This is still one of the most fantastic suits ever made. It holds up so well. The animatronics too.

Yes, like any effect , it can only get so real before you just believe it , like in Harry's case. The Only thing that Rick Baker said that he would change about Harry in a recent interview, was that he would make his teeth a little more translucent. This was and is the best Bigfoot character ever on screen . I miss him.

35+ years later and I don’t think Hollywood could do any better than what they did then. Especially now a days so much CGI is used. Such an amazing job and an Oscar well earned!

Rest in peace Kevin Peter Hall.

[@coffeeaddictgaming2883]

Amazing. Still one of the best makeup/suits ever.

[@cathyaudette1060]

I always wondered how Harry could be so real. Amazing! My little nephew and I must have watched this movie dozens of times. Long before CGI.

Greatest work of art, thank you for bringing this character to life, Rick Baker 👍

In the UK it was called Bigfoot and the Hendersons, saw it at the cinema as a kid and it is an all time favourite, that suit is so brilliant along with Kevins portrayal, amazing!

[@dascrab1234]

in Germany it was called Bigfoot "und die" Henderson's too 😅✌

[@LadySamurai88]

Everything in this movie is so amazing! Kevin in the suit the rest of the actors. The creators of the suit and many many more amazing people ❤

This movie was so influential to me growing up. Always wanted to know Mr.Baker's opinion on the possibility of Bigfoot or the Patterson/Gimlin film.

THis video is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting!!! I'm a special effects artist and began a 1:1 scupture of Harry a few years ago but gave up on it. This inspires me to take up the work again.

[@dascrab1234]

watched it again since it came out.
There's so much work, afford and love in it.
Im glad I watched this! 👍

[@cheville2001]

I remember back in the cinema shedding a few tears at the end of the film when the song "loves lives on" plays with the sketches of Harry playing during the credits scene

[@brentcarr8365]

Way better than special affects by a mile, that what's missing in movies nowadays

[@kilingkiling-tinybell]

The best family movie next to E.T.

[@theamused8705]

Love this movie!

[@carbonc6065]

Genius.

[@gidgitvonlarue679]

This makes me so so happy - thank you x

[@jdraimer]

One of my favorite films growing up. Is it going to come out on Blu-ray?

[@davidpearson9036]

Wonder how much one of these costumes cost some ppl would like an iron man suit I'd like a harry Henderson suit

[@1whowasNEVERhere]

Name one Marvel movies CGI that looks as real as this?

[@lindsberry9410]

Who played the character of Harry. Who is the suit wearer

[@davidpearson9036]

I always thought it was Ron pearlman fro soap and he'll boy that played him, looks similar

[@Buckaroo_Baldwin]

He would have been doing BATB at this time. Oddly enough the make up on that was also done by Rick.

[@Nick-cy2tn]

Imagine using this suit for hoaxes

[@Takeit1500]

This still looks foolish, Patty is real.
