Most of the "chest-chomp" sequence was shot on an insert stage after principal photography had wrapped. In a manner of speaking, Norris' chest really did open and it really did bite Copper's arms off. As detailed in the making-of documentary The Thing: Terror Takes Shape, Hallahan spent ten days sitting for molds of his face and body. On the day of the shoot, after eight hours of makeup, he positioned himself inside the operating table with his arms, shoulders, and head exposed and blended into the mechanical fiberglass/foam-latex torso (devised by effects tech Archie Gillett). The "chomp" featured in the film is actually the second take of the stunt (the first pass produced a "Las Vegas" style fountain of blood that displeased John Carpenter).
