After the genial, beloved TV host of the popular wildlife show "Strange Wilderness" passes on to the great nature special in the sky, his son Peter Gaulke takes over the series--and things are never the same. Ignorant, bumbling and blissfully unaware of his own lack of talent, Pete sprinkles his documentary narrations with dubious factoids. When the ratings sink to an all-time low and the show is about to be canceled, Pete and his filmmaking partner Fred Wolf realize they have to come up with "something big" to save the series. It looks like they've hit the jackpot when Pete lucks into a map of the legendary Bigfoot's secret cave. But when the clueless producer leads his ragtag crew to the wilds of Central America to film the elusive beast, they encounter a string of disasters.
Because I see so many movies, ultimately, I see a lot of really bad movies. Every once in awhile a movie comes along that is so bad that it makes otherwise normal bad movies seem to be Oscar contenders. Strange Wilderness (SW) is that bad. SW is one of the most amateur-ish made films I've ever seen. Often times the camera is off-centered and the actors don't seem to know what to do on screen. Although I'm sure SW cost nearly nothing to make in Hollywood terms...One has to wonder if the embarrassment of participating in this film won't hover over the actors, directors, and producers for the remainder of their careers. Jamie says "0".

I stand by my review...unfortunately, it won't make a lot of "worst of lists" because it was such a bad movie that it was forgotten as quickly as it left the theater after one week of screen time.
