Review of 'Last Chance Detectives: Legend of the Desert Bigfoot'


The acting... I've seen worse, but it's meh. There is a veterinarian character in the movie who thinks it is very possible that Bigfoot exists, so that's notable. Good families values are expressed in the film, as can be expected by a "focus on the family" presentation. Pretty entertaining overall. Not too bad.

Another Bigfoot movie review and yet again the main thing I have to report is that the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film holds up. Here is the Desert Bigfoot film crew's failed attempt at a recreation...


The Patterson-Gimlin films authenticity is supported by a full Professor of anatomy and anthropology and expert on foot morphology along with locomotion in primates, Dr. Jeff Meldrum. In this video he takes on debunking arguments and explains why the 10 footprint casts collected at the site solidifies the case that the figure in the video is a real Bigfoot. 

Furthermore, there is the film analysis of Bill Munns and National Geographic showing the subject's proportions do not match that of any known human. This is coupled with his experimental work trying to build A Bigfoot costume to match the look of the 1967 film, resulting in his co-authorship of a peer-reviewed paper with Meldrum showing that the film subject is consistent with real anatomy and not a Bigfoot suit. Munns studied film and worked for 35 years making monsters for films, museums, and wildlife exhibits, thus is also highly-qualified for the study have done. Their conclusions cannot be dismissed.
