MST3K - Favorite Moments - Boggy Creek 2: And the legend continues...

In episode 1006 independent movie maker Charles B. Pierce subjects us to a rather hairy, local Arkansas legend in the form of Boggy Creek 2.
A professor (played by Pierce himself) takes three of his students (including Pierces' own rather thinnish looking son whose lack of physique is constantly exposed to our viewing displeasure) on a trip into the wilderness of Arkansas to try to get evidence of the local, hairy Bigfoot, the Boggy Creek monster.
This leads to a movie which primarily consists of watching our protagonists go camping, drive through mud, talk to the local (and equally hairy) hillbilly population, and project other people's stories about their rather unexciting encounters with the creature -- including the "legendary" outhouse poop scene.
This movie basically starts nowhere and insists on taking its unsuspecting audience on a guided tour through it.
Fun facts: Charles B. Pierce is allegedly the writer who coined the famous Dirty Harry phrase "go ahead, make my day" for Sudden Impact, which he has joint writers credit for along with Earl E. Smith.
He passed away on March 5, 2010, and though he didn't exactly express pride for making Boggy Creek 2, he still deserves our thanks.
Not so fun fact: The Boggy Creek monster is actually known as the Fouke monster because of the little town of Fouke where it was allegedly seen back in 1964.
Anyway, look out for Bambi's stepmother, the calling for insane hogs, an unnatural swelling, the inability to regain consciousness when dead, the confirmation of farmers' existence, a castrato, a chunky Rembrandt, a cow blowing a tire, Ron Pearlman, the enjoyment of nature through pollution, a poop emergency, sniffing of arm sweat, the invention of an aphorism, Lucy Braless, the target website, a monster with a camera strapped to its helmet, a guy too thin to hear, belching of the alphabet, a geriatric lifeguard, a skidmark on the ceiling, a couple of river bottoms, the Oval Faubus museum, and exposure of the little creature.
Enjoy!

"I saw the little creature", as Mike and the bots let out a startled sound of disgust.

One of my favorite MST3K moments of all time.

Looks like it was filmed in the early seventies not mid-eighties. I was shocked to find out it was made in 1985.

@heartseed the dvd part surprises me, the drugstore part doesn't.

Wanna know something really sad? A few years ago, I actually saw the DVD for this movie in a drugstore.

"Where's the money, You son of a bitch?!!"

"Well, sir, local superstition is that, come every Lammas Night, Old Boggie walks the streets of the village, knocking on doors and dragging all sinners who answer down to Hell by their garters." or produces a movie with them as cast and crew.
