After a nice display of aerial forest POV photography by chopper pilot, Don (Andrew Prine), we land at a scenic park site that looks to be somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, but, to my surprise, was actually filmed in Georgia! 'Tis the time for backpacking season where hikers and campers can freely roam about and explore the forests. After all, Ranger Kelly (Christopher George) and his troopers have reassured the public that the dangerous black bears have been tagged and moved from the premises and into higher ground. Yet, it's obvious that they missed out on catching one particularly big, bad nasty bear who has a HUGE appetite! Three poor victims soon fall into the claws and jaws of this monstrous bear, but wild-life expert, Scotty (Richard Jaeckel) informs everyone that this isn't the work of a regular black or brown bear, but of a gigantic grizzly which has a bloodline that goes back to the Jurassic age!
====Taglines====
 
* 18 Feet of Man-Eating Terror!
Not only is '''Grizzly''' an obvious cash-in on '''Jaws''', it also takes a thing or two from the script/structure of that legendary shark flick. It has such similar plot points as having the inept and cowardly park supervisor who agrees to keep the park open despite the bodycount which continues to pile up, as well as having our three main heroes setting out to capture or kill the beast in the third act. Despite these familiar and recycled elements, as well as a music score which often feels lke it belongs in a made-for-TV movie, '''Grizzly''' still manages to be a fairly good time and one of the more simple, but effective, Eco-Terror flicks out there.
* 18 FEET OF TOWERING FURY!!
 
* The most dangerous jaws on land!!!
Consider this another gem from the tragically-cut-short career of William Girdler.
* 18 feet of gut-crunching, man-eating terror!
 
* Not since JAWS has the terror been like this!
