Bigfoot / Piedone

[János Székely]

It just occured to me how close Bigfoot is in appearance and manners -
not to the Rockies' yeti but to another bearlike law-and-order
character, Piedone ("Flatfoot", literally "Big foot") a.k.a. Inspector
Rizzo from the Italian movie series. Those films shot somewhat later
in the 1970s, after the IV period, and I don't know how widely they
were shown in the U.S. But the actor, Bud Spencer (Carlo Pedersoli)
was also featured in TV commercials. A-and "his entry method of
choice" was rather similar. Coincidence or anachronism?
