While returning from a trip in the woods, George Henderson (John Lithgow) and his family run into something with their car that turns out to be a Sasquatch. Thinking the creature is dead, they take him home, but “Harry” (Kevin Peter Hall) soon awakens. Despite their initial fears, Harry is a kind and sensitive being, and the Hendersons become very fond of him. However, it is difficult to keep him a secret, and soon they begin to fear for Harry’s safety.
This week’s Cool Thing to Buy is a classic from 1987 that’s been re-released on DVD. During it’s run in the theater, Harry and the Henderson pulled in $30 million and another $20 in Foreign markets. Not bad considering it was a summer of comedy releases that included Roxanne, Dragnet, Spaceballs, The Witches of Eastwick, Adventures in Babysitting, Innerspace, Revenge of the Nerds II, all within the same month.
You can pick up your copy of Harry & the Hendersons right here.
