The Thing (1982)

“An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The helicopter pursuing the dog crashes leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realises that an alien life-form with the ability to take over other bodies is on the loose and they don’t know who may already have been taken over. “

Goofs: Crew or equipment visible: In the scene where the dog stops at the room where you see someone sitting on their bed in their room, the dog walks in. The occupant’s shadow in the room turns to look who is coming in, then the scene fades to the next scene. By the look of his haircut in his shadow, we don’t know who this person is, and no one in the cast of The Thing has that type of haircut.
