Title: Bigfoot Post by: Vermin Boy on December 23, 2001, 05:17:08 PM Anyone ever seen this film? They have a couple of copies for sale at my local video store, and it looks pretty cheesy: The cover has a picture of the monster hurling a motorcycle and a blurb claiming it to be "The greatest monster since KING KONG!", it stars, among others, John Carradine and Doodles Weaver (Spike Jones' right hand man), and it was produced by Anthony Cardoza, who produced films by such great directors as Ed Wood, Ray Dennis Steckler, and (gulp) Coleman Francis. Anyone know anything about this one?

I mean wretched . . . A rule of thumb: ANY film with John Carradine in it after "Moby Dick" has cheese written all over it. He did a series of unwatchably bad science fiction films in Italy in the late '60's/early '70's. Carradine kept his sense of humour about it all & was grateful for the work. He is parodying this low point in his career in Woody Allen's "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex, But Were Afraid to Ask", which is terrific fun if you've never seen it . . . Anyway, this film sounds like a winner! er, loser, er doesn't this site play merry hell with our aesthetic sensibilities?

Plus the actors spend a good bit of time tied to wooden posts as prisoners of the bigfeet. Argghh! Andrew Title: Re: Bigfoot Post by: Squishy on December 24, 2001, 04:58:53 AM http://www.badmovieplanet.com/3btheater/b/bigfoot.html
I saw it about eight years ago, and I don't remember a single frame. I saw Frankstein Meets The Space Monster (AKA Mars Invades Puerto Rico) the same day, and remember all of it. What does that tell you? |
