★★★★ · Proof at last ? · cloudeagle · 2013-01-25
Maybe just me but actually enjoyed this. Ok a bit basic but hey the guy never said hes a biologist. I love all mysteries and research same a lot. While not great film imagine if he' d had digital cameras etc then people might not be so quick to write it off. New species are being found all over the planet in places never before explored, so I'd like to think in time he will be prooved right.

Told like Ralphie from "Christmas Story", I couldn't stop watching :)

As the title indicates, The Legend is the subject of this film, not Proof Bigfoot Found. A naive presentation (the crew appears in a short scene inside a shelter) supports the narrator's musings on the probabilities of existence. The squirrel segment almost had me leaving, but I'm glad I stayed to see the entire thing. It sparks new ideas.
★★★ · THE LEGEND OF BIGFOOT, special guest star Bigfoot · Toyland Chairman · 2013-04-19
Ivan Marx's "The Legend of Bigfoot" in more of a wilderness film than it is about Bigfoot. Compiled from years of Ivan's research about animals and the great outdoors, spliced with new footage depicting Bigfoot for commercial reasons, as the mystery of Bigfoot was a hot debate at the time. And kind of still is. This film is an interesting watch for both reasons, but it may not be for everyone.

I saw this some years ago and found it very entertaining. Wether it's true or not, that could be anyones guess.But ita a fun film if you dont take it too seriously.

I saw this and it changed my life and gave it much needed meaning on the subject of Bigfoot as it had meant to me and had lacked, because of everything Ivan Marx was but really is to me today on the day I discovered him, in July 25' and I'm 53 now, 31 years later after my intense meeting of Bigfoot, suddenly Bigfoot letting out a big roar you could hear for miles, and running off at a trot every step I felt in my chest, and another across the lake a mile away, hearing it stomping away and a girl screamed over there, but I only smelled the beast once that night until it went back home, not at…
