3.0 out of 5 stars Conclusion: Bigfoot is real., August 18, 1999

By 

Daisy Ghostly (Odense, Denmark) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ancient Mysteries: Bigfoot [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video includes the famous '67 Patterson/Gimlin film; that's one good thing about it. But it also includes (Big)footage of something you can't make out what is. It's filmed through trees and bushes, and it really could be just about anything. The two guys who apparently lensed it are interviewed, and they come across as being very used to the situation of being on camera. Their piece of film shows, and proves nothing. A staged field-search with Sasquatch investigator Peter Byrne is also shown. My comments make me sound like a disbeliever, I know, but in reality I firmly believe these creatures are real... I'm talking about Bigfoot now, ofcourse. The many sightings can't be lies, bears, or men in (black) suits all of them !. And then there's the featured Patterson/Gimlin film. -If it's a hoax, why hasn't Gimlin had enough fun, and said so yet ?. (As far as I know, he's not making any money on the film.) -Gimlin and his friend were just two very lucky men, that glorious day back in '67. The scientists who dismiss the film as a prank, will have to eat their unscientific words one fine day. -And I can't wait!. If it's such a clever hoax, surely there would have been dozens of (better) faked, and filmed "high tech" Bigfoots by now, don't you think ?. -And just why have we not seen that ?. -Naturally because no one could, and this object is authentic. Conclusion: Bigfoot is alive and well, walking this way, and living in your own backyard. Still, "serious science" doesn't seem to care. Go figure.

5.0 out of 5 stars The creature exists!, October 27, 2000

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Ancient Mysteries: Bigfoot [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a fanatic of Bigfoot lore and have several books on the subject. I jumped at the chance to buy this video, and it was an excellent production. Leonard Nimoy provides an excellent narrative that flows along well with the five parts in the documentary. There have been too many sightings all over the country for this to be a hoax. It is a primitive form of primate that has yet to be documented. New species are being discovered on a daily basis, even as crowded as our planet is becoming with human population. There is a lot of territory in the Pacific Northwest that man has never set foot on, and still plenty of room for a few thousand of these creatures to roam virtually undetected until one or more of them stumbles upon a camper, hiker or a hunter. This is probably the best documentary I have seen on the subject, covering the Indian lore of Bigfoot, looking at it from a scientific approach through Grover Krantz's analysis, seeing the Patterson-Gimlin film, and even the commercial aspects of Bigfoot in Willow Creek, California. A must see for the Bigfoot fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Bigfoot Documentary, January 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ancient Mysteries: Bigfoot [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is probably the best documentary on Bigfoot that has ever been done before. It almost treats it as if Bigfoot does exist. There is even one part in the film where they try to give an accurate analysis of the lifestyle of this creature. If you are, like me, into cryptozoology or a Bigfoot enthusiast, then this video is for you. I would recommend buying this video now because I truly believe Bigfoot will be "discovered" and proven to be an unknown species of ape that survived the Ice-Age and has remained hidden up until the Twenty-First Century.
