Irwin Allen made "The Swarm" because he personally had a phobia about bees. So it was something near and dear to him (apparently). BTW, the name of Lee Grant's TV News reporter is Ann MacGregor. That is exactly the same name of the character that Lee Meriwether played in Irwin Allen's "Time Tunnel" series. A little 'in joke' on Irwin's part.

I second that.

The giant bees are actually pretty creepy

Fantastic quotes :D Yeah, I made it in a bit of hurry so I missed a lot of good stuff.

You missed my two favourite lines: "Houston is on fire. Will history blame me or the bees?" and.. "Man has been fighting a losing war against bees for the past fifty years, I never thought I'd see the final battle in my lifetime." The film also refers to them as the Africans a lot "The Africans are killing us." "We must destroy the Africans."

Well said and 100% true :)

Michael Caine yells a lot in this movie. I understand his passion for getting rid of the bees before they destroy everything, but seriously. He's like a two year old throwing a tantrum sometimes. And that's why this movie is filled with win: great actors doing shoddy acting.
