[Last line] MacReady: Why don't we just wait here for a while... see what happens.
[Thing roars and screams] MacReady: Yeah f**k you to.
MacReady: First goddamn week of winter.
MacReady: I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won.
[Norris' head grows legs and tries to walk away.] Palmer: You gotta be f**king kidding.
The original movie took place at the North Pole, this version takes place at the South Pole.
The Norwegian dog in the film was named Jed. He was a half wolf/half husky breed. Jed was very obedient, never barked and acted perfectly on cue for his scenes.
At the beginning of the film the Norwegian with the rifle screams in Norwegian: "Stop, get the hell away! It's not a dog - it's just an imitation of a dog, it's a kind of thing. It imitates. Get the hell away from the dog you fucking idiots!"
In the close up shot of the United States National Science Institute Station 4 sign, a 'Smokey the Bear' sign can be seen.
