Made the year after the astronomically profitable "Jaws" raced to the top of the box office, "Grizzly" attempted to replicate the film's success, a feat which even the "Jaws" sequels themselves could not accomplish.
Instead of an unnaturally smart great white shark, we get a preternaturally smart grizzly bear which are, after all, the sharks of the Northern Rockies. The grizzly bear is also ridiculously huge - 18 feet tall and weighing two tons, which makes him the size of a prehistoric cave bear. The film reproduces the story of "Jaws" almost exactly except that there was no USS Indianapolis for bears, thank god.
