In North Wisconsin way back in the hills, lived a Bigfoot and he had him a kid. He attacked some hunters when the sun went down but one survived and made it back into town. Mighty mighty freezing, Bigfoot kept on teasing, they called him White Lightening.Policemen, Townsfolk, the mine owner too, searching for the place where he rested his big foot. They were looking trying to hook him but Bigfoot kept on wookie-ing - White Lightening.Bill Rebane's the guy who made this stew, of Bigfoot and his little kid too. I took one glimpse and then I knew, as my eyes glazed over and my face turned blue. Low budget madness, Buck Flowers is a bad arse – Whew – White Lightning.Policeman, little kids, the mine owner too, catching that Bigfoot and slinging him in a zoo. They were looking trying to hook him but Bigfoot kept on cooking – White Lightening.Well the mine owner came and he said I'm mighty tough. I think I want to catch that powerful fud. He went real crazy when he took Bigfoot down and I heard him laughing through out the town. Might mighty pleasin' his knackers must be freezin' -they call him - White Lightening.Well the policeman, townsfolk, mine owner too. Getting all killed trying to catch Bigfoot. It's not as good as Rana but it's better than Twister's. White Lightning.

As a child of the 60's,who grew up in the 70's(born in 66),this film took me back to my childhood. As a lifetime sasquatch enthusiast,these movies were the rage back in the day. Legend of Boggy Creek,Sasquatch:The Legend of Bigfoot,Curse of Bigfoot and many others,along with several quality documentaries on the subject,sparked interest to many youngsters back in the day and many of us still are fascinated by these films and the subject itself. As for the film,it is a low grade B flick but you can see that they at least gave a good effort. I thoroughly enjoyed the film,real snow,real cold and some very good casting for a low budget flick make this film a camp classic,a real gem to those who like these types of movies. Make a nice pot of coffee,kick back and watch this flick at about 3am on a cold winter night..it fits to a tee. Well,say what you want about Rebane but he made some decent films on a shoestring budget. Low budget films force the producers and directors to use their creativity and that is long lost on todays directors who just throw silly CGI scenes in and forget about what makes a movie good. This little gem is OK by me. If you like 60's and 70's low budget films or if you just grew up in the 70's and remember the Bigfoot craze,then you will enjoy this one as it will take you back to better times. Ignore the bad reviews,as they are written by people who don't know how to enjoy this type of movie.

When I bought this DVD (also containing "The Alpha Incident") I was hoping for some good campy sci-fi. I was not disappointed with "Capture of Bigfoot". It had a few moments of really nice photography, filmed in some snowy northern area. I appreciated the fact that it was real snow in real cold (plumes of car/truck exhaust and lots of steaming breath as people talked). Any high budget film would have created plastic snow on a set. The only downsides for me were that 1 - almost anybody could have done a better voice for the creature, and 2 - the Olson character was unbelievably mean, but in the movie's defense, he was supposed to be as mad as Ahab. But these did not detract too much from the movie for me.Also, I disagree with all those who liked "The Alpha Incident" better. For me, this film was much more enjoyable.

Its a sin how these things are made, but then again we wouldn't get to see the best "Dummy scene" ever filmed. Ahhh the beauty of low budget Bigfoot flicks, you lean to see the beauty the more you watch them, thats if your brain doesn't melt first. As I said before, this has the best dummy scene ever! Words cant express it, you have to see it for yourself. Wonderful lines such as "Smells like decain flesh", "Thems human..."(You will know this one when you see it) The creature makes a Blah, Blah! sound and the scene where the baby gets shot will make you cry(with laughter) you will be rewinding it. Has a car chase, snowmobile chase, a Bigfoot folk song as well as a Disco song. It dosn't end there, while watching the credits a friend noticed "Wardrobe provided by K-Mart". You ask, how could you even get as far as the credits and then watch them? I could only explain this as a sort of shock to the brain, you are so mentally exhausted you cant move and also I guess you have to know who was behind the mess. All that being said, this is a must see especially if you want to punish yourself mentally. Its a keeper!
