Project Terrible: THE CAPTURE OF BIGFOOT

Thanx to Thomas from Cinema Gonzo for giving me this total crapfest.

THE CAPTURE OF BIGFOOT

Alternate Title:
The Legend Of Bigfoot

German Title:
Big Foot - Die Rache des Jägers

USA, 1979
Director: Bill Rebane

1/10




Finally a movie that totally deserves the label 'terrible':
"The Boredom of Bigfoot"... um... "The Capture Of Bigfoot", an incredibly silly drive-in cheesefest from Bill Rebane, the Ed Wood of the 60s and 70s, responsible for crap like "Monster a-Go Go" or "The Giant Spider Invasion".


Pros:
A few mildly funny dialogue lines like
"Superstition my ass. You young punks make me so damn mad!" / "Don't slam the door like that, you drunk!" / "Oh yes... it's for a big trap... with live bait... MWAHAHA!!"
and a few random shots of various animals, that are all way more entertaining than anything else in here.


Cons:
~ The Bigfoot costume looks so incredibly laughable, it's almost embarrassing.
~ The growls Bigfoot makes sound like he's vomiting.
~ Every single Bigfoot-scene is so god-damn bad, it's hard to believe that this all was meant to be serious.
~ The acting is largely horrible.
~ Every single character seemed to be either imbecile or just stupid.
~ The whole movie drags and drags. No tension, no thrills, nothing even remotely suspenseful.
~ Worst of all: the music. A horrid Bigfoot-folk-song, some horrid disco-pop, some typical 70s porn-style music and loads of tiresome acoustic-guitar-crap.


A crappy piece of rubbish.
"Harry & The Hendersons" is a masterpiece compared to this :-)

  1. There is 5 minutes of quality yeti suit foolishness. I especially likes the way he falls when he gets shot. The other 80 minutes or so is a brutal slog. Still, for me, the monkey suit gold was worth it. I, of course, am insane.

    Sorry for ruining your life for 90 minutes. ;)

  2. Yeah, I admit that there were a few moments where I chuckled a bit, but this couldn't help over the fact how crappy this schlockfest is :)

    No problem, mate. Mondo has ruined my life even more with the quasi-gay-slasher "Beastly Boyz" - review up tomorrow!

    SECRET INFORMATION:

    I watched the MST3K version, as I had already seen the regular version. I didn't admit that because I consider it cheating. Also, I didn't want to go off on a rant about MST3K, but wanted to focus on spiders who have islands, and the models who crash into these islands.
