I first saw this more than a decade ago on Sony Pix channel.
Revisited it recently.
A national park is terrorized by a man-eating grizzly of extraordinary size but we have Christopher George who makes silly n stupid decisions.
The helicopter guy Don (Andrew Prine) dies cos of Kelly (Christopher George).
Rather than shooting the bear with a bazooka and that too safely while aerial in the copter, Kelly insisted on getting down.
Our boy Kelly wanted to be the last man standing.
For a lot of time we don't get to see the bear in action but we see people being lifted up as if some supernatural stuff is holding em.
Mr Walker whose wife gets killed while doing make up in the tent looks like Quentin Tarantino n Michael Shannon combined. Man, that guy's smile (of surely getting laid tonight) before her wife's death is so funny.
The movie has a good star cast, Christopher George, Andrew Prinen n Richard Jaeckel.
The casting of George, Prine and Jaeckel marked the second time this trio of actors starred together in the same film. They had previously played supporting roles in Chisum (1970).
While Prine n Jaeckel starred together in few films.
We have Kathy Rickman (the nurse from Deliverance), she looks amazingly hot with her tight abs in this movie but she can't act.
The scenes shot from the bear's point of view was a new gimmick in the late 70s but i didn't enjoy that trick.
The movie has zero tension n suspense.
The bear chase scenes r dull n makes no sense.
There is one waterfall bathing scene which lacked the nudity n to top it all our killer bear is hiding in the waterfall like some pervert.
