“I first saw this more than a decade ago on Sony Pix channel.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRevisited it recently.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA national park is terrorized by a man-eating grizzly of extraordinary size but we have Christopher George who makes silly n stupid decisions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe helicopter guy Don (Andrew Prine) dies cos of Kelly (Christopher George).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRather than shooting the bear with a bazooka and that too safely while aerial in the copter, Kelly insisted on getting down.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOur boy Kelly wanted to be the last man standing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor a lot of time we donu0026#39;t get to see the bear in action but we see people being lifted up as if some supernatural stuff is holding em.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMr Walker whose wife gets killed while doing make up in the tent looks like Quentin Tarantino n Michael Shannon combined. Man, that guyu0026#39;s smile (of surely getting laid tonight) before her wifeu0026#39;s death is so funny.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie has a good star cast, Christopher George, Andrew Prinen n Richard Jaeckel.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe 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).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile Prine n Jaeckel starred together in few films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe have Kathy Rickman (the nurse from Deliverance), she looks amazingly hot with her tight abs in this movie but she canu0026#39;t act.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe scenes shot from the bearu0026#39;s point of view was a new gimmick in the late 70s but i didnu0026#39;t enjoy that trick.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie has zero tension n suspense.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe bear chase scenes r dull n makes no sense.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere 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.”
