How come the grizzly took the horse's head off with one swipe of it's claw but only scratched the guy's face? Cheesy crap, I guess that's why people enjoy it.
Scared the bastard pants off me this movie did. How the hell I got into the pictures to see it aged about 10 I do not know. I'm still scarred even now and rarely walk through the woods of Staffordshire alone or without my flamethrower. Fucking awful.
i'm curious, if the bear could take off a horse's head with one swipe of its paw, then how come it only scratched the dude's face up a little bit when he swiped at him?
Ummm, maybe this is just me, but if you had the bazooka the whole time, why didn't you just use it in the first place? Exactly what else were you saving it for as park ranger in the middle of nowhere?
This movie has an interesting concept. A prehistoric 18-Foot Tall Killer Grizzly. It sounds like it could be a good horror film. But it was poorly done. If done right, it could've done to camping what JAWS did for swimming.
1:32., what the fuck was that. I never seen anything mory cheesy in my life. This movie was a fucking joke. The fucking producers couldn't even make a 18 ft operating grizzly bear for the movie like they did for jaws. Cheap skate assholes.
"I've nver seen anything more cheesy in my life" I envy you, as someone who sat through shit like I HATE YOU and SUMMER OF THE MASSACRE.
And uh, yeah, they did make a mechanical bear for it. They also used a real bear, which makes it a hell of a lot more believable. I'll bet you're just mad becuase nobody you've ever heard of is in it, and it isn't loaded with CGI. :)
It's amazing that a giant bear could decapitate a horse in just one swipe, but could only inflict superficial scratches on the face of actor Richard Jaeckel.
was that Bart the bears dad as the main actor? tank I think his name was?
my cousins saw this movie when they were about ten. after this , they wouldn't even watch scooby do afterwards. I wasn't allowed to see it but I did see "jaws" too young,.that damn plastic shark still worries me. I must see this film :)
They could of steered off the path of 'JAWS' a little; rather than attempting to do a carbon copy - albeit a bad one!?!! in hindsight, some of these Jaws rip-offs now make quite qood viewing compared to the CGI crap of today. This along with Alligator and Pirahna are real stinkers and the only real rip-off movie of any credibility and intelligence was 'Orca - Killer Whale'. . .
Interesting that when the guy on the horse is attacked, the bear takes off the horse's head with one swipe, but when he hits the guy, the guy just looks like the bear smeared catsup on his face. Guy must have had one hell of a hard head.
Yeah, this movie isn't OSCAR-WORTHY or anything, but it's entertaining. In real life, if you're ever in bear country (the Western U.S., Canada, etc.), for the love of GOD, get some bear spray and learn how to use it properly. It is 90 to 95 percent effective in preventing injury/death during a bear encounter. Believe it or not, firearms are only about 55 percent effective in this respect. Hence, you're actually MUCH BETTER OFF with bear spray than a firearm.
This was the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's "Bear Jew" character in "Inglorious Basterds".. This is also what can happen to you if you don't put out your campfires and "Smokey the Bear" finds out about it!
Remember, when you have a 10 foot tall Grizzly coming after you and you have a high powered rifle with scope, Shoot from the hip, it's the only thing to do
Lol... I just wonder if that was the only bulletproof bear in history, or they were shooting so bad. They weren't really aiming, so it's hard to say. xD
@alchemik666 well the plot centered around how this particular bear was a genetic throwback to ancient cave bears, which is why it was bigger, meaner, and stronger than the average grizzly.
Actually even though a bad movie this films got good camera work and its a lot of fun to look at even years after. I think it was a worth while effort.
I found this in a cut out bin at HEB for five bucks. It had my name written on it. This movie is actually based on a real story. Just Like Alligator and Squirm.
By the way, the guy in the jean jacket was a Vietnam vet (In the movie of course), and he used that rocket launcher to kill "gooks"(No offense to any one of oriental descent), and he made a promise that he would never kill a living thing again. (Until he shot at the griz.) But he kept the rocket launcher. (Have no idea why.)
@1Morey hahahaha are you fucking serious??what a plot... it makes perfect sence because it is policy of the United States Army to give very weapon to the soldier after his tour of duty...yah fucking right,that movie is a joke.
You know your hearing is shot when a 500-600 pound grizzly bear can sneak up on your ass.
This movie must have been made before the Humane Society was founded. I would put some money on that severed horse head being real, just like with The Godfather.
my mom took me and my friend to this when we were about 12 or 13. we hid on the floor and poked our heads up time from time. scared fucking shitless. my mom was laughing the whole time and kept tellin us to look its not a scary part comin up but it was coming up.
that was a hell of a bear hug.+ the rocket wouldnt have arned at that range...maybe.I saw that movie at the flicks when I was young.There was another movie around about then which featured some mutant animals and some sort of huge mutant bear....LOL those were the days.
lol a grenade launcher? really?
