A few years back I saw Grizzlies in a sanctuary in Montana. They were unbelievably huge. Like, paws that would cover my whole face. Really, they shouldn't be in human care at all, but some can't be safely released in the wild.
Bear on bear violence! #Monsterdon
"Hey, let's cuddle the wild cub, they're so cute!"
WE'VE GOT TO CLOSE THE BEACHES #Monsterdon
Whoops, slipped into a Wes Anderson camping movie. Sorry, folks. #Monsterdon
Kids camp, awesome! They taste like chicken! #monsterdon
There's a 1976 Canadian tuxedo
"Well that means he's established his territory"
Sir his territory is clearly BABES
"If you ain't a big bag of grits."
No, polenta. #Monsterdon
She got et.
I can't believe they fired me from my job writing descriptive text for subtitles.
#monsterdon
Because we are unusually efficient in this movie, we decide to go ahead and tell people to evacuate the park because there's a Murder Bear there. But the National Park visitors insist that the Camping and Hiking must go on, so they flock to the park in droves anywhere.
Bring the bear in for questioning
I don't understand the aggression in this scene, are they just so butch and 70s they have to shout at each other?
I'm just making up this mother/cub theory straight outta my ass
"Everybody just fan out and kill everything you see"
Oh nice, the bear re-built the shack before he left! #Monsterdon
"What story does this face tell you?"
Cannibal Men of the Moon. #Monsterdon
What a disarming scene
Does the bear also have a machete? #Monsterdon
β Wandering off to pee
This music is aggressively cutesy, I'm fully expecting some sort of hard rock Black Sabbath shit for the attacks. #Monsterdon
"Clean boots before entering" cop boy here should've scraped his face #Monsterdon
"Now I want a hard target search of every elf tree, gnome hut, witch's cottage and teddy bear picnic in this valley!" #Monsterdon
Every one of these hippie assholes is going to get eaten by a giant bear
This music is offensively jaunty. I am offended by this jauntiness!
#Monsterdon that was, a movie. LOL. Rawr. Kaboom. Jaws in the Forest.
LOL! πππ That bear blowed up real good! π»π₯π₯π₯
They could've fed the bear all the red herrings
Kelly's love life, Don's war past, Kittridge's ambitions, Scott's theories, whatever that was with the reporter - all went nowhere
Grizzly is not bad bad, it's not good bad. It's mediocre bad.
Prophecy still reigns supreme as the best bear movie for me.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976
The bear was completely vaporized
@RamenCatholic Right? Like I picture chasing after one, "Come baaaack! I wanna hug!"
Tubi roulette landed on.....#monsterdon
if you can't get enough Girdler after that, I highly recommend Day of the Animals (1977) - More Girdler, more animals! (and Leslie Nielsen being an asshole)
#Monsterdon
THEY BLEW IT UP. THEY BLEW IT ALL TO HELL! #monsterdon
Of all the possible endings, that was the most disappointing and the least fulfilling of the movie's promises. Could he not have at least taken its head off with the rotors? (I mean, the best ending would be Bear Wins, but barring that...)
Fuckin A. Thanks #monsterdon pals. Cap off your labor day tomorrow evening at 8 P ET with #MondayActionMovie.......Take care. See ya soon.
And a battlefield tactical nuke saves the day #Monsterdon
Wait - he's got a rocket launcher. lol
In his dying moments Double Denim explains how Immigrants are not the problem, it is the Rich
They're chasing a bear through a forest in a helicopter. And it's the climactic action sequence. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976
BEAR IS HIJACKING THE HELICOPTER!
Okay he's not as big as they claim he is, but that is still a BIG BEAR.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976
"Programmed like some kind of damn computer." A young Stephen King gets an idea #monsterdon #darktower
Check out the Revenant here
Hugs! Hugs of death and friendship! #Monsterdon
I really wish the bear was spelling something out with where he leaves his kills.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976
Scottie just looked tired. Like. "Well, fuck."
@CactuarJoe I think the bear should take the helicopter and fly back to the Kodiak Archipelago where he belongs.
HA HA HA YESSS YESSSSS!!!! #Monsterdon
Kodiak bears just have the sweetest faces
The one in this movie is a Kodiak named Teddy who was unusually large at 11ft
#monsterdon
#monsterdon Look, Grizzly, I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but there's a lot more meat on a horse than there is on a human.
How Not To Be Seen #Monsterdon
lol, so he should have stayed dead then?
Family Guy (1976) starring Scottie.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976
@nev that's definitely a Chuck TIngle book
"Nnngh. I'm half buried and sticky... Did I miss something fun?" #Monsterdon
I haven't seen a single flashlight in this whole movie, and they're all traipsing around the forest at night, inspecting footprints, navigating to distant ridges, etc.
This outfit is giving "alternate universe where Jaques Cousteau was a forest ranger"
Soundtrack says Scottie does not get et at this time. #monsterdon
Yes, I'm sure these guys can totally catch up to a 15-foot bear on foot. Makes total sense.
Y'know, in Alaska they would have done this whole chase in a cute little helicopter.
@yatsu There was a partial gut wound/cut but the guts didn't spill out when it was dragged so maybe it was a dummy? Not sure though.
The bear knows what a bolt action sounds like, huh
Run with a loaded gun to where your friend is!
#Monsterdon
The bear has a cloaking device? How can he hide when he's 30 feet tall?
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976
It's a bear theory called "territoriality."
#monsterdon
Chekhovβs helicopter
#monsterdon
@strangefour huh I think a lot of people are watching ad-free versions... we're 1h7m in
I can't get over the ketchup-covered kid tossed in the hay.
Friend: "The bear just telepathically ate those two people"
#monsterdon The bear is full of coca-cola and mentos.
This movie would be better if all the Arguing Ranger scenes were replaced with this dialog:
Ranger 1: "Well... a murder bear killed someone again."
Ranger 2: "Well... fffffuuuuuucccccckkkkk."
HE'S ALIVE!?
"Part of him is."
Okay that's grim, I'll allow it.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976
...Does the bear have a mouth on its stomach? How'd it bite the kid's leg off with its head in the air? #Monsterdon
Okay now the soundtrack's just straight up ripping off Jaws. Like, come on. #Monsterdon
The filming location is Clayton, Georgia, USA. I've spent a bit of time in Georgia, but didn't see landscape like that. More mountainous than I realized. Nice.
...Okay I guess we're done with that scene? #Monsterdon
I appreciate the theramin rockin' out in a 70s horror film about a bear. That was a solid choice.
Objects in binoculars are closer than they appear #monsterdon
The annual running of the hicks #monsterdon
How old are these actors? They sound and look like they're in their 50s but the gravel voices make me think they're 30 y.o.s with 15 years of smoking under their belts.
Ugh β Human Arrogance fully manifest in this guy's smug-ass voice.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976 check snopes on that story pls
@Taweret i think this is why i don't remember much of this movie despite having seen it a few times #Monsterdon
This park is lousy with loons. Maybe that's why the bear is angry, it can't get any sleep..
In the next obligatory Angry Park Ranger scene, Ranger Kelly is mad at the Park Supervisor for opening the park and summoning hunters to try to shoot the bear, because this is dangerous. They snarl at each other over who is the real owner of the park, Ranger Kelly who has prowled the woods or the supervisor who has more Manager levels.
We watched Summer Rental at #sundayfunnies this morning and now I'm reminded of another classic 80's Candy film....#monsterdon
@nev the ones that are in the river seem to be doing great, they are just constantly munching. the ones at the waterfall are just showoffs #BearFeed #Monsterdon
Shout out to Hunter Orange Hat for being A) the first boy to be targeted by the murder bear and B) the first person targeted by the bear to not die (yet).
With the way it just cut away from the bear's head, I expect the bear to have some super scary head, and I will absolutely be disappointed.
Idiot dropped the gun, his pole dancing won't save him now
that way bears can go from "cuddly clownish giant rug" to "violent monster" depending on their mood...
@Taweret I'm not sure about superpowers but from the grunting it might have really bad asthma. #monsterdon
