Bigfoot
1970 · Movie · 84 min. · United States
Fast-talking Jasper B. Hawks (John Carradine) drives through a forest with his sidekick, Elmer Briggs (John Mitchum), while pilot Joi Landis (Joi Lansing) flies a single engine small aircraft over the same area. Joi’s engine conks out, so she parachutes to safety. Safely on the ground, she encounters a Bigfoot that has emerged from the woods to attack her. Laconic biker Rick (Christopher Mitchum) rolls into the woods with his girlfriend, Chris (Judy Jordan) who stumbles onto a Bigfoot burial ground, and then is also under attack by a Bigfoot. A skeptical Sheriff's department and the ranger's station are notified of the women's disappearance, but to no avail, with respect to the authorities actually making a search for the missing women. Biker Rick seeks help, but only Jasper believes his story; Jasper offers aid because he plans to capture a Bigfoot for freak show exhibition. Meanwhile, Peggy (Joy Wilkerson), is captured and tied up next to Joi. Jasper, Elmer, and Rick trek through the woods until they reach the Bigfoot lair. The creatures, it turns out, who have been guarding the women are just the children of a 200-foot male Bigfoot. He shows up and fights a giant bear and gassed by bikers,gets put in the freak show and escapes and goes on a rampage through town and returns back to his cave and gets blown up by Rick's dynamite-wielding bikers and Jasper says a line from King Kong and with all the creatures dead, everybody returns to their normal lives.
