Hot damn, The Thing passes the test! A black guy survives*! This places it with such company as Ghosts of Mars, Deep Blue Sea, Death Race, and Event Horizon. Oh, and Predator II. Movies like Leviathan and Doomsday are in the hall of shame.

Can anyone think of any other horror/SF movies in which the black guy survives?


*Up until credits, at least, and I'll take what I can get.

Yeah, I remembered Pitch Black after I posted. Which wins extra because Vin Diesel isn't white to begin with, and Keith David's character was Muslim. God I love that movie.

Yeah, they got a surprising number of things right with that flick. I always wonder in SF movies where all the other cultures, religions, and ethnicities got to between the modern world and zee Future, but PB did good. The sequel, on the other hand...a third (fourth, if you count the animated short and I don't see why we shouldn't) is on the way, but I'm decidedly less excited without the prospect of more Keith David.
