“Grizzly II: Revenge” (*1/2 out of four) was a cheezoid horror clunker about a giant grizzly bear who runs loose and mauls and attacks anyone and everyone (Deborrah Raffin, George Clooney, Charlie Sheen, John Rhys-Davies, Laura Dern, Louise Fletcher, and others) who gets in his way at a massive rock concert in a national park. Incredibly- this mess was filmed in 1983 in Budapest and was seized and held by the government and was subsequently completed and now released almost 40 years later but to put it kindly it hasn’t exactly aged like fine wine. Concert scenes are impressive considering film’s miniscule budget but film is completely devoid of any scares or thrills. Strictly for those who want to see these stars before they became celebrities but the bear is actually a better actor than them here.
