"But I'm a plant..."
"And I'm a vegetarian."
Saturday morning cinema. Watch it with a bowl of sugary cereal. The former research assistant of Swamp Thing's origin is now a Bond Villain with a secret laboratory in his plantation mansion, and Swamp Thing falls in love with Abby, played by a brilliant Heather Locklear. Hijinks and action ensues.
Return of Swamp Thing is to Swamp Thing what C.H.U.D II is to C.H.U.D. that is to say, an unequivocally better film and don't fucking @ me.
So many terribly funny one-liners with great bizarre effects and nonstop fire and explosions.
Definitely a stinky swampy guilty pleasure film.
cannot believe i was ever mad this is a comedy instead of pretentious/mopey alan moore stuff
Undeniable proof that Jim Wynorski was a better director than Wes Craven. Sorry but I don’t make the rules.

"The Return of Swamp Thing" – Liebe auf den zweiten Sumpf!
Manchmal schaut man einen Film und weiß sofort: Der ist schlecht. Die Effekte? Lächerlich. Die Story? Absurd. Und trotzdem passiert’s – man ist hin und weg. Genau das ist mir bei „The Return of Swamp Thing“ passiert, einem Film, der den Begriff "Trash" in eine neue Liga hebt und trotzdem irgendwie... wundervoll ist.
Die Story? Swamp Thing, unser Lieblingsheld aus dem Sumpf, kehrt zurück, um die Welt – oder wenigstens eine matschige Ecke davon – vor einem größenwahnsinnigen Wissenschaftler und seinen genetischen Monstern zu retten. Und klar, Romantik gibt es auch: Heather Locklear spielt die furchtlose Lady, die nicht nur mit ihren Pflanzen spricht, sondern sich…
Hey if Swamp Thing’s made out if plants, why does he have teeth?
(This movie is consistently funny. Sometimes intentionally!)
Wynorski’s Return of the Swamp Thing > Craven’s Swamp Thing
While there’s no doubt Return of the Swamp Thing is a supremely silly comic book sequel, I still found myself enjoying it more than the original, even finding the movie more entertaining than most superhero adaptations of its era, helped by the following:
* An all-time classic title sequence
* Winking, silly dialogue. For example:
“But I’m a plant…”
“And I’m a vegetarian.”
* The horniest prepubescent kids in cinema history
* An absolutely gorgeous Heather Locklear, who proves she can vamp it up with best of them
* A Bondian big bad who has a secret laboratory in the bowls of his plantation mansion
*…
The late twentieth century was a veritable golden age if u were a Swamp Thing fan, mostly because Swamp Thing technically did not exist before the early seventies but come on, of course he did. There has always been a Swamp Thing! I am someone who adores pretty much every iteration of Swamp Thing. Currently I am (re)reading late-eighties Swamp Thing Comics, having just finished Moore & then Veitch's abbreviated run. I have just begun Wheeler & am most psyched to read Nancy A Collins, whose Sonja Blue Vampire Novels were/are splatterpunk favorites of mine. I have had for the last decade plus a framed poster of Eric Powells cover of Swamp Thing & Abigail from Swamp Thing # 22 Vol. 4 by…
"The Return of Swamp Thing" is a 1989 superhero film directed by Jim Wynorski. As "Swamp Thing" (1982) released on the earlier half of the decade, its reception was a bit mixed in its delivery. Wes Craven, who directed that film, was still somewhat in the early onset of his career, making a serviceable film that appears he mainly garnered to be a steppingstone to future projects. Especially this comes with the acknowledgement that he made streamlined drive to stay on a clear path with the budget, so as much as Craven still introduced his applications of auteur-based value, many were somewhat dissuaded by the production. I previously reviewed "Swamp Thing" and spoke about its marinated value of cult with…
💚BORN ON THE BAYOU💚
This was way more fun than the first and a lot campier. The only thing missing was more Adrienne Barbeau!!! I love genetically engineered creatures (un-men?). Leechman was the rubber monster of my dreams, but still no match for Swamp Thing!!!!!
My favorite part was seeing Swamp Thing’s goo form travel through the pipes into the bathtub..just like this. Get yourself a plant boyfriend 🌱💚🌱
Lady got horny for swamp thing but Ngl I would also cause Dick Durock got the smoothest ass voice ever.
This movie is fun as hell it screams 80s like think of 80s action and 80s comedy with mild twist of horror and it becomes a swamp thing returns, but honestly when it comes to the whore, it is actually fucking terrifying like oh my God, the Cronenberg shit is nightmare fuel, Louis Jourdan place the most evil DC character ever so well as doctor arcane, and he doesn’t even have powers, literally one of the most terrifying DC villains I’ve ever seen, and that goes in a giant catalog. Heather Locklear Carries the movie so damn hard, her acting is so fun and this, but overall it’s a good movie the Cranbridge stuff scared me, the action parts were fun overall a fun movie peak 80s.
