- DirectorAdriano StuartStarsHélio SoutoDionísio AzevedoMaurício do Valle"Jaws" spoof. The title means "Cod". A terrible monster threatens the beach season: the cod from Guinea.

- DirectorWilliam GirdlerStarsChristopher GeorgeAndrew PrineRichard JaeckelAn eighteen-foot-tall grizzly bear terrorizes a state park, leaving it up to a Park Ranger to save the day.
- DirectorAndré SzötsStarsGeorge ClooneyLaura DernCharlie SheenAll hell breaks loose when a giant Grizzly, reacting to the slaughter of Grizzlies by poachers, attacks at a massive big-band rock concert in the National Park.Note: This film was supposed to be released in 1983, but due to the disappearance of a producer and therefore lack of necessary funds, the Hungarian government seized all of the Grizzly II's equipment and footage, preventing it from completion. Another company, The Canon Film Group, purchased the footage in 1987, initially planning to complete the post-production and release it. This effort too would fail due to the new company's financial struggles, and the film fell into obscurity, having its entire existence debated for decades (mainly as its alumni of George Clooney, Charlie Sheen and Laura Dern seemed unbelievable to many people). However in 2007 an almost unwatchable film print was published on the internet, proving its legitimacy. In 2020, producer Suzanne Nagy announced that she had completed a cut of the film, and after a trailer dropped it was released and renamed "Grizzly II: Revenge".
