Where there are Gill Men, there must be Gill Women
13 May 2012
I don't know what revenge the Gill Man was taking in Revenge Of The Creature, but I do know that he was a Gill Man with some definite needs. There are no women of his species around to fulfill his needs so he's settling for the next best thing.

After Creature From The Black Lagoon was found in the Everglades and came to a sad end, another expedition finds a Gill Man in the Amazon head water country. This of course is a scientific expedition, but they have expenses and someone gets the bright idea that an exhibit at an aquarium will make the creature pay for itself.

Carl Denham when he was exhibiting King Kong had the same idea and we know how that turned out. A lot of the plot elements of King Kong are present in Revenge Of The Creature. The Gill Man fixes on scientist Lori Nelson to the distress of both John Agar and John Bromfield. I guess there are no blonds in the Everglades or the Amazon.

Look quickly and don't blink and you'll spot Clint Eastwood in a small role. The whole film is on the silly side, but definitely a lot of fun.
