AbeStreet I remember watching this as a kid back in the late 70's and early 80's. As a child I wanted to believe that bigfoot existed and so I bought into all the "supposed" evidence that this documentary brought out. In 1985 I taped this show off of late night tv. The picture is pretty bad, not due to the age of the tape but the condition of the film when it was broadcast. The colors are very muted, everything seems to have a green tint to it and most colors are not identifiable. About once a year I still watch this show. It brings back memories.However, when I now watch this film I can't help but to chuckle at the so called "evidence" that is displayed. Most of it is open to interpretation and not concrete proof and some of it has been, evidently, proven a hoax since this film was released. I believe most of the so called witnesses either were out and out lying to the interviewers so that they could get their 15 minutes of fame or they so wanted to believe in bigfoot that they convinced themselves that what they saw was a bigfoot. In many ways it's like those who believe they have come in contact with aliens or seen a space ship. Have you ever noticed that most of us never see an alien or space ship but those who have seen one of them once have usually seen one of them more than once. What I enjoy most about this film is Peter Graves interviews and narration. If you are able to view this film watch and listen to Peter Graves as he creates a fact out of a thin air. For example, Mr. Graves will ask a person who has witnessed a bigfoot sighting about their experience and then he will make a statement of fact something like this: "...now that we've established that bigfoot does exist..." and then he'll move on to his next point. In other words he takes an unverifiable event and treats it as fact. Now, as a 33 year old adult, I can't help but to chuckle at how this film attempts to sway the viewers opinion on the existence of bigfoot. This so called documentary does try to appear unbiased by interviewing professors and experts in various fields some of which believe in bigfoot and some that do not. Again, this is not what it appears. Watch how the comparisons are made. Peter Graves usually asks someone who believes in bigfoot to explain why he believes and then he asks another person why he doesn't. Once the person who does not believe gives his reasons Mr. Graves goes back to the first person and gives him a chance to refute what the person who does not believe in bigfoot has said but Mr. Graves never gives the person who does not believe in bigfoot a chance to respond to the first persons refute. Thus the person who believes in bigfoot gets the first and last word.For some reason I still enjoy this film. I guess I don't really believe in Bigfoot or the Lock Ness monster anymore. With today's technology I think we would have more concrete proof that these two entities exist. That being said this documentary is fun to watch. It's kind of like Santa Claus for an adult. You no longer believe but it's still fun to read or watch the stories and remember when you did believe! Not that it will happen anytime soon but I do wish they would release this film in DVD form.
ridley_64 A very interesting film especially if you are alone one afternoon and have nothing else to do. I remember around Christmas time about 2 years ago I happened to catch this film on television. All I can say is it is a very good movie and keeps the interest in ones mind hoping for the film to never end! You can bet that this film is a definite Cult Classic! I have always been interested ever since I was little in the "unknown" and the "unexplained". This great movie was made in 1975 and we all have to realise that this is when the hype with all that stuff was big. It has even been shown and explained that the largest amount of sightings for Sasquatch, Water Monsters, and U.F.O's was in the 70's. The true "terror abductions" with aliens seems to of started in the late sixties, which was a big change from the previous "abductions of grandeur" from the 1950's. The 80's seems to be the "death" of the sightings for these phenomenon and throughout the 90's and even now these sightings almost hardly ever happen, what does that tell you? Of course one theory (which I agree with) was that when this mysteries were big, others wanted attention themselves and there was a "hoping on the band-wagon" effect. No doubt that some of these people were telling the truth or at least think they did. For example: when people are at a place that is infamous for having some type of monster or phenomenon; if they see something people will automatically jump to the conclusion that it was the monster and ignore the other possible explanations. But this movie overall is very good and nicely done, 'tis quite entertaining and I suggest one to see it one of these days. I still have some belief that there are many animals out there we haven't discovered yet, especially in the oceans! I give this movie 8/10.
rodcorvo I saw this film on telivision and t was a lot better than I had expected but it wasnt anything special. Its a documentry mostly focused on bigfoot and the yeti. Some of the scenes were bigfoot apears are mildly creepy. Anyway it had a lot of flaws but I'll give it 2 and a half stars.RECCOMENDED FOR BIGFOOT FANS AND SOMEBODY WHO HAS NOTHING ELSE TO DO.
Ld Corgi While eating my Wheat Thins two days ago, I smelled a funny odor. Real funny like. You ever smell something and then you just wonder if it was you? Same kinda thing. I always preferred wheat to any other sort of grain. Don't know why. Remember that show, "Love, American Style", from the 70's? Well, me too! Speaking of which (Don't get me started with the "Three's Company" cast!)... Smashing film about the man who would be king of the entire tuna underworld. Just a wonderful French comedy. What a Coup, Rae Dawn Chong!!!
