how do they know what a normal yeti heartbeat looks like? #monsterdon

The defrosting sequence is kinda nice to watch, though. A bit satisfying.

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfTheTwentiethCentury1977

I keep expecting the Yeti to be Matt Berry.

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfThe20thCentury

"the air up there's particularly full of ozone, ultraviolet rays..."

sir. sir. those are exactly the opposite of each other.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the professor talks like he’s chewing the words. It’s such an unusual mouth movement.

Warm him up by pouring hot maple syrup on him, you hosers. #Monsterdon

Yup this music.. shit about to jump off!

#Monsterdon

They’re also carrying enough water to defrost this giant popsicle of the 20th century?

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfTheTwentiethCentury1977

Do Yeti's know about shrinkage? #Monsterdon #Yeti1977

#monsterdon ohohoho, we really panned down didn't we?😏

So far it's all been about thawing

#monsterdon

I'm pretty sure I've heard this score on another movie, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

#Monsterdon

Did we just see some frozen yeti nuggs? #Monsterdon

Something ozone blah blah atmospheric pressure

#monsterdon

thank god they made the kid gay otherwise i would have no one to relate to in this movie except the yeti #monsterdon

Now he looks like a frosted shroud of Turin. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977

I feel like anyone trying to write pseudoscience bullshit should be required to pass 5th grade science class. #monsterdon

He's losing all of his sugar frosting! He'll be all soggy in milk now!

#monsterdon #yeti1977

@LK_877 One of our most memorable vacations definitely #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦍 🌨️ 🗓️ 😱

I need to learn to talk like these movie professors that's how i can finally be taken seriously as a scholar i guess

over 9000
#monsterdon

ok so a few of these guys do have hats but there's also a buddy in short sleeves so

#monsterdon

"Then we'll pour vinegar in his head and get a lovely mock volcanic eruption!"

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

Can you fly a helicopter safely at 10k feet

#monsterdon

Y'all,

I don't think he's a real scientist.

#monsterdon #yeti1977

🦖#MONSTERDON FURRY TRIVIA 🎞️

The late 70s was a peak time for monster movies. Dino de Laurentiis cashed in with audiences from a low budget King Kong movie. So other studios piled in.

From South Korea came 3D A*P*E
Britain and West German collaborated on a King Kong spoof Queen Kong.
Hong Kong released The Peking Man (Quentin Tarantino would show this in 1980 in the US as Goliathon.)
The Italians, experts in this kind of movie exploitation were late getting out Yeti.

#Yeti #Yeti1977

DO NOTHING TO EXCITE HIM. he says with a megaphone. #monsterdon

"I'll enrich his oxygen"

Oh yeah, baby, let's hotbox this ape #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon a lot of love for the center of the rotor assembly. Camera just dwells on it.

"The blood is thawing, Professor. As we go up the air gets warmer, right?"

#monsterdon

I'm going to be looking for all the "HH" stickers they slapped on stuff.

#Monsterdon #Yeti1977

[whistles the MASH theme]

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

The suspense is KILLING me! (to sleep). #monsterdon

I didn’t happen to notice if Hunnicut Hams was a part of Hunnicut Industries, but that’s OK. His acting makes up the difference. #monsterdon

FLY YETI FLY

#Monsterdon

Countdown to yeti continuing to be frozen

#Monsterdon

I wonder what burning Yeti hair smells like? #Monsterdon

Good thing they got one of the Pacific Rim helicopters, carrying 500 tons each #monsterdon

#monsterdon The Yeti is in a London phone booth!

the kid's first words will be "YETI!" #monsterdon

you damn hippie scientists freeing the yeti and giving them gender and tiktok will kill us all #monsterdon

"Philosophy has no place in science". Famous last words. #Monsterdon #yeti1977

"This time it's got to be done right!"

Was there a last time? Was there a yeti that they torched with the flamethrowers by accident?

#Monsterdon

Are those Canadian flags there to establish that this is in fact Canada and not Italy?

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfTheTwentiethCentury1977

@allanb I’d say so. #Monsterdon

That helicopter is a toy, isn't it?

Bless

#monsterdon

what is with everyone's clothes tho

#Monsterdon

shame how since they were literally shooting on location of a yeti unthawing they had to pipe in all the dialog later while the actors were almost asleep
#monsterdon

"...he lost his voice in that plane crash where our mother and father died."
"Oh, and also that means you can just pay him scale."
"Yeah, that too."

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfThe20thCentury

#monsterdon Crane lifts giant phallic snow sculpture up as flute and wah-wah-guitar music start playing. Okay, it _is_ a porno.

@jonny It's serious disrobing music. #monsterdon

@LK_877 No bigfoots, no bears. I saw lots of eagles and whales though #monsterdon

"it looks like nature preserved the yeti in a perfect state"

"and then we s'moresd him"

#monsterdon

It’s the normal info dump, standing right in the middle of the road #Monsterdon

i’m imagining this is a long lost canadian national film board documentary

#monsterdon

Sir.

His cell walls sir.

They are mush, sir.

He is a frozen tomato, sir.

#monsterdon #yeti1977

Temu Robert Redford isn't fooling anybody.

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

Prominent Canadian flag in the background. Go Canada!
#Monsterdon

That's not a Yeti, that's an over sized candle.
#Monsterdon #Yeti

Oh. Oh my. I don’t think I’m ok. I feel dizzy. #Monsterdon

Definitely checking off "weirdly upbeat music" on the bingo card even if it is more weird than upbeat

#Monsterdon

Ice Melting Jazz!

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfThe20thCentury

#Monsterdon it can’t leak to the press! So it immediately leaks to the press. Morgan is a foreshadowed Zuck. LOL.

ANOTHER BANGER SOUNDTRACK FROM #monsterdon

And then "Zowie!"

#monsterdon

Yay - dial telephones.

#monsterdon

No kid, go back to sleep. You can still avoid being in this film if you try. #Monsterdon

Ah, the legendary 'Phone Booth' cage...

#monsterdon

uh wait what were they erecting there?

#Monsterdon

Dude's got a direct line to Springsteen. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977

#monsterdon ooo you're right that is some weird sexy music

Tired: Oil companies are destroying the ice caps for profit
Wired: Oil companies are destroying the ice caps to find Yetis
#monsterdon

The scientist is all "Shut the eff up, HH, you're out of your element!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

This is how a scientist defrosts a one of a kind specimen.

#monsterdon zowie!

@Taweret I keep hearing Honeydew and ngl it's fucking my brain up

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Morgan needs to have a yogurt enema and it’s not going to be voluntary. Someone page WK Kellogg.

#Monsterdon Herbet Honeypot

Is that Tom Baker? #Monsterdon

The dubbing is weird. It looks like they were switching from Italian to English and back in the middle of sentences.

#monsterdon

Why are the tie choices all horrendous? #Monsterdon

The literal yes man has a cool tie, at least

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

"Take a tranquilizer and go to bed" is my new motto. #monsterdon

Herbert Honeycutt

#Monsterdon

Crazy rich guy releasing an ancient giant from ice, brings his two grandchildren to the site. Seems familiar.

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

"Take a tranquilizer and go to bed."

#monsterdon

take a tranquilizer and go to bed. HA! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon nooo don't activate the yeti

Do wealthy Canadian eccentrics all wear bowties?

#monsterdon

@iris Yeah you're supposed to sous vide yeti

#Monsterdon

JOHN BIGFEETY YOU ARE THE COLDEST MAN I EVER KNOW!

#monsterdon #Yeti1977

Hi office is very shiny. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977

You know what's not known for it's precision? Flame throwers. #monsterdon

"...it's a YayTee, Morgan"

#Monsterdon #YetiGiantOfThe20thCentury

I dunno are FLAMETHROWERS the most surgically precise tools for this job? #Monsterdon

@Lazarou She reminds me of Veruca Salt #monsterdon #

#monsterdon So many bold hat choices.

#monsterdon she has really pretty hair

This Bumble didn't bounce #monsterdon

@brooke I suppose to be fair they are actually firing the flamethrowers

#Monsterdon
