Movie: Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Tagline: Not since the beginning of time has the world beheld terror like this!
Trivia: Ingmar Bergman watched this film every day on his birthday.
Goofs: Continuity: When Mark Williams shoots the Gill-Man in the water with the harpoon, the creature is clearly facing Mark when shot, and the spear is lodged between the creature’s ribcage and the abdomen. The Gill-Man is holding the spear in place in the establishing shot. In the next shot, as the Gill-Man swims away, the spear and the wound have moved to the creature’s back, as if Mark had shot him from behind. From that angle, the Gill-Man can’t hold the spear in the same manner.
“A scientific expedition searching for fossils along the Amazon River discover a prehistoric Gill-Man in the legendary Black Lagoon. The explorers capture the mysterious creature, but it breaks free. The Gill-Man returns to kidnap the lovely Kay, fiancee of one of the expedition, with whom it has fallen in love. Written by Marty McKee <mmckee@wkio.com>”
