A sequel to 1972’s “Legend of Boggy Creek” and 1977’s “Return to Boggy Creek”, Boggy Creek II is 3rd in the series even though it’s called #2, maybe for the quality or just redneck math or schooling.
A Bigfoot like creature is spotted in southwest Arkansas and a University of Arkansas professor of anthropology (Charles B. Pierce) goes out to the woods with some students to investigate. Told through flashbacks we see how Bigfoot scored against the rednecks near Boggy Creek.
Let's Check the Math and Compare the Scores
A local farmer/rancher is having lunch and Bigfoot swoops in and steals his herd.
Score this one for Bigfoot.
The local town drunk tries to change his tire and Bigfoot shows up, maybe to help him change it. The guy can’t remember what happened so how is this even relevant?
Going Bigfoot versus script writer on this one.
An attorney is an outhouse, time to embrace your full redneck, and Bigfoot pranks him by tipping the crapper.
Big win for Bigfoot. It’s a much more responsible act than the Shakespeare quote by the character Dick the Butcher in Henry VI, Act II: “The first thing we do is, kill all the lawyers”. This deed done by Bigfoot is much more fitting for Boggy Creek II than act II of this play. The movie is crap, a tragedy but far from Shakespearean. The only butcher here is creator Charles B. Pierce.
The local sheriff, got to have a local sheriff, is out fishing and Bigfoot lumbers in to steal his catches for the day. All while the local sheriff is doing what local sheriffs do best. Nothing.
Edge to Bigfoot but don’t encourage stealing though he is trying to feed his family.
And the Winner is...
This is a big win for Bigfoot. It’s hard not rooting for him in this film. Large majorities of critics and viewers of the film will cite it as one of the worst movies ever made. True. But watching films like this in this criteria somehow turn into an amusing watch because it is so pathetically bad it’s funny.
To sum up this movie we look to Crow T. Robot, who’s mockumentary “Lets’ Talk Woman”, compares them to Bigfoot.
Later, the voice of Crow T. Robot (Bill Corbett) had this to say about the movie.
“It’s the kind of movie that seems to hate you; to wish you active harm; to kick sand in your eyes and make you cry. And for me, this was personified by Mr. Charles B. Pierce, who is apparently responsible for every single aspect, every nano-second of this cruel and unusual bit of celluloid. He chose to write and play a grim, hostile, condescending, know-it-all of a man, a character who is proven superior to everyone else in the story again and again, who drills his lousy stinking voice-over narrative into our heads every freaking minute of this film, and who then has the temerity to wrap his movie up suggesting his sour Nazi of a character is really an ecological servant of God”
