- This week in the Video Dungeon we are stomping through the Pacific Northwest in search of the legendary Bigfoot! Featuring John Lithgow as George Henderson, Melinda Dillon as Nancy Henderson, and Kevin Peter Hall as the lovable Harry, this film delivers Sasquatch-sized laughs and heartwarming family moments. Tim Nugent from Tapes from the Crypt joins us to wax about illegal cable boxes, expired cookies, the Scholastic Book Fair, and growing up watching that big lovable skunk ape! With so many movies about the big guy spreading across different genres, we're breaking it down to see if this really is the best Bigfoot movie. So, grab a Filet-O-Fish, hide your 15th birthday corsage, and bury your taxidermy because Harry's moving in!

Harry and the Hendersons is a 1987 American fantasy comedy film directed and produced by William Dear and starring Don Ameche, David Suchet, Margaret Langrick, Joshua Rudoy, Lainie Kazan, and Kevin Peter Hall. Steven Spielberg served as its uncredited executive producer, while Rick Baker provided the makeup and the creature designs for Harry. The film tells the story of a Seattle family's encounter with the cryptozoological creature Bigfoot, partially inspired by the numerous claims of sightings in the Pacific Northwest, California, and other parts of both the United States and Canada over three centuries.

35:37 fun fact related to Chewbacca, while they were filming the Endor scenes for Return of the Jedi the director told Peter Mayhew not to wander off in the forest because hunters might think he’s Bigfoot.
I loved the Harry and the Henderson movie, but really loved the TV show. I spent more time watching the show. Wish I could watch it again.
Primal rage, abominable, exists and big legend are good Bigfoot movies
Damn, I ❤ Harry and the Hendersons... I might have to watch that tonight (it's been a hot minute).
I was born in 1980 so my entire childhood i watched movies on HBO and Harry and the Hendersons was on alot. Even had VHS recording tapes that had the movie on it along with Muppets Take Manhattan, Elm Street 2 and Innerspace eand Star Wars movies etc
Freakin love "Harry and the Hendersons", can't wait for the episode 🤘. Also I wish that Shout Factory or another company would get distribution rights to the "Harry and the Hendersons" tv show, I would love to have a dvd or bluray set of that show.
There's an amazing roadside attraction all about Harry and the Henderson's in Washington State! I stop by everytime I pass through on my way to the camp grounds in the summer! I am looking forward to this review!
We gotta visit!
Fun fact: The name, Jacque LaFleur, is a nod to Montreal Canadiens Hockey Legends Jacques Plante and Guy LaFleur!
It aired on HBO a lot. The SWAT team running past the Space Needle blew my mind because it was the first movie I saw filmed in my home city.
Funny, we know about Harry, and Predator, but the actor was a cop boyfriend for one of the characters in a show called 227. (He was in drag in one episode)
The tall actor who played Harry, Kevin Peter Hall 1955-1991, also played the extraterrestrial warrior in the first two PREDATOR movies.
Yeah RIP and don't forget he plays the Joker's goon Batman fights in the end of Batman (1989).
He sure did! We talk about Kevin in our Monster in the Closet and Predator 2 episodes.
@@thomaslozano4135that’s Clive Curtis, not Kevin Peter Hall!
@@RobbieSkyeHamilton Oh my bad. I could of swore that was him. huh.
Kevin Peter Hall played another alien that hunted humans in a film called Without Warning - which is free to watch on RUclips
Best movie review channel hands down.
🙏💚📼
I’m just now watching this as I type this, I love this movie!
I saw it in elementary school, when he was trying to make him leave so he’ll be safe so he had to be mean to him, I cried.
This movie was emotional and I freakin’ love John Lithgow!
I enjoyed the tv show too.
I’m going to enjoy this review.
You guys are awesome.
When Lithgow's dad/boss altered the face of the Harry artwork to look more menacing, instantly i thought of "Fluffy" from Creepshow. So does this mean "the Crate" was anti-bigfoot propaganda? no, but Harry & Fluffy do have similar face structure though.
Technically Fluffy is a Yeti, but much different than the one Meatloaf was after. Maybe being locked in a crate and forgotten under the stairs for 100 years turned Fluffy into a ravenous monster 😂
@@MovieDumpster Fluffy was probably a really gentle creature before going in the box, he went feral over time like the wall people in "the People under the Stairs" 😆
Love this movie...heck I loved the TV show.
Sean and Joe another great video! You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work boys!!!
I've got the urge to like this video!
Started listening for the old school horror but love that you guys have been branching out. Keep up the great work fellas!
We like to run the gamut. Glad you’re enjoying these cuts, too! 🙏💚📼
Really excited to hear what you have to say about this one.
the hamburger / milkshake throwing scene makes me hungry af everytime i watch it, great childhood memory flick
Yeah a classic growing up in my family.
Useless fact: LafFleur was played by my favorite British actor David Suchet. Best know as playing Agatha Christie's Poirot from 1989 - 2013 on BBC and PBS. He is also the terrorists in Executive Decision starting Kurt Russell
I don't know. Eduardo Sánchez's Exists is pretty good.
Yep, that’s a good one too!
Agreed with what Joe said in the beginning. Classic movie for me... Was in the rental rotation for years from the local mom and pop store and on TV as often as I could. It's been years since I've watched it but I absolutely need to watch it again. Glad you guys covered this one, loved it.
It's not like there's any competition lol, great movie, but literally every other squatch movie is either awful cheap horror or terrible kiddie movies
not having any of the toilet humor probably helped him keep the pg rating which made it super accessible though
Some years ago I was working at a museum and John Lithgow visited, on my day off of course.
imagine getting cross pounded in the dumpster
25:13 He also played Billy Mahoney, the kid who's constantly kicking Kiefer Sutherland's ass in Flatliners
Harry and the Hendersons taught me more about the importance of family than my step-father ever did 😂
There was another Bigfoot movie that came out in 1997 it is called Disney's Bigfoot
I loved this movie as a kid. I was 5 in 87, so I was the perfect age for it.
1:15:23 Cue "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione as he pulls his finger cover off.
Free Willy was filmed by an Australian director
I grew up more with the series than the movie, so I'm not even sure if I've watched the latter all the way through! Either way, Kevin Peter Hall was definitely a huge loss. I just looked him up on Wikipedia for the umpteenth time, and realized he was only 35 when he died. I'm 35 now, so it's hitting me harder than usual. Fuck HIV.
Thanks for doing this! One of my favorite family films and childhood movies in general. This was one of my taped off of HBO movies that I would constantly put on. All around great movie with so much heart. Definitely one of those creature lover gateway drug movies.
"You know what they say about a guy with big feet..." Fantastic episode, guys! All of the Bigfoot dong jokes had me rolling on the floor laughing. Seeing part of this on TV in the early 90s was one of those very early childhood memories I have. I was in my Grandma's house, watching the big wooden TV with my Uncle Dan. It might have been the same day I saw Romancing the Stone, specifically the part where the crocodile bites the bad guy's hand off!
I don't have anything ON my pancakes. That's because I make one big pancake then take one or two squares from a block of chocolate and fold them inside the pancake. I will also have a side of Banana or Strawberries if I have some on hand.
Harry and the Hendersons is one of my favourite Bigfoot movies of all time and actually one of my favourite childhood movies and all time when I was a kid and I still watching to this day having a DVD and it's still one of my favourite films of all time
I think we needed a Harry's dong mention counter.😂 Another fantastic episode guys!
Take a shot every time & let us know when you black out. 😆
What amazing gifts! The OG Godzilla v Mech Godzilla is my warm blanket big G movie, so that's a special gift right there for sure! A diorama of the final fight with King Caesar is on my list of dream brick builds.
I just found you guys, and can't wait to dive into your channel! Excellent!
We hope you enjoy your trip thru the dumpster, thanks for watching!! 💚📼
Seen this in the theater in 87. Love this film. It has that something special at the core of its story that works universally.
i dont think she played the wife in close encounters, pretty sure she was the mother of the little boy that they start the movie off with, she ends up meeting up with richard dreyfuss and they bond over their shared experience, at least if i remember correctly.
Yep! Our bad, couldn’t remember.
Yay
Last movie I can think of that sort of did the TV in a Store Front window thing was Cloverfield when they ran into the electronic store and the Epic shot of the creature on the news feed!
Great episode, I love Harry and the Hendersons. It was a favorite movie of mine when I was a kid
M. Emit Walsh made it 88 years, good run
I was hoping not that you guys can look into the free Willy franchise
do we know if obviously they don't show Harry one of the ways but did they add it into the makeup? lol
I believe mass theft has caused retailers to stop displaying things in the front window. Too easy for a smash and grab 😢
The art at the end looks super similar to the art in the Dino Riders cartoon that I had on VHS
I watch all of your stuff. Pumpkinhead and TCM TNG were my first to see. I would love to see y’all cover Bushwhacked. Being born in 88’ I was the movie and tv master like most not athletic kids in the 90s. The only ones on RUclips that would do the review justice is you guys. Also I’d like to know what you think about the movie Dark Harvest. Not at all related I know lol. The wife and I love it but only found a couple of people that talked about it. One being drumdums. Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much! 🙏💚📼 We actually covered Bushwhacked a while ago. We love it!
@@MovieDumpster oh wow you did. Nvm then lol. Would still like to know your thoughts on Dark Harvest.
It be funnier if it was Ernest that picked him up in the dumpster
Oh god, that’s a good visual! 😆
I worked in a gun store in 2020, the flood of newbies and the questions they asked was that scene with George in the store every day for months. I was tempted to do the bit about the "BIG, BIG guns and the BIG, BIG ammo," but figured no one would get it.
"Do you have any machine guns?"
"What's your biggest gun?"
"I just want something to scare them."
"Where are the sawed-off shotguns?"
"Do you have silver bullets?"
My favorite was, "Do you have anything illegal?"
🤣 all kidding aside, I would like to own silver bullets. -Joe
Just in case...
One of my favourite movies as a kid and now
Yes I think this is the best Bigfoot movie ever
I'm view number 69 🥳
Harry and the Hendersons ❤
Saw this in the movie theater
Love these guys!
Love you all for the little nemo love. It started as a comic strip from the 1900s. The movie you mentioned is a half japanese half american production. The game... well there is 2. An arcade cabnet thats kind of a beat em up thats fun, and the nes game which i beat but is quite honestly one of the hardest games i ever played... totally different game from the arcade one. Winsor mckay wrote little nemo and based him off his child. He also is basically an animation pioneer and you can find his little nemo animation and an animation he did where he interacts with a dinosaur on youtube and its neat. Its all silent movie like. Little nemo as a franchise doesn't get enough love, and either does Windsor McKay
That’s so awesome!
@MovieDumpster not as awesome as hearing it referenced in a video about Harry and the Hendersons 🤣
That guy also had a strip called the Welsch Rarebit. I housesat for someone on upstate newyork and they had a collection which i instantly recognized the art style from playing little nemo in the nes.
@damyuu23 he actually.. if I remember right his first strip was about this dude who would sneeze and break the panels
Feta cheese
Great episode. Thanks, doods
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
I'm glad you brought up the TV series, as in a way, that is what I'm more familiar with. Mainly because dad had an episode of the TV series on tape, this one with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Guessing was back when he was in WWF. Yeah, dad was the one who got me into wrestling, specially Undertaker since I was always into Horror Movies, and Taker felt like a Horror Movie Character come to life. So, the movie, I do have in my Streaming Library, bought it on sale a few years ago, mainly because I remember that TV episode, but not watched it yet. That's why I say I'm more familiar with the TV show. As for the trying stuff, if I had the money, I'll be more than willing to do a Jen Tries of the Urge, mostly because I like Surge, but the old cookies, no thanks. 😉😂🤣 Yeah, last gaming session, went ahead and finished off those podcasts posted prior to finding this channel. Now just a few more left of those posted since then. If all goes well, probably next gaming session, I'll be all caught up. Mainly saying that because I'm seeing how long Trilogy of Terror is, so that would most likely be the last one for tonight's gaming session. We'll see, maybe I might still squeeze in Dog Soldier, but if not, those last two should be doable next session I do believe. Thank you, really has been fun listening to these in the background.
Probably the best film in its genre and probably the funniest episode you guys have done!
I LOVE Harry and the Hendersons. It is the best looking Bigfoot imo. However, my favorite Bigfoot movie is a lot more recent - 2014’s Exists. Concepts like Bigfoot are perfect for the Found Footage genre, and it works well in Exists. Of course, Exists doesn’t have the talent of John Lithgow, so there’s an unfortunate thing.
To be clear, Harry and the Hendersons, as a family Bigfoot movie IS the best (are there more family oriented Bigfoot movies?). Harry and the Hendersons is easily my #2 favorite Bigfoot movie.
Im surprised Harry doesn't have a Neca figure
Never seen this... Gonna watch it ASAP!
Son of Bigfoot is a kids movie but me and my girl likes it
Don't forget the movie Sasquatch the legend of Bigfoot from 1977
There’s so many!
I love you guys but i hate this movie.
David Souchets character is loosely based on Rene Dahinden, look him up guys
Oh no way! Someone was saying he was based on a hockey player 😂
😎🫠🙏
Another dump from the Movie Dumpster? Great news to start the sunday morning! This movie kinda flew under the radar here in Portugal. I don't really remember seeing it air on TV and I only saw a single VHS copy on the videostore once. 🫤 Have a good week guys.
