    • Goofs
      Scotty describes the grizzly bear as cannibalistic after it kills and eats the bear cub that was set out as bait for it in order to both trap and kill it, but the cub in the film is an American black bear, which is a completely separate species than the 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 the film is rated PG, as was its original theatrical release in 1976. The DVD version of it is rated R, but there is hardly any difference between it and the VHS 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...
