Being a huge fan of the 1982 Swamp Thing film that I am, this completely blew me away!
Like everyone, I always assumed once Ray Wise's Alec Holland goes into the water, that's the last we see of him in the film,
with him being replaced by Dick Durock in the Swamp Thing suit.
So, imagine my complete shock at discovering this shot of Ray Wise in the suit alongside Dick Durock!
This makes me believe Ray Wise may indeed have played Swamp Thing in many of the close-up shots of the film,
with Dick Durock doing the action stuff. It's a credit to the makeup dept. that it's so difficult to tell who's who in the final film!
