Okay viewing item from personal collection. Rare video collectible First Edition from MCA, Complete & Uncut, with Original 3-D Glasses from 1989 Rhino Video release of THE MASK. TAGLINES : It Reaches Out and GRABS YOU! " "Creature from a million years ago!
Ricou Browning and Ben Chapman never met during the making of the film. Browning's underwater scenes were filmed in Florida, and Chapman's scenes were filmed in California.
They didn't meet until they both attended a convention in Florida 20 years later. A severe accident was narrowly avoided while filming the fight scene between the creature and Zee. Ben Chapman, the stuntman who acted as the creature on land, and Bernie Gozier, who played Zee, rehearsed the fight scene for several days.
There was a particular need for the extended rehearsal since the creature costume allowed for very little mobility or visibility. The scene called for Zee to swing at the creature with a machete and for the creature to grab his hand before he could complete the motion. When the scene was filmed with the actors in costume, Chapman missed Gozier's hand when he swung the machete at him.
The costume pieces were discarded by Universal after production had finished on the three films (Creature from the Black Lagoon and its two sequels) and were later recovered from the studio's dumpster by a janitor, who thought the ensemble would make a good Halloween costume for his son. CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON was the very first film that Stephen King can remember seeing as a young child. The'impression' it left apparently inspired his one and only'imagination' as a fantasy and horror writer.
Watch for early performance of future superstar, CLINT EASTWOOD, as a lab assistant. Some images may be representative.
