After firing a few shots at an American research team that occupies the compound in which most of the film is set, they are killed and the dog survives. After a day of leaving the dog to roam free, the trainer of the other canines within the American compound is ordered to said dog back in the kennels, where they soon discover that the Norwegians had a good reason for going so far to try and kill it...\u003cbr\u003eAfter the unfortunate team have discovered the truth about what they have let into their camp, helicopter pilot MacReady (Kurt Russell) assumes control of the group after the leader, Garry (Donald Moffat), steps down. In a typical Kurt Russell role, he leads them on a mission to destroy the wonderfully-animated alien invader. Clark (Richard Masur) is the dog trainer who is obviously less than happy about what organism the invading creature chooses as its first victim. Childs (Keith David) is the completely sceptical and seemingly paranoid man who questions MacReady's every choice and decision. Blair (A. Wilfred Brimley) soon goes berserk after his computer informs him that if the alien manages to leave the Arctic Circle, the entire planet will be assimilated by it within 27,000 hours of first contact. Fuchs (Joel Polis) is the man who finds planted evidence that the Thing has somehow gotten to MacReady. Nauls (T.K. Carter) is the cook who soon becomes redundant after Fuchs tells MacReady that it would be wiser for everyone to prepare their own meals and eat out of cans if a single cell of the Thing is enough to assimilate a whole human. Bennings (Peter Maloney) is set afire as the alien is almost finished assimilating him, in one of the most harrowing sequences of this kind I have ever seen. Dr. Copper (Richard Dysart) soon finds his arms being eaten off as Norris (Charles Hallahan) reveals his assimilation by the alien after having a heart attack and relieving the good doctor of his arms in one of the most surprising and genuinely frightening sequences of the film. Palmer (David Clennon) is the man who proves the validity of the crude blood test MacReady devises by revealing that he has already been assimilated, and then promptly eats 'Windows' (Thomas Waites). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXTRA FEATURES\u003cbr\u003eFeaturette-John Carpenter's The Thing: Terror Takes Shape (80:34)\u003cbr\u003eGallery-Production  Background Archive\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Gallery-Cast Production Photographs\u003cbr\u003eGallery-Production Art \u0026amp; Storyboards\u003cbr\u003eGallery- Location Design\u003cbr\u003eGallery-Production Archives\u003cbr\u003eOuttakes\u003cbr\u003eGallery-Post Production\u003cbr\u003eProduction Notes\u003cbr\u003eCast \u0026amp; Crew Biographies\u003cbr\u003eWeb Links\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pearls Books n Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45826227994815,"sku":"24602","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/5552\/0703\/files\/thethingdvd.jpg?v=1783470831","url":"https:\/\/pearlsbooksfnq.com\/products\/24602","provider":"Pearls Books n Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
