The BIGFOOT Movie: Harry and the Hendersons - Rental Reviews

[@joewitmer3502]

I cant wait for cinnemassacre rental reviews to do some spoooooky movies in October

[@walcodebruyn2135]

Same here!!

[@stephenthedude4383]

Also same

[@MK-qo1rz]

Saturday the 14th , the deadly spawn , Q wing, terror vision troll, ghoulis & the gate oh and house please do one of them!

[@Sidnfjdkdndfbd]

Also same

[@frozenaorta]

Yes! Ghoulies would be PERFECT for this show, too. I really want them to do that one.

[@BeerdyBruceLeeCentral]

The movie and the TV series was on CONSTANTLY through the 80s and 90s on TV. A real nice piece of nostalgia. Kevin Peter Hall died in 1991 and they had to find another Harry after he died. I think they ended up using five or six different actors for Harry. They could never replace the talent of Kevin Peter Hall. R.I.P

[@Godlike_Virus]

I was not aware that he passed away, and knowing he was the OG Predator. =\ Saddened.

[@charlesdavis4887]

Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central When Kevin died he was replaced by Brian Steele a close friend of Kevin's.

[@kylemassey4060]

I didn't know there was a TV show

[@jamesmbs1]

Oh, here we go with this stupid "80's & 90's" shit!

[@kylemassey4060]

[@Str8From215]

Grew up in the 80’s and 90’s This movie is awesome

[@wstine79]

Can't wait to see Cinemassacre Video decorated for Halloween in cheesy decorations.

[@frozenaorta]

All of the yes. I really want them to watch Ghoulies. It's PERFECT for this show.

[@darkmyro]

I want them to be the cheapest most cheesy Halloween decoration they can find XD

[@timspencer3185]

🧀

[@waaaand]

yes please, this so much

[@LadyCoyKoi]

I'm so buying Halloween decorations this year at Dollar Tree. Thank you for reminding me. ^_^

[@Retroid84]

Man i forgot how realistic Harry looked, even by today's standards it's still better than most animatronic costumes etc.

[@squelchotron8259]

Yeah, he looks and acts so real. Could never do that with CGI.

[@Perktube1]

Looks better than she-hulk.

[@heiligeskanonenrohr9747]

Even the new King Kong looks terrible

[@4amstuckonearth]

This was quite good. The beard guys insights were awesome. The merch add at the end was brilliant.

[@pizzamon795]

John Lithgow is one of the greatest actors of all time.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Loved him in Cliffhanger and Third Rock!

[@vonshroom2068]

My brothers keeper. If you want to see him twice as much ;)

[@Reshyrah]

@@vonshroom2068 are you sure you're not thinking about Raising Cain? He plays everyone in that movie, lol

[@hitmanhatton]

Nobody plays the psycho bad guy better than him. Cliffhanger, and the best season of Dexter among his resume of awesome roles he also nails comedy which works because it's such a huge contrast

[@torballs]

[@Chaingun]

Ron Perlman was great in this movie.

[@shayZero]

Cannot unsee

[@pouletsept5099]

LMAO, bravo sir bravo.

[@deadpaddyoriordan8146]

I was thinking Tom Waits. But then I realized Tom Waits and Ron Perlman could be the same person.

[@inevitableveganfuture3915]

And no true sequel....Perlman kills another franchise.

[@radelta]

That is actually kevin peter hall, not ron perlman

[@jamesthenabignumber]

"I wanted to be Harry." [looks at beard and hair] "I think you nailed it."

[@Herr.P]

Pretty funny.

[@theluckiesteh9058]

The Predator in a previous life was a Friendly Sasquatch.

[@yeismeload]

It sometimes blows my mind how diverse Lithgow's career has been over the years. The guy is such an incredible actor in pretty much any type of movie genre or role.

[@kevinr.3542]

James these are the greatest ever. Great movie choices and amazing commentary. It's always funny, informative, and its very naturally done. These are a wonder to behold.

[@joewitmer3502]

My family Watched this alot when i was a kid. This should be a good one!

[@stridermt2k]

I so absolutely love these! What a great idea, and of course the execution is awesome. THIS SERIES ROCKS

[@PirataMundoTV]

Fun Fact: Kevin Peter Hall also had a background in tribal dance which shows in his movements as the Predator

[@shane3674]

This is a prime example why practical effects are better than the CGI crap they give us today. If this movie was made in today's time, they would CGI the hell out of it and it just wouldn't look as good.

[@jesseswarbrick7895]

CGI always looks dated when you watch it years later. Practical effects hold up much better

[@brandobond]

That was a real wolf in that movie - not CGI.

[@KurNorock]

Wrong. Just because some practical effects are good doesn't mean they are better than cgi. Yeah, bad cgi is bad. But good cgi is amazing. Practical effects just are not believable in most cases. Like Yoda in the last Jedi. It was so obviously a puppet. Cgi would have been a much better option. The fact is that 95% of the cgi you see is so good that you don't even notice it. But hey I guess you would rather that jurassic park was made with clay models and stop motion, right?

[@shane3674]

Kur Norock actually you're the one that's wrong and most people would agree that practical effects almost always look better than CGI. My guess is you grew up when CGI took over and The fact that you would prefer a CGI Yoda over a puppet Yoda makes one assume.

[@EviltheNub]

I've seen more bad practical effects than I have bad CGI. All this CGI hate is just bandwaggon jumping spearheaded by nostalgia blindness.

[@-PrimeTime-]

My parents would go rent the huge grey VCR from the grocery store and we'd rent Harry and the Henderdsons, Back to the Future, and Three Amigos. Wow have times changed and I'm not really that old.

[@-PrimeTime-]

@Smooth Tommy Vermooth Lots of people did before VCR's were in every household. It didn't take long for us to get one but initially that's the way it was.

[@Sivarius]

I remember being able to rent game consoles Rented an Xbox one time

[@ThisIsPatRyan]

Prime Time a lot of people did in the 80s

[@floyd2386]

How do you define "not really that old"? I'm almost 32 (Oct '86) and have never heard of VCR rentals. I must have just missed the days when VCRs weren't affordable for the average Joe.

[@einherjar8147]

@@floyd2386 Yeah, you just missed it. I'm 37, and it was a big friggin' deal when we went to Sears (because we bought everything at Sears) to buy a VCR when I was a little kid.

[@jamesbalda2867]

You guys should definitely review “The Stuff”(1985). I think it would be perfect for October and provide some funny commentary

[@pika23]

Maybe. I saw it recently...it could be fun. Having dubs did a fun dub of it.

[@spencerlamb1017]

He did “the stuff” during monster madness a few years back. The review is on KZbin.

[@jamesbalda2867]

Spencer Lamb thanks! I was looking for it on the official page but I found it on a monster madness fan page

[@spencerlamb1017]

Please review Coneheads...and My Stepmother Is an Alien.

Surprised there’s no Dirty Harry and the Hendersons parody sketch anywhere

[@grizzlywhisker]

go watch "Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can." It's basically the same thing...

Always a nostalgic joy to watch cinemassacre's videos! Keep up the good work guys. I remember seeing Harry and the Hendersons in theaters.

Could you guys review Big Trouble in Little China?

[@peterryan5309]

Quirky Fungus Macaulay Culkin answered your prayer. XD

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

That Twilight Zone The Movie _"A Face In The Window"_ at the end. lol I'm dead. I LOVED Harry and the Hendersons as a kid too. It may have been all over the place and I most likely didn't understand it as well, at that age. But I think it had a perfect balance of fun for a kid my age and just the right amount of conflict, making you cheer Harry on.

[@OutlawsGeneration]

I love these Rental Movie Reviews they kick total ass. Big thumbs up to you James.

[@klockwerk187]

It's really inspiring to see homes like this. Too many people are focused on either living like pigs or are hyper clean with "nice" things and while I mean no insult to James or anyone else by saying that...I simply mean the video rental room, the video game room. I would love to walk into a room in my house that SCREAMS 1994 video rental place. I'm sure it's a great feeling and a total nostalgia trip. I would stand and just stare in awe from time to time. Hell, I do that with my own game collection and I have a mere 200+ genesis/nes/snes/gameboy/n64 titles. Shit like this is why people are awesome.

[@deadheadwalls]

The whole flower in the fridge that is a thing its a keepsake my mom kept the flowers from my prom its been there for 12 years and still there

[@GoatzombieBubba]

And you need to keep flowers chilled during transport too so they can stay fresh.

[@alvaroff81]

You should review one of the movies for mom and dad

[@Dlihclive]

I like to thing that if you go inside that section of the store, you would just end up in the Cinema Snob's set.

[@xenos_n.]

I remember seeing this on the video store shelves as a kid but never actually watching it. Was too busy renting those NES games.

[@rayzaramon6598]

I hope you guys review The Monster Squad next month.

Probably has something to do with being able to sit this time around. Guy looked like he was gonna drop in the previous Rental Reviews.

Love this series guys! Also speaking of the amazing John Lithgow, I've never heard you guys talk about his break-out performance in the very very weird Raising Cain, which is an early 90s time-capsule to be sure. Would love to hear you guys review that one!

[@scottwilson3741]

Raising Cain was great but if he had a breakout role I'd say it was as Rev. Shaw Moore in Footloose

[@johnathanclark79]

No reference to Every which way but loose (Orangoutang movie) when talking about Dirty Harry and Harry.

[@FulkNerraIII]

Just a little tip for the guy in the glasses, who I assume is the owner of the video store. Your computer is not state of the art, and you might want to invest in some newers movies and dvds. It's hard enough to run a video rental store today, much less with older stock. You might want to also kick out the same 3 guys who always hang out in your store, only one of them ever seems to rent anything. Good luck with your store, it's still awesome to see a rental store in modern times!

[@digiprez77]

As a kid I spent all my summers up at our cabin in the Northwoods, and a couple times a year we would pile into the station wagon and go into town to see a movie at the little rinky-dink theater. It was always a fun experience. This was one of the ones we saw that really stuck with me. I had a new mission when I went out to play... Finding Sasquatch. I confess I haven't really stopped looking. If I am out in the woods I still find myself taking a second look at trees and bushes once in a while just to make sure.

This is one of my favorite series to listen to while I’m filing stuff at work. I love rental reviews!

[@evilsWa]

I love how the big guy said this movie is pro guns. Like LITERALLY the central theme of this movie was anti gun. The fact that the characters are INTRODUCED as using guns is what we call the start of their character arc. That's why the "hunter" becomes "worse" throughout the movie. Because the movie is SPECIFICALLY SAYING that hunting for sport is bad. His dad runs a hunting shop and his son rebels against that. Also like the SECOND scene of the movie has John Lithgow say to his kids "hey, hey, hey, watch out for my drawings!" Dialog informs character. The drawing thread did not come out of nowhere unless you were not paying attention.... You guys are weird. Let James talk more.

[@PablojRomero402]

It seems they try to have some kind of political commentary in each video. There is enough of that all over the internet

[@evilsWa]

Oh yeah and did you fall asleep when he talks to his wife and literally has that scene you guys said should have been in there. He says "I wanted a set of paints for my birthday. Instead my dad got me a BB gun." Come on guys...

You are so much more enjoyable to watch than Doug walker James and I'll tell you why. Every where you look nowadays someone with no authority is trying to force some religious or political belief onto people and it's extremely refreshing and relieving to just be able to laugh and enjoy nostalgia whether games or movies or whatever without listening to a celebrity completely divorced from the political arena pushing ideas as if anyone cares what they think. That's also why I enjoy phelan porteous. It's just comedy without the smug political garbage. That's why I've been a fan of yours since like 08.
