What happens

Bigfoot is a 1970 independently made American low budget science fiction film, produced by Anthony Cardoza and directed by Robert F. Slatzer. The film stars John Carradine, Chris Mitchum, Joi Lansing, Ken Maynard, Doodles Weaver, and Lindsay Crosby. This exploitation film attempts to transform the Pacific Northwest Sasquatch man-beast into an old-fashioned movie monster, known as King Kong (as a quote on the original film poster proudly trumpets). A remake using the same title, Bigfoot, was made for and shown on basic cable's SyFy Channel in 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
