GamerTab That was an excellent one.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Bezenby In North Wisconsin way back in the hills, lived a Bigfoot and he had him a kid. He attacked some hunters when the sun went down but one survived and made it back into town. Mighty mighty freezing, Bigfoot kept on teasing, they called him White Lightening.Policemen, Townsfolk, the mine owner too, searching for the place where he rested his big foot. They were looking trying to hook him but Bigfoot kept on wookie-ing - White Lightening.Bill Rebane's the guy who made this stew, of Bigfoot and his little kid too. I took one glimpse and then I knew, as my eyes glazed over and my face turned blue. Low budget madness, Buck Flowers is a bad arse – Whew – White Lightning.Policeman, little kids, the mine owner too, catching that Bigfoot and slinging him in a zoo. They were looking trying to hook him but Bigfoot kept on cooking – White Lightening.Well the mine owner came and he said I'm mighty tough. I think I want to catch that powerful fud. He went real crazy when he took Bigfoot down and I heard him laughing through out the town. Might mighty pleasin' his knackers must be freezin' -they call him - White Lightening.Well the policeman, townsfolk, mine owner too. Getting all killed trying to catch Bigfoot. It's not as good as Rana but it's better than Twister's. White Lightning.

Scott_Mercer I had seen a bunch of Bill Rebane's other productions. Honestly, I thought that The Giant Spider Invasion, as campy as it was, was the only one worth watching, even as a goof, being helped immensely by some actual professional Hollywood actors. I really despised Invasion From Inner Earth and was not a fan of The Alpha Incident, which some people apparently liked.This one has some things going for it and almost rises to the level of a bad low budget indie monster movie that could have been released to a drive-in, and apparently it was.Sure, the Bigfoot costume and the beast's silly growling are not scary in the least, but hilarious. Sure, the goofy Sheriff and his lame celebrity impressions have the potential to be more annoying than entertaining. Sure, the evil businessman and grizzled old-timer Bigfoot hunter characters are lifted whole-cloth from Jaws. (This is certainly not the only low-budget monster movie from the later half of the 1970's to have ripped off Jaws.) Seems like Rebane even sprung for some production music that was much less bothersome this time out. (Could this movie actually have been scored?) He even has a car chase and explodes a car or two.Somehow, this stew of idiocy all adds up to a stupidly rollicking good time if you are in the right mindset and have quaffed a few adult beverages. So, turn off your brain and enjoy.Avoid any of Rebane's other epics, except maybe for The Giant Spider Invasion.

Woodyanders A pair of no-count crackers are savagely killed by Bigfoot after they abduct the enormous fellow's young 'un. A slimy businessman (an outrageously hammy turn by Richard Kennedy; the evil Nazi general in "Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS") who wants to snare the full-size galoot so he can cruelly exploit Sasquatch for his own selfish ends puts a hefty bounty on Bigfoot's head. A bunch of hillbilly hunters, eager to collect the plentiful reward money, venture into the woods to nab the huge hairy humanoid beast. It's obvious that this picture was a true labor of low-budget love for Wisconsin-based Do-It-Yourself auteur Bill Rebane, who not only directed, but also produced, co-wrote the script and even co-edited the feature as well. Additionally, Rebane cast his son Randolph as the baby Bigfoot! Actually, truth be told, Rebane does a pretty skillful job in every department: the performances are acceptable, the pace quick and steady, the photography proficient, the jazzed-up 70's cop show-style score seriously smokes, the philosophical country theme song likewise kicks, the wintry snow-covered landscapes look lovely, the Sasquatch attack scenes are staged with a reasonable amount of vigor, and we even got a nice dash of savory local folklore (the creatures are described as the "Legend of Aurak"). Heck, the sterling B-movie cast alone earns this pup a passing mark: the ubiquitous exploitation flick twosome of John Goff and George "Buck" Flower (who also appear together in Rebane's "The Alpha Incident"), "Blood Beach" 's Otis Young, Stafford ("The Zebra Force," "The Forrest") Morgan, and Buck's sweetly plump daughter Verkina. The Bigfoot family, who more closely resemble yetis with their white fur, teeth and claws, are a reliable source of unintentional amusement, for they prove to be more fat, clumsy and lumbering than George "Buck" Flower.

JaneDoe3 Hard to find but if you can get a copy, you're in for a real treat. Years before ANACONDA "terrorized" us with a giant rubber snake, there was THE CAPTURE OF BIGFOOT. If you like outrageously bad special effects and over-the-top acting, this one's for you. A real campy funfest.Some highlights: * The guy who plays the rich old miser (I believe his name in the film is "Olsen") recites his lines with such vigor and energy, each scene necessitates at least one press of the "rewind" button on your VCR remote. Watch for the scene where he interrogates a hospitalized employee of his. He shakes him vigourously, demanding he answer "Who was it? Was it Arak?!" * The special effects and sound effects are a hoot. Hard to do justice in words, they have to been seen to be appreciated. * And listen closely to the lyrics of the closing credits song. It sounds like a Harry Chapin record but the words must've been written by Ozzy Ozbourne: "You'll never find freedom, you'll only find lies/ You'll only find freedom the day that you die". Yikes. And just what the hell does that have to do with Bigfoot?Also recommended: STARCRASH (1979)
