Despite the fact Rick Dyer said he was leaving the Bigfoot community, he had a radio show last night. I'm not exactly sure what he meant by leaving the community he was never part of, only Rick knows that. A caller named Brad called in to talk to Dyer and he wasn't happy. You see, Brad caught Rick in a contradiction, and a blatant one at that. The caller accused Dyer of lying about facts and Freezer Boy denied the accusations. It all revolves around the transport of Hank after the "killing". The first part of the video is a bit long but I wanted to make sure I included as much as possible.
Is this the real face of Hank? Just recently a video was posted by Stacy Brown Jr. and it appears this may be all over for Rick Dyer. "Dude told me that he was there for the filming of the tent video," says Stacy.I have no idea who Stacy got the video from but it's compelling. Unfortunately, without a name and/or lengthy back story it's difficult to nail this one shut. The evidence is damning for Rick though. Hank was described as having heavy scarring and the above mask seems to show just that. Here is Stacy's video and a link. Stacy is an honest to goodness researcher and a stand up guy. I will take the words of an honest man over those of a known hoaxer any day. After watching the video, I thought the face looked familiar and it didn't take me long to find what I was looking for.
The above rendering was created by Daz, an avid and vocal supporter of Dyer's. As far as I know Daz has not stated how he created the image. A person suggested to me this is "3/4 artistic rendition". If that is the case, why bother posting it? That just means it's 75% fake. Some people should think before they debate. It appears Daz took the photo on the left and blended it with the one on the right.In fact, the photo on left dominates whatever was underneath on the right.
I was originally going to compare these two photos but there is a good chance Daz made a composite picture using the mask photo. I am now going to compare the Hank photo posted by FB/FB to the mask photo instead.
I see a few similarities between the movie still and the caveman mask.
1.) Bulbous nose. 2.) Same chubby area near mouth. 3.) Downward curve under lip. Thick lower lip.Thin upper lip. 4.) Very similar, if not identical cheek line.
I decided to grab another still from the video, the one of the alleged suit. If this suit is known to exist in other footage, please let me know. I have not seen this one before. The very first thing that catches my eye is the body is more auburn than the entire head . The face and hair look washed out compared to the bright body. Notice the long flowing biker type hair.
Does this guy look familiar to anyone? Let's compare faces as best as possible.
Both "Bigfoot" have a high hair line, round nose, facial hair, and long hair past the shoulders. These two look very much alike. I noticed something else in the full body shot. Is the Bigfoot carrying something? Possibly a camcorder?
If this is in fact the suit used to hoax the tent video, who is wearing it? Who took the photo of the dude in the suit? Why does it look like Bigfoot is holding a camcorder? The hair colour of the body also bears a strong resemblance to this photo that Rick photoshopped.
Notice the hair around the neck is different than the auburn arm. It closely matches the still in Stacy's video. My question is this; who is taking a photo of themself while wearing a Bigfoot costume? Just a few things to ponder. Here's one more for you to think about: Bigfoot Blogger
There is so much going on since the release of 'Shooting Bigfoot. Some people have jumped ship (rightfully so) on Dyer, some are explaining away the movie as a diabolical plot by the director, and some are questioning the editing and directing skills. Most of the reviews so far say nothing of the discovery of a Bigfoot, dead or otherwise. Most tweets I have read say the movie is a "hoot", "hilarious" and "fun". These are not words I would expect to see describing a serious film about the killing of a Bigfoot. Rick Dyer said, in his own words, there would be 3 minutes of clear HD footage of the "monster" he shot. Once again, this didn't pan out for Dyer. In fact none of the story has really panned out. His fans seem to forget or neglect to bring up the interview that was supposed to happen with CNN during sweeps week. What happened? The film was going to premiere at Tribeca according to Dyer and he was adamant about that. What happened? Rick said he would release the body after the film festiavl and people would not have to wait. He said this many, many times. Now the release has been pushed to August 15/3013. Why the hell for? Is membership low? Not enough cash for the Corvette yet? Rick's story grew with each passing radio show. What started out as a dead Bigfoot grew in to this creature with "extra nostrils" or slits on each side of the nose. It has double rows of teeth and it's jaw can open more. Some described it kind of like a snake but that's an analogy. Rick never said hinged jaw or anything similar. All he did was create a Bigfoot that really doesn't follow the "normal" description of a Bigfoot. Rick and his followers say the film showed everything Rick said it would. Really? Where is the 3 minutes of clear HD footage? Where does the film show him killing a Bigfoot? I still maintain my position, this is nothing but a money grabbing hoax being extended until the entire house of cards comes crashing down. That's my opinion and if by some miracle I'm wrong, I will own it. Dyer has provided plenty of lip service. it's time to put away the excuses of why things don't come to fruition. It's time to put up or shut up. Now that I have a few things off my chest I'll post a few videos most of you have seen, but we'll have them all together, all cozy like. Here is the interview with Morgan Matthews:
Next up we have Mr. J.R. Dobbs, the man with boots on the ground doing interviews with the homeless people in the area. I like Mr. Dobbs' style, he let's people tell their story without interrupting them or spoon feeding answers. Here is Part 9: J.R. Bob Dobbs Jr.
I have no idea what's up with these guys. They gave a scathing review of the documentary. Then they questioned the editing of the film 'Shooting Bigfoot'.
Here are our many discussion points & questions concerning "Shooting Bigfoot"
WHY did Morgan Matthews use creative editing to manipulate the film's real events? In one of the final scenes on the flight home, Morgan looks terrible, physically and mentally beat up. His eye is completely blackened by what was a tremendous force hitting him or the camera, giving him a cut as well as the shiner. You get the distinct impression that Morgan Matthews does not know what to think, he does not know what reality is, was this an elaborate hoax by Rick and this mystery man? Was it a Sasquatch?
However, Morgan by now DOES know the answer. It's either real or fake. So why leave it up to the audience to decide?
Other questions thoughts about the film/documentary.
1. The video is very compelling and shocked the audience. The first viewing was a flash maybe .3 seconds. The second viewing was at the end of a rewind sequence and the face was shown again for maybe 2 seconds. Certainly not enough time to do any analysis. The group is extremely disappointed it was not head to toe video of a Sasquatch either alive or dead.
2. The face that is shown in 10 frames was 15 feet high and 12 feet wide on the screen. The image is in black and white and the 2 frames it is clear. We have never heard a crowd react like that, almost primal.
3. Is it the face of a Sasquatch? Well it depends on your point of view. In our opinion it fits perfectly with a human ancestor theory. A long upper lip, a human-shaped pushed in nose, massive cheek bones and jaw, thick hair around the neck. Conversely, If you believe that Sasquatch is an ape-like Gigantopithecus, this would not confirm your belief.
4. Following that Face image, A two second clip of the camper video is shown, saying Rick Dyer had filmed better video of the creature. Then a picture of Rick ranting (w/ DJ Bashers) from November of last year is shown. Why show a post night of the filming perspective if you are not willing to disclose all the information you have.
5. Another question we all had is... if Morgan filmed a body after the event, why didn't he show that in this film? This would be a higher grossing movie instead of a low grade B movie that goes straight to Netflix and Hulu. Did his investors in this movie (BBC and Tribeca film council) make decisions on this film?
6. Does the video prove that it is a guy in a suit? Absolutely not. Could it be a suit? Possibly. The video is too quick, too dark, too strange. But everyone agrees that the face images do not look like a mask, it is certainly like no mask we have ever seen.
7. If it is a real Bigfoot. We would rank this video at #10 of all time. It is the closest film of a Sasquatch by far... taken at maybe 3 feet. The image is terrifying. The lips are wide, eyes are wide, nose is wide, it appears much taller and much more powerful that Morgan Matthews. In order for this to be confirmed there would need to be a body, it cannot be possible to have a more controversial image.
8. The film is a cliff-hanger of monumental proportions and definitely leaves it open for another film.
9. The ending of the movie shows Morgan confused "hoax or real" he is asking himself, but if he knows what is true (and is faking) wouldn't he be committing a reverse hoax on everyone? If he knows the answer he should tell everyone in the film. If he has film of the creature, he should absolutely show it. If he knows it is real then he should absolutely say so. If he's been hoaxed, he should be more clear about that as well. He is now caught in a trap just like any witness his credibility is now on the line.
10. The film opens with Ivan Marx, the infamous hoaxer, and the many ridiculous films he took of men and women in suits. It then shows Rick and Matt Whitten, contrasting their story with Tom Biscardi's story of the 2008 hoax. Biscardi is shown as unethical and mean spirited. Dallas and Wayne are lovable. Rick Dyer is lonely and determined for redemption.
11. After listening to the voice of Morgan Matthews throughout the movie, including him saying "Rick Rick, Rick, Rick, Rick" in an evening shot. The voice in the #2 Camper/Tent video is definitely Morgan Matthews. This lends great credibility to the video. The face of the "Sasquatch" that Morgan shows and the end "Shooting Bigfoot" matches the face of the second clip taken by Dyer, except it is in Black and White and turned sideways.
12. Why not show the ribs being nailed to tree? What was up with the ribs in the tent covered with ants? What is up with the truck with the tarp in the back, is it imagery'? Why did Morgan film himself terrified in his tent? There must be at least a half a dozen people associated with Minnow who have knowledge of the events (not to mention people on the expedition) How can they all be quiet?
13. Morgan seems genuinely confused and distraught in the film. Why? Rick Dyer is hell bent on shooting something, he tells Morgan to stay away from the end of the gun, he is loading real bullets into the gun.
14. Everyone knows the power of special effects and any film can not prove the existence of a creature so controversial as a Sasquatch. The explanation for why Sasquatch make sense is far more important than the proof. Unlike Morgan's other documentaries, this film does not try to answer questions but rather makes one feel lost, almost like he gave up on the film.
This film asks so many more questions than it answers.
-FBFB
This post by FB/FB on their page seems like a scramble to save face. Once again the "experts" confirm this as a genuine Sasquatch. Just remember these are the same group that confirmed a kid dressed up was a Bigfoot, and the blowing leaf was a tippy toeing Sasquatch. The boys don't say how they obtained this HD footage but I have been told there is a pirated copy making it's way around the Dyer people. They are the only ones who apparently have the film, so unless Morgan Matthews sent them some clips, one or more of these people committed piracy. I'm almost at a loss for words, you have to read it for yourselves.
#1/84 "The Matthews Dyer Night Footage" The entire authentication committee spent the last 24 hours slowing down and analyzing the three clips of Sasquatch in "Shooting Bigfoot".
“Matthews/Dyer Night Video” We have analyzed and debated the merit and knowledge gained from the three short clips in “Shooting Bigfoot” that show the Sasquatch. We all agree, definitely not a mask. Confirms on all points. This is the closest video of a Sasquatch to date, at just 4 to 6 feet. The video is shocking but needs to be viewed frame by frame to appreciate and authenticate. It is by far the most frightening of all videos. We were first angry with the belittling tone of “Shooting Bigfoot”, hell bent on mockery, but Matthews did not write a script and have them read it, they said it themselves. But these short clips are remarkable, showing, speed, power and size, no wonder a Sasquatch can not be caught alive.
We had hoped to see a definitive proof in this film and were gravely disappointed. Later, we received the HD clips and watched them frame by frame. it became obvious the clips had great merit. We feel it necessary that everyone knows this is a real Sasquatch. The face matches #2 Camper and posthumous descriptions. There is only one logical explanation for the facial characteristics. (Heavy brow, wide hooded nose, lips, cheeks, square jaw) After watching it several thousand times it ranks #1. We will not publish an authentication of the video. -FB/FB
This is only 1/8 of a single frame of the Sasquatch shown in the “Shooting Bigfoot” and does not show the body, arm, legs, hair etc. it shows the lips, nose, chin and cheekbones.. It is shown for educational and research purposes under fair use laws.
This is what happens when you disagree with a cult leader. Looks like Dyer had a hissyfit and got out his big bad ban hammer. I say Shawn O'Reilly is much better off because of this. The FB/FB guys and their crew managed to grab an HD still (blurry) of "Hank". I don't know who or what the hell that is, but it sure doesn't look like the "Hank" in the tent video. This is what we were presented with today:
This looks nothing like these:
I have no idea how FB/FB managed to confirm the film still as Hank, but they did.The face looks more human than anything else and not like the skeery monster Dyer has portrayed.
I had a post I was going to put together tonight, but then I came across this gem. The author puts in to words what we have been thinking. The Dyer supporters and FB/FB can try to spin this in any direction they want but the fact of the matter is the film does not show what Rick claimed it would. Freezer Boy can keep saying "it's out of my control" all day long but that weak excuse was worn out after the press conference that never happened. What about the CNN interview during sweeps week? That never happened. What about the film being shown at Tribeca? Um, that never happened. Where is the body Dyer promised to produce right after the film? Gee...that never happened BUT, the body will be shown August 15th. That's 3 1/2 months from now. You know we won't see a real dead Bigfoot. Rick keeps saying everything he has said to this point in time has been validated. Seriously? Why do people have so many questions then? Here is a video by "Ruck" trying to perform damage control, and failing in my opinion.
"Editors Notes > Disappointment reigns across the Bigfoot community this morning not just because the movie Shooting Bigfoot was not what was advertised in the months leading up to it’s premiere, but many like myself were secretly hoping that finally the ultimate question whether bigfoot is real might finally be settled. But what I see as the dust settles this morning after is a community gut punched one more time by a man who enjoys it so much. Rick Dyer and his supporters knew all along what this movie ending was like but they decided to take this community and the poor souls that sent him hundreds of dollars to be part of this farce"
Several bloggers have a head start on this story so I'll share all the links here. Tonight has been fast and furious. I have been busy with friends on Facebook watching Dyer's "Celebration" show. Most of us had multiple tabs open trying to gain any information from movie goers. Bigfoot Evidence has several posts with updates and information points to a hoax. You will need to read the posts Shawn has up to get the full effect. Next up we have Steve Kulls. As many of you know, Mr. Kulls has taken a severe bashing from Dyer lately, an undeserved bashing at that. All we want is the truth. Here is what Steve has to say: Survey Says.........HOAX The Crypto Crew has joined the crowd and put up a post here. TCC some time ago was of the opinion that Dyer had indeed killed a Bigfoot, but it looks like their opinions may have changed. Check out their site to find out what they have to say about this entire farce(my words), not theirs. So far FB/FB have been silent. They were tweeting all day about their trip, customs, dinner etc. then it went quiet after the film. Some people were not quiet and were busy tweeting:
I was busy watching the celebration show and it was interesting, even if Rick wasn't there for most of it. Rick finally got on the show and things got heated. Things got heated and people were demanding answers. Dyer looked visibly shaken and distraught. He was at a loss for words and his face was red. All of a sudden there were audio problems and Rick eventually got it fixed (or turned on again), then the show just stopped as if someone yanked the plug out of the wall. I'll add the video tomorrow, it's currently uploading. I missed the first part of the show however. Rick did say the body will be released August 15th. That's another 2 1/2 months. Does he think people will stick around that long?
Many of us in the Bigfoot community are aware of the Bigfoot Police and the videos he/she produces. bigfootpolice has been around since the 2008 Georgia hoax...probably before that. The tag line on the YouTube channel says it all; "Our goal is to expose hoaxers" Lately the Bigfoot Police has come back to share more videos with us regarding the latest Dyer not embalmed-not-frozen-somehow-magically-preserved-dead-Bigfoot hoax. Today bigfootpolice posted a video that clearly shows Rick being the hypocrite most of us know he is. It shows Dyer contradicting himself. Freezer Boy has stated numerous times that he is not a racist and he is tolerant to all people regardless of their colour, religion and/or sexual orientation. I won't get in to names, but there have been many times that Rick has subtly made fun of a friend of mine for being gay, and he lets his groupies post anti-gay commentary. Dyer also had an anti-Muslim video up until he swept his channel clean.
Rick Dyer is also intolerant of ANYONE who disagrees with his claims that he shot and killed a Bigfoot and he viciously attacks any person posting anything negative about him, especially when the posts are based in FACT. Sure, Rick makes weak excuses for what he's said in the past and unfortunately some gullible people believe him. Most of us however do not. Rick has done nothing in the past five years to redeem himself. He has done nothing to change his ways.
This brings me back to bigfootpolice and the video that was posted today. The video posted was based on facts any person can read, yet the video was pulled by YouTube. My guess is either Dyer, his thugs or both initiated this. They are likely upset because FB/FB had their own channel shut down for copyright infringement......once again, blamed on the "haters".
I have uploaded the video with permission so everyone can watch it. If you have a downloader, please download the video. If you have a YouTube channel, post the video.

I know, I know. I have been posting quite a few reviews lately, but these are important reminders for future reference. At least I think so at any rate. I came across this review and the last review thanks to some friends on Facebook and I want to share this with anyone who is interested. NOW rates documentaries much like the "stars" system except they use "N". The ratings are out of four N's, four being the highest, or best rating.
'Shooting Bigfoot' managed to garner a two out of four according to the reviewer.
This review is very short compared to previous ones but it's worth posting. Here is what was said about the documentary:
Review ByNorm WilnerNOW Rating: NN
Less a documentary than a good old-fashioned freak show, Morgan Matthews's BBC documentary follows a bunch of American hayseeds in search of the elusive Sasquatch. One of them, notorious hoaxer Rick Dyer (who once tried to pass off a monster suit filled with offal as a Bigfoot corpse), takes Matthews on a night-vision cryptid hunt that turns into a half-baked spin on The Blair Witch Project. I guess it's technically a documentary in that Matthews is filming real people in real environments, but by the time the movie reaches its (supposedly) shocking ending, it's something else. Imagine the perpetually hapless Nick Broomfield remaking The Mysterious Monsters. Note: it's co-presented by the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, which should give you a sense of its primary appeal.
