YMMV / Swamp Thing (1982)

• Moment of Awesome: As Alec and Linda are captured by mooks, Anton Arcane reveals himself:
  Alec: [sees Ritter before him] No, Ritter. Not you.
  Ritter: No, Dr. Holland, not Ritter. [voice changes] Ritter, poor fellow, is long dead.
  Arcane: [removes his mask] You have heard of but never seen me, so I will introduce myself: My name is Arcane.
• Complete Monster: Dr. Anton Arcane, from this film and its sequel, is a wicked Mad Scientist with dreams of immortality and power over the world. In the first movie, Arcane seeks to exploit the invention of the noble scientist Dr. Alec Holland, a solution capable of solving world hunger, having the staff of Holland's facility massacred by his mercenary entourage while personally murdering Holland's sister. Arcane later takes the formula for himself while testing it on one of his own men as gratitude for procuring it for him, mutating him into a freakish pig-man. In the second movie, Arcane facilitates the experimentation on countless dozens of innocent people, resulting in most of them killed in the process and those who survived afflicted with horrific, mutative growths, while throwing away the lives of his own subordinates to use their DNA to extend his own life and eventually killing his own daughter to reverse the degeneration of his body. The epitome of selfishness and dark ambition, Arcane's ultimate wish is to force the world to bow to him or starve, concerned only with his power and legacy above even the lives of his closest friends and family.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: An accidental case: the original region-1 DVD release of the first film packaged the unrated cut (with significantly more nudity than the theatrical cut) in a case which still bore the PG rating of the theatrical cut. The "unrated" cut was created for European release in an effort to make it Hotter and Sexier. This version was never meant to be seen in America due to a contractual clause by Adrienne Barbeau, whose nudity was shown in a bathing scene in the river. Because of this, all American video releases since said DVD are the PG-rated version until the Ultra HD Blu-ray release.
