The final chapter in the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON trilogy has the monster back in non-3D getting a shirt and a pair of pants and walking about breathing air thanks to his fresh new lungs. I'm surprised they didn't get him some Frankenstein shoes to complete the ensemble. He also puts on a few pounds and looks more like a pro wrestler than a swimmer. It's pretty ridiculous visually but the movie works within it's own strange logic and is a decent enough classic creature feature for a boring Sunday afternoon. If this was made more recently I imagine their would be an army of creatures for part 4. There's recycled underwater footage thanks to the lower budget on this one, a monster vs. bobcat fight and the ending sort of teases us that the creature may have committed suicide but they do leave it open for further sequels which didn't happen. Also as with the better monster on the loose flicks you can sympathize with the monster and root for him against all the stupid human characters.
Played with something called THE PRICE OF FEAR which sadly looks like it has zero monsters in it:
