The Six Million Dollar Man - The Secret of Bigfoot (Episode Review)
The town is pronounced fowk,as in out or how.This is one of the best low budget movies ever made.
Thank you mannn❤❤
I saw this Movie 🎥. When it out💕❣️‼️💋
Approximate mid seventies, I watched this movie as a young kid. I was mesmerized by the unique plot. It was one of those movies no one viewed. Made worse, my attempt to brag about this movie without a title and proof made me look foolish. Finally got the title and proof. That only took about 50 years! Now I’m going to watch the movie.
I read it when I was 8. I probably shouldnt have
🌌🚀 2024.
xxxxx There's no "the" in the title of this film. It's: "Panic In Year Zero." That's okay, though, it's a common mistake. Two obscure facts about this movie. First, supposedly it failed at the box office because it came out around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. It didn't really gain any popularity until they began showing it on late night television a decade after it came out. Second, it was attacked by critics for painting an optimistic picture of survival after a nuclear exchange. Even in 1962 the anti-nuclear lobby was pushing the concept that nobody could survive a nuclear war, and even those few who did escape death initially, would find themselves in a world not worth living in.That's not true, of course, but that's the scenario they've kept pushing to this very day. People that fall for that argument need to investigate what the Chinese and Swiss think about the matter. I've had this movie in my DVD collection for years. It's an example of why I own over a thousand title's in the first place, and why I don't put much faith in streaming services. The film paints an unflattering picture of capitalism. It's subtle, but it's there. I'm not sure what message the screenwriter was trying to convey. Perhaps it was unconscious on his part, but if you weave certain scenes together, capitalism takes a hit! Personally, I think this was Frankie Avalon's finest role. Also, the rumor is that Jean Hagan came out of retirement as a favor to Ray Milland to play the mother. Some casual viewers find it hard to believe this is the same person who played the ditzy, but vicious silent film star in the comedy, "Singing In The Rain." (Spoiler Alert) The whole storyline concerning the captive farm girl's life as a sexual slave was unusually graphic for it's time. The murder of the hardware store owner and his wife, and the rape of the family's daughter, was also startling for such a low budget, mainstream film. "Panic In Year Zero" has long been one of my favorite movies, and might be one of the few stories that deals optimistically with the aftermath of nuclear war. The only other story I can think of that does so, is Pat Frank's novel "Alas Babylon." Finally, I like the music, which I consider a form of "hard" jazz. Despite it's silly title, it's a solid, well told story. On my personal rating scale, I give this low budget thriller an 8.9 out of 10. I highly recommend it!
My bad on the pronunciation of the title. Sometimes when you're recording it's easier to go with it than it is to stop and start over. Good insights on the film. It's one I've always liked and not enough people know about it.
I'm 57 & agree w/your assessment. I'm trying to dump Peacock, & am bingeing $6M eps I missed as a boy (we didn't get ABC). Bigfoot V was obvious that the series would be canceled b/c it has no magic. It's a guy in a suit! The Secret of Bigfoot, impressed everyone when it aired Sunday night back in the day; The Return Of was still good, but a recent rewatch showed it wasn't as good. Still, to a kid this was prime rib! Thanks for the memories! :-)
It creeps the audience out to have seen the characters commit this awful murder. Sets uneasiness
Agreed. Hitchcock was right to structure it the way he did.
This movie scared the crap out of me as a kid! 😂
Movies like this were scarier back then. The spiders were real.
@@ebeybooks Yup.
Great little video.
Love this monster
One of my favorites since I first saw it in the 60s. Though I didn’t notice or understand religious aspect of it until I was in my late 20s
It's definitely an interesting one.
If only Dragon were longer like Schindler's List. (I can't get enough of that film!) Also, the only last character the film is missing but needs is to cast Tim Allen as Chuck Norris, based on how he looked in The Way of the Dragon.
That's interesting casting. Probably wouldn't be my first choice to play Chuck but I can kind of see it.
I had a favorite monster movie show and host growing up. It was called "Nightmare Theater" and was hosted by "The Count", who was a send up of Dracula, played by Joe Towey. It ran for about 15 years. Unfortunately almost all of it has been destroyed and I've only found one little 2 minute segment to be left in existence.
That's too bad that they didn't preserve it. Good memories, I'm sure.
No one seems to talk about the jazz musician, oliver nelson providing awesome background music in the first 2 seasons of the series, as well as creating that iconic theme.
Great insight. I would love to talk about music more here but RUclips hits you with copyright claims when you play audio clips and I would want to play a sample as part of the discussion. Bummer too because I love film/television scores.
One of my favorite episodes, I always love the crossover stories with Steve and Jaime and this one is so entertaining with an almost throw everything but the kitchen sink approach to it.
It's a lot of fun. I think it's interesting how the whole crossover / shared universe thing is considered to be a new idea, but it's been going on for years.
Appreciate how they didn't just re-do what the first movie did. This sequel added to the lore without it feeling forced. Love how they had to change tactics and adapt to the new threat. Great sequel!
Totally agree. They kept it fresh while still honoring the spirt of the first one, which is hard to do.
The fact that this was a straight to video film is a shame the film could have done really good in theater. However shrinker's and the graboid lifestyle as a whole is one of the most fascinating and Gnarly kind of monster evolutions there is. Ii love the fact that they introduced a new interesting problem for the main characters in each of the movies when it comes to the monsters It really fleshes out what these really cool monsters. looking forward to your entire series breakdown on this George !
Now that I've finished my Planet of the Apes run, this could be my new ongoing franchise.
awesome video man keep it up
Thanks! That's the plan.
Good t v. Good days . Not like now. Tv is crap . Life is a night mare. Murders, stabbings, drugs and money greed. Horrid . So sad😢❤
I'm glad we can revisit these classics whenever we want to. If the new stuff isn't cutting it, there's always plenty of oldies but goodies to choose from.
@@ebeybooks yes. But it makes me feel sad when I watch sum of them as I know we all have to age but it was better times then . Tho people never had much money, people.mkre.friendly. nostalgia and melancholy for me. Im my late 60s. 👍
Looking forward to watching and critiquing the movie
It's an oldie but a goodie.
Can't seem to find tv movie. Where he crashes, I've seen all the 99 series though.
The series is streaming on the Peacock app. They have the original TV pilot movie there under the title "The Moon and the Desert parts 1 and 2". I just borrowed the season one DVD from the library and it's on there as the first thing on disk one.
@ebeybooks Thanks. Ive not got peacock. I might get dvd from library or even buy it. I'm interested in bit where he's running 60mph along fence posts.
Fightin Bigfoot! Hell yea!!
And it was glorious.
Sheesh he shoulda used a deloresn
If you don't have one handy, an ornate sled will do the trick.
Rod was hot actor
I love this franchise i really wish they made more of the tv show . Tremors 2 aftershock review?
It's on the list.
Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn't ya you bastard! :) Tremors! Hell yeah! Awesome movie, I love them all. Great review! Tremors 4 is my favorite of the sequels. Lots of fun, especially with how Michael Gross handled the character of Hiram Gummer. The soundtrack was awesome too.
I love this series. I remember enjoying 4 a lot, but I haven't watched it in a long time. In my memory, 3 was my favorite of the sequels. But I just watched 2 recently and was surprised by how well it held up. For a low budget, bacon-free, strait-to-video sequel, it's not too bad.
Fun fact. The Green Hornet is related to the Lone Ranger.
There's a lot of crime fighting talent in that family!
It was 1966 when he met old Filby !!!!!
Butnot Mr Ed. Wilberrrrrrr!!
@@gerry-p9x Correct.
Rod Taylor was great in the VIPs too.
I'm not familiar with that will. Will have to check it out.
I like this series and have been waiting for what seems like forever for an official DVD release loaded with special features, but I don't have much hope for it at this point. Nice that people can watch it on RUclips if they aren't familiar with the series or just want to watch it again.
I think it's a rights issue that hasn't gotten resolved. I was thinking about getting the series on DVD because I like physical media. I was bummed when I found that it wasn't available. You can't even stream it on Amazon. I was glad I at least found it on RUclips. Not the best quality but better than nothing.
The only good Rob Cohen movie.
I kind of like Dragonheart, which was his next one after this. But yeah, this is the only one of his that I own a copy of.
I have this book and it’s quite amazing what Robert Rodriguez did to make this movie! One of the greatest independent movies of all time!
Personally, I think that maybe Yvette Mimieux could possibly have used a waistlength wig to make her character of Weena look nearer to her own age because her own shoulderlength hair made her look nearer to thirty at minimum.
She killed her ski instructor in 70$. Called swede Savage
I just watch your review of the time machine and this review is the second one I have seen I really enjoying it
I going to review this film next and I really like and enjoy George pal the time machine
It's such a good movie and really holds up. The Morlocks are done so well.
Good luck.
R.I.P. William Tuttle the makeup artist.
Rod also was in Giant with Elizabeth Taylor & The Glass Bottom Boat with Doris Day.
It's been a long time since I saw Giant. I've always been fascinated with James Dean.
And the only mistakes was that director George Stevens had cast Dean as a ranch hand turned oil baron, and casting Rock Hudson as the rancher.
Thanks for the information on the leading ladies.
I will always love Thia movie it's a good classic
How true that is.
@@LindaCooper-i3f isn't that awesome movie
It was the best when I was younger
Same!
I loved all the movies and the series. Its still on the peacock network
The Bionic Woman is better
Billy Blackburn wore the Gorn costume for off-camera testing only. During filming of Arena, it was Bobby Clarke inside the Gorn suit.
Interesting detail. Thanks for sharing. I'll bet that suit was rough to wear in that setting.
Six Million Dollar Man Episode Bigfoot V was pretty Cool to see! Actually a Great Storyline but Couldn't understand why Apploy and his Crew would leave Bigfoot behind? Maybe if Shalon had awakened out of her near Deathlike Deep Sleep perhaps some more light could have been shined on things, At least the Space Explorer Hologram did go into some detail! Ted Cassidy was Pretty Cool in the Bigfoot Costume! Thank-You! For Sharing!
I feel like the winters wanted to bring Bigfoot back without the baggage of dealing with the other characters from the previous story. Still it was fun to get one me go with Ted Cassidy. Thanks for watching!
My older sister and I went to see it when we lived in Kalamazoo. We loved the movie! To this day its a good part of the series!
This one always stood out to me. It really gave Roddy McDowell a chance to shine. He was brilliant in it.
I saw escape from planet if the apes in Holland Michigan on my birthday as a teen
