Capture of Bigfoot (1979)

Why do all Bigfoot movies from the 1970s have bad sensitive folk music ballads for their theme songs? Just another mystery for Bigfoot fans...

Two trappers capture a baby Bigfoot and are taking it back into town when mama Bigfoot comes calling. The two men are employed by local businessman and lunatic, Mr. Olsen, who is obsessed with having his own Bigfoot so he can make a fortune using the creature as a tourist attraction.

Olsen sends more trappers to look for the poor critter and havoc ensues. Local Ranger Steve Garrett tries to protect the creature, his girlfriends son (who is out roaming around in little Bigfoot country), and the town from Olsen and his brigade of Bigfoot inciting hunters.

The Bigfoot creature looks more like a yeti than the dark haired North American Bigfoot usually depicted in films, what with it's white fur and bad haircut. Like many 1970s Bigfoot films, there is almost no Bigfoot action.
