 I know I shouldn’t be laughing but the guy really knew how to fly.
This is so freaking brilliant! I love that gun shot echoing between the two movies!
Also the gun he was using was a saiga 12k I believe
The John Carpenter 1982 version haunted my nightmares from 10 years of age to 18 years of age. I believe I should not have watched it. But when a ten year old is told by their parents that he can not watch a certain movie, a ten year old finds a certain way. Even today, when there is a very heavy snowstorm where I live and only my vehicle can make it through, I hear that opening music in my head.
Wow thats intense mine was Halloween saw it on UK tv 82 really horrid, i was 14.
@@VIP-rp3oq It so effected me that today I have a wolf/husky hybrid very similar to the one in the beginning.
I'd love to watch both films edited together with this cut into one long feature film.
Nice editing by the way 👍
The pace of the chase is kept up well, flowing seamlessly into one.
John Carpenter's directing works beautifuly, knowing (as a viewer) that the Dog IS a Thing creates a set up that introduces the Characters with an ominous unknown of what is to come for them.....stunning!
Great video 👍
Liked & Subscribed.
Brilliant editing. Helps to bridge the two movies.
2:00 heli engines is on, but the propeller didn't spin 😅
This is creepy, I watched the thing last night and didn't search a single video about it on RUclips, and I got this in my recommendations
Google knows.
yeah nothing creepy about it apart from Google harvesting all your user data, preferences, history, conversations, calls and texts without your express knowledge in order to recommend more stuff to you to watch
in fact they're reading this rn and chuckling
fuck you google
Man what a perfect transition.. I love it!
That editing you did there, that's PERFECTION.
Wow...WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!! That idiot let the grenade slip right out of his hand!! That just leaves a bad taste at the prequel’s ending, knowing what is going to happen next.
The poor Norwegian pilot is that confused he grows a beard by the time they reach the American outpost!
Yeah I mean how could they fuck that up?
@@shamiir18 they also fucked up who was sitting on which side.
Just finished watching the thing 2011 and wondered if someone did this! Thanks! Really neat
Seamless, nicely done!
This is perfect editing. Really is cool man, well done. Just wish the film would have had those two Norwegians to be the protagonist for the prequel. Just look closely, they both don't fit because Lars was driving all along, and the other dude was shooting at the dog. Awesome work dude.
I just wish they hadn’t gone all CGI in the sequel. That’s what hurt the prequel. The creature looked cartoonish half the time not using practical effects.
Blame the Studio, look it up.
The practical effects looked AMAZING! It was a slap in the face to the artists not to use them on account they looked "unmodern". Such a waste of talent and effort.
The SEQUEL is the 1982 film. The prequel was in 2011... they didn't "go all CGI" in the sequel because they didn't have that in 1982.
@@SStupendous yes, the sequel is a prequel, well aware of that, still doesn’t change fact they wasted actually good practical effects because the studio forced the director to CGI it ip
@@neildennis7294 I agree. If they didn't go over everything in CGI - like they SAID they wouldn't - it would have been much better
Haven't seen either movie yet, so the fact that I can't tell where one begins and the other ends is a testiment to the quality of the editing.
Great cut. Also, this dude was a Stormtrooper in another life with that aim.
I agree with others, for a while it slipped away that I was watching two separate films, seamless and great stuff.
It's kinda funny that Lars in the original has a reddish beard and Lars in the prequel is more stocky and has a dark brown beard.
Hilarious.
Red is the general colour of anger
So I don’t see any other correlation
Bruh this edit is so damn seamless! My goodness
In the 1982 The Thing beginning, helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady is seen playing a Chess computer called, "Chess Wizard." The same Chess Wizard computer may be seen in the motion picture Harbinger Down in the cargo hold of the ship, "Harbinger." The motion picture, "Harbinger Down," has a lot of inspiration from John Carpenter's evil creation. Perhaps the Chess Wizard computer in the cargo hold of the Harbinger was a little indication suggesting that, "Yes, The Thing was an inspiration for this movie. We even used original style practical effects."
