Cocaine Bear!!
Ha!



A drug transport went bad in 1985 and led to a plane ditching $15 million dollars worth of cocaine, which landed over the woods of Georgia. A bear found some of the cocaine and ate 75 pounds of it. The story became a legend in Kentucky, where the drug smuggler was from (he died parachuting from that flight). The bear is even on display in Lexington! Ever since the story came out in the papers, people have been talking about the movie that should be made from the story. For a long time, it fell into that category of "not believable enough." But times have changed. Now, Cocaine Bear has become a reality.

The movie appears to be a bloody gore-fest that is also a comedy. It has been highly fictionalized, since no one actually encountered the bear before it died, but can you blame them for bringing us an extra-large bear in a cocaine rage? Cocaine Bear will be in theaters February 24th.

Hollywood has pretty much gone to shit, but movies like this and Top Gun are rare gems in a sea of turds.

They worked this into Season 4 of Justified, with a twist, and without the bear. The Drew Thompson episodes of Season 4 Justified, the exchange between Raylan and Art Mullen is epic.... still, no bear, but shit loads of cocaine and a dead drug dealer with a failed parachute....



Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Art Mullen : First thing we're going to do is we're gonna acknowledge that this guy's awesome.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Rachel Brooks : What?

Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Art Mullen : I mean, he shoots Theo Tonin, fakes his own death in a spectacular fashion, pushes a guy out of an airplane while he's flying it, parachutes into Harlan County with enough coke and cash to jump-start the economy of a small country, and then he has the balls to get a job in law enforcement, not once but two times! He spends a couple of days riding around with you

[points at Raylan]

Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Art Mullen : while you're looking for him, and now he's run off with a hooker that's half his age. That's some bad-ass shit.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens : It's pretty bad-ass.

Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Art Mullen : Yes, it is. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You gonna let those guys [indicates state troopers] be the ones, or are we gonna be the ones that take that badass?

Sharks, man. Cocaine Shark. Fentanyl Orca. No, that probably wouldn't be so good, just a dead floating whale.

So bad movies are in my wheelhouse and I was aware of this movie and at some point when I am in a “bad movie” mood I will be all over this.

That said……you also had me at Meth Gorilla vs Viagra Moose I would watch that in a hot second. Smile
