The film is inspired by the real story of a 175-pound American black bear that died after ingesting a duffel bag full of cocaine in December 1985. The cocaine was dropped out of an airplane piloted by Andrew C. Thornton II, a former narcotics officer and convicted drug smuggler, because his plane was carrying too heavy a load. Thornton then jumped off the plane with a faulty parachute and died. The bear was found three months later in northern Georgia alongside 40 opened plastic containers of cocaine. The bear is currently on display at the Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall in Lexington, Kentucky. "Cocaine Bear" was coined by Coleman Larkin in 2015.

I'm so in.

I just went to the "World Premiere" of a movie called Cocaine Snorting Crabs from Outer Space last month, wonder if this takes place in the same universe.

I feel like this is a spiritual successor to Snakes on a Plane in how ridiculous this premise is. I'm in.

First off, this movie is going to be fucking amazing.

Second, as stated, cocaine bear exists and his current home is in a Kentucky Museum. They have cocaine bear merch that is fantastic. The story of how this museum sought out and ultimately came in possession of cocaine bear is as fucking crazy as this movie, involving Chinese restaurants, pawn shops, and an outlaw country music legend.

Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space getting a wider release. I saw both of these films, I preferred Crabs, but I'm a sucker for zero budget films, so go in with those expectations.

A friend of mine has put together a combination Cocaine Bear/Scarface outfit and will be attending some con in Pennsylvania this weekend as Yogi Montana. He got an inflatable gun labeled "Boo Boo" to be his little friend but unfortunately it won't stay inflated.

Google says it's on Peacock, but I'm unable to verify that at the moment.

Edit: Confirmed it is on Peacock.
