The original title "RED MACHINE" is in reference to what the film was inspired by - Timothy Treadwell aka 'Grizzly Man' and his tragic end. Treadwell appeared many times on Letterman and brought pictures of bears, he named them all. One in particular, he named 'The Big Red Machine'. It was one bear that truly terrified him. Early reports said that particular bear ate him and his girlfriend, but they were uncertain.
