I am not kidding about that. It was the 9th grossing film of 1972. It made 20 million more than The Godfather.
I have seen this movie a few times in various formats including in the theatre. It is one of those gems of monster movies that is addictive. A lonely bigfoot comes in contact with inept locals which leads to shenanigans and an epic narrator/performer of the theme song/director/writer/producer.
It is one of those movies you shouldn't miss. It is a perfect lesson for budding filmmakers on how to sell your movie. This was filmed on a recycled 16mm and because of the passion of the film maker it exploded into an international hit.
The soundtrack is actually pretty good for an outdoors movie of that era. Mostly because the filmmaker ran into a legitimate Hollywood composer and they hit it off. The guy did a professional soundtrack for a movie that cost pennies on the dollar.
I can't praise this movie enough. It's not a long watch. It is a great laugh and a fun lazy afternoon movie.
