MacReady: I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won.
Clark: I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off whatever it is.
Childs: How will we make it? MacReady: Maybe we shouldn't.
[Thing roars and screams] MacReady: Yeah fuck you to.
Childs: You're gonna have to sleep sometime, MacCready. MacCready: I'm a real light sleeper, Childs.
The Norwegian dog in the film was named Jed. He was a half wolf/half husky breed. Jed was very obedient, never barked and acted perfectly on cue for his scenes.
The original movie took place at the North Pole, this version takes place at the South Pole.
To give the illusion of icy Antarctic conditions, interior sets on the Los Angeles sound stages were refrigerated down to 40°F while it hovered around 90°F outside.
The film was originally banned when released in Finland.
