Yours is still worth getting tho, for even better cheese from included flicks like "War Of The Robots", "Driller Killer", and "Bad Taste".
It's on both. This movie is awful anyway though. I thought that it might have the same creepy feel as "In Search Of". Unfortunatly, nothing creepy about this.
shareExcept you're better off getting Bad Taste through Anchor Bay, far better picture quality.

I had never heard of this film before, but when I saw the word BIGFOOT (with an appropriately cheesy stock photo of a phoney Bigfoot) jump out at me from the dollar DVD bin at Target I stopped and looked.
It was on a DigiView Entertainment double-feature DVD along with Escape From Angola -which nearly caused me to pass it up because I detest made-for-TV tree-hugger movies and Born Free-style rip-offs.
The blurb offered no help at all, but at least it made it sound like a documentary rather than a lame TV movie or a fictional story.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the nature photography, pleased at the better-than-average condition of the print used (although it plainly shows artifacts of having been made from a VHS source) and reasonably impressed by the music -although in pictures of this sort one cannot help but get a little wistful for the comforting strains of Hey Travis Crabtree.
Also like Legend of Boggy Creek this film suffers -and suffers badly- from the Ed Wood school of film narration. Marx's embarassingly "ooohhh...ahhh" manner of delivery is just painfully bad and seriously undermines the impact the film may have had.
The film's other serious weakness apart from the obviously -and I mean OBVIOUSLY- fake Bigfoot footage, is the almost complete lack of anything to do with Bigfoot. It reminded me of one of those Geraldo-esque "investigative reports" or the more recent National Geographic tomb raider specials where they spend an hour (or two) giving you background, lead-up, potted historical context, LOTS and LOTS of stock footage, a few minutes of random people just standing around (sometimes ooh-ing and aaah-ing) and then....nothing.
On the positive side, this film presents some utterly spectacular nature footage -the natural drama of the ground squirrel sequence alone makes it worth buying. There is some truly worthwhile outdoor scenery of unspoiled wilderness, a nostalgically quaint folksy score by Don Peake and a lot of risible narration to stitch it together.
Where's Bigfoot? Well, the narration TALKS about him in nearly every scene, so that you almost forget that 80% of the film has nothing whatever to do with Bigfoot. The remaining 20% presents several CLEARLY fake footprints, several admittedly hoaxed photographs and a few minutes of the aforementioned faked footage.
The bottom line is that while the DVD is worth buying for the vintage scenery shown (an excellent investment for nostalgia buffs), don't expect any sort of real Bigfoot documentary or even a serious examination of evidence.
