What’s the difference between the title star of Cocaine Bear and…well, every other bear? The answer should be pretty obvious but, leaning into the absurdity of the movie’s premise, producers have shared a clip that breaks it down for you. In the context of the movie, the cocaine turns the bear into basically a super-bear, allowing it to scale trees and track down victims way faster and more effectively than he could in a normal situation. The movie is loosely based on a true story, which a drug smuggler dumped a duffel bag of cocaine out of his plane because the plane was too heavy. Thornton intended to recover the bag himself, jumping out of the plane with a parachute, but in a bizarre twist of fate, the parachute was faulty, and Thornton died. Three months later, a 175-pound black bear was found dead in Georgia, alongisde 40 opened plastic containers of cocaine.
