Holy Yellow Tail Fat Man!!
18 March 2009
Finally, a movie fit for a drunken Yukon tie salesman. Wahooo! The 'inebriated couple wallowing in the hay' scene caused me to sympathy-puke. I then began sobbing as I thought of just how nasty this movie turned out to be. The soundtrack features redundant noises such as the moo of just one cow dubbed and re-dubbed to suggest multiple cows fleeing a burning log cabin. Granted, this sorry flick was produced in 1975 but come on!?? Daniel's 'pusskins' fur-topped boots just don't seem to fit in with the rugged Alaskan (or Canadian) outback, but who's taking note? The close-up on little Johnny's face during an early mindless fight scene was an interesting study of pre-adolescent bicuspids. Mr. Director, why not study a single nostril while you are at it? OMG! The stunt of all movie stunts occurs in this film when David (who is dangling (1) meters above the ground by a damaged hemp rope) tells little Johnny to run and fetch some water to pour over the top rope. He then demands that the runt pack it with snow to quick-freeze the frays thus eliminating the dreaded suggestion of a tragic fall incident. Don't try this at home kiddies! The unintelligible babble between Ferguson and railroad developers doesn't offer a clue during this blizzardous plot. It's too bad Ferguson (who planted a mini-bomb in his model of the mountains next to Grizzly City) didn't blow up the entire cast and production crew.

The Buhdist monk who performed a Catholic wedding in falsetto Greek gibberish marked by a distinct Italian accent was hilarious! He looked sort of like a hooded Cheech from the movie, Up In Smoke. The surreal and wacky music during the fist fight that ensues was apropos for such a sleazy shtick.

Do yourself a favor, rent an old Godzilla movie instead of this horrid excuse of legitimate cinema.
