Synopsis
All hell breaks loose when a giant grizzly, reacting to the slaughter of her cubs by poachers, attacks a massive rock concert in the National Park. [This sequel to "Grizzly" (1976) was left unfinished after production wrapped prematurely in 1983, and was not officially released until 2020, though a bootleg workprint version had been in circulation for some years prior to this.]

Chicago Sun-Times
It’s just an awful and ridiculous and clumsily edited B-movie mostly of interest because of the name cast, an insanely horrible concert within the film — and the incredible back story about the making of “Grizzly II,” which could be great material for a fictional adaptation a la “Argo” or “The Big Short” or “American Hustle.” - 25
Chicago Tribune
It’s a pity Grizzly II: Revenge isn’t giddy-bad, the way Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room” delights so many. But it’s here, it’s seriously disoriented and disorienting. - 25
Movie Nation
“Grizzly II” never comes close to “so bad its good,” although there are laughs at how bad it actually is, here and there. - 20
The Guardian
Watching this film is a nightmare in all the wrong ways. - 20
Film Threat
The whole movie feels like an overlong Kickstarter set up for a The Disaster Artist-like treatment. Honestly, that would provide a far more fascinating story than the pureed plot provided here. - 0
The New York Times
Dopey dialogue and less-than-scrupulous continuity augment the ramshackle vibe of a movie that’s too inept to qualify as camp or cult. - 0
The Hollywood Reporter
Grizzly II: Revenge is so bad, it's just bad. - 0
Variety
“Grizzly II” never finds a rhythm — not even a giddily camp one.
