www.imdb.com/title/tt2231461/ 2018 Movie - Rampage. Very short look at a grizzly. What The Rock ( Dwayne Johnson ) has to say about the grizzly - right on the money. Was there even a bear in Rampage? I do not recall seeing one.

Yes there was. Dwayne Johnson said the grizzly was the strongest land predator which got killed by the fictional white ape.

Full on front comparison between a tiger and a grizzly, using the same individuals used in the other visuals comparisons. Over at Wildfact, Pckts argued that a tiger at equal size has greater girth of limbs, neck, and torso than a grizzly. He also argues that Baloo of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book is a sloth bear even though the author writes Baloo the big Brown Bear ( with capital B's ). Pckts is too juvenile to admit when he is wrong. He is a tiger fan-boy all the way. Walt Disney called Baloo a sloth bear, but dear old Walt was notorious for making big changes in the stories he re-wrote and filmed.

Looks like a Brown Bear to me. www.gutenberg.org/files/1937/1937-h/1937-h.htm The stream is shrunk—the pool is dry, And we be comrades, thou and I; With fevered jowl and dusty flank Each jostling each along the bank; And by one drouthy fear made still, Forgoing thought of quest or kill. Now ‘neath his dam the fawn may see, The lean Pack-wolf as cowed as he, And the tall buck, unflinching, note The fangs that tore his father’s throat. The pools are shrunk—the streams are dry, And we be playmates, thou and I, Till yonder cloud—Good Hunting!—loose The rain that breaks our Water Truce. The Law of the Jungle—which is by far the oldest law in the world—has arranged for almost every kind of accident that may befall the Jungle People, till now its code is as perfect as time and custom can make it. You will remember that Mowgli spent a great part of his life in the Seeonee Wolf-Pack, learning the Law from Baloo, the Brown Bear; and it was Baloo who told him, when the boy grew impatient at the constant orders, that the Law was like the Giant Creeper, because it dropped across every one’s back and no one could escape. “When thou hast lived as long as I have, Little Brother, thou wilt see how all the Jungle obeys at least one Law. And that will be no pleasant sight,” said Baloo.

The 1976 movie Grizzly starring Christopher George, Andrew Prine and Richard Jaeckel. Also Starring a Kodiak Bear aka 'Teddy' who was listed unofficially as 11 ft.tall. That is quite tall and not sure if that measurement was accurate or stretched a bit for the movie credits. However, Teddy portrayed a killer Grizzly who was 15 ft. tall and 2000 lbs. The movie is kind of cheesy, but fun to go back and watch every now and then as you can find the full movie on Youtube. You also get to see one of the so called myths that one paw swipe from a large Grizzly can decapitate moose. We'll in this movie we get to see a horse decapitated with one fell swipe.... Some production tit bits on the movie. The idea for Grizzly began when the film's producer and writer, Harvey Flaxman, encountered a bear during a family camping trip. Co-producer and co-writer David Sheldon thought the idea would make a good film following the success of Jaws. Girdler discovered the script on Sheldon's desk and offered to find financing as long as he could direct the film. Within a week, Girdler was able to obtain $750,000 in financing from Edward L. Montoro's Film Ventures International movie distribution company.
Grizzly was filmed on location in Clayton, Georgia, with many local residents cast in supporting roles. Catherine Rickman, who played one of the first victims, was actually the daughter of Clayton's mountain man, Frank Rickman. Though unintentional, the casting of George, Prine, and Jaeckel marked the second time this trio of actors starred together in the same film. They had previously played supporting roles in the Western Chisum (1970) starring John Wayne. A Kodiak bear nicknamed Teddy performed as the killer grizzly. Teddy was 11 feet tall and was the largest bear in captivity at that time. The bear was rented from the Olympic Game Ranch in Sequim, Washington, where he was kept behind an electric fence. The crew was protected from the bear by a piece of green string running through the shooting locations and a ticking kitchen timer. This resembled (to the bear) an electric fence. Actors and crew members were instructed to always stay on the camera side of the string. The bear did not actually roar, so it was tricked into making the motions of roaring by throwing several marshmallows into its mouth and then holding a final marshmallow in front of its face but not throwing it. The bear would stretch for it. The sound was artificially produced.

Cheryl ( my wife ) and I enjoyed this one too, in Savannah, Ga. It was one of several following Jaws.

I have watched "Into the Grizzly Maze" umpteen times. Its one of those movies where it takes some time to figure out all of the various relationships of people/whose who. Either not well written or not well directed; but a great cast... especially "The Big Red Machine" ( Bart #2 the Alaskan grizzly ). I enjoy this movie; but I can't call it great. Old Yeller is the quintessential dog movie. Jaws is the quintessential shark movie. Lake Placid is the quintessential crocodile movie. I am still waiting for the quintessential grizzly movie.

Lake placid eating a grizzly bear. I am waiting for the quintessential polar bear too.
