The spectators have been running around the trailer park for a long time without getting anywhere fast.

the problem with running film backwards like that is that the smoke effect is kind of a giveaway.

Mimmo Crao isn't wearing a costume. He was a hairy guy who was willing to do nude work, if the film required it.

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?

Gosh, maybe flying around in a helicopter dangling a monster in a giant phone booth wasn't a good idea.

they used this in Conan the Destroyer too. Ba boom. Kettle drummer was very happy that day.

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.

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.

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'.

I bet sunlight would work just as well and be way less dangerous than flame throwers, but what do I know?

You're hair isn't truly great, unless it's YETI great. Try new Alpine-scented YETI shampoo and conditioner.

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.

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 - β€œgonna crush you, hmm, maybe not, psych! - TOE STRANGLE”
- From downtown Toronto: β€œDrive up the mountain!”… Um, wat!?

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, and everyone who tooted, will be reading through them now!

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.

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!

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

And as Yeti lopes off into the mountains, it’s 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

To quote a fellow #Monsterdon watcher from a few months back: β€œβ€¦of all the films we’ve watched, that was one of them!” My favourite comment of all time, and I’m sorry I don’t remember who tooted it.

The hauler truck was the Ford Pinto after all.
