... Well that's a subtitle
#monsterdon

and so the bear exploded

as they do

ty for joining, everyone!!!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

is everyone else's mind wandering during the non bear attack scenes

#Monsterdon

my brain during the non bear attack scenes

#Monsterdon

oh my fuck the monster actually is the privatization of public land #monsterdon

Remember when there was a woman photographer whose father ran a mountain resort? That was in this movie, believe it or not!

#Monsterdon

I am fully aware of how dangerous bears can be but also when they run they just look so galumphy and cute

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

#Monsterdon

Listen, I've seen a lot of monsters spontaneously explode for literally no reason

But none have been QUITE that funny :D #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Gary Larson predicted this.

This whole movie is just the backstory behind the vicious bunny in The Holy Grail

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

That movie didn't have anything you need for a movie. At no point did they even approach the idea of being a movie #monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Grizzly, from 1976, ends our veggie monster streak, replacing it with something distinctly more mammalian. Among the regular bear necessities, we also had,

they fuckin bazookad the bear. the movie ends with them shooting a bazooka at the bear. and then it's over #monsterdon

Scotty getting BEARied

AHAHhahaha

Sorry

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

ah yes the conflict in this movie is the potent career advancement opportunities available in the bureau of land management #monsterdon

Oh christ, of course, an "Old Indian Legend" 9_9 9_9 9_9 #Monsterdon

This guy needs a jacket with tiny bears all over it. #Monsterdon

This plot has no through-line. Like, there's no story being told here, it's just a series of events that happen one after the other. #Monsterdon

Yeah we're getting more than the normal amount of 70's Guy Pissing Matches in this flick. #Monsterdon

Putting out a deer carcass as bait when the bear has CLEARLY expressed his desire for babes and toddlers

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Did he just check for a pulse with leather gloves on

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

OH HO, IRONIC NO HUNTING SIGN, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE MOVIE

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Looking back on it, most of us were surprised by the rocket launcher. Handy plot device though, need to wrap it up quick?
Rocket launcher.

Ideal for RomComs

#Monsterdon

They bazooka’d the bear tho

#Monsterdon

Sadly, the bear had eaten two propane tanks for lunch... #Monsterdon

So the bear killed him twice? That Grizzly is the Final Destination of bears.

#Monsterdon

there is too much "15 minutes remaining in the movie" to be having a pastoral jaunt through the forest right now. music make up your mind #monsterdon

me watching something that can run 10 times as fast as i can: damn how did it manage to go twice as far as me and get the food when i went running after it #monsterdon

I can’t believe Shelley Duvall armed with a broom wasn’t enough to defeat an 11ft grizzly. #Monsterdon

That bear is petty af! #monsterdon

Scotty getting sandwich-shamed

"Hello, Darwin? We found some nominees for your award."

#Monsterdon

#grizzly2 #monsterdon

I'm still watching the bear feed and there is so much more happening here than in that movie. there is drama over positioning, the thrill of the hunt, right now we are just watching a bear sitting and watching the water and i am enthralled #monsterdon

Normal Bear (1976): 1/5

It was a movie about a normal bear

#monsterdon #MonsterdonReviews

Oh, he hit the bear's fuel tank.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

WE COME IN LOW OUT OF THE RISING SUN, SCARES THE HELL OUT OF THE BEARS #Monsterdon

Okay, they're not selling the "monster bear" thing very well when they keep showing a real bear that's actually kinda' cute.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

"They don't like to stray."

For FUCK'S SAKE, read ONE DAMN BOOK about bears! Their hunting range is *massive*.

I did NOT expect this movie to piss me off more than Dracula: Prisoner of Frankenstein, but fucking hell.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

A necessary element of a Jaws ripoff is refusing to close the beach/cancel the winter carnival/cancel the boat race/close the national park
#Monsterdon

Hohoho.. Now the grizzly's got a gun.

#Monsterdon

Every face tells a story - and this bear likes to smack those stories right off ya

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Thanks, gang. It’s been a grueling week, so this has been a great diversion. Plus, now we finally have Grizzly off the poll! Thanks, @Taweret and co! #Monsterdon

We made it, just bearly! Thanks for the laughs everyone! :)

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Exit, pursued by a (cloud of) bear

#Monsterdon

*Mournful harmonica intensifies*
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

The bear's like, "Whoah, check it out! I'm as tall as the rotors! YOU GUYS YOU GUYS LOOK!!"

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

I... what? Movie you were so boring and then you went insane at the last minute.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Can't believe this film still has ten minutes left. #Monsterdon

park rangers that engage in enough standard operating procedure to set a lure and attempt to tranquilize the bear but then also engage in a footrace with a bear trying to chase it down when it doesn't immediately go for the lure on the first approach #monsterdon

One day we'll hit the next plot point. I'm certain of it. #Monsterdon

I love when we get a look at the actual bear. He's just hangin' out, havin' a good time. Like when a movie shows you Dangerous Wild Wolves and it's literally a bunch of huskies with wagging tails. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I wonder if the bear wants some soup.

I mean. He's been filling up on nothing but crackers. #Monsterdon

One of my favourite coffee cups since people are sharing Gary Larson bears. This is more of a Larsonesque #Monsterdon

@whiskeysailor @Taweret We never had this ask this about Swamp Thing.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Gen X turned out the way we did because we all saw so many mauled corpses on vacation. At the beach, in the woods, everywhere.

#monsterdon

So far the murder bear has only murdered women. I am not sure why. Until further information is provided, I will blame 4chan.

#monsterdon

Aaaaaannnd this is why we don't take perfume camping anymore

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

“Until the bear has been apprehended” Yeah, but what if it gets out on bail? #Monsterdon

Every time we watch one of these movies I start doing mental calculations about how much ketchup would be required for these scenes

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

If this shack's a shakin', a bear is lunch a makin'

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

@Taweret Textual jaundice was a common issue in the 70’s, fortunately by the 80's a cure was found.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Forget #grizzly1976 and #grizzly2. I’m about to be mauled by a savage and hungry beagle who thinks it’s already time for his midnight snackum. When do we get #Beagle on #monsterdon ?

@hollie @diazona “It was flavor-of-the-month casting, and I got lucky,” says Rhys-Davies, who was fresh off the success of 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark—in which he played loyal sidekick Sallah—as well as years of stage and screen work. He was hired for Grizzly II by Proctor, whom he mostly dealt with over the phone. “He was an amiable man,” Rhys-Davies says. “A little difficult to pin down, if you asked him particular questions. But I wasn’t asking, ‘Who are you? Are you a crook?’” #Monsterdon

Was the bear full of gasoline? #Monsterdon

Wow I laughed so hard I made myself dizzy, that awesome :D #Monsterdon

This is kinda the worst movie I can remember on Monsterdon. Like no it is not the worst made worst looking worst plot most aztec mummy cock tease movie, no.
But it started okay and just got slower and more boring all along leaving us all easily distracted. And then they blew the bear up. This did not feel like an exploding bear kinda movie at all. This was fuzzy Jaws on a budget.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

That bear blowed up real good.

#monsterdon

#obscureSecondCityReference

wHUT!?
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

And in the best traditions of #Monsterdon the film simply stops at this stage :D

Closing plot threads? Who needs it. Monster's dead, shut it down.

Leave the Scottie. Take the cannoli.

#Monsterdon

Grizzly: “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”
#monsterdon

Well he isn't going to get aHEAD of the bear now

AHAHhahahaha hahaha

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

The Revenant (1976) starring Scottie.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Impressive how the bear can teleport like that. #Monsterdon

This soundtrack is all over the place. I think I heard a theremin at some point

...a bearemin 🐻

#Monsterdon

i think the composer thinks that because the one guy has a cowboy hat on, this must be a western.

#monsterdon

The Little Helicopter That Could makes another glorious appearance ✨

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Wait I thought the bear only ate women?

...Olsen, anything you want to share with us? I promise it's a very progressive crowd. #Monsterdon

Cannibalistic
Hungry
Ursine

#monsterdon

Grizzlies can run like 30 miles per hour, this guy should have been dead by now

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Mm, 20-piece nugget meal. #Monsterdon

On the other hand I'm impressed they managed to get a shower scene in a wildlife movie. Like, that's dedication. #Monsterdon

A LITERAL BLOODBATH

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

"I tried to open a can of tomato soup and it got out of hand." #Monsterdon

That was watchable bad, and it kept getting worse while keeping us going. Thanks, @Taweret and the #monsterdon gang!

That was amazing. In the sense that I didn't know you could have that much gore and dismemberment in a PG movie in 1976. RIP every character except the ones who deserved it, I guess. #monsterdon

Bear feed, Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park (2025) - 5/5

It was a movie about a normal bears

https://youtu.be/73-EekdVVU8

#monsterdon #BearFeed

Wow! That is something! Splodeybear!
#monsterdon

lol, that ending was hilariously overwrought

#Monsterdon

@strangefour I can't stop laughing :D :D #Monsterdon

Oh I hope the bear takes the helicopter down <3 #Monsterdon

Oh no. The bear killed his deer friend!

#Monsterdon

I'm entertaining myself my imaging Scottie is played by a little Scottish terrier.
Riding on a horse through the woods.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Why is the bear always looking at the sky while mauling people?

#monsterdon

Grizzly, the prequel, is a cerebral procedural-bureaucratic thriller about the misincentives from government subsidized home insurance that encouraged homesteading and tourism in a natural bear habitat and the protagonist is John Stossel #monsterdon
