The HORRIBLE movie that took 40 YEARS to come out - Grizzly 2 (2021) 

I like how the sequence of the bullet flying through the air is the entire cartridge, not just the bullet, but the shell casing as well!

Nurse Ratchet destroying more lives ... She's the true villain. Leave the medical field after losing her license, works her way up to running a park and now has her eyes set on even more power all at the cost of other people. truly a dastardly villain

2:37 Flying bullet is still in the casing, the mark of quality.

The unfinished rough cut of this movie that was floating around for years is arguably more watchable and interesting, especially given that Michael Jackson was pretty exclusively used as the concert music ambience, presumably as a placeholder.

As a French Canadien myself, I can safely attest that all Fench Canadiens harbor "French Canadian Powers" of super strength.

Given the Dern, Sheen and Clooney headlining titles, you'd have thought Oscar-winner Louise Fletcher, LotR actor John Rhys-Davies, Bafta nominated Timothy Spall and Ian McNiece would have got in as well. Really though the cast is phenomenal. I bet the stock footage bear won a Nobel Prize as well, probably.

I discovered Mark about month ago. I've now watched everything he's got on his channel and I'm watching this 20 minutes after it was released...I feel like I've completed an epic game and I can't wait for the sequel :)

An editor told a story about a movie she worked on. In the middle of the production, the director just disappeared -when they found him he had left the country and refused to return. To cut the movie together they took some footage of a cat and used it to fill the empty spots where it was footage missing.

I remember the 1970s was the hay day for these man versus nature movies as well as a lot of disaster movies. In the 1970s we were constantly fighting either killer bees or tarantulas.

What's strange is that Louise Fletcher and John Rhys-Davies actually star in the film, and they were the bigger names of that era. Promotional material for the movie would have done better by featuring them instead of the cameo trio, if for no other reason than nostalgic value.

Using ADR with a close-shot of the actor's mouth not moving... That's bold. Stock footage, horrible ADR, editing errors... Are we sure Neil didn't have anything to do with this? lol

A bear at a concert could have been amazing, especially in the 80s. Imagine it: A very hungry very confused bear gets into some guys beer, gets drunk, maybe accidentally gets a big whiff of coke (80s, after all) and goes on a RAMPAGE. IT COULD HAVE WORKED!

I love how the hunter fires out the full cartridge to that animals in the beginning. Not just a bullet, but the full thing.

The flying bullet is actually a handgun round, casing and all. xD Great video as always, Mark.

I feel like a more interesting story would've been a documentary style movie or found footage type I guess where young documentarians investigate what happened on the night of the concert and then find out the bear is still alive too or something. Just anything but this where they try to mix in some 2014 rave footage with 1980s performers

If only the dying monster bear could've gotten his paws on a guitar for the final scene - it would've been Epic!

As I recall, years back, when the legal owner of the (unfinished) movie was demanding any online reviews of the leaked rough cut be taken down, checking the professional bio on her website revealed that she proudly noted having worked with big-name actors like Clooney, Dern, and Sheen. A little sad, actually.

I thought maybe the bear would grab a mic, dance across the stage, killing and maiming with theatrical precision. Jazz claws!✨

Bears run 35 miles per hour or 56 kilometers per hour. If it were chasing you in the woods it would catch up with you in seconds. You're basically being attacked by a car at that point. Mark brings us the best of the worst movies.

George Clooney deserves another Academy Award for his role in this movie. If "Boyhood" is the best movie ever because it took 12 years to make, "Grizzly II" is even better because it took 40 years to make.

If anyone likes when Mark inserts himself into the movies, you should watch "Dead Man Don't Wear Plaid". Steve Martin is super imposed into a bunch of film noir movies. Great comedy 👍

What's amazing to me is that people like John Rhys-Davies and Louise Fletcher don't get their names up front, even though they clearly have more screen time than Charlie Sheen, et al, and are likewise big-name actors.

Mark screaming at the movie "I don't care! DO SOMETHING! " is honestly so funny, haha!

Mark, I've been in a very dark place lately and find myself not enjoying much of anything anymore, but your content always puts a smile on my face. I just wanted to thank you for that. I don't even care about the movies you review. I just think you're really funny.

Holy Christ, I think this is the first time someone combined almost 40 year old scenes and modern stock footage unironically, I think Neil has some competition.

I'm surprised they didn't have Buchard telling the story of his time on the USS Indianapolis, and how half the crew was eaten by sharks, and the other half by aquatic bears.

You just have to love it when movies have the whole cartridge being fired out of a rifle instead of just the bullet. LOL it looks ridiculous! It makes me wonder how anyone could be dumb enough to think that this is how firearms function.

Hillarious to see almost 40yo outdated Film Scenes Mixed with Modern Stock footage. But mentioning Sheen, Clooney and Dern in the Intro for this short Scene Takes the cake! 😂

I love how the hunter's bullet is a full 9 mm cartridge including the case.

I wonder when Mark first realised that his throw away line "welcome back TOOOOOO the show" had suddenly become his trade'Mark' and a line he can never not say at the beginning of one of his videos lol Love it :)

The Cinema Snob did this a few years ago and supposedly the person who made the film, got wind of it it and told him to take it down which he did. You can still find his grizzly 2 review on YT by another person, and he was also on Double Toasted talking about how bad it was. Very interesting story. This movie was never finished and there were huge production troubles.

Grizzly 2 is like Orson Welle’s The Other Side of the Wind where both took years to finally be released and been in development hell but the difference with both films is that Wind was made to true to Orson’s vision while Grizzly 2 was just something to fill the missing scenes that are really bad in comparison and making a bad student film.

Mark!! You totally gotta review the movie "shotgun" starring stuart chapin... it's a bad movie gem I've been loving for years, and there's nobody but you who could possibly do that movie justice... I think you'd love it, thanks for all the great content

So as well as Charlie Sheen, Laura Dern and George Clooney, this movie also has the sheriff from the original Halloween, Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), Wormtail (Timothy Spall) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies, who obviously learned his dwarf multi-axe wielding skills here). That’s actually an impressive cast for such a terrible pos movie! Even the asshole cop who falls from the helicopter in First Blood is in there. Great video and subscribed!

With a number of the videos Mark is popping up lately I feel like I can survive this new lockdown in my country little bit easier. Thanks, Mark!

Ranger Nick's hair is always perfect, and he rides in an open top jeep. Must keep a case of aqua net in the back.

In addition to George Clooney, Laura Dern and Charlie Sheen the movie also seems to star legendary British actors John Rhys-Davies and Timothy Spall. Stellar casting!

What a weird coincidence, three actors who went on to have pretty awesome careers all in a scene together when they were starting out

I love how Laura Dern's character decided to go on a nature trip in a ripped shirt, shorts, probably a bikini and white heels. The hiking drip for women was really sth else in the 80s I guess 💁‍♀

This horrible movie has a shocking number of well known actors who were previously in some really amazing movies.

Casting director: "So George, Laura and Charlie...they're complete nobodies, we'll kill their characters off at the start."

They have Oscar-winner Louise Fletcher and Marc Alaimo, two of the main villains from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Deborah Rafkin and John Rhys-Davies in his prime, who were both in Noble House, and the producers didn't they merited a mention on the packaging or in the opening credits? But somehow, they thought Charlie Sheen, George Clooney and Laura Dern being killed in the first four minutes would be a draw. Are you kidding?

Oh, HI Mark!

The jump cuts may originate from when the original negative was cut during the first edit. Once those frames are gone, they're gone. However, I'm surprised the editor didn't use an optical zoom to cover it. Maybe they didn't have the budget.

That bullet seems to still... be in its casing... at the beginning. So whoever made the effect they bought didn't know how a bullet works and... neither did the filmmakers. Excellent.

Everything about this movie is perfect for Mark's talents, so of course he didn't disappoint! By the way, Steve Inwood, the Wolverine-lookalike actor who plays Nick, had a pretty solid career in the late 70's/early 80's, if mainly in small parts. Then, in 1983, he starred in "Staying Alive", the much inferior sequel to John Travolta's "Saturday Night Fever". He had quite a big role in the movie and hoped it would make him a household name. It didn't - and the troubled production of "Grizzly II" came next. According to co-star John Rhys-Davis, "coming off the near-superstardom of Staying Alive, it made him (Inwood)… perhaps overvalue his contribution a little bit." After that, his career took a nosedive and stopped altogether in 1997. Myself and a few other dedicated fans have been trying to track him down ever since, but he seems to have disappeared into thin air, which is a shame. If anyone has any recent info on him, it would be greatly appreciated!

No way you tell your friend that his fly is open. You're hoping he doesn't notice and there's a cameo appearance by kielbasa. That's priceless hilarity and a story you can tell for decades.

Every time I hear Mark say "Welcome back *to* the show" my mind automatically goes to "these pretzels are making me thirsty".

There was a work print version of this movie that explains a lot. They 100% did not have enough b-roll, in the work print version practically every scene with a bear was a black screen because they did not have the footage.

The scene of the hunter shooting the bear is hilarious. I love how the entire thing is shown flying instead of ya know, the bullet itself. Oh not to mention it’s a handgun caliber and definitely not a rifle round.

10:20 Holy shit, is that an incredibly young Timothy Spall?? Also, kind of suprised you didn't mention that the hunter tracking the bear is John Rhys-Davies. How the hell did this film end up having so many now-famous actors in it?

The guy surfing on his motorcycle in the beginning is obviously the poacher who appears later on and displays his secret techniques of dropping his rifle and biting his hat. Riding like that in the forest must be another secret of being a badass mountain man! I'm just going to keep the ball rolling here and develop my own backstory for this guy further.

Ah yes, i've got fond memories watching Cinema Snob review the original movies YEARS ago. Didn't know it was actually getting a sequel.

Marc Alaimo plays the lead poacher in this. He was also Gul Dukat in DS9 Louise Fletcher plays the park superintendent... she was also Kai Winn in DS9 _X-files music_

Wouldn't it be more honest and appealing to just say that Nurse Ratchet is in this and gets her comeuppance by being horribly mauled by a bear? I would pay to see that.

Every video is a gift I remember waiting years for videos just glad this channel is still around.

Orca, The Pack, The Day of the Animals and White Dog are 4 good "animals attack" films, which I'd recommend for creativity and sympathy for the creatures. Hey, have you seen that 70s movie Bug? Man, that is very strange and creepy, my dad took me to see that when I was a kid...mom wasn't happy lol

Former poacher here. Dropping of the gun technique is real. What you do is shoot wildly, one handed is fine, then drop the gun (as we see). Then, whatever animal you were shooting at gets mad, goes for the gun, then when the animal has the gun pointed at you, you shoot it with your hidden, secret gun. Now it’s self-defense and not illegal poaching. White rhinos and polar bears are notorious for falling for this trick, which is why there’s so few of them.

I saw the unfinished workprint years ago it was very clear there wasn't even half of a movie there. The story of it's troubled production is pretty interesting though.

9:59 Hey, that's John Rhys-Davies as Bouchard! What a shame. That is truly depressing. ;)

Damn, I feel so sorry for this cast. I even recognized an old friend as one of the poachers, Jack Starrett who directed "Race With The Devil" and played the mush-mouthed Gabby Johnston in "Blazing Saddles" and the deputy that set off Rambo in "First Blood." Alan Smithee had nothing to do with this stillborn effort... did he?

Thanks so much for including subtitles for us with hearing troubles, it seems like such a little thing but a lot of creators don't put subtitles on their vids. Phillip DeFranco is one person that just won't do it for some reason, we've asked for years and years, so thank you Mark!

Dad used to rent Grizzly when we got our first VCR back in 1980 or so. It was, like you said, Jaws in the Woods. Loved it, though. Sorry you had to watch this train wreck (but I appreciate it).

5:31 It's the guy from "First Blood" who falls off the helicopter! I had never seen him in another movie until this debacle! Wow!

Sweet sweet buttery Moses! I’m so glad Mark you are focusing on Grizzly 2! I hope other RU-vid channels and even Mst3k and Rifftrax tear into this too.

Mayor from JAWS characters: ✔, Quint character: ✔ , guy that looks like the singer Eddie Rabbit: ✔ , Years of counseling after watching this film: ✔. OH, and that one poacher is that cop that falls from the helicopter in Rambo.... ✔

I would just like to say, I can't wait to see you hit the 200K mark (And eventually the 1M mark!)..I've only been watching you for a few weeks now but I'm honestly hooked. The way you do your reviews feels vastly different from all the others I have seen. I even managed to get my dad addicted to your videos! With that, I wish you the best of luck and keep on making videos, mark!...Unless you don't want to of course-

I think they decided to slap this together and finally release it.... just for you Mark.

The stock footage is so jarring in so many ways. It’s really distracting. Anyway this was another great video Mark!

If they'd named this movie "Grizzly Too".... That would be gold.

No mention of John Rhys Davies? That was him, right, im not imagining it?

It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about the back of a Breenball. Thanks for bringing back that memory, Mark. Stellar work as usual. ❤️

8:12 Oh, man, what a waste of Louise Fletcher's talent. She was Nurse Ratched in 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' and she was great in 'Brainstorm' too along with Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood. I assume she needed the money to star in this bear turd.

The politician was played by Louise Fletcher. This is definitely the most evil character this actress has ever portrayed.

Sometimes you do such a good job describing how bad the movie is that I almost start to watch another video and I have to remind myself I’m here because it is bad and Mark will make it fun

Dude, your dry, straight forward and honest description is cracking me the fuck up. Awesome.

I remember reading about this as a piece of lost media/production hell and then one night it's randomly playing on Showtime. I thought "Well that can't be right; I read they'd never finished it." Oh God, they finished it alright.

100,000 person concert deep in the woods...Traffic and limited parking would be the real terror in this film

Glad this wasn't a sequel for Grizzly Man.

Mark I love your style of comedy. I've been a fan for years I just wanted to let you know how appreciated you are.

Wow, the bullet is so fast it took the casing with it!

Mark, you needed to mention Dragon is played by Louise 'Kai Winn' Fletcher.

Keep up the great work Mark! You are quite a talent.

How have I not seen this video? I've watched every other video more than once, all the way back from when Mark had side kicks and extras on the show. This is like finding money in an old pair of pants

I remember Brad Jones doing a Cinema Snob episode on it years ago, and the video got DMCA'd by the rights holders because "this movie wasn't meant to be seen by the general public". I also remember when Brad Jones wasn't an asshole.

@2:37 - I love how the case is still on the bullet

Hey Mark, you missed mentioning the amazing Louise Fletcher turning up in this about 4 minutes in. Some know her as the disgusting head nurse/warden in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, but to me shes the religious bajorean leader Vedek Winn from ST DS9. 😎

10:50 I remember the 80's fairly well. I don't remember shorts that looked like a diaper someone had their period in ever being even close to 80's style.

You gotta wonder if good old Charlie Sheen ever looks back at the filming of this and reflects on his life and wonders if he’d make any changes? I mean he was killing it in like 1987 and then things got a little crazy.

What a gem. This begs for a 'bad movie night' party.

I saw Grizzly as a kid, I found it horrendous and way too bloody. This looks hilarious, though.

In the rehearsal and concert scenes, there is a hungarian band named KFT.

Fun fact: When I heard the movie involved a concert, I instantly became suspicious. After checking it out, I was right - the concert footage was shot in Hungary. My father often talks about this concert - in Hungarian it's referred to as the "Fenevad" (beast) concert. It was, AFAIK, the first large scale concert in Hungary, and marked the gradual shift from soviet rule to independence in the 80s. My dad said it was the first large concert he's ever been on, and he recalls the crowd being massive. Bless his heart, he had no reference. He laughingly told us that he only later found out that the concert was for a shitty western movie, that even ended up bombing. The worst part is - they obviously never got to see the movie. Now I might have to show thus to him. Anyway, now you know - as bad as this movie is, it's very much historical. For the record - if you're interested in the Hungarian bands appearing, you should check out LGT or Locomotive GT.

The word “underrated” is overused but your channel is underrated Mark, Fanboy Flicks deserves a million more subscribers.

One of my ex friends was a trapper. So yeah Quebec still have them but it's not the most common activities nowadays. Still, got tasty venison regularly! Also yeah, he looked the part, too! Beard, checkered shirt, necklace made from wolf claws or whatever those came from...😄

The part where the bear looks at the screen and says “This is truly a Grizzly ll Revenge” made me cry. Truly the sequel of all time (until they make a Morbius 2)

I heard this version of Grizzly 2 was done by a fan, so honestly this looks ok to me ^^ plus the reason the bear is never really visible, was because they ran out of money and the special effects guys dismantled the animatronic bear and took it away for not being paid. ^^

i had the grizzly action figure when i was a kid! i actually wanted the King Kong action figure, but my parents bought the bear instead. i still don't know whether they made a mistake or it was revenge for all my tantrums.

And you notice, the ones who actually went on to have a successful career, they got out of there as quickly as they could, so what does that tell you. 😉😂🤣

Honestly, you do such a better job making those gag scenes where you insert yourself into old movies than these people did with their entire film. Like... they couldn't even blur their B-Roll footage a bit to make it fit in nicer with the old, lower-res/different frame rate footage? They couldn't desaturate it a little? C'mon. The amount of care you put into inserting yourself into, "The Giant Claw" just for some jokes about a nude photographer blows away the entire filmography of the people who put Grizzly 2 out. No joke, that's just a truthful statement. They should be ashamed. The guy who did _the poster_ though? Making the bear look like he's _pumped_ to have a rock concert in his tummy, beneath the ghostly visions of young Clooney, Sheen and Laura Dern? That guy's alright at his job ;)
