The best description for "The Swarm" probably would be "disaster movie meets bee horror to form deluxe trash with an excellent cast (e.g. Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, Richard Chamberlain and Henry Fonda)". The story is a bit odd (bees are the forerunners of the apocalypse), the actors do not exactly give their best and some of the dialogs are really horrible.

An extended version of the movie, which features about 38:47 min. new material, was released in the US. The US DVD features the correct aspect ratio (2.35:1), good video and audio quality and useful goodies. Most interesting is the original making-of.

The downside of the Extended Version is, in my opinion, that there are only a few meaningful new scenes and the movie is being prolonged a lot. Most of the new scenes just emphasize the trashy character of the movie. Some of the new dialog lines are really stupid and the extended death scene of Henry Fonda makes the Extended Version really enjoyable.

But the helicopters must take no aggressiv action if they spot any swarm. We`re garthering information at this point, not attacking. Clear?"
Major Baker: "Clear."
Crane: "second item: Have the complex call me the moment Dr. Krim is about to land."

Scene change: Policemen and members oft he military explore the area in which the Durants were attacked. Crane and Major Baker arrive.

General Slater: "Here come your choppers, as ordered."
Crane: "Thank you General."

Crane offers the General some sweets.


General Slater: "No thanks."
Crane: "High in potassium, low in sodiom."
General Slater: "Terrific."

Crane looks around and says:


Crane: "Seargeant, start your patterns."
Seargeant: "Start your dispersal pattern in sectors A and B. Report immediately any sighting of swarms."
Pilot: "Roger."


The corpses of Paul’s parents are being carried away. The helicopters fly away while Crane continues to search the area.

General Slater: "If you tell us, what you`re looking for, we try to help."
Crane: "I`m looking for bees. Unfortunately, they washed down the Durant car bevore we got it."

Crane picks up a piece of plastic.

Crane: "Look"
General Slater: "Doesn`t look like a bee to me"
Crane: "Plastic. It`s a piece of a plastic cup. There are pieces all around her. Look. There, there."
General Slater: "What`s so significant about that?"
Crane: "I`m afraid to speculate, but I think the bees did this."
Major Baker: "You saying, these bees eat plastic?"
Crane: No, no, but I`m wondering. You`re american honey bees have a weak mouth. They couldn`t break the skin of a grape. But it looks like this species is tearing up plastic cups possibly to line their hives. Now, if this is true, they didn`t just get here. I mean, the invasion didn`t just now begin. They have been here some time. Breeding. Increasing."
General Slater: "So?"
Crane: "Well, suppose these bees are using plastic to insulate their hives."
General Slater: "No bee is that smart."
Crane: "Suppose these African bees are."

Dr. Anderson: "Yes, sir. Is there any other antitoxin we could`ve used?"
Dr. Krim: " If the bees that stung them were African the answer`s probably no. Got nothing in our bag fro them. Cardiopep may have eased their palpitations, but it`s no finale antidote. Call me if there`s any change in these men."
Dr. Anderson: "Yes."
Dr. Krim: "They don`t look very good, do they?"

There is a conference in the bunker.

Crane: "Good morning, ladies, gentlemen. Please forgive the haste and secrecy with which you`ve been summoned here. We`ve been ivaded by a mutant species of the African killer bee."
Dr. Hubbard: "Crane, if I may."
Crane: "Yes, Dr. Hubbard?"
Dr. Hubbard: "I was sent by the president to help, but I think you`re dead wrong. I was one of the first people sent to Brazil when the killer bee began proliferating. We prefer to call this bee Brazilian, nor African."
Crane: "I`m well aware of that, Dr. Hubbard."
Dr. Hubbard: "I`ve been tracking their progress north and there is no evidence whatsoever that they`ve even crossed Central America."
Crane: "Apparently, they crossed the Caribbean from Venezuela. There were three hurricanes in that ocean tract this season. Any one of them could have swept the bees in. Much of this land is used to cultivate flowers. A perfect breeding ground."
Dr. Hubbard: "With all due respect to the men who died here there`s no proof that the bees that killed them were Brazilian. Or, if you insist, African."
Crane: "What`s important is what they are. And what they are is a mutant species of the original African killer bee. Dr. Krim will explain. The autopsies confirm that the venom is deadlier than anything we`ve encountered. It appears there`s enough poison in just four stings to kill the average person."
Dr. Hubbard: "I won`t dispute my learned colleague but it takes 26 tests to identify the African. How many tests have you made so far?"
Crane: "Major."

The light in the room is dimmed and Major Baker turns a projector on.

Crane: "You`re looking at the final test I made this morning from the one dead bee that we found. Notice the 18-vein intersection on the forewing and the 17 separate angles of the hamuli. Only one bee has that configuration and that is the African killer bee. Major."

The projector is being turned off and the lights go on again.

Crane: "Dr. Hubbard, I would appreciate it if you would head up our environmental team. Dr. Newman will be in charge of the genetic couterattack. Dr. Krim will try to develop a mass antidote to save the lives of future victims. Because of the danger to nearby Marysvill, if the bees attack I`ve invited Mayor Tuttle and School Superintendent Ms. Schuster to attend this briefing. Any comment? Mayor Tuttle."
Mr. Tuttle: "In view of what you`ve told us, I`ll set up a town council meeting. I`ll see that our air-raid warning system is repaired. It hasn`t worked in some time. If the bees come back, at least we can war people to take shelter."
Crane: "A very practical approach. Ms. Schuster."
Ms. Schuster: "The idea of those killer bees coming back is petrifying. I`ll alert all my teachers to be prepared for the worst. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in asking us to this briefing. Thank you, Dr. Crane."
Crane: "You`re welcome, Ms. Schuster. Any further comment?"
Wissenschaftlerin: "What`s our timetable?"
Crane: "Eight-hou shifts, round the clock."
Wissenschaftlerin: "I meant, what`s the length of our program? How long can we expect to be here?"
Crane: "Until we have destroyed the African bee or it has destroyed us."

Crane: "These bees are of joint concern. They kill Americans without regard for whether or not they should salute you. There will be no airdrops until I give the okay."
General Slater: "Your okay, huh? Then perhaps I can persuade you to attack this particular swarm. Now we konw where it is. Attack and eliminate it!"
Crane: "Possibly, if you can explain to me how you airdrop chemicals without killing natice insects. If you kill the Afircan bee you`ll also kill the American."
General Slater: "Better a few American bees than a lot of American people."
Crane: "That is the point, general! The honey bee is vital to the environment! In America, they pollinate six billion dollars` worth of crops! Killing the bee kills the crop! Killing the plant kills the people! No! No, general! There will be no airdrop until we know what we`re dropping and where and how! Excuse me."

Crane geht. Major Baker kommt.


Major Baker: "What about the airdrop, sir? Sir?"

General Slater leaves without an answer.

Crane: "Listen. They`re still out there. Billions of them. It`s as if it were their city. Even though Slater`s been at it for 24 hours with every soldier he can get."
Dr. Anderson: "You talk about the bees as if you admired them."
Crane: "I do. They never fail to astonish me. It`s as though a broad range of contingecies has been planned for by the creator and programmed into them for an endless future. Making them the true inheritors of the Earth. A world without people."
Dr. Anderson: "Maybe the creator was equally obliging toward us and programmed into us the ability to beat them."
Crane: "Well, I wish he`d give us a clue."

Crane scratches his back.

Dr. Anderson: "Here, let me."


Dr. Anderson massages his back.

Crane. "Right there, that`s lovely. This is better than 8 hours sleep."
Dr. Anderson: "How would you know?"
Crane: "Listen. Listen.",
Dr. Anderson: "What is it?"
Crane: "The bees."
Dr. Anderson: "Why are they making that sound?
Crane: "That`s the hunger tone. It causes them to mass together as if by community they can destroy their enemy. Cold, hunger, anything. I wonder if there is another sound that`s part of their ritual."


Dr. Anderson is feeling dizzy.
