Not only
watched it, I
bought it!
Remember, Grasshopper, the desperate days of the Drought after
Moonlight? When we wondered when/if we would ever see him again?
It takes a terrible toll on a gal and she just might have even paid full price for it.

Word, babe.
(although I don't think I paid full price for it, but I made up for it in spades when I bought Oyster Farmer)
In all seriousness...this movie was fantastic in its horribleness.
Although I had to watch it a whole bunch of times before I watched it all the way to end - I usually gave up after the swamp thing gets Alex.

Ironically, that particular pic looks eerily similar (tho far different lighting) to your current banner!

Although I've seen some of the worst movies David Carradine(Evil Toons Think Big, Safari 3000) and Dean Stockwell (Werewolf of Washington, Time Guardian, Dunwich Horror) have ever made so I have a strong stomach for bad movies
I even love the bad Monster Movies. I just watched "The Giant Claw" 1957 the monster "bird" effect was so bad it was hysterical. My sis and I can't get enough of these horrible flicks
The worse they are the more fun I have watching them.

So Yeah Man Thing is a gem in the realm of BAD movies
I liked The Giant Claw Kath. I like all those 50s scifi b&w movies. Crab Monsters comes to mind.
But Man Thing? Don't own it, but I have seen it. That has to be the worst fake southern accent I have ever heard. Poor Alex!

This is an interesting review of Man-Thing from Chris Davis, a staff writer at Hawaii Five-0 Online (she's reviewing some movies of the actors of the H50 cast).
She actually LIKES it
and introduces the concept of an "Australian Rat Pack"

I was just reading this article...
http://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/art ... perheroes/
And one of the things included is Man-Thing, with the original trailer, which features one line of Alex's Australian/faux-Southern accent...
