Bigfoot's Wild Weekend

Filmed in California, even if you didn't know you see the California license plates on the vehicles. This is not a high-caliber movie. How bad is it? The quality reminds me of the VHS home movies I made in the 1980s with my small children and some of their friends.

In this story Bigfoot is real, there have been some local sightings, and a couple of reporters representing different publications are sent to investigate, and to write stories.

However there are some locals who dress in shaggy camouflage suits and they get mistaken for Bigfoot, creating confusion.

Then there are the van of nubile girls from a local reform school that arrive at the site for a weekend camping trip. They end up topless in the stream when Bigfoot shows up and steals articles of theirs.

The actors are uniformly amateurish, but that is OK because most of the characters are caricatures anyway. It would have been disingenuous to play them with accomplishes actors.

It is so bad it turns out to be entertaining. At home, streaming on Prime. If a rating of 5.5 (on a 1 to 10 scale) is average then this one probably should be a 3. I have actually seen worse.

No spoilers...just 600 charectors. Yikes!

The main reason for the review is I stayed at the motel in the movie. It was a nice stay. I did some water utility work down the road and could park my big rig and have a meal or two. I know this is a movie review. I do not remember a gentlemans club near by. Anyway not really a bad movie. They filmed/taped enough for decent contunuity and very good outdoor scenes...lighting and blocking wise. Another note of trivia the motel was near one on the Yosemite entrances. The fun of this type of movie is how the cast really puts effort in the roles they play...not just a walk through. Not a disapointment.

Another film about Bigfoot with an amount of people wanting to find Bigfoot for a reward. Of course given these characters, there's an attempt at a plot. It features three young women in bikini's on the cover (this cover is the one featured on Tubi. Noticed there is another cover in animation design) for mass views but they aren't the leads and are very briefly in the first half. For some reason their story simply goes away without notice.

With a film as this, people are expecting nudity and there are brief scenes of skin, including one in the opening with two women topless in the lake. Another brief explicit scene later on with two of the young women camping in the tent then another with three of them in the lake where they spot Bigfoot and inevitably run away scared. A rather brief and unnecessary flashback scene with one of the store workers tanning.

Starring two news reporter of two different tabloid magazine's on their search for Bigfoot. Featuring also a father and son, a boyfriend/ girlfriend and three older redneck men.

The main problem is the acting. Many of the actors don't have experience and this was their first role. The lack of emotion, expressions and mannerisms are noticeable. Very noticeable is a scene where the father hunter accidentally shoots one person in the lower back simply because he was covering wearing a large brown coat. Very awkward and cringe acting.

Overall they made Bigfoot out to be comical and desperate for women. Scenes which should have came off as funny simply misfired.

I'd like to think that everyone involved in the making of this turkey had a nice time outside in the woods, with all the fresh air and sunshine. This is a truly terrible movie, the sort of movie that could end the art form. To extrapolate from the late great George S. Kaufman, "In outer space, the Hubble telescope was until recently the most powerful device for viewing far away objects, capable of magnifying these objects hundreds if not thousands of times; recently, the James Webb Telescope was launched and far exceeded the Hubble's performance. Now, if you were to somehow install the Hubble into the James Webb Telescope and point the whole thing at this movie, you would still be incapable of perceiving any possible reason for this movie to have been made." Those persons who gave a rating to this artifact of cinematic offal any higher than 2/10 I suspect are the sort of generous and decent souls who are the true salt of this Earth, early risers who begin each day optimistically and with a song or a whistle upon their lips as they heartily encourage the rest of us to follow their lead in living lives filled with service and faith and meticulous recycling and trash composting. They would never give this steaming pile of celluloid scheiße the rating it deserves because they are oh so better than the rest of us playful, indolent rabble and would never want the film makers to feel bad about foisting this pointless brain dead movie on an unsuspecting public. Good and decent people like that sicken me and I hope they all fall prey to letters from Nigerian princes.

The only reason I gave it more than 1 star is because it was filled with a number of very attractive young ladies of college age who spent nearly all their screen time frolicking in their original suite of clothing given them at birth by a generous and merciful Creator.

If you also appreciate cinema depictions of attractive sky clad women in the peak of youthful health, I heartily recommend this movie. But if even these transient charms are not enough to sustain you over the running time of this movie, then please do yourself the great service of running from this movie as you would run from certain painful death.

If you were ever wondering what the cut scenes of the plot of an adult film were, look no further. I'm almost certain that the cast were forced to act here.
