At long last, 1983's Grizzly II, a movie about an oversized killer bear that terrorizes a young George Clooney, Laura Dern, and Charlie Sheen as they try to enjoy a music festival, is going to be released after sitting unfinished for decades.
Grizzly II is the sequel to 1976's Grizzly, a box office hit made to cash in on Jaws’ recent success by trading out shark-induced carnage for an 18-foot tall bloodthirsty bear.
Its sequel follows an equally pissed-off bear who eats a whole lot of people in the area surrounding a huge outdoor concert after her cubs’ deaths at the hands of evil poachers.
Even a secretive last minute investor couldn’t see the movie to the finish line.
Decades later, though, Nagy returned to the movie, cutting it together with stock videos and giving it a new subtitle.
Grizzly II: The Revenge has been screening at festivals and is now set for wide release this fall, after nearly 40 years spent in hibernation.
