Legend of Bigfoot (1976)



Not one of the better Bigfoot documentaries. Supposedly filmed over a ten year period, it's mostly a wildlife film by hunter/tracker Ivan Marx who narrates. He talks and talks and talks and speaks like he's talking to a young child. We finally do see shots of some Bigfoots, although even Bigfoot believers regard them as fake. But at least there was a payoff.

Oh, and be sure to watch the closing credits. There's a surprise.

Fake documentaries are so easy to make. Just show a few interviews with eyewitnesses and experts. The more amateurish the more convincing they are. Kind of like a guy I knew from Alabama who was convinced the Pascagoula alien abduction was real because people there were too dumb to have made it up. (He said it, not me.)
