Trivia
When this film was shown, some movie theaters provided a small informational sheet that had an address where you could order a postcard picture of Bigfoot from the famous Patterson film and you could order a 7" 33 RPM vinyl record of the film's soundtrack. The soundtrack was in stereo and contained 5 tracks. The first track was "High In The Mountains", which was the song played at the end of the film and sung by Lane Caudell. The other 4 tracks were: "Bigfoot Theme" (which had the Bigfoot scream), "Cougar Attack", "The Pack Train" and "Barney's Theme". The 7" soundtrack was distributed by North American Productions. All of these tracks can be heard within the movie. The 7" soundtrack runs 14 minutes.

Goofs
The sound effect used during the grizzly bear fight is very obviously that of growling dogs.

High In The Mountains
By Al Capps & Lane Caudell

Apparently there were a great many folks who thought this flick was a legit documentary and were disappointed when they discovered it was not. Merely a fictitious yarn put forth by B actors, retelling old wivestales about bigfoot. For example, (the supposedly), old mountain man, looks about as comfortable sitting on a mule as a Java caveman would look sitting on a Suzuki. But there are stunning views of the Pacific Northwest wilderness and the mountain lion attack is well done considering the lack of special effects.

In truth, there are very few chills and thrills even with strange, compelling music that unfailingly announces the imminent appearance of the Hairy One.
