[Duchess]

for the life of me I have no idea how they filmed that bear scene

All of the trees surrounding Leo were made of rubber so that he wouldn't be hurt when he was smashed into them. He was strapped into a harness that the stunt team used to yank him around. The bear was actually a man in a blue smurf-like suit with the "grizzly" being added in post production. The man in the suit said he watched hours upon hours of grizzly bears attacking their prey and studied their characteristics and the way they moved.
