This film is definitely for those who want to see all the Big Foot/Yeti/Sasquatch films.Maybe it is also for a Lance Henriksen completest, if there is one. With over 180 appearances, you would have to watch a lot of cable to achieve that status.Certainly, seeing the Yellow Power Ranger, Cerina Vincent, was a treat. Or, maybe you wanted to see Little Opie's real father, Rance Howard. Let's not forget to mention former Miss Korea, Karen Kim, who was one of the robbers. 뜨거운 흡연!Sasquatch is played by Tiny Ron, whose 7 ft height has to really limit his roles. I wouldn't imagine he would ever star with Kristin Chenoweth.It tended to really drag in the second half, and there could have been a lot less talking, and a lot more Sasquatch action.

**SPOILERS** Overly talky and underly exciting Bigfoot movie with the elusive Bigfoot, played by the over seven foot tall ex-basketball player "Tiny" Ron, getting less time in the film the its both beginning and ending credits; About five minutes! In fact the film "Sasquatch Mountain" is more about a bank robbery gone wrong then a movie about the big footed 800 to 1,200 pound, and over seven foot tall, gorilla-like creature roaming the Great American North West.These crooks wearing gorilla or "Planet of the Apes" masks rob a local bank where in the crossfire with the police kill Officer Sirom Sauls, Bob Harter. As the crooks make their getaway they smash into, outside of town, Erin Price, Cerina Vincent, who just left her abusive boyfriend and is traveling to California to start a new life. With the cops lead by the ailing senior citizen Sheriff Zeff, Rance Howard, catching up with the bank robbers the only thing they have to bargain with is Eirn who was taken hostage during the confusion.At this point the movie doesn't seem to know where to go in that it's only some 15 to 20 minutes old and has some one hour of running time left to cover! So we have this Bigfoot show up out of nowhere uniting both cops and robbers in a mutual cause! Killing the Bigfoot before he ends up killing them! In fact we got to see the Bigfoot at the beginning of the film where local town resident Chase Jackson, Lance Henriksen, is fixing his van Chase's wife Sara, Kate Connors, who for some reason is videotaping the great "event" is killed by a runaway car! In Sara's videotape we see a shadowy Bigfoot running through the woods! It's later in the movie that Chase who had since become a hermit on Sasqatch Mountain not only tracks down the Bigfoot but the robbers as well.Both the cops and robbers are a mixed bag of nuts who get picked off by the Bigoot one at a time during the film. It seems that Bigfoot is only in the movie to spice it up when things start to get really boring with the endless philosophical exchanges between the two sides. One of my favorite exchanges, or meetings of the minds, is between the kidnapped Erin with the co-leader of the crooks who kidnapped her Kayla, Karen Kim. Talking about how they were abused by their ex-boyfriends Kayla shows Erin her battered and scared behind as if to prove to the unmarked and beautiful Erin that she by far got the worst, beating by her boyfriend, of it.The Bigfoot, or Tiny Ron, himself does what best he can with his part in the movie but is given so little time to do it, despite being the star, that he's relegated to nothing but a cameo role in the few scenes he has in the movie. The few surprises in the film that had mostly to do with the old and grizzled "White Hunter" & "Indian Scout" Eli Van Cleef, Tim Thomerson, came across so flat and uninteresting that when they hit you, after Ol' Eli was completely forgotten about, they had absolutely no effect at all!

I recently viewed this on the Sci-Fi Channel. The acting, the cinema-photography, direction, story-line....boy I have seldom seen a worse film. I suppose it would appeal to some die-hard fan into flesh-eating Sashquatches. The story line is lacking a lot. The whole film gives one the impression that it was meant to be a Television Series in the guise of 'Lost'. Non-captivating, messy and all over the place, the cinema-photography too! The strange, blurred camera angles do nothing for the film. If B-movies were still made, this would not have made that grade either. Because of the messy direction, it is very difficult to get captivated by this film.Sorry, but a poor film all round.

Not a terrific movie but being a Sasquatch/Bigfoot fanatic, I wonder why every movie about this subject needs to make this creature so vicious????? There are very few documented cases of a Sasquatch being vicious. I think a more original idea would be to have these stupid folks in the woods being hunted by something that they THINK is a Sasquatch only to have it be something else entirely. Perhaps make the Sasquatch a hero for a change. Let the creature slyly give the fools in the forest help without them knowing it until the end. The whole vicious Sasquatch thing is getting on my nerves. There has GOT to be a different angle on this subject.
