Anyway, whatever his evil plan is, Yellow Jacket Man has the Little Brother as a hostage and tries to shoot the Yeti with a large rifle but fails to hit, and the Yeti rescues the little brother and screams more, then knocks a truck over and squishes Yellow Jacket Man with his foot.

The cops show up but so far have not shot at the Yeti.

I have seen some movies that make no sense over the years, but this thing may be in a class by itself. I mean, using the yeti to sell gasoline and snack foods has thus far been the *most* coherent part of this plot.

Back at the warehouse, the cops have decided that the Yeti is guilty; the Smart Daughter tries to explain that he was asleep and so he is innocent.

Back at the cop factory, which inexplicably has a Giant Univac Computer in the background, the top cop decides that the Yeti is guilty and sends cops to attack the Yeti. He tells the eccentric rich guy this via a phone call, and the Eccentric Rich Guy is sad, crying at the end of his gigantic table.

The only way to tame the wild Yeti is with a huge curly mass of steel wool. Roughly fifteen minutes of passion and he’ll be asleep in moments. Like a man.

After getting more oxygen, the Yeti makes up and is mad; he seems to realize that the sleazy goons were the source of the trouble and starts smashing them in a Targeted Rampage. They run outside and start hiding behind construction equipment, which is the strategy I used in the construction equipment levels in X-COM.

The speeding cop-car sequences seem totally gratuitous. Probably necessary to get the filming rights in Toronto in 1977.

Time check, 1h17m, woman screaming while grabbing her head in terror and then fleeing. Perfect GIF capture moment.

Who is Jane and her sister/brother exactly?

I don't know why they are in this film at all in terms of backstory

Little kid knows what’s what. Rub the Yeti boy. You’ll figure it out. Then you’ll get a yogurt spritz. A buckets worth. Little ice cubes in it. Cause, yeti.

That was quite a brutal beating for a character we are definitely supposed to like after the build-up of little things

They put lights on taxis and giant block letters. That’s ACAB amusante

It’s refreshing to see absolutely zero chivalry in the escape from the elevator scene. Screw you bitch, I’m just going to climb over you!

Immediately search "Did Toronto really have cop cars that looked like cabs with sirens?" Turns out it did! #monsterdon

Okay, so the Yeti starts rampaging and breaking building because he didn't like the camera flashes; the puny humans start hiding from him, but he smashes more walls; this makes the Smart Daughter horny. A puritanical god punishes her for her sins by stranding her on the side of the building, but she is rescued by the Yeti, making her even hornier.

What a nightmare being squished in an elevator with beautiful young models in silk dresses falling all over everything. I know I'd be doing the first-out-the-door George Costanza thing too
