Although the film certainly delivers on both halves of its title, the cocaine and the bear, it does so in a way that\u2019s likely to delight and surprise audiences who are eager to escape what\u2019s being churned out by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/movies\/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-ending-explained\/\">Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>How does a bear wind up with cocaine anyway?

Digital Trends has the answers for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning: Spoilers below for the entirety of\u00a0<em>Cocaine Bear<\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-what-is-cocaine-bear-about\" aria-label=\"What is Cocaine Bear about?\"><\/a>What is Cocaine Bear about?<\/h2>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cocaine-bear-2.jpg?fit=720%2C405&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two men hover over a passed out bear in Cocaine Bear.\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cocaine-bear-2.jpg?fit=720%2C405&#038;p=1\"><\/figure>\n<p>While the movie delivers on a bear getting addicted to cocaine in its first few minutes, things are less straightforward than you might suspect. The cocaine in question comes from a plane that ditched it in the sky in 1985. The drugs belonged to a kingpin named Syd, who eventually sends Daveed, one of his enforcers, and his screw-up son, Eddie, to Georgia to recover it.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, a police detective named Bob and another cop named Reba begin their own search for the missing drugs, and a nurse named Sari loses her daughter Dee Dee in these very same woods. There are also some foreign vacationers, a pair of park rangers named Liz and Peter, a couple of EMTs, and a local bum named Stache thrown into the mix for good measure, creating a surprisingly large ensemble cast that the bear can begin to pick off one grisly (or grizzly) kill at a time.<\/p>\n<p>The deaths come very early in the film, and a number of characters get maimed or dismembered before the movie\u2019s climax. One of the foreign vacationers is killed early in the film, and both of the EMTs get maimed as well. Peter the park ranger also gets attacked, and Bob eventually gets killed as well, but not by the bear. Instead, he is shot by Syd after he winds up in a standoff over the drugs.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-how-does-cocaine-bear-end\" aria-label=\"How does Cocaine Bear end?\"><\/a>How does Cocaine Bear end?<\/h2>\n<div data-provider=\"youtube\">\n<p>Cocaine Bear | Official Trailer [HD]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The film\u2019s climax begins following Bob\u2019s death, as Eddie and Daveed stand up to Syd, who is threatening to kill Reba as well. Reba doesn\u2019t show up in the woods until the third act, and that\u2019s also when you learn that she has actually been working with Syd. Eddie, who is mourning the loss of his wife, decides to step off after he begins to understand that there are children in the woods who need his help.<\/p>\n<p>Dee Dee has been taken by the bear and brought back to her den to be with her cubs and the cocaine. Syd eventually tries to recover the cocaine, unable to let it go, and is maimed by the bear as a result. Daveed is nearly killed in the ensuing brawl, but Sari is able to save his life, and they are able to save Dee Dee and exit the woods, leaving both the cocaine and the bear behind.<\/p>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cocaine-bear-1675867257-1.jpg?fit=720%2C405&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A woman hides from a bear in Cocaine Bear.\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cocaine-bear-1675867257-1.jpg?fit=720%2C405&#038;p=1\"><\/figure>\n<p>Eddie resolves to become a better father, as Syd has been looking after his young son. Sari and Dee Dee, meanwhile, grow closer to one another as mother and daughter.<\/p>\n<p>There are two post-credits stingers. The first reveals that a dog has been nibbling at Daveed\u2019s fingers, which were shot off by Syd earlier in the film. The second reveals that Stache found a duffel bag filled with cocaine, and decided to keep it for himself. Plenty of people survived the bear, but who knows when she might strike again?<\/p>\n<div data-location=\"below-content\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dt-daily-logo.png?fit=430%2C140&#038;p=1\">\n\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tToday&#8217;s tech news, curated and condensed for your inbox\t\t<\/p>\n<div data-recipient-list-id=\"63cefa9b42d5ee001edfb994\">\n<p><i><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tCheck your inbox!\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPlease provide a valid email address to continue.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tThis email address is currently on file.

It&#8217;s worth noting that, for much of the Infinity Saga, Ant-Man was a relatively minor character. He had two movies of his own, but they were basically light-hearted romps, and it was only with\u00a0Endgame\u00a0that it started to become clear how pivotal the character could be to the future of the MCU.<\/p>\n<p>That promise has been fulfilled with Quantumania, which puts Ant-Man\u00a0at the center of introducing Kang, the villain who will come to define the next few years of Marvel stories. As a result, Quantumania\u00a0is much more serious and tie-in oriented than previous Ant-Man installments, and it&#8217;s left some fans wondering where the franchise could be headed from here. With those things in mind, here are a few things Marvel should do in a potential fourth Ant-Man\u00a0movie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/movies\/what-wed-like-to-see-in-ant-man-4\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tRead more\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/movies\/cocaine-bear-ending-explained\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Joe Allen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Allen February 23, 2023 6:11PM While it may be loosely based on a true story, Elizabeth Banks\u2019 crime comedy Cocaine Bear\u00a0is slightly less predictable than you might imagine.
