Ha! I recognized the one paramedic guy from his Twitter videos where he would rant as a store employee.

Well, that was certainly the most bonkers trailer I’ve seen for a movie in quiet some time.

I didn't realize how much I wanted to watch a coked-up bear going a bloody killing spree until now.

Looks insane.
I'm gonna do a few rails before watching it to make the viewing experience even more insane.

I can't believe that despite watching that magnificent trailer a few times I somehow missed, until I saw a tweet from Alan Sepinwall, that Matthew Rhys also appeared in that trailer (wearing a mustache). It's a full on The Americans reunion - - but with a cocaine bear!

Ok, THIS bear goes on a killing spree and we all celebrate it... Winnie the Pooh does it and we scoff and say "that's ridiculous" 
This looks great... I'm sure there are Hollywood liberties being taken but I'd love to know how much of this spree is true because I don't remember this story at all as a kid.

Certainly seems like Universal has cornered the market on horror comedies that are actually pretty decent, with the HAPPY DEATH DAY films, KRAMPUS, FREAKY, now this, and presumably others I'm forgetting.

Kevin Smith should be ticked...this is basically the idea he had for Moose Jaws. He makes that film now, it's just going to be called a "Cocaine Bear" ripoff.

It looks campy as hell, but it does look fun.

Guy I work with told me about this yesterday while laughing like a lunatic with tears in his eyes. He also sent me the trailer. He goes into fits of laughter even mentioning this insane film.
I hope it lives up to his expectations.

If this doesn't eventually lead to Cocaine Bear vs. Snakes on a Plane, I'll be devastated.
