So why does Peter Weller even say that odd line at the end where he throws the dynamite at the creature by saying "Say hi, motherfucker"?
Did Peter Weller come up with that or were they just trying to copy the MacReady moment from The Thing?
He says “Say ahh, motherfucker!”
Which is what doctors say when they want you to open your mouth. He wanted the creature to open its mouth so he could throw the grenade into it. Silly, but that’s what he says & why.
well if the amphibian creature was absorbing human DNA then it would have become smart and then Peter Weller's character would have a big problem out in sea.
He ain't MacReady
Probly copying Roy Schieder
"Smile you sonofabitch!"
He says it because it's a throwback to JAWS when Chief Brody said "Smile you sonofa-BOOM!!!!" and back then that was quite the crowd pleaser, so they thought they could replicate it so 30 Years down the road, the new generation could complain about it
