I was 10 years old when this came out and I watched it the first time and have loved it ever since. This film really is that good. And not in the 80's sense. Well it's good for an 80's movie too but it would be great if it came out today in the same state as it was released originally. The only thing about that is if it were made today the sasquatch would be completely CGI, and that would strip away what makes this movie so good.
I am gonna make this short and sweet here. The story is quite good, the acting is quite good, the comedy relief is incredibly good and the special effects are spectacular. The effects really boil down to Harry's costume. It was made with all practical appliances and makeup and animatronics for the face. The actor who plays Harry is really that tall, well he may be 6 inches taller after all the head pieces are in place. He looks so much like a sasquatch that when you watch this picture you kinda forget that they do not really exist. The costume really is as good or better then all similar costumes made today without the help of CGI. His face shows real emotion and that you won't normally get with a mostly animatronic face.
This movie has to be seen by all and especially by a family. It is an outstanding film that should keep adults entertained as well as small children with the comedy that's in it.
