The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot

An interesting little peek at a what an absurd sci-fi B-movie would look like if it was made with some care, a little talent, a straight face, and a couple stand up actors. The best part here is pretending that Sam Elliott is playing the same character here as he was in "The Big Lebowski".

This is not the fun, ridiculous romp that you'd expect from such an outrageous premise/title. Instead, it is mostly an old man reflecting on his life, specifically about the love of his life. But there's also the killing of Hitler and Bigfoot, neither of which is very compelling, with the latter just being silly... flying in the face of what the rest of the movie is offering. I can't say that I enjoyed this, I can say I admire it to some degree.

The worst part of this movie is the title. Sam Elliot is a charismatic actor. The story was surprisingly not as ridiculous as the title would imply. But, the pacing is too slow at times, and there are many unremarkable reflections on his past. Also, the plot is sliced up almost haphazardly. The production quality and music were good. Extra points for the fantastic aspects and for having a lot of heart. Worth watching.

Very interesting. I went in expecting one thing and think I saw something different. In need of a re-watch all ready

This movie is great ! Sam Elliott looks like a man who swallowed a lemon. It's hard to think of another actor who could pull this movie off despite the wild movie title. This movie is about mythic american hero and what happens to the man, the individual who is swallowed by that myth and is left with second-guesses and regret. And man in a costume is definitely the way to go forward with the Bigfoot design.
