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.
