Yeah, it was a real-joy showing my kids Mrs. Doughtfire and Harry and the Hendersons (amongst others). These films represent a large chunk of my childhood. It gives them new memories while allowing me to relive some very fond memories of a much simpler time. Ah, the good ole days. If I'd of known they'd one day be regarded as the good ole days, I would have slowed down and savored them a bit more. Maybe the present will one day be regarded as the good ole days? Gives me pause to slow down.
Indeed - between Harry's facial features in this film and Hoggle in Labyrinth, it feels like the epitome of animatronic special effects... then came 15-20 years of terrible CG while computer graphics tried to catch up.
Back in 1987 my three year old nephew and I watched this movie over and over again. He loved it so much and so did I. The makeup on Harry was just incredible and made him such a sympathetic and beloved creature. RIP Kevin Peter Hall.
Haha! Love that line. I still use it on occasion , when the opportunity presents itself. It's about a 50/50 chance whether anyone knows what I'm talking about.
Had a Harry doll when I was younger. Love this film, Especially the kick to the ding ding scene. The look on Harry's face and the sound he makes is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂
@@jpx8793 no it was a few years later, around 1994. Will owned property out that way and out really was a beautiful place. Lake Mary Ronan Lodge and Resort. So very beautiful.
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. This was one of my Mom's favorite movies and we watched it together quite often. She passed away 2 years ago and when I watch movies like this, it makes me think back to better times when she was still alive.
Case in point.... The Lion King. Many feel Disney borrowed heavily from an anime series called "Kimba the White Lion" which at the time was in the public domain.
You know I never noticed before but one of the things I love about this channel is Minty doesn’t end every episode with don’t forget to like, favorite, subscribe, tell your friends, or any of those annoying tropes. Thanks
Great stuff Minty! I was lucky to work as David Suchet's (Hunter Le Fleur) Stand-in when they were on location in and around Seattle Washington in the Summer of 1986. Another interesting note was the film's Director of Photography was Allen Daviau who was also the DP on Steven Spielberg's E.T., THE COLOR PURPLE and EMPIRE OF THE SUN. Really nice guy. A lot of the crew had just finished shooting THE COLOR PURPLE with Spielberg and wore their COLOR PURPLE hats on the set. Bill Dear the director was a lot of fun and it was a really nice friendly crew. Lithgow and Suchet were friendly as was Melinda Dillon who played Lithgow's wife. Melinda also played the mother of the little boy abducted by the aliens in Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. Joshua Rudoy who played Ernie the kid, got to hang out with my cousin's kids when there was down time from shooting and he was a cute kid. My good friend Byron who I met on the film was Don Ameche's Stand-in, so since Ameche and Suchet had a lot of scenes together, we got to work together a lot. You can actually see us in the DMV Scene when Le Flur went there to track down the Henderson's address. Bill Dear featured all the Stand-in's in that scene as we were all standing around Le Fleur impatiently waiting in the DMV line. I'm the irritated bearded guy chewing gum. David Suchet went on to play Hercule Perot in the BBC Agatha Christie Series. Anyway I have fond memories of working on that movie and thanks for letting me share here! Keep up the great videos!
There is just something about how 80 movies were filmed. They really touch your soul. Like curling up on a cool summer day on the porch while the rain falls.
Just when I think you've covered all my childhood favorites you go and pull something like this?! I swear you're a mind reader Minty! Great vid as always brother!
There have been at least 500,000 films ever made. If Minty is doing a review on one film every three days or so, he should have enough material for the next 4109 years! That's not allowing for the 100s of new films each year. It gives me comfort to know that we shouldn't run out of Minty reviews in my lifetime.
500,000 films ever made (very appoximate guess based on Google searches) x 3 (one review every 3 days) = 1,500,000 days (i.e. 4,109 years). This could be rounded down slightly if he combines trilogies etc into a single review which he's done before.
My husband hadn't seen this movie until a few years ago. Now it's one of his favs. Hoping our son likes it as much within time. Awesome movie and video. We watch daily and love the info you dig up on the films. Thanks Minty
Marco Formenti Well thanks very much mate I appreciate that if you think I’m a great dad now have a look at couple of my videos and you’ll see I’m better than a great dad I’m an awesome dad because I make my son some awesome stuff😁👍🏻
Good movie pic for today Minty!!man this is a classic!grew up watching and loving it.that ending when he speaks and then his family comes out of nowhere being camouflaged in the woods..
I remember going to my grandparents house watching this movie on VHS on the weekends with me and my sister. this was always my favorite movie and always will be.
His brother John Suchet is a TV presenter and journalist, they look fairly similar. John even mentioned his brother on the national news at one point, David was at an awards ceremony.
I was an usher at my local theater the summer Harry and the Hendersons was released. At midnight, the day before release, management had a “preview” showing of Beverly Hills Cop 2 for us workers and it was clear that movie was going to do massive box office. I was surprised that The Untouchables did so well. All I remember of that movie was our 70mm copy ripped with 10 minutes left in the film and I was voted to go out and announce the delayed start of the next showing. God, I miss having that summer job! Good times!
what I find ironic about this movie, is that both Rick Baker and Stan Winston were nominated for the Best Makeup Effects category at the Oscars that year, for which Rick won for "Harry and the Hendersons.

I love this film, I own it on Blu Ray and I constantly watch it. I think filmmakers should go back to the old school ways of practical makeup effects like this movie.
@@SkellingtonFan Yes I absolutely agree. I'm a huge fan of old school special effects makeup from the 80's. My favorite effects artists are Rick Baker, Stan Winston, Greg Nicotero, Dick Smith the man who did the effects in The Exorcist, Tom Savini and Rob Bottin.
Wow Minty... that was EMOTIONAL! I'm from the UK so i remember it as BIGFOOT not HARRY and the Hendersons too. Buy the end speech about being good to each other got me man. These 80s films, as an 80s kid, have nostalgic good vibes and provoke a huge glow of nostalgia when i see stuff like this. I have been BINGE WATCHING your videos for days now and I'm loving every minute mate. Love it Minty me ol mucka
I only ever saw it as "Harry & the Hendersons", but it was in 89 when it played on UK cable in Spain. It was kept on for years so regular re-watch at any hour. It is to me John's movie with Harry as his way to change (80-90 loved that idea). Also David Suchet!!! As the hunter who too is changed by marvellous Harry (best Poirot). Watching this after trailer for Cats- something went badly wrong that that's supposed to be progress in special effects. As a kid I would have given Harry a big hug, he was just so special especially as I'm a vegetarian. Love the burying animals in the back yard & the pool! Hero Harry
this movie had a profound effect on my young self. it sparked my interest in Bigfoot and John Lithgow. But seriously, that makeup has yet to be surpassed. They freaking nailed the Bigfoot look.
That's the joke i guess, in the movie when George is telling Ernie that they have to say good bye to their 'hairy' friends, ernie being the kid he is thinks george has called him "harry" thus the next line "Harry? since when does he have a name?"
Rick Baker has said this is still his favorite creature he has done, and was the first time he used remote controlled servos, He is still very proud and has said it holds up pretty well. The only thing he said he would change is the translucency of the teeth
I choose to believe Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is its sequel...think about it! John Lithgow plays the same character, older and with Alzheimer's, having changed his family's name to avoid being hounded about their association with Harry. The kid with glasses grew up to be James Franco, having a great interest in and respect for apes and their intelligence. Tell me this doesn't make sense!
My favorite scene in the movie, purely showing off how expressive that animatronic mask was, was when poor Harry got kicked in the balls. There's this slow reveal, starting with angry, then moving on to a little pain, and then the feeling of pain all of us guys have felt at one time or another. There's technical brilliance, then there's just plain showing off.
I remember seeing this when I was a kid. I loved it but I cried so hard at the end when George was trying to make Harry leave for his own good. Goddammit I'm tearing up now.
One of the silliest movies I've ever seen, and I still like all the same. It's far from among my favorites, but I still enjoy once in a while when it airs on TV. BTW... something came up while looking the video for The Princess Bride... any chance you can do one for STARDUST or LADYHAWKE?
Perhaps, but I’d imagine his eyes were set so close because they needed to align to the man’s eyes under the mask. Also, if they made the head thinner to help the eyes look more appropriately spaced, the head would be too thin for such a large body. Lastly, if they had mad the head thinner, I don’t believe all the facial articulation gadgets would’ve fit/worked properly.
Minty, the poster that features Harry and the family in the car is a take on a Norman Rockwell painting. I just figured it out while watching your vid. I wonder if anyone else ever made that connection.
I really love what they did with the poster showing only harry's eyes holding the flower making people think what kind of movie is that.Also liked the one that shows the broken door in the shape of harry's big body gone out that is the more fun version and still holds close to the same secrecy with the darker poster.This movie is one of my favorites close to E.T. and goonies & such and love how they worked on it as well!
I watched this film a couple months ago after nearly 30 years and I was surprised at how much of the film I remembered, considering I was 6 years old the last time I watched the movie. I loved it as much as I did back then, it is heart-warming and hilarious and I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried during it. Definitely a classic film of the 1980s and has something for both children and adults can enjoy.
I love seeing my kids fall in love with movies from my youth and this one is a favourite
Yeah, it was a real-joy showing my kids Mrs. Doughtfire and Harry and the Hendersons (amongst others). These films represent a large chunk of my childhood. It gives them new memories while allowing me to relive some very fond memories of a much simpler time. Ah, the good ole days. If I'd of known they'd one day be regarded as the good ole days, I would have slowed down and savored them a bit more. Maybe the present will one day be regarded as the good ole days? Gives me pause to slow down.
Heck yeah lol I got my nephews and kids to love this one too. Ages 3-12
@WilliePirie Yep, its the best feeling in the world isnt it.
@Christopher MacDonald they must have seen to much modern movies first. That's like eating candy before dinner then comparing both of them.
same
I'm still impressed with Harry's animatronics. Way better then the overused CGI crap we get today.
That was an actual person not animatronic...
Maybe some but 90% or so was a person....
@@jasonswacker6419
I'm aware of the fact that there was an actor involved but Harry's face is largely an animatronic.
@@jasonswacker6419 did you watch the video, the face was animatronic.
Indeed - between Harry's facial features in this film and Hoggle in Labyrinth, it feels like the epitome of animatronic special effects... then came 15-20 years of terrible CG while computer graphics tried to catch up.
The actress playing the mother is also the same person who played Barry’s mom in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS and the mom in A CHRISTMAS STORY
She was also in Slap Shot as Hammeran's wife.
@@August3B Wife or girlfriend?
I love that movie btw.
She was a beautiful woman back then.
@@August3B ------ Double thumbs up on Slapshot!

"Good, then it's just a hairball..."
😂😂😂
Who told u Kevin P. Hall was 6'6? He was 7'3 👌
I was about to mention that. That is correct.
Yeah, I've always heard over 7 feet
John Lithgow is 6’4. Harry wouldn’t have been so menacing if he was only 2” taller than a main character
Rip Kevin Peter Hall
Jonathan Kinney I know I didn't think he was only 2 inches taller than me. Im 6'4
Still probably one of the greatest most believable costume/special effects creations in movie history
Had a Harry doll when I was younger. Love this film, Especially the kick to the ding ding scene. The look on Harry's face and the sound he makes is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂
Ding ding. Hahaha!
John Lithgow and William Dear used to come to my grandfather's mountain resort in Montana. Will drive a red Maserati and was really nice.
That's awesome, Mr. Shores. Was it during the filming of this movie? I bet it's gorgeous there.
@@jpx8793 no it was a few years later, around 1994. Will owned property out that way and out really was a beautiful place. Lake Mary Ronan Lodge and Resort. So very beautiful.

1:45, Kevin Peter Hall is the best character actor who will always be remembered playing not only Bigfoot, but the Predator.
he'll be missed
Shaine White now I wanna see a movie called Alien vs Harry
his son did some work playing predator for bat in the sun
Jackson Shepherd, that would be explosive.

I had always believed that Harry got his name because he was just... hairy!
Me too!
Same here! 😂 💚
Disney does have a history of "borrowing" the plot points, or the entire plot, of other films/media for their own content.
Case in point....
The Lion King.
Many feel Disney borrowed heavily from an anime series called "Kimba the White Lion" which at the time was in the public domain.
@@terryyork6401 actually for the Lion King's story they just ripped off Shakespeare's Hamlet
They took the look and feel of Kimba the White Lion and gave it the Hamlet story so yes. To both.
Gentlemen.
I thank you both for the clarification. Be well.😁
A classic, heartfelt family comedy. Thanks Minty.
Now do Event Horizon.
Kevin Peter Hall was 7’3”. Not 6’6”.
Yeah John Lithgow is 6'4 so he definitely was taller than 6'6!!!
I would've thought as much to tower over Arnie like he did.
Only off by 9 inches. No big deal.

It was called Harry and the Hendersons in Canada too! I loved the TV show. I thought it was great!
"Mon Dieu?! They have a language?"
Jacques Lafleur (David Suchet)
I love that line at the end of this movie! Such a great ending, too...
Thanks Minty!
It was weird seeing "Poirot" tracking Harry. I guess Lafleur is a detective, kinda.
His brother John Suchet is a TV presenter and journalist, they look fairly similar. John even mentioned his brother on the national news at one point, David was at an awards ceremony.
Another great segment Minty! As kids we would watch Harry and the Hendersons with our grandparents.
I was an usher at my local theater the summer Harry and the Hendersons was released. At midnight, the day before release, management had a “preview” showing of Beverly Hills Cop 2 for us workers and it was clear that movie was going to do massive box office.

I absolutely adore this movie so many childhood memories are pouring into me.
yes but how to get back to this time.. I want to go
what I find ironic about this movie, is that both Rick Baker and Stan Winston were nominated for the Best Makeup Effects category at the Oscars that year, for which Rick won for "Harry and the Hendersons.
My dads cousin worked on the production of Harry and the Hendersons. I remover watching it in the theatre. I loved it and still do to this day. :)
Harry Nilsson is an amazing artist. I love that he's a part of one of my favorite childhood movies.

The character of Jacques Lafleur was played by David Suchet who is best known for playing Hercule Poirot.

His family moved to AUS when he was a kid. His accent is very much a mix.
Anyone think Harry looked like Kenny Rodgers?
It's the beard
Shit yes ha
One of my favorites growing up.
I remember seeing this when I was a kid. I loved it but I cried so hard at the end when George was trying to make Harry leave for his own good. Goddammit I'm tearing up now.
One of the silliest movies I've ever seen, and I still like all the same. It's far from among my favorites, but I still enjoy once in a while when it airs on TV. BTW... something came up while looking the video for The Princess Bride... any chance you can do one for STARDUST or LADYHAWKE?
I liked the part where he ate the teenage daughters corsage.
Hi minty could you do a 10 things you didn't know about space balls, Harry Potter or blood sport
I'll vote for two out three!
Kevin Peter Hall doesn't get nearly the accolades he should for his role as Harry. So many insanely subtle moments with his eyes alone.
i had a jack russel terrier fro 17 years named max because of this flick :P
Peter hall was 7ft 2inches
He's actually 7' 3" but yeah I don't know where minty got 6'6".
@@bigkmoviesandgames I hear he was 7'10"
@@danfred7127 He's not that tall. Lol that would be impressive though. But yeah a Google search says he's 7' 3".
@@bigkmoviesandgames Someone just told me they heard he was 8'2".
@@danfred7127 that would be impressive considering the tallest living person is 8'2" lol. But yeah kevin's 7'3" was still impressive.
Saw it in the cinema upon release. Thought his eyes were too close together
They kind of are but I think that was supposed to add a human dimension to him.
Perhaps, but I’d imagine his eyes were set so close because they needed to align to the man’s eyes under the mask. Also, if they made the head thinner to help the eyes look more appropriately spaced, the head would be too thin for such a large body. Lastly, if they had mad the head thinner, I don’t believe all the facial articulation gadgets would’ve fit/worked properly.
My 2-year-old has me hitting watch again on Netflix literally every single day. She absolutely loves it, and refers to it as "Foot". :)
I grew up in all of the locales, the legends really made my childhood magical.
Harry vs Predator
Round 1
FIGHT!
😂😂😂
Minty, the poster that features Harry and the family in the car is a take on a Norman Rockwell painting. I just figured it out while watching your vid. I wonder if anyone else ever made that connection.
Yes! I adored this movie. No movie will make you feel as good as these kinds of movies from this era.
I really love what they did with the poster showing only harry's eyes holding the flower making people think what kind of movie is that.Also liked the one that shows the broken door in the shape of harry's big body gone out that is the more fun version and still holds close to the same secrecy with the darker poster.This movie is one of my favorites close to E.T. and goonies & such and love how they worked on it as well!
10 Things You Didn't Know About Exit Wounds (2001)

Great as always Minty. Love when you do films i loved as a kid!!
Brilliant film!
Amazing cast!
Kevin brings it all together like no-one else could.
Comparing his movements to his work on Predator is fascinating.
Wait minty did you just say your not Australian????
No he said he moved to Aussie he could of been born and raised in Aussie and moved out of their for a few years
@@jsmith5212 I'll never know since minty don't answer questions anyway!
Sean Connery is Scottish 🏴 not Irish ☘️
I know
I watched this film a couple months ago after nearly 30 years and I was surprised at how much of the film I remembered, considering I was 6 years old the last time I watched the movie. I loved it as much as I did back then, it is heart-warming and hilarious and I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried during it. Definitely a classic film of the 1980s and has something for both children and adults can enjoy.
Minty, thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this one.
This is one "10 things you didn't know" video I never knew I needed.
