Cocaine Bear
Crazy Bear
- The film starts with a smuggler named Andrew Thornton parachuting from a plane with a duffel bag full of cocaine. Unfortunately, he dies due to a malfunction in his parachute, and the bag of cocaine is left behind in the woods.
- A group of hikers, including a young woman named Ursula, stumble upon the bag of cocaine and decide to take it with them.
- As they continue their hike, they encounter a black bear, who also comes across cocaine and ingests a large amount of it.
- The bear starts to behave erratically, leading to a series of chaotic events, including a car chase and a shootout.
- In the meantime, a DEA agent named Donovan shows up on the scene, determined to find the stolen drugs and capture the traffickers who are responsible for them.
- A final showdown between the bear and the authorities results from its continued mayhem wandering through cities and neighborhoods. Ultimately, the cocaine causes the bear to pass away, and the smugglers who brought the drugs into the country are caught.
