The "lost", unfinished GRIZZLY 2: REVENGE (aka: THE PREDATOR) features Laura Dern, Charlie Sheen, and George Clooney in early roles as campers / monster-bear fodder. While it's fun to see them in their younger years, their collective screen time is about 5 minutes. There are other potential victims roaming around, including a group of wonderfully loathsome poachers.
The bulk of the story consists of a so-called "concert" being performed in the same park that had been terrorized in the first movie. This event, overseen by an extremely peevish Louise Fletcher, is certainly a spectacle to behold! Combining elements from -that era's- MTV and DANCE FEVER, it's more like one mammoth, lethargic, 1980's exercise video!
Meanwhile, wild-eyed hunter / gatherer, John Rhys Davies stalks about looking for the title creature, which turns out to be a fur-covered cyborg. It all ends in an explosive finale of madness and spandex, making little sense.
Perhaps, this one is best left unfinished...
score 2/10
