2014’s Bigfoot vs DB Cooper tells what happens when a bunch of shirtless frat boy types go turkey hunting in the Washington wilderness in 1971.  One of them is planning on getting married and this weekend is going to be their last chance to all get together and stare at each other in their underwear.  One-by-one, each member of the group strips down to his underwear and then poses with his rifle and then flexes in front of a mirror.  Finally, the groom takes a shower and starts to….

What?

You’re right.  This is indeed a David DeCoteau film.

Now, the title is not a lie.  Bigfoot is in the movie and receives a “….as himself” credit.  He’s big and covered in red fur and he spends a lot of time voyeuristically watching the frat boys while they run around the woods in their underwear.  His dialogue consists of growls and I will admit that I smiled whenever the captioning read, “GROWLING!”

D.B. Cooper is also in the film.  The film gives us the details of skyjacking and his subsequent jump into the night over Washington.  In this film, he lands just in time for a climatic fight with Bigfoot.  Of course, that fight last for one minute and it features Cooper saying, “The most successful skyjacking in aviation history can’t end like this!”

That said, the film is mostly just a collection of scenes featuring the handsome but oddly sexless frat boys wandering around in their underwear and standing in front of mirrors.  The camera lingers on them to such an extent that it almost starts to feel like David DeCoteau is intentionally parodying himself.  For the record, I’ve enjoyed quite a few DeCoteau films.  I love the “Wrong” films that he’s done with Vivica A. Fox.  He’s a director who is willing to embrace the melodrama and who has a good sense of humor and healthy self-awareness about the films that he’s making.  (And again, I think it can be argued that there’s some intentional self-parody at work in this one.)  Unfortunately, Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper is incredibly dull.

Eric Roberts and Linnea Quigley are top-billed, though neither actually appears on screen.  Roberts narrates the film and talks about Vietnam.  Quigley provides the voice of the unseen flight attendant who speaks to D.B. Cooper.
