Arcane crawled over to the closest wall, wriggling on his knees as he reached the corner, his arms wrapped around himself along with the pieces of coarse, ebon fabric that were plastered to his shivering body.
Arcane rose, straining, his teeth grit as his spine arched inches off the table before the grips round his skin forced him back down.
Arcane's mind was shut off, with nothing to express the danger save for the man's own behavior, Alec's own pre-warned knowledge, and the occasional flashes of involuntary, outward thrust thought, like red alert klaxons from the brain.

Arcane is bent on stealing the technology and using it to flmail his way to power, so he sends his commando team to storm Alec's lab, get his notes, and leave no survivors.
But in setting up the battle between Holland and Arcane, Craven also ends up developing a story of nature versus technology, eventually coming down to a fight between a creature that's literally part of the wilderness and a tyrant who wants to exploit it for personal gain.
Plus, it bothers me that even though Holland seemed to know Arcane was after his technology and had his own militia at his disposal, his lab looked like it had all the security of a box of Cracker Jack's.

 DVD Verdict Review - The Return Of Swamp Thing
Anton Arcane (aging screen idol Louis Jordan), left for dead following a monstrous transformation and climactic battle with Swamp Thing (stuntman/actor Dick Durock), is miraculously and inexplicably revived by the genetic wizardry of his associate Dr. Lana Zurrell (Sarah Douglas—the evil Ursa from Superman II).
Unfortunately, the effects of his revival are short-lived and his body has begun aging rapidly (a good plot device for a 70-year-old actor).
Just when failure seems inevitable, the arrival of Arcane's stepdaughter Abby (Heather Locklear—fresh off television's T.J. Hooker) signals imminent success, as Abby shares the DNA of her mother who unwillingly gave her life in order to prolong Arcane's.

 Voices From Beyond : Forum Index -> Swamp Thing
So after bemoaning the fact that Anton Arcane was set to return in the next Swamp Thing arc, I was surprised to see that he acutally turns up as the antagonist in Swamp Thing #7 and #8! How bankrupt creatively do you have to be to wheel Arcane out for your two-issue story ?!?
I get the impression that Pfeiffer had plotted out a story-line somewhat longer than the 2 issues he woundup being given and that the remainder of his opening gambit on the book was condensed into #8.
I think Pfeiffer shows alot of promise but it seems like DC keep twatting him about (he also got pulled off Aquaman after instigating a major turning point in the series, only to be replaced by journeyman, John Arcudi, whose work I like but is very often the kiss of death to a series).

It's a shame that this movie was not only made but that it helped inspire a live action TV show and a campy cartoon.
