Random Trivia For This Title:

  • After Harry sees George on the News Reports, as the police car crashes into the television shop, a Vince and Larry (the Crash Dummies) commercial plays.
  • According to cryptozoologist [?] Loren Coleman, some characters in the film are based to varying degrees on actual figures in the search for Sasquatch. "Jacques LaFleur" (David Suchet) is a nod to the late Canadian [?] Rene Dahinden, and "Dr. Wallace Wrightwood" (Don Ameche) combines some qualities of [?] John Green, [?] Peter Byrne and the late [?] Dr. Grover Krantz.
  • Bill Martin, who co-wrote the screenplay for Harry and the Hendersons, wrote songs for Harry Nilsson's [Harry] album and is pictured (wearing a bear suit) inside the album's cover. Martin says that the character "Harry" in the film is named after Harry Nilsson.
