** Keep in mind, this was during the Cold War, and the presence of a nigh-indestructible potential superweapon could be very ''tempting'' to the wrong people on either side. Keeping it so top-secret that ''nobody'' knew what was there was apparently a gamble that didn't pay off.

**Cold temperatures don't "kill" it, just stop it. It could "survive" perfectly well in space, hurtling around inside an inert meteorite.

It's a pretty big plot hole.

* If the titular blob is so weak to cold temperatures that some fire extinguishers can stop it in its tracks completely, how did it survive in space for so long?
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Obviously from the remake. Moving it there.


* At about the 34:00 mark, after the Blob kills the two in the car, a close up is shown of the Blob with something stuck in it's mass. What is that thing? Is it an insect? A ribbed condom? [[http://imgur.com/r7Hb91b Click for image]]
** It's a ring. Earlier in the scene, the dude presented it to his date to butter her up. Shortly after, we see a whole box of them in his trunk, indicating they were cheap, mass-produced junk.

Split the different works off to their own pages.

Added DiffLines:

* Wouldn't people have been warned to stay away from that part of Alaska by the sequel, or at least told what is there?
