[@garrettpeck4437]

Saw this one in the theatre as a kid and loved it. It was one of the first Jaws rip-offs. I read the novelization too and loved the bit where the bear thinks of bullets as "the invisible fang."

[@chaosboxproductions-scotti7153]

I love this film. Its violent, gritty and I found it actually quite scary.

[@toonbat]

Halfway through this video, I was fully convinced that the movie's big reveal was gonna be that the killer was actually some crazy mountaineer with a fake bear paw glove.

[@tracynewberry2937]

I was a parks superintendent and ranger for many years. Dealt with some bad situations, I do appreciate this film...one of my favorites, there are several things I would have done differently here as Chief Ranger.

[@jacksonknightproductions8697]

In real life, Teddy the Bear as a real giant, at 11 feet 5 inches. Despite his size he was obedient like a dog and rarely was ever aggressive.

[@userAliceAfton]

And I Also Know That They Had To Throw Marshmallows At it To Get The Bear To Open it's Mouth 🥧🥧🥧🥧🌹🌹🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🧋🧋🧋🧋🧋🧋🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍪🍪🍪

[@WeeBay221]

I read that the creators of Resident Evil/Bio-Hazard were inspired to kill the final bosses in the games with a rocket launcher because of this movie. Thanks Grizzly!

[@ShadeWMD]

They blew up a bear with a bazooka. lol

[@leadvendor]

A bearzooka!

[@reedschneider6587]

they shoulda used a exploding bear trap

[@SonicfanTheNightfury5099]

HAHAHAHA XD

[@ChrisWilliams-zz1kt]

Smile you son of a BOOM! 7:41

[@stuartbagley2586]

Rocket launcher from the ground. It’s the only way to be sure.

[@guibox3]

LOL!!! Woman gets her arm ripped off and a little kid gets his leg ripped off!! You don't see that in today's PG movies! I LOVE these reviews. They make me guffaw out loud all the time! :)

[@GoodBadFlicks]

guibox3 Thanks! Glad you are enjoying them :)

[@DVincentW]

In reality, a grizzly initially goes for the guts and rib cage in food. Where the Heart is.

[@CorbCorbin]

PG in the 70s, could get away with a lot.

[@Ikusabe]

The opening music reminds me of those Marlboro commercials back in the day when they were still allowed on air.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

9:14-9:48 Suzanne Nagy, the producer of *"Grizzly II",* not too long ago, found a 35mm copy of the film in a lab and restored & re-edited it with new additional footage. It now goes by the title of *"Grizzly II: Revenge".* Hate to say this, but it was a massive letdown; especially for me, since I had high hopes for this famous lost film. Despite clearly having minor roles, they credited George Clooney, Laura Dern and Charlie Sheen first in the opening credits, instead of a "Introducing" credit at the end of the cast list. They even used quick clips from *"JAWS 2"* for the Grizzly getting electrocuted to death!

[@Adam-qv2bd]

I have to admit the growling sounds are unsettling.

[@Horrorfreak106]

Yep, yet another PG movie that has blood, gore, and even some nudity. Awesome.

[@GoatPopsicle]

Horrorfreak106 This was before PG-13 came in existence, and this obviously didn’t deserve an R-rating. they never showed the actual attacks(they just show the kid being dropped after the attack), and that’s usually the cut off between the two today.

[@Leonard1977ful]

Jaws was pretty similar and so were it's sequels.

[@mihirlavande]

I first saw this movie with just a single phrase in my mind: "Because Bear". Glad to say I wasn't disappointed when I learnt you shared kind of the same viewpoint!

[@bakumeekbakumeek3738]

I was a kid when this movie came out and my whole family saw it in the theater and it scared the HELL out of me. A week after seeing this my family went camping in the woods, I didn't sleep the whole time. THANKS ALOT DAD.😫

[@DiarraHarris]

3:49 I just love that guys expression. Why hasn't it become a meme yet?

[@chrisadams7282]

Watched this at the Cinema as part of a Double Feature with The Gumball Rally in 77, Wow 40 years ago

[@Adam-qv2bd]

Damn, I was born in 77. I know this movie as a jaws copy.

[@GENERAL9612]

I just love your sense of humor in these videos.

[@stlouisrocker100]

6:31 you won't see that in a PG movie today. Lousy soccer moms.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

***** I still find it funny that the ones who grew up with this are the ones who are fighting against it

[@stlouisrocker100]

***** Too right

[@CorbCorbin]

PG in the 70s could get away with a lot, due to the violence that became so much more prevalent.

[@GoatPopsicle]

GoodBadFlicks it wasn’t really them. It was the Clergy in the US. They were given prominent roles in the MPAA board, because of pressure from Ronald and Nancy Reagan. You can see a clear delineation in movie ratings in the early-mid-80s, when their people came into power.

[@GoatPopsicle]

Also. The absence of PG-13 made a huge difference. This would easily be a 13 now, and the absence of them showing the actual attacks, would keep it from being an R.

[@invasion83]

Holy smokes. The most nightmare-inducing "PG" movie. That last clip! Parental Guidance, indeed!

[@MultiSuperguy101]

And just when I thought the 1979 film Prophecy (which is also about a giant bear monster attacking people) was the most graphic PG movie I've ever seen there's this which is more graphic.

[@Leonard1977ful]

I agree. Prophecy was pretty tame to this one.

[@siegeofdarkness8212]

I live in Tahoe, and while I wouldn't say I'm afraid of bears, (and we don't have grizzly bears) I've seen enough up close- and I mean REALLY close- to know the scariest thing about bears is not only how big they are... But how utterly silently they stalk about when their meer presence seems as though it should be accompanied by an earth shattering earthquake

[@sarlaccstapeworm990]

Wow,, I actually live in Rabun county Georgia... The movie doesn't do it any justice though. It's BEAUTIFUL here!! Especially during the Autumn! With the leaves turning colors on the trees,, shades of yellow, orange, and red... At certain times of the day, sometimes it almost looks like the mountains here are on FIRE!! We even get what we call "leaf lookers" that come to north Georgia (from all over the country) that back up the traffic for MILES!! Tourist that aren't lucky enough to have such a beautiful view wherever it is that they're from.... Two BIG THUMBS WAY UP for Rabun county Georgia!! 👍👍

[@CaptainCanuck1975]

I remember trying to get in to the theater to see this, but I was too young; I always thought the poster was really scary. Finally saw the movie recently on Amazon Prime. It was watchable, and Richard Jaekel gave a fun performance. Very tame by today's standards, obviously.

[@GoBayside]

@1:22 bear wrecks cabin @1:40 cabin/shed is ok! Did the bear fixed the shed?

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Insidious DrNine he kind of smashed the backside of it

[@BIGM-gg9ln]

saw this in the theater in '76,loved it!

[@RedfishCarolina]

Can't wait to watch Bearricane on SyFy.

[@DVincentW]

I saw this at the drive in. Remember the little speakers you hung on your car window? LOL

[@DVincentW]

"Jaws with claws" I remember the papers said about this movie.

[@wraithstrongopark]

3:13 him: there's something i'm not doing. her: sure, you're not killing the bear. him: (and i was like, biiitch!)

[@joshuaperry4112]

I had a bad day, this bear makes me feel better. Not much, but it makes today BEARable.

[@scottnygaard2544]

I remember seeing that movie as a little kid brings back memories

[@MegaCrocosaurus92]

I remember enjoying this film when I saw a couple years ago. Next to Piranha, I think this is the best of the Jaws style killer animal movies. Also that intro looked too damn much like the intro to The Towering Inferno haha.

[@JuliusCaminus]

"Kitridge, you've never seen me BEAR-y upset."

[@noahw66]

This movie is hilarious! I can't believe they killed that little kid, the 70's were crazy. I hope Scream Factory releases this on blu-ray and include it's sequel. Awesome video by the way.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Noah Whitaker I think the sequel may never "officially" be released.

[@rafaeltrivino1790]

Noah Whitaker I'm sure you've seen his review on the movie "The Prophecy" When the kid dies in that movie its hard not to laugh.

[@CR41489]

Noah Whitaker I realize it’s been four years since you mentioned you were hoping this would come out on Blu-ray. It came out last year in a remastered edition with extras. If you are still interested, here is the link. I bought it and it’s a really good disc for people who like the film. roninflix.com/products/grizzly

[@EthanFyler]

I think it might at one point, I mean they're releasing Prophecy

[@ihaveanunoriginalprofilepi1744]

Kid carnage involving animals? What was that thing I loved do again? Kittten drowning, almost forgot! How could I forget my cold blooded gory memories? Thank you very much for this review!

[@MrBingogogo]

The ending of the first Resident Evil game was based on this film--they toss you a rocket launcher from a helicopter to kill the final boss.

[@1994JonnyBoy]

Once again, awesome vid. Didn't expect u to review this one though. It was on my wishlist and u sir have fulfilled it. :)

[@GoodBadFlicks]

John Aquino Excellent!

[@Nekucloud]

I didn't realize bears need a motive to kill people.😂

[@nightseifer]

I remember loving the shit out of this movie when i was a kid. Going to track it down and give it another watch now.

[@jacobpatton7587]

Book 'em, Lou! One count of being a bear, and one count of being an accessory to being a bear.

[@jugghead82]

PG in the 70s WOW

[@GoatPopsicle]

jugghead82 with no PG-13, this had to be PG. it didn’t show nudity, or the actual attacks(like the kid losing his leg) so it didn’t deserve an R.

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

As was Jaws

[@briangreene7085]

Accidentally stumbled on this movie when I was a kid one new years, took me years to even find out if it actually existed or was just one of those crazy kid memories ( I swear I was passed between two moving cars windows when I was 5, but I'm pretty sure that never happened as my folks aren't psychos, still feels real tho ), even when the internet came along took me ages to find it as I thought it was called The Bear or something..........I have no point to this rant I just realized, OK folks, move along, there's nothing to see here, keep it moving.

[@ireallylovepie]

I never really had the desire to watch this film, but after seeing your review, I have decided to give it a try.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Susuan Cartwrite its worth a look, I think you'll enjoy it

[@richardround2071]

GoodBadFlicks Hi, great vid. Could you do rogue, it is a great film that no one knows about.

[@jeffreyfuchs3208]

Surprisingly gory!

[@timoweic]

keep up the amazing work, my friend! I've been telling everyone i know about your channel! Can't wait till the next one!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Timothy W Thanks for the support!

[@boardskins]

Saw this at the Drive-In. We all laughed our asses off!!

[@dr.decker3623]

bears don't move in herds,.. a group of bears is called a sleuth.. not a herd :D

[@thegood9]

Saw this several times back in the 70's, around the same time "Killdozer" was out, lol.

[@johnrunion5357]

john frankheimer's prophecy (1979)'s Katahdin vs. william girdler's grizzly (1976).

[@JoeDredd2012]

1:35 LOL! Another slamming review Cecil I actually got a chance to see this film last october for the first time and I didn't mind the film I enjoy it your right they did push the violence in this film I guess just as munch they pushed it for ''Jaws'' also IMO!

[@bloodrunsclear]

'Paws' That might not be accurate...but that's too good XD

[@jballau]

The horse decapitation scene, I loved that when I was a kid.

[@unclepatrick2]

The music sounded just like the music of every other 70 Disaster movies.

[@boooRatt1]

I love SN's review of the unfinished sequel too bad the producer made him take it down but it's here on YT so I'm good! XD I do think it can be finished with some cheap claymation and the bits and pieces of leftover footage! XD

[@martinaasandersen3775]

1:38 Huh? Wasn't the shack trashed in the previous scene. Now it's perfect again.

[@Ektalon]

“The bear’s a robot now?” Which is why Grizzly II’s original sub-title was going to be Ruxpin’s Revenge.

[@mikemiller7357]

I remember watching this on TV years ago. Ratings have really changed LOL

[@ScreamingScallop]

0:28 Remember, aside from the iconic theme, John Williams' score for Jaws was far more "adventure" than "horror"...and Grizzly is a landlocked ripoff of Jaws, so the music makes sense. (They were, however, wise enough to abandon the VOCALS for the theme music, which were included on the movie's soundtrack LPs.) 1:02 Speaking of Jaws knockoffs, that red patch--and I can't believe I never noticed it, given how many times I've watched Grizzly--might be a visual representation of June's menstruation. In Peter Bencheley's Jaws novel, First Victim Chrissy attracts the shark because she's on her period.

[@pixystixnfairycrack]

People in sleeping bags are just the soft tacos of the bear world.

[@Malum09]

And now, 37 years later, the sequel is finally getting released

[@jetfire851]

Oh no, not Grizzly 2 footage! You'll get kicked off KZbin and forced to become some kind of snob...

[@zmbdog]

The producer had it taken down off Snob's own website. It was Nail Gun Massacre that got him kicked off youtube.

[@zak22wolftheultramanzenith35]

bigevilworldwide1 I think Brad might actually have been the one that reuploaded the review, or at the very least helped do so. What better way to stick it to an uptight film producer, right?

[@poontang3zizo]

I wonder who who win if the bear from Grizzly fought the shark from Jaws... Hollywood, make a goddamn movie that answers my question!

[@poontang3zizo]

***** Then I guess to make it a fair fight you'll have to set it on the moon. Superman IV style....

[@GoodBadFlicks]

poontang3zizo coming soon: The Asylum presents: RoboGrizzly vs Sharkunami

[@GoodBadFlicks]

poontang3zizo although Lake Placid answered Crocodile vs Grizzly

[@ihaveanunoriginalprofilepi1744]

The shark would bite the Bears face off if it Jaws could flout in air, While the bear wouldn't find enough u solid areas to hit the shark. Jaws for the win! Now what about Grizzly vs naughty? Naughty would win. Both giant and naughty has a machete and Bombs and guns and I think a rocket launcher eventually and a disenegrator and he is invisible while in the woods.

[@RocketeerRaccoon]

Wow, a kid gets killed by a killer bear in a "PG" Horror movie, that's so messed up. :p

[@GoodBadFlicks]

RocketeerRaccoon killed quite brutally too

[@knamedisme]

the movie was huge in Japan probably because of 'Sankebetsu brown bear incident'. The terror of a man eater bear are deeply imprinted on people's mind there.

[@rashawnevans8267]

I remember this one a classic monster jewel.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I'd really like to see the bear do his attack in kung-fu style

[@shanefairbanks1061]

at my local zoo(Duluth-superior) we could(it's been a while) walk down the zookeeper's path to the feeding cage...it was(is?) like an enclosed cave that leads to a steel reinforced door...it ALWAYS stank like gore and blood...anyone else have a local zoo that had that feature?

[@crazyinsane500]

What if there never really was a bear and it was just Bear Grylls instead?

[@chaosinorderrr]

he just wanted his cup of piss

[@darkcoeficient]

Did he run out of pee?

[@JohnDoe-vn1we]

Then everyone would be safe, as he is fake as f**k.

[@nymets1104]

I appreciated your USS Indianapolis reference 😊

[@Nerdy8BitBear]

I love the Bear-Hand,reminds me of the Wicker Man(Remake Haha),..........I think you all know what I mean XD

[@TheHamsterMaster]

The bear is super cute.

[@quietdignityandgrace]

From Jaws, where you don't see the baddie, to paws, which is all you see of the baddie. 1976? Just call Dan Haggerty, he'll talk the bear down.

[@Boomerjojo79]

Well good news grizzly 2 finally got released

[@oliverpengilley]

OMG, me and my bro ±distinctfilms Rented this movie when we were younger than 12 years old here in the UK, scared the shit out of me and gave me nightmares for years...the little boy having his limb lobbed off was horrific! lol. No one else we spoke to in our lives ever heard of the film....thanks for making this video.

[@Burori1]

Holy shit, did not see that kid going!

[@889Pammov]

Aww the 70's animal attack movies 😾🐻🐀🐪🐊🕷🦂😂 saw this when I was a kid 😁 They actually have found a Bear like this on an Alaskan island and said that he was probably a mix of modern and older bear species 🐻 and he is huge 😱

[@TheORIGINALBrentTheGent]

I NEEDLED My Friend Andrew Prine about GRIZZLY and the Woman BEATING the Bear with a BROOM !!!!! AGAIN, My Hat of To You and Your ENJOYABLE Reviews!!!!

[@salukinoose]

I remember my mom take me to this movie at the RKO. Best movie ever. I don't care what anyone says.

[@SamStuart07]

That's why you need rocket launchers when hunting.

[@studinthemaking]

Where did the rangers GET the rocket launcher from?

[@blainwilson7937]

@studinthemaking One of em brought it back from Nam.

[@Goblintom]

Bears are awesome, but this was bearly watchable.

[@christraven]

*::slow clap::*

[@jacksonknightproductions8697]

Goblintom Ba Da Tss

[@Jdsteele96]

Get out.

[@lordinquisitor6233]

Goblintom and the prize for the most obvious joke goes to

[@richardjones4259]

A million years old bear must at least have arthritis......oh wait, maybe thats why he's so grumpy.

[@cesarbautista2404]

The species of bear they feature in this movie is called arctodus or the short faced bear.

[@dr.decker3623]

no,.. it was a grizzly.. the bear in the shots is clearly a grizzly, it is called grizzly,.. and arctodus have been extinct for about 11,000 years... lmfao

[@78Bigtank]

Awesome video review the movie orca and gargoyle these movies are old 80s I think keep up the great work

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Saleg Frech thanks!

[@oddeyes9413]

Um... CAUSE ITS A BEAR! 😂

[@TheDungeon11]

You missed adding a "smile you son of a bitch", before he shot the bear with a rocket launcher.

[@JohnDRobinsonelectronicdrums]

first film i ever saw in the cinema!

[@docsamson198]

Please also note that Neal Adams, widely considered the greatest comic book artist of all time, did the artwork for the posters.

[@EpicPour99]

Please do Alligator

[@Evilgrebo]

Got my hopes up. I remember seeing a film about a giant bear when I was younger but I have no idea it's title or when it was made.

[@Rasheedamcclintock77]

Bro you are slipping!! The shack put itself back together perfectly after the bear totaled it wtf???!!

[@GoatPopsicle]

The good old days of good movie ratings, before the Reagan’s appointment of the clergy to the MPAA. PG: Parental Guidance, actually meant something back then, and not the PG= for kids, rating we have now. Also, there was no PG:13 back then, so if it wasn’t hard enough for an R, it was PG. that also means G meant a lot more too.

[@unchainedwiththecapt]

Hilarious man! Still binging on your vids.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Unchained With The Captain :)

[@TheVarietyVendor]

Yay. Am always a happy camper(no pun intended) when you claw(ok..now it's intended) out another review. Though am wondering why in your opening effect the cabin breaking got a glass shatter sound...i thought it would be explained in the review but..didn't get one. Still though i wanna watch this movie. Amana break it out tonight with Bram Stoker's Dracula and Terrorist Trap. Weird night..i know.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

:) I needed a breaking sound and that was the only one I had in my banks that came close to matching. I tried to mess with it a bit but, well, nobody's perfect lol

[@TheVarietyVendor]

GoodBadFlicks It's cool man. Glad to see you back. Could you review the movie, Magic from 1978?

[@GoodBadFlicks]

The Variety Vendor at some point, yes

[@RBComics]

Been meaning to find and watch this movie after seeing blood splatter cinema's review of it.

[@paul1809we]

Grizzly 2 was a bad flick .. Grizzly I seen when it opened in the theaters in the town next to my hometown because of town I lived in was so small we didn't have a movie theater win free shows in the parking lot Summers though

[@bunkerzero]

Rated PG for Pissed Grizzly

[@nospam3327]

Ok, a couple of things: yes, 70s films are awesome. Grizzly 2 is being released, it's on hold because of the #@$%ing coronavirus. Grizzly might have been the highest grossing independent film until Halloween, because we'll never know for sure how much money Texas Chainsaw Massacre made (because the producers hid how much money it made).

[@planetmaker3472]

1:28 holy shit she looks like frau engle from wolfenstein

[@azuretaryu3811]

let's see here, 15 feet tall, 1 million years old...that would be a short face bear AKA the super sized Ice Age Bear.

[@dr.decker3623]

too bad it is called grizzly, they used a Kodiak, and the arctodus (short face) has been extinct for 11,000 years

[@Decembirth]

The rating makes sense even for animated violence this would still be acceptable to some degree; there is no show of "graphic violence" nor is is explicitly gory, simply an after the incident shots.

[@kibblewibble1]

I actually remember them showing this on tv in like 1981... and being freaked out by it. I don't think they edited out any of the gore either.
