Rex Linn agreed to act in the movie under the condition that he got to play the monster in one scene.
(at around 55 mins) Sheriff Halderman (Paul Gleason) is seen taking a sip from a mug with the quote "Don't mess with the bull". Paul Gleason's famous character of Principal Richard Vernon from El club de los cinco (1985) (and reprised in No es otra tonta película americana (2001)) has a line "Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns" as he's reprimanding John Bender (Judd Nelson).
This is Matt McCoy's second Bigfoot movie. A kinder, gentler Sasquatch was portrayed in 1994's Bigfoot: el último eslabón (1995).
