Twin Peaks, obviously, but more to the point of this post, when it’s
Grizzly II: The Revenge (aka
Grizzly II: The Concert, aka
Grizzly II: The Predator). Seven years after William Girdler’s
Grizzly (1976), still one of the most entertaining of the
Jaws (1975) knockoffs, an unrelated sequel went into production in Hungary. Principal photography was reportedly completed, but it was shelved before special effects, gore, and remaining shots of the killer bear were ever filmed. Nearly forty years later, though, the sequel has finally been released.
