Trivia / Swamp Thing (1982)

Go To

  • Acting for Two: Dick Durock (Swamp Thing) also portrayed the agent that was leaving the island when Charlie and Cable first land in the plane.
  • California Doubling: Although set in the Louisiana Bayou, filming largely took place in Charleston, South Carolina, and nearby Johns Island.
  • Executive Meddling: Wes Craven had nothing kind to say about the completion bond company on this film. "I won't name any names, but they were not friendly, and they were not helpful. They just played the tough guys all the time." They demanded Craven cut scenes from the third act so they could stay on schedule and under budget.
  • God Does Not Own This World: Nobody associated with the comic was consulted for the film.
  • Romance on the Set: Wes Craven met his wife Mimi (who plays Arcane's secretary) while he was location scouting for the film.
  • Wag the Director: Louis Jourdan would go over the script every day and would sometimes suggest changes to his character and dialogue.
