I love all three of the "Creature" movies....But, one thing that has always bothered me is in "The Creature Walks Among Us" why does he change in his size, just because he lost his gills and started using his lungs???...It's not a subtle size difference. He starts off sleek and slender then goes to wrestler huge!.....Why??
shareI always chalked it up to a combination of needing bigger muscles to move around on land vs. the water, and swelling from having been covered in 3rd-degree burns. Those are just my own fill-in-the-blanks, though.
shareWhen they first take off the bandages to look at his eyes one of the guys say, "It's a basic mutation. It's caused a change." or something like that. Something in the process of getting him to use his lungs is causing him to mutate from a water creature to a land creature.
Lame-O I know. You can see how much bigger he is even when he is covered up. I don't understand why they had a guy play the part that was soooo much bigger than the original creature.
I wonder if the producers thought that, stripped of his claws, the terrestrial version wouldn't be scary enough, so they beefed him up.
shareAs part of the experiment to change him into a land animal and to help him heal from his burns, they injected him with steroids and HGH.
