Continuity mistake: The first time they confronted the thing at the greenhouse door it opened outwards, which is why they brace the door from opening. But later in the movie right before the end, that same door opens inwards.
Factual error: The Thing is in a block that would weigh a good 2 tons, how did they get it on the plane? Would the plane even take off with that type of weight? and the block of ice with the Thing in it seems to be up on a table of saw horses, neither of which could take that type of weight.
Factual error: When the doctor is showing his colleagues where the seedpods are growing, a fly lands on Dr. Karagen’s eyebrow for a split second. What is a fly doing in a subzero climate?
