Big Foot: Review

starstarstarstar
This pretty silly monster picture made decent money at the box office, because interest in the fabled Big Foot peaked just as the film, shot in 1969, was released. Lansing is forced to parachute into the dense woods of northern California after her private plane has engine trouble. There she finds herself confronted by the legendary missing link, Big Foot (in a laughably ratty costume), who is looking to breed and carts her off to his lair. Meanwhile, weekend biker Christopher Mitchum is attacked by another Big Foot; when he comes to, he discovers that his girl friend has also been kidnapped by the tattered creatures. He goes back to town and drafts a posse to rescue the girls, while two local backwoods types (Carradine and John Mitchum) plot to capture the beasts and exhibit them in a sideshow. Terminally dumb, the film does contain some priceless moments of high camp and is worth a look for that alone. B western fans will note that Ken Maynard plays the owner of the general store. Although he had been inactive for several decades, the elderly Maynard came out of retirement to appear in BIG FOOT, only to beat a hasty retreat back to the home where he died four years later. leave a comment
