Yes, "Cocaine Bear" is based on a true story . . . but VERY LOOSELY based.
The reality is that in 1985, a drug kingpin tried to abandon his malfunctioning plane with 75 pounds worth of cocaine strapped to his body.
His parachute failed and he went splat in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia. A bear came along and ATE a bunch of that coke, then overdosed and died.
Well, you can still see the REAL "Pablo Escobear", because they STUFFED him and put him on display at the park. But he was STOLEN, then changed hands a few times. One of his owners was country star Waylon Jennings.
Now he's at the Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall in Lexington.

Elizabeth Banks directed this dark comedy about a black bear that ingests a duffel bag full of cocaine and goes on a rampage in a small Georgia town.
Ray Liotta is in it and this was his last film before he passed away last May. It's inspired by a 1985 true story of a black bear that overdosed on cocaine that had been dropped by drug smugglers.
The rest of the cast includes Keri Russell, Ice Cube's son O'Shea Jackson Jr., and Alden Ehrenreich from "Solo: A Star Wars Story."
