> And the other guy who was present when the film was shot is known to be highly respected and full of integrity. A real straight shooter.

You knew him personally? What is his name?

Bob Gimlin.

Yes, really. They can do it with computer graphics, but not costumes. Computer graphics didn’t exist when the film was made. Spandex didn’t even exist yet.

I was talking to my mother in law and she said - "Bob Gimlin that straight shooter!" this confirms everything.

Bear costumes in the 1970s is also quite hard to imagine.
