Cocaine Bear focuses on a black bear's drug-fueled rampage, and one scene with Ray Liotta defies belief, even for the horror comedy's outrageous plot.
After ingesting several bricks of cocaine, a 500-pound black bear goes off on a drug-induced rampage in Cocaine Bear, concluding with a confrontation involving Ray Liotta's Syd White that seems impossible to survive. Throughout the horror comedy written and directed by Elizabeth Banks, the bear can't get enough of the white powder that fell from a smuggler's plane and littered the forest, turning her into a giant furry ball of chaos.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Syd has tracked his son Eddie and associate Daveed to the same national forest outside Knoxville, Tennessee where the duffel bag full of contraband landed. They've taken up with Sari and two children, who have already escaped the bear's incredibly high kill count. As they all cling desperately to a waterfall outside the bear's den, Syd makes one last play for the duffel bag, and the resulting tumult with the black bear defies credulity.
The bear is actually still alive in Cocaine Bear's post-credits scene, glimpsed through the camera of some nature lovers while she frolics with her cubs. Since she got shot several times with a rifle, it's surprising that she's so energetic. It's possible that the cocaine gave her some sort of power to heal, or more than likely, a way to take her mind off the pain of her bullet wounds.
Cocaine Bear's Survival Sets Up A Sequel Revenge Plot Beyond shooting the bear, Syd got her cubs inadvertently addicted to cocaine, and it's possible that he not only sealed his own fate but that of his offspring. Elizabeth Banks has talked about how a Cocaine Bear sequel would work, and it's possible that it could feature a revenge plot concerning the bear and Syd's family.
Considering how wild the movie's plot is, it's not impossible to think that a sequel to Cocaine Bear could focus on the bear going after the White family, specifically Eddie . It's also possible that the drug lords that Syd owed the cocaine to would come looking for the rest of the unrecovered cache all over the national park and run afoul of the bear.
