Mystery Science Theater 3000: BOGGY CREEK II: AND THE LEGEND CONTINUES Rewatch

September 29, 2022 2:27 AM - Season 10, Episode 6

Rewatch! Another Bigfoot search movie. Compared to Season 11's Cry Wilderness, this one makes more sense, but is also kind of disjointed. Beware the outhouse scene, which word is was much longer and more awful in the unedited cut. This is also the episode with Old Man Crenshaw. I feel bad about some things I've said about his appearance in the past, but the character is still written as a jerk, and the fact remains that his one-strap overalls, rubber-band-bound beard attire is not a flattering choice of costume.

I love these weird outsider-art movie episodes. This movie is just awful, but completely watchable. You just know that kid wanted to take off his shirt in every scene, too.

A favorite of mine, too. Fans of this film really owe it to themselves to see "The Norseman", which manages to do a shoestring Viking epic that is somehow worse than Roger Corman's "Viking Women". This despite Charles B Pierce roping in Lee Majors, Cornel Wilde and Jack Elam into it. It was filmed five years before "Boggy Creek II" and features both the kid and Old Man Crenshaw. It's a sight to behold.
