Tagline(s):	Giant Killer Grizzly Attacks Massive Rock Concert.
	The National Forest is No Longer Safe
	The Stage Is Set... And The Dinner Is Served.

Nomination Year: 2021

SYNOPSIS: Created in 1983, bought in 1987, lost in 1988, found in 2007, repurchased in 2020, and finally released in 2021. In some unnamed country (supposed to be the USA, looks like Canada, but is actually Hungary), a killer she-bear terrorizes the forest, just as a huge concert is about to take place. The film mostly seems to focus on the concert. And, oh yeah, a fakey animatronic bear puppet (when you can see the bear for more than a fraction of second) happens to be around. Enough star power to light Broadway, but not enough plot power to light a tea lamp.

Smithee Award Nominations

Inane Dialogue
Awful Big "We found some broken branches a good 18 feet off the ground." "Wait a minute. That makes this bear awful big." "Yep."	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Acting
Bearly Tolerable Acting Deborah Raffin (once nominated for a Worst Acting Razzie, unknown to me at the time of THIS nomination) tries to emote her way through the scene. Those poor bears. That poor audience.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Directors

Cast

Actor	Character	Claim to Fame
George Clooney	Ron	Once known as the handsomest man alive, Clooney has found much success on the big screen and small...but as we can see, it wasn't all Oscar bait. Was Doug Ross on "ER," played Batman in Batman & Robin, was Ocean of Ocean's Eleven through Thirteen, and Everett in O Brother, Where Art Thou?.
Laura Dern	Tina	Best known as Ellie in Jurassic Park, but was in lots of TV shows and movies like Blue Velvet (she's good friends with David Lynch).
Charlie Sheen	Lance	Martin's son and Emilio Estevez's brother. Plays happy-go-lucky, womanizing parts on TV shows like "Spin City" and "Anger Management." As famous for his drug use and wild lifestyle as his acting, the joke goes: How much cocaine did Charlie Sheen do? Enough to kill "Two and a Half Men!"
Louise Fletcher	Eileene Draygon	Nurse Ratched in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest; Kai Winn on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." Anywhere you need a harder-than- nails, rod- up-the-posterior, officious bitch, Louise Fletcher will be there.
John Rhys-Davies	Bouchard	Sallah in Raiders of the Lost Ark; later Arturo on "Sliders"; even later, Gimli in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Steve Inwood	Nick Hollister	Was Jesse in Staying Alive.
Dick Anthony Williams	Charlie Hill	Tends to play cops. Chief of Detectives Jonas Jones on "Our Family Honor;" Lt. Ed Van Duzer on "Heart of the City;" Abe Davis on "Homefront;" and Officer Allen in Edward Scissorhands.
Deborah Raffin	Samantha Owens	Was Casey Tcholok on "Noble House" and Julie on "7th Heaven." Nominated for a 1981 Razzie for Worst Actress in Touched by Love.
Deborah Foreman	Chrissy Hollister	Played Susan Decker in Real Genius and Julie Richman in the original Valley Girl. As well as a bunch of Smithee fodder.
Timothy Spall	Rob, the Uncredited Sound Guy	Distinctive chubby actor with a distinctive weasley face, you probably know him as Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew from the Harry Potter franchise. Also was Nathaniel in Enchanted, played Fagin on the "Oliver Twist" miniseries, and was Mr. Poe in A Series of Unfortunate Events.
