I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Absolutely brilliant

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I've seen these Bigfoots. Not so impressive. You is dumb. You is dummy. Explain the plantain. Nobody is do. What it is. What it was. Such? You dig.

Probably the most iconic "hoax" of our generation, the Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot film shot in Bluff Creek California in 1967 still finds itself at the top of the list after nearly fifty years despite attempts to debunk or defame it.The reason for this failure in my opinion is in the films realistic nature, if it's a hoax it's a damn good one. The film is grainy and shaky yet detail can be seen that you wouldn't expect to see in a cheap costume.I've studied this film extensively for a long time, the only thing that prevents me from concluding it's legitimate is the extraordinary, unprecedented nature of it, Bigfoot cannot exist, therefore this film must be a hoax, I think.

i have always followed the stories of mysterious monsters, be it loch Nessie monsters, abominable snowmen, the Bigfoot creature or Irish midgets and their pots of gold. naturally i was very interested in this film: it is a document on the legend of the Bigfoot creature. my only wish is that the film was made years later, for it could have interviewed me about my encounter with the abnormal beast. it happened in 1996 when i was on a camping trip shooting grouse in the forests of Americana. as i trudged through the forest, i became aware of a human like form in the undergrowth and immediately knew it was Bigfoot. i jumped on the creature and wrestled it to the floor, but the creature was too strong for me and made good its escape after kicking me in the shin. my friend Adam took a photo of my shin shortly after the incident, and the evidence is there for all to see: the picture depicts what is undoubtedly a Bigfoot toe print indelibly imprinted into the purple swollen flesh of my shin.

If anyone has seen a documentary on the "yet uncaptured" creatures known as Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, they have invariably seen this short film clip. Along with the Zapruder film of President Kennedy's assassination, and the B& W photo of the Loch Ness Monster' s head rising out of the water (another recently revealed hoax), this film has been utilized in, and shown on, more conspiracy based films and TV shows than any other; truly making it a piece of American pop-culture now.And it is a fake.Bob Gimlin or Roger Patterson (I can't recall which at the moment) made a death-bed confession revealing that it had been a wonderful hoax all those many years ago. No doubt they over- joyed skeptics, crushed the dreams of believers, and discredited the scientists who have used the film to demonstrate the infallible proof that the Bigfoot creatures do EXIST. What I never understood, even at as young as age 8 years old, was how ANYONE who saw it actually believed it wasn't a MAN! Anyone with a hulking Uncle Clyde, Bob, or George-type guy in their family has seen a large man walk like that! C'mon! I NEVER bought it as genuine for a second. (Not to mention that it was conveniently just out-of-focus enough to blur any details, despite Patterson being an amateur filmmaker as well.) Still, it was a harmless prank, and all in all, I think it is a neat clip to watch, and a great piece of modern American history. 5/10.Now if someone would just come forward about the Moon Landing...
