FAN-EDITS
GRIZZLY 2: THE PREDATOR (1983/2011)
David Sheldon
This sequel was never actually completed or released! This fan edit attempts to complete the film by adding bear footage & a musical score. Unfortunately the picture quality isn’t so good, but it is the ONLY watchable version you will find!
