The actual movie started on the right foot, too, hopping right to Grizzly-cam. He spies a couple of delicious-looking morsels (as in, what else, college age girls) at a campsite in the National Forest somewhere. One of 'em says "I'll be right back.' and of course is devoured. A bloody arm is thrown across the screen as the bear takes down the other woman. Accompanying this is a 'Mega-man falling off a cliff sound.' Now, I don't really remember what that is, but I think it was funny or I wouldn't have written it down.
Meanwhile, it's the busy camping season at the State Park and the ranger isn't allowed to warn people about the grizzly attacks. He reports 'two girls age 19 to 20 eaten to the bone.' Well, I guess that they were either 19 or 20 then. The park ranger has also suffered through a recent divorce, because he and his wife were 'both mercenaries.' He's also a bit upset that 'There's a killer bear out there and I'm sitting here crushing ice cubes in my mouth.'
As more campers get chewed, the ranger finally goes out to hunt down the bear. To prevent his ex-wife from accompanying him, he says 'Look, it's a butcher shop out there. You wouldn't handle it.' Of course, some local rednecks get involved in hunting the bear. They, of course get separated and it's dinner time for Mr. Grizzly. After enjoying some Dannon Hunter on the Bottom, the bear continues rampagin' around. I'll just leave it to the viewer to see how this movie ends! It's hilarious.

Here's some morsels from the peanut gallery during this movie:
Kyle: 'This is Volume 3 of why hicks shouldn't hatch plans in horror movies.' - after the line 'Let's use the cub as bait.'
Brian: 'They just tide us over with a little devourin' before they get back to the pointlessness.'
Brian: 'They just show a claw swipe and then throw body parts around.' - after a horse head is chucked across the screen.
Brian: 'Is that just me or is that the fiery remains of the grizzly?'
Kyle: 'I'm afraid those are the fiery remains of the Grizzly.

Summary: Things I learned watching this movie:
1. Park rangers in charge of tagging and catagorizing animals are some times careless enough to let 15 foot, 2,000 pound grizzlies slip by them.
2. When out hunting for a killer grizzlies, it is unwise to have your partner go off looking for it while you stay behind by yourself to bathe in the river. (Remember, just because you haven't found it yet dosen't mean it's nowhere around.)
3. There are hunters out there foolish enough, when they know they are searching for a killer grizzly, to all fall asleep at the same time, rather than sleeping in shifts.
4. Killer grizzlies prefer the taste of female victims. (The first four victims here are all female, and only one male victim is actually eaten.)
5. If you live in a house at the edge of the woods, it is a good idea to have a radio, or at least keep in contact with sourrounding civilization, just in case a killer grizzly should enter the woods. If such a thing does happen, you want to leave your house and go stay at a hotel in town until the thing is brought down. DO NOT stay in your home until it finds you and any family members living with you.
Now, to the ratings
- There's enough action to keep you interested and the stupidity of the characters will keep you laughing.
- The one-liners were pretty funny here, and the noises in the background wre pretty funny as well.
- The claw swipe and body part throw formula is one of the funnier things I've seen in a B Movie, especially the horse head.
- Well, this movie stole a lot from Jaws, but it was still creative in the drunken hick department.
Enjoy this one with a tasty beverage and get ready to laugh.
