"Yeti - Giant of the 20th Century" Italian Cinema

(youdiejoe)
1 decade 6 years 3 months ago

This film was made in 1977 and was a "rip-off" of the King Kong 70's remake. It's all there kids, Yeti, kids, dogs, beautiful women and soundtrack lifted directly from Carmina Burana.

I had the great fortune to watch this film in it's entirety this evening, as part of Cinefamily (http://www.silentmovietheatre.com/) here in Los Angeles. Holy COW! So awesomely bad! I haven't laughed that hard for a long long time.

Here is the very well written synopsis from Cinefamily's web site:

Yeti: The Giant of the 20th Century
Since the much-hyped 1976 version of King Kong didn’t have enough disco music, spaghetti western director Gianfranco Parolini rectified that problem one year later with this madcap imitation, which plays out like the RKO monster classic on a mix of black market hormone supplements and brown acid. The titular snow creature spends the film’s first third thawing – slowly, oh so slowly – giving the gorgeous Anotella Interlenghi (The Gates of Hell) plenty of time to gaze longingly at his giant, dripping frame. That is one sexy Yeti! Coming off like a typical horny Italian hippie, only 50 feet tall and perpetually confused, the Yeti’s piercing blue eyes, wind-blown locks and pulsating nipples the size of a Buick will soften your heart – until the carnage begins. A film that doesn’t take “no budget” for an answer, Yeti is the only big goofy monster movie that actually feels…well, sleazy. Value-added bonuses: the film’s score, which borrows heavily from “Carmina Burana”, and the funked-out end credits theme, in which “The Yetians” (no joke) wail “We are evil, but not the Yeti – we are selfish, but not the Yeti…
Dir: Gianfranco Parolini, 1977, 16mm, 118 min.
