Jon Olsen has discovered the key for guaranteed laughter.
You see, rape isn't funny. But if you have Sasquatch as the rapist...let
the laughs begin. This leads me to think that perhaps adding the
Squatch to any situation or task, completely devoid of any humor,
would make it funny. Sasquatch going through chemotherapy. Sasquatch
standing in line at the welfare office. Sasquatch getting injured
in a ten car pile-up. Sasquatch doing taxes. Hmmm...it just might
work. It certainly did for Jon Olsen in the first ever rape comedy
Ape Canyon... more

It’s the best damn Sasquatch movie
ever made! We open up on a young woman, alone in the woods, hanging
out in her tent reading a teenybopper magazine. She’s suddenly
interrupted by a fearsome howl and then we see him – what’s supposed
to be Sasquatch in this movie is actually one of the flimsiest,
rattiest gorilla suits you’ve ever seen. But this doesn’t stop the
young woman from being scared shitless as Sasquatch tries to claw
his way into her tent…with his rubber gorilla gloves. She manages to
break free and runs through the woods as if the Squatch were hot on
her tail. He isn’t of course. He’s gotten himself entangled in the
tent, flailing about like a retarded baby. But, only a moment later,
he’s upon our damsel in distress and proceeds to rape her, with her
jeans on even. We’ll just imagine that the Squatch has a dick
almighty that can rip through denim like a beaver through a box of
crackers…

After 35 years of Bigfoot movies, my favorite to this
day is still "The Legend of Boggy Creek," the docudrama
based on the Fouke Monster from the swamps and bogs of southwestern
Arkansas.
The people in Fouke, Ark., who had seen the monster in real life,
were used as the actors in the movie, with amazing midnight-movie
cult-film results.
Jon Olsen of San Francisco apparently didn't get the memo about
the era of the Sasquatch movie being past its heyday, so he took
cameras into the wilds of the Armstrong State Preserve in Humboldt
County, Calif., to do the first Bigfoot Love Story or, uh, Bigfoot
Sexual Assault Story...

RAPE ISN'T FUNNY - Except when Bigfoot's Doing It
An interview with JON OLSEN, director of Ape Canyon
Ape Canyon is guaranteed to be the funniest Bigfoot-rape comedy
you'll see this year. The fact that it is likely the only Bigfoot-rape
comedy ever made shouldn't dampen your enthusiasm. I hardly ever
laugh out loud at movies, even when I find them funny, but Ape Canyon
had me guffawing-literally, I was sitting around guffawing-even
after repeated screenings. Although filmed with a hand-held camera
on almost no budget, it features some of the best ensemble comedy
acting I've ever seen. Within the first few seconds, the film's
infectious silliness overwhelmed me with the force of a sexual assault
by Sasquatch...

The New and Improved Axis of Evil™, Part 0 of -18
AXIS OF EVIL ™ RANKINGS (updated)
1) North Korea
2) Michael Jackson (NEW)
3) Bigfoot (NEW)
Iraq and Iran have been knocked off the list, as quite honestly,
their Power Ranking is very low and they just haven't been performing
on the level that analysts had once claimed. North Korea has launched
itself into the number one position by repeatedly displaying signs
of outright insanity and suffering from Goofy Mouth Syndrome in
worldwide newscasts. Two up and coming sensations have aggressively
moved in to overtake the number two and three slots, marking the
first time that the Axis of Evil ™ has had a majority of rookies.
Michael Jackson has been scaring the world shitless for over a decade
now, and many industry insiders previously suggested Jackson would
have his time to "shine in the light" this year. Bigfoot
wasn't originally considered to be a viable candidate for a top
three ranking, but he got a powerful push when I recently received
a pre-screening VHS copy of the movie "Ape Canyon: The Story
of Bigfoot, North America's Greatest Lover." To be honest,
I don't think anybody could've predicted the Sasquatch's sudden
rise to power, but this movie shattered all expectations and helped
fuel its joyride to position number three on the updated Axis of
Evil ™ rankings. Let's now take a look at these three superpowers...more
