Yeti: The Giant of the 20th Century
Terencio

This movie deserves a sequel where the dog falls into an iceberg and wakes up several million years from now.

my final thoughts are "what the fuck did I just watch," which is really the ideal #Monsterdon experience, so I think this was a success. Did NOT expect all the Toronto content???

Thanks @Taweret for hosting as always! And @Cherizilla for the bingo card.

okay, so Yeti lives the rest of his days alone on a gradually shrinking ice sheet, the boy never speaks again but it's fine coz his dog came back from the dead after being spat upon by Yeti, and the girl's creepy creeper has been squashed by the nicest guy she's met. so, i guess everything's fine. great job everyone. thank you but please go away.

I think I missed the part where the big bad explained what his plan was... I'm not sure how framing the Yeti is going to help him do anything? Like I guess he wants to kidnap the Yeti for his own evil business, maybe? Or kill the Yeti and sell the body?

I dunno.

Apparenlty, the kid who played Herbie Honeycutt (Jim Sullivan) seems not to have appeared in another film.

So we have entered the car chase in the movie, where a convoy of goon-laden sports cars are trying to lure the Yeti to the top of the mountain, and the Yeti is yelling at them and smashing one car with a giant rock that he got from the giant rock store. Some of the goons run off a cliff and die because they were dumb.

The police are following, and the Smart Daughter is following too, on foot; she gets the police to give her a lift.

So the daughter, being the smartest character, realizes that this is all Yellow Jacket Man's fault and his goons kidnap her and kill her dog, the greatest crime in this movie.

Yellow Jacket Man is about to sexually assault her. Then the Yeti breaks down the wall to rescue her and her brother; the goons run away (taking the little brother), and we get a sad camera pan over the dying dog; the Yeti screams in mourning before leaving the building (which explodes).

@skatem at this point in Canada - 1977 - there was a weird- haired celebrity child singer named Rene Simard that I suspect they may have been channelling here with Herbie.

How to give your characters depth, Yeti-style

1) make your character a weirdo (he descends to a picnic via a helicopter carrying a ski lift
2) give your character a tragic flaw (e.g. greedy businessman willing to exploit sasquatches for fame and fortune)
3) give your character a sympathetic reaction (e.g. he feels bad when he friend dies because of his actions)

DID THEY JUST STAB THE DOG

C'mon back, yeti, we're going to need some more stomping, please and thanks.

proposition: death by Yeti toes is the writer's barely-disguised fetish in action, taken with the shot of those piggies in the beginning of the thawing sequence

The yeti woke up, killed an egghead, reconnected his breathing tubes and went back to sleep. Sounds plausible

The yeti, an enormous monster who can hold an entire adult woman and a child in the palm of his hand easily, somehow, inside a enclosed warehouse where he cannot stand up, while nearly passed out, went on a rampage and killed one guy, with no apparent damage to anything else in the entire building.

Uh-huh.

Yeti has had such a trying time. Rampaging through Toronto is very tiring work.

(For anyone wondering why these two goons are wandering through a field of parked construction vehicles, that part is completely plausible. Toronto's like that.)

MONSTER SQUASH! ...or not..? Mysteriously spared?? Oh, nope, grabbed between two toes and then squished murderously, I think? This is a bit hard to follow.

After murdering the Doctor, the sleezy goons call more sleezy goons; I thought this was to smuggle the Yeti away but it seems like it was to set another evil plot in motion. When the cops and the daughter arrive, they cannily leave one goon behind to pretend he was knocked unconscious by the Yeti, and that the Yeti killed the Fourth Doctor.

The Yeti looks like he’s just lost, in overly hairy overalls.

The Yeti should teabag one of those smashed open windows.

Yeti is fine up until the Paparazzi show up. That actually tracks.

Finally, a movie showing an elevator getting its cable rigging messed up *and acknowledging the presence of rail brakes*!!

Huge points to Yeti for that detail! Thank you, Yeti. Theti.

Ha - not getting very far with the plot development yet, but they're giving their bluescreen (precursor to green-screen chroma-key) a good workout.

You’ll definitely go into orbit once you see the Yeti Hog Dong. LOL. yay! We have Disco!

After eating the fish, the Yeti offers a fish skeleton to the Smart Daughter; this makes her mad because she says that all men are the same; I guess her last boyfriend gave her a giant fish skeleton or something. Anyway, she is still very horny for the giant Yeti.

The adult search party appears to chaperone this encounter, and they give the Yeti some spray medicine to heal his gunshot wound. He is scared but trusts the children enough for them to use a healing item on him.

"He's mistaken you for his children, maybe you for his mate."

"You might have some duties to perform!"

WHAT

Red flag there, sir.

The Yeti knows, it’s definitely Maybelline.
