Storyline
Plot Summary |
Professor Wassermann (John Stacy) is asked by industry magnate Morgan Hunnicut (Eddie Faye) to lead an expedition to study the giant Yeti creature found frozen in a large ice block on Newfoundland's coast. The professor does not know that Hunnicut intends to use the prehistoric creature as a trademark of its multinational industrial group. A very big mistake. |

Did You Know?
Trivia | This movie is part of the notorious german "SchleFaZ" series. Thus, it was aired 27. October 2023 on german TV station Tele5. ("SchleFaZ" is a german abbreviation, means "the worst films ever". In the series 2 hosts present the whole flick, dress up like the main characters and discuss the overwhelming incompetence of those involved. Great fun!) In addition, the film was shown simultaneously on the evening of the TV broadcast in 3 cinema halls of the Cinedom in Cologne; live in front of a total record-breaking 1600 (!!) enthusiastic Schlefaz fans.

Quotes |
Jane:
Professor Henry, did you see? The yeti is alright. We made friends with him. He's sweet and gentle. We're not in any danger now. Prof. Wassermann: I know, I can see that, Jane. He's adopted you as his family. He's mistaken Herbie for his son and maybe you for his wife. Cliff Chandler: She might have some duties to fulfill when she stays here tonight.
