Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia This film is sometimes mistakenly called a sequel to director William Girdler's previous film Grizzly (1976), mostly because it basically had the same plot and trained bear, had the same executive producer/distributor (Edward L. Montoro), director (William Girdler (as mentioned above)) and production company/distribution company (Film Ventures International (FVI)), and featured both Richard Jaeckel and Christopher George, who had also previously appeared in Grizzly. There was also a true sequel to Grizzly titled Grizzly II: Revenge (2020) (working title: "Grizzly II: The Predator"), but originally it was never entirely completed and thus was never released in theaters or on home video until January 8, 2021. Before this happened, however, an original work print of the sequel had illegally surfaced on the Internet in 2007. See more »

Quotes Paul Jenson: Hey, hot shot. We're out of food.
Steve Buckner: I know!
Paul Jenson: Well, where's that food that's supposed to be around here?
Steve Buckner: It's up ahead.
Paul Jenson: You say.
Steve Buckner: That's right. I say.
Paul Jenson: You hear that, everyone? Hot shot says there's food up ahead. That is, if he's reading his map right. Well, what the hell, let's get going. I'm hungry.
Steve Buckner: Okay Mr. Jenson. Get your ass in gear and let's go!
