Awesome / Creature from the Black Lagoon

• Capitan Lucas may not be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree but, he has his moments.
  Lucas: It is impossible. But I, Lucas, will do it!
  • There's also the scene in which the more Jerkass scientist Mark needs to be talked down. Lucas does so by holding a knife to his throat while sporting a very broad smile. Note that Lucas has been completely friendly and deferential up until this point: but once his authority as captain is questioned...
• The Creature itself is very badass when he needs to be.
  • The suit itself was a triumph of special effects for the time, and still looks convincing today.
  • Special note has to be given to Ricou Browning. He played the Creature in all the water scenes across the three films, having to swim, fight, and act whilst in a heavy aquatic special effects suit while holding his breath for minutes on end.
