Have you ever seen the classic 1987 film "Harry and the Hendersons"? If not, you're missing out on a heartwarming and comedic tale about a family who discovers and befriends a Sasquatch. Recently, I came across a video on YouTube that takes a closer look at this beloved movie.
The video, posted by the YouTube channel Back to the Flix, is a review of "Harry and the Hendersons". The reviewer takes us on a trip down memory lane and shares their thoughts on the film's impact on their generation. They highlight the themes of kindness, understanding, and family bonds that are illustrated through the relationship between the Henderson family and Harry, the Sasquatch.
As a Bigfoot enthusiast, I was excited to see the film's portrayal of Sasquatch in a positive and intelligent light. The reviewer points out the care and attention to detail that went into creating Harry, from the practical effects used to bring the character to life to the full range of motion in his facial expressions.
One interesting fact that the reviewer shares is that the one and only Steven Spielberg served as an unaccredited executive producer on this project. Rick Baker, known for his work on the "Predator" movie, provided the makeup and creature designs for Harry. And the 7'2" tall Kevin Peter Hall, who also played the predator in the original "Predator" movie, starred as Harry.
Overall, the reviewer gives the film a positive rating and encourages viewers to check it out if they haven't already. I appreciated the positive portrayal of Sasquatch in this film and the themes of kindness and understanding that it promotes.
If you're interested in watching the video, you can find it on the Back to the Flix YouTube channel. And as always, remember to keep an open mind and an open heart when it comes to the existence of Bigfoot.
