I in no way call this "mediocre"; Its just a flat our terrible low budget bullshit film that the director made as an excuse to hang out with shirtless dudes.

But years ago the guys at Red Letter Media did a segment on "Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper", and that premise alone (what happened after D.B. Cooper landed) has lived in my brain ever since.

It legitimately angers me that such a great high concept idea was completely wasted on what basically amounts to gay porn.

Yep. And therein lies my frustration.

David Decoteau (or he'll sometimes use his alias "Richard Chasen") stole the perfect premise for what could have been a great shlocky low-to-mid-budget action movie. And no NO ONE can ever make it without being compared with....that....whatever it is....
