    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This film ended up becoming the most financially successful independent film of 1976, earning an impressive $39,000,000 worldwide in box-office revenue, and breaking several records as well. It held this record for two whole years, until Halloween (1978) broke it.
    • Goofs
      Scotty describes the bear as cannibalistic after it attacks the bear cub, but the cub is an American black bear, a completely separate species from the grizzly bear they are tracking.
    • Quotes

      Don Stober: Well, let me tell you a little story, boy. A long time ago, there was a tribe of Indians up here in these woods. They were all laying down in these parts... or something, I can't remember. Anyway, this herd of grizzlies smelt them out. They came in an' they ate them. They tore them all up. Little children, sick ones, everybody! There were few braves to go out on the hunt. They came back and them grizzlies turned on them! So there you got yourself a little situation. A whole herd of man-eating grizzlies. Just running around tearing up them Indians!

      Arthur Scott: That's kind of hard to believe, Don.

      Don Stober: Unless, of course, you happen to be one of them Indians!

    • Alternate versions
      The U.S. VHS version of Grizzly is rated PG, as was its original release in 1976. The DVD version is rated R, but there is hardly any difference between the VHS version and the DVD version.

    The story of an extremely intelligent bear!
    Very sexy 2nd victim, brunette with long hair, who went to poop in the forest and Mr. Big Bear caught her in the small cabin. The bear played excellently, he deserves an Oscar and a BAFTA. Human actors not so much. I mean, not exactly talented. The hand of the first victim, the woman with the red checkered shirt, can be seen to be made of plastic. We really need such a bear now, to deal with Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and company...
