* {{Sequelitis}}: ''Grizzly II: The Revenge'', fullstop. After taking almost ''40 years'' to complete, a cheaply hacked together mess with modern, pristine footage used to finish an incomplete film from the 1980s is the end result. The grizzly attack scenes are a mess with HD stock footage of bears filmed with high-def cameras attacking actors in grainy, decades-old footage, with the three highest billed cast members simply being the film's opening kills, the story is an incomprehensible mess with not one character written deep enough to care about, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and it makes absolutely zero mention of the first movie.]] The general consensus is that Grizzly II should have remained unfinished if that was the best that could be done.

* CommonKnowledge: Susan Backlinie (Chrissy from ''Film/{{Jaws}}'') does not appear in this movie despite persistent claims (including, for a time, IMDB) that she does. Backlinie did appear in William Girdler's later ''Film/DayOfTheAnimals'', along with an unrelated family film called ''The Grizzly & the Treasure''.

** A number of websites also claim that Teddy, the animal actor playing the grizzly, was the father of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_the_Bear Bart the Bear]], but there doesn't seem to be any hard evidence for this.

* FridgeHorror: How many people did the bear kill ''before'' it entered the park, where it's rampage would have a greater chance of being noticed? The novelization explains that its mother abandoned it before teaching it how to hunt properly and that it seriously injured its jaw sometime after. Yet it's twice the size of an adult grizzly by the time it starts killing people on screen. It certainly didn't get that big by eating nuts, berries, and picnic baskets and being too injured to hunt properly is a number one reason large carnivores turn to man-eating.

* SoundtrackDissonance: In a movie about a giant killer bear that's devouring everyone in its path, half of the music sounds like something you'd hear either on a ''National Geographic'' documentary or one of Disney's live action/nature films.

* NightmareFuel: The bear is extremely violent. The film is also surprisingly bloody, and features a truly horrifying scene where it attacks a child and tears their leg off.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: When not using the live bear, it's rather obvious when the film uses a guy in a bear suit or bear paw gloves. Also, save for one shot towards the very end, the actors and the bear are never in the same scene.111
