George Clooney is one of the most beloved and successful actors in the world, just making it very surprising when I learned that his first film was a total disaster. "Bakes II: Revenge" was a horror thriller for the grizzy bear that goes on deadly rampage. However, despite being filmed in 1983, the film was put on the shelf because it was unable to complete some of its special effects as a result of lack of funding. But although initially expected to be delayed for a few years, The Grizzlie sequel has been postponed for four decadesEventually it was released in public in 2021.

You may think Clooney would be excited about his film with the intention of finally publishing it, but the actor reacted to the news more with light fear. "I haven't seen it - and I don't know I want," Clooney said The sun in 2021. "It was a bad time for hair and clothing."

Clooney's image in the film really sports Mule and Texas vest. He looks a lot Stereotypical 1980s; Far crying from the pleasant, well -dressed man we are used to playing. It does not help that the rest of "Grizzly II" is not great. In fact, nostalgia in the 1980s did not help the film when it comes to his critical reception. "It's not that bad, it's good," "," wrote Dennis Harvey for the variety"It's just a semi-assembled collection of parts that will never be whole."

The film was so bad, in fact, that Clooney compared it unfavorable with the widest panel film of his career. "I have a feeling that I found something worse than" Batman and Robin, "he said.

Part of why the reception to "Grizzly II" was so negative was false advertising. Despite being heavily depicting George Clooney, Laura Dern and Charlie Sheen in its promotional material, the film does not actually characterize these actors in any significant capacity. Clooney itself is only in the movie for a few minutes, so it feels dishonest to put its name in front of and center. Of course, they are huge names now, but in 1983, they will probably be thrown as red sides than as they lead. But 40 years later, these three are now easily the biggest film -related players, so it makes sense that his marketing team would like to earn it.

The other reason why Grizzlie II has descended so hard because, just like the original film "Grizzly", it is clear that there is only to earn the success of the "jaws". The film has a dangerous rampage animal and a figure of authority that does not care to stop. What does not characterize is the charm and competence that the "jaws" made so successful. And, let's be real: sharks are more Chinese than bears, so this species of premise never went to the opening of the original. There are Much better knockouts for "jaws" for choice.

Indeed, if you want to see a movie about the bear's rampage delivering to his marketing, you will be better Checking the "Cocaine Bear" directed by Elizabeth Banks. That horror comedy in 2023 was not difficult or with a high-art masterpiece, but at least it didn't lie in marketing about how much his actors were in the film. When it comes to the concept of 'jaws', but with a bear, "these were the banks that actually nailed him. I mean, just look at this wonderful nonsense:
