The spectators have been running around the trailer park for a long time without getting anywhere fast.
LOL @ "look out, he's got a tree" and all that happened in that scene
With that big hair, he's a shoe in for a 70s metal band.
Sure bring your dog. Bring a picnic. Weβll make a day of it!

Yeti butt
You can't fool me. That cage is actually a 19U server cabinet. I've cut myself on those enough times to know.
RIP Giant Canadian Phone Booth
#Monsterdon the problem with running film backwards like that is that the smoke effect is kind of a giveaway.
YETI has every right to be upset
Mimmo Crao isn't wearing a costume. He was a hairy guy who was willing to do nude work, if the film required it.
This Professor is very much of the "Move fast and break things" variety, isn't he?
Oh don't blame it all on the handsome dog!
No one expected the creature would be extremely unnerved to wake up suddenly and find himself up in the air with no control over his situation. Really? #monsterdon
Gosh, maybe flying around in a helicopter dangling a monster in a giant phone booth wasn't a good idea.
he was melting in the helicopter phone booth this whole time???? put him down!!!!!!!!! of course he is scared!!!! #monsterdon
Heβs going into Future Shock!
We've successfully revived the yeti! Quick! Gas the yeti! #monsterdon
Let Nature give him life, if she will. Oh hell, just shock him.
#Monsterdon they used this in Conan the Destroyer too. Ba boom. Kettle drummer was very happy that day.
I like the literal oscilloscope
I'll give it to Jurassic Park, they had a very plausible reason to have kids on a dangerous adventureβ it was supposed to be an amusement park
Most of the #Monsterdon movies don't bother explaining why 10 year olds are allowed to do monster wrangling
Found out about a new spot near me today. Their pasta gets really food reviews but I was feeling pizza-ey. Crust is perfectly done and the tomato sauce is nice and thick. Definitely try the lasagna/spaghetti. #Monsterdon
@socketwench you can tell he's not a real scientist because he did literally just stop and ask if they SHOULD revive the Yeti.
Jurassic Park taught me that real scientists don't do that.
Does Trump know the Canadians have a yeti?
@bunnyhero #monsterdon
I now realize I too have seen this one. I remember the big red erector setβ¦of science.
The plot thickens as the Large Rich Guy has a sneaky lieutenant, who after the video conference goes into a side office and calls a Mysterious Patron. He is apparently plotting to betray him; I'm sure this treachery will not cause any problems.
This professor is high as fuck and I appreciate that
"WE MUST MERGE SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY!"
All that man in the yellow jacket does is smoke and leer over that girl
The soft porn background music is making me uncomfortable
#Monsterdon Morgan will have a waaafer thin mint. Kaboom!
In the next scene, we are somewhere that requires coats, probably canada, where a large coated crowd has gathered to watch some employees shoot flame throwers at a block of ice. The Science Master from before is watching and taking notes, as are Two Matching Children in White Coats. Other people are watching too; flamethrowering an Ice Block is a fun collective experience.
We learn that the ice block contains a big hairy guy frozen into the ice, perhaps the titular 'Yeti'.
The millionaire plans to open a theme park⦠Welcome To Yetassic Park!
I bet sunlight would work just as well and be way less dangerous than flame throwers, but what do I know? #Monsterdon

Jodie Foster is not amused. There is only one way to win Jodie Fosterβs heartβ¦
Didn't any of you guys watch The Thing? #Monsterdon
Also the SimCity4 player in me is recognising buildings from the game, yayy!
This is going to be stuck in my head for days now

You're hair isn't truly great, unless it's YETI great. Try new Alpine-scented YETI shampoo and conditioner.
"I was frozen for a MILLION YEARS. Talk about bed head! But I woke up without a worry about how my hair would look, because I always use YETI brand shampoo and conditioner."

@SnoopJ And here's a one-second, take-away clip to share with your friends (or notβprobably not).
Dunno who asked for it but I saw a request fly by. Here is the entire Yeti Nipple Sequence for your viewing (dis)pleasure
I forgot to show you! It was delicious though, like key lime pie with crunchy coconut
Yeti pudding #Monsterdon
@Copperplate @allanb @riedlr @ramsey Iβm trying to be an influencer with the flat earth crowd. #monsterdon
Can't believe I missed the German giant octopus movie. Yeah, I know I can watch it in the archive, but it's not the same.
Upon reflection I think the true moral of Yeti this #monsterdon was that scientists who trust businessmen and figure they'll work out the ethics later get murdered by hitmen and have their deaths blamed on yeti.
I watched Yeti earlier. Sorry I missed the toot-along, but some of my favourite bits:
- Teenage-model-heroine places a phone call from a phone booth dropped haphazardly in the middle of a puddle.
- All the Massey Ferguson product placement.
- The henchman killed with the - βgonna crush you, hmm, maybe not, psych! - TOE STRANGLEβ
- From downtown Toronto: βDrive up the mountain!ββ¦ Um, wat!?
Thanks @Taweret for hosting, and everyone who tooted, will be reading through them now!
@allanb @riedlr @ramsey Raw yeti milk is great for the immune system. #monsterdon
Well, now that I tricked you all into voting for Yayti, Iβm off to do my book tour.
Too soon?
whew, it's over. That was a very #monsterdon movie.
I first saw that from MightyBattleCat on Twitter who posted this a long while back.
"Of all the movies I've seen, that was certainly one of them."
@moira When you tell your kids this story, remember, you asked for it.
@riedlr That would explain why he didn't populate the earth. #monsterdon
@riedlr my wife an I watched this a few weeks ago, I think Monsterdon would appreciate it #monsterdon
@ScruffyJunco well, I've never seen THAT before.....
once in a while y'just gotta go "thank the gods for Italian cinema"
Fellini
Sergio Leone
Whatever the fuck this just was
The amazing thing about this week's #monsterdon is that even after watching the whole film, I still have no idea how tall that Yeti was supposed to be, and I have no idea how old either of the kids were supposed to be.
@SordidAmok That would be @Taweret (although the final selection is made by a poll each Monday - follow #MonsterdonAlert to see it)
do we know why there are horseshoes on the conference table? #monsterdon
@jonny @riedlr @ramsey Not once in the process - script, storyboard, effects, rehearsals, or filmingβ¦ not once did someone say βhey, this seems wrong.β #monsterdon
A classic #Monsterdon if there ever was one!
- Friendly yeti
- Just one random scene of weird sexual allusions (optional)
- Monster gets to stomp some people who deserve it
- Monster fucks off into the sea
- Funkina Burana
Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting!
yeti really was like "I could crush him under my foot but...I think I'll strangle him with my toes instead." #monsterdon
I kind of love how in all these YouTube previews the play button spared us the Yeti Butt Crack experience. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
So the plots of this movie were:
Scientist finds yeti and wants to study him
Rich guy wants to promote his businesses
Orphans deal with trauma-induced muteness
Yeti can't make sense of this modern world
Guy positioned as the male lead does some kind of corporate takeover and commits assault, murder
Girl accepts sexual harassment by yeti as normal
Boy find comfort in the unconditional love of a noble hero dog
In case you need that upbeat jazzy disco theme song in your life, the internet archive has you covered.

starring Mimmo Crao as Yeti
I did get a bingo btw ^_^
And as Yeti lopes off into the mountains, itβs revealed that his spit can restore a dead dog to life, thus setting up for a sequel where Hunnicut attempts to recoup his losses with a pharmaceutical miracle.
So, what we had here was an Italian kaiju movie set in Canada? Nothing at all like King Kong, though, because where Kong climbed up a building to get away, Yeti climbed *down.* Totally different. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon YETI SALIVA HEALS DOGS
Ya have to go to #Monsterdon for the premium Toronto content.
OK, #monsterdon is over, my day can start now.
Hey. Hey guys and gals and NB pals. Remember. Remember the Yeeti nipple scene? That was freaking weird. Why was that there?
#Monsterdon #Yeti
More Canadian funk!
@Newpa_Hasai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr0nIZ3YEhw
Still need to find the Yeti song yet. #monsterdon
I could live without the yeti close up
To quote a fellow #Monsterdon watcher from a few months back: ββ¦of all the films weβve watched, that was one of them!β My favourite comment of all time, and Iβm sorry I donβt remember who tooted it.
Yeti spit healed the dog?
The more often I do #Monsterdon the more of my post-movie Plex recommendations are old #Monsterdon movies
YE-TI NIP-PLES! YE-TI NIP-PLES! YE-TI NIP-PLES! YE-TI NIP-PLES!
Yeti was even more than I expected. It was so, so much. What a movie. What a yeti. What a nipple.
Well that certainly was a thing someone put on film. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Happy Ending: magical Yeti Spit apparently heals dead pet. (That's a real thing that happened in the movie)
#Monsterdon The hauler truck was the Ford Pinto after all.
Maybe I was wrong about Jane and Cliff hooking up. Of course, the movie isn't over
This bangin disco hit theme song is "Yeti". Played by "The Yetians!"

The yeti says that only you can stop global warming.
The Yetians ROCK #monsterdon
what
#Monsterdon was that it??? We don't kill the yeti, bad guys are dead. Indio's alive and that's it????
He Hulked off into the sea #monsterdon #yeti
Lassie is bloodied, but otherwise fine afterall.
OH GOD THE MOVIE LOOPS HELP US
#Monsterdon my god Indio is badass, can survive anything. Blood stained fur, they don't care.
Yeti has the power to knock you off a cliff with just a glance. #monsterdon
