Special makeup effects artist Rick Baker says that Harry is his greatest and favorite character that he created.
While in makeup Kevin Peter Hall's already immense height (7'2) was increased to over eight feet. This is evidenced by John Lithgow (who stands at 6'4") when he stands next to Hall.
The filmmakers kept Harry a secret prior to the film's release - only glimpses of him were shown on all publicity materials and theatrical trailers. Although a wise decision for the film, this was also blamed for the film not being more successful than it actually was due to it not selling the fact that a Bigfoot was the star of the film. As a result, the film was renamed 'Bigfoot & the Hendersons' in many overseas territories, and much of the artwork now featured Harry also. The film however has reverted back to its original title in the DVD and Blu ray age.
According to Rick Baker, he based the design of Harry off of orangutans, particularly Harry's beard.
Harry puts the "mouse" woman on her car after she passed out because he thinks that's what humans do with their injured, based on his own experience with the Hendersons' station wagon.
"Sarah Henderson: Where's the roast? George Henderson: I'll go get it. Nancy Henderson: The roast is resting in a shallow unmarked grave in the backyard. George Henderson: Oh. Well, there's plenty of other stuff. Dr. Wallace Wrightwood: Are you vegetarians? George Henderson: Sometimes. It depends on the guest."
"George Henderson: We've got some big guns and some big-big guns but I'm afraid I'm all out of big-big ammo!"
