Colin: You think they're gonna pay a bonus for bringing home an alien instead of core samples?
Sam Carter: And the last place you want to be is cooped up with a dozen of Norwegian guys.
Adam Finch: You know, I never believed in this shit.
Jonas: I always did.
Adam Finch: In the three years that I have known him, this is the most excited I have ever seen him.
Adam Finch: So, I'm gonna die because I floss?
Continuity mistake: In the 1982 movie, the alien ship is uncovered by the Norwegian scientists using thermite. (As seen on the films discovered by the Americans.) In the 2011 movie, it is uncovered when the Thing gets back into the ship and starts up the engines.
Question: They find the thing trying to escape the initial crash but it froze. In the 1982 version, they find another thing in a similar manner. Does this mean Kate was infected but didn't know it but turned as she walked off into the night?

Answer: In the 1982 version they never find another thing in a similar manner. It's just the one creature. Whether Kate was or was not infected is irrelevant, she was not found in the 1982 plot.
