Bigfoot or Bust

If you ever wondered what it would look like if your grandmother and her friends from the nursing home fought a man in a horrible Halloween Bigfoot costume, you just hit the jack pot. Now if you also wanted to see those grandmas exploited , congrats, you just hit double jack pot. Remember when movies took talent and craft? Heck with that, now just rent a crappy camera and a pathetic costume and start shooting. Who cares, right? That should have been the name of the movie. "Screw it, this dumpster fire is probably someone's fetish. " , someone producer probably said. Also, why do these IMDb reviews have to be so long now?

I commend the producers of this flick for giving senior citizens starring acting roles. However, please not in bikinis and daisy dukes.

Go back and watch "The Man Show." Much better girls on trampolines...

If you've seen most of Jim Wynorski's movies, then you should have an idea of what to expect with "Bigfoot or Bust". Specifically, it depicts multiple groups of big-breasted gals in search of a Sasquatch. The movie makes no pretense about what it is. There's nothing particularly memorable about the movie, unless you count cleavage as memorable. My all-time favorite of Wynorski's movies remains 1986's "Chopping Mall", which introduced me to his work (I happened to come across it in my neighborhood video store in summer 2001; people who only knew Blockbuster had no idea what they missed by not going to neighborhood video stores).

Anyway, little more than an excuse to show off buxom babes. A totally silly movie.

I rarely review anything online, but clearly IMDb is in need of an opinion from someone who actually enjoys this type of material.

Jim Wynorski still has it. Perhaps "casual viewers" may not know what they've got themselves into, but for fans of his work, this one is a real treat. It's chock full of hilarious one-liners and perfect comedic timing. Seeing these actresses continue to appear in his films today (especially with a sense of self-awareness) warms my heart. They are so much fun to watch and have genuine chemistry together. From the cut-aways, to the montages, to the cameo from the Director himself, this felt like a classic Wynorski flick in every sense and I'm glad that he's still doing what he does best. I haven't laughed this much in a long time and recommend this film to fans of his early 90s material.

This was a bust alright.

Of course, when I sat down to watch the 2022 comedy "Bigfoot or Bust", I wasn't really harboring much of any hopes or expectations to the movie. I mean, just look at the catch phrase on the movie's cover/poster; "the breast bigfoot movie ever made!". If that isn't an indicator of bad taste, then I don't know what is.

But I still opted to watch "Bigfoot or Bust", on the account that it might possibly actually be a comedy worth watching, or at least a movie so bad that it becomes enjoyable to watch. But that was not the case in either instances. Writer and director Jim Wynorski delivered one of the most infantile and ridiculous movies I have ever sat down to watch. And believe you me, I have seen my share of dubious movies. But "Bigfoot or Bust" definitely is top contender for being one of the worst movies I have suffered through.

The storyline is essentially non-existing, unless you consider a handful of mature, scantily clad women with toy guys prowling the wilderness to track a guy in a costume that must have been bought off of Wish as being entertainment. That hardly constituted being enjoyable entertainment for me, so this movie was a massive swing and a miss. Especially since it was hardly more than just having the mature women doing random dancing, jumping on a trampoline, splashing water and such on themselves throughout the course of the movie. Not only was it embarrassing to witness, but it was also just a waste of film and time.

As for the acting performances in the movie, well, let's just say that you shouldn't be betting your hard-earned money on this.

Sure, I wasn't expecting much in terms of a proper creature in the movie, but a costume so horrible fake and seeming like something imported from the Wish shopping page, was just laughable beyond belief. It was so ridiculously bad to witness.

The positive thing about "Bigfoot or Bust" is that it definitely looked like the cast and film crew were having fun filming and participating in this hideous thing of a movie.

My rating of "Bigfoot or Bust" lands on a one out of ten stars. And this is definitely not something I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. It is just unfathomable to comprehend how something like this ever gets to see the light of day.
