MST3K had several hits and a lot of misses in its years on the air. In their last season they had some of their best episodes, including Boggy Creek II. First, this movie is awful; I'm a native Arkansan and I've never heard of the Boggy Creek monster except in films.The movie is about a University of Arkansas professor who takes his students into the swamps to find the legendary "Boggy Creek Monster." They encounter supposedly comic adventures in the swamp and then find the creature and its off-spring being tormented by a crazy hillbilly. Charles B. Pierce acts, directs and basically does the whole movie himself. The amateurishness of it all is funny and the ripping on the film is very funny and topical. The skits are generally funny including the "fires" and "whittling." The whole Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy thing was dead by this time anyway and a waste of time.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues (1999)
Charles B. Pearce created one of the biggest drive-in hits with THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK and followed it up with the cult favorite THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN but sadly he went on to make another Boggy Creek film and then the film under review here. The MST3K gang got a hold of BOGGY CREEK II: AND THE LEGEND CONTINUES, which certainly deserves the ripping as it's quite bad (and it wasn't even the second film in the series!).
If you're a fan of the show then there's no doubt that you'll love this episode but even if you're lukewarm on the show like I am, it's almost impossible not to enjoy what you get here. Perhaps it's because I'm from Kentucky but I loved all the jokes about the backwood rednecks and especially the sequence in the film dealing with he groceries and payment. There are some hilarious jokes told here but the highlight has to be the jokes told when the Bigfoot creature jumps on one man's back.
