This time, instead of a bear , Cocaine Shark features a man-eating great white shark that accidentally consumes cocaine and causes havoc among unsuspecting sailors. The film uses stop-motion animation instead of traditional visual effects to keep costs down, giving the production an atmosphere similar to the horror movies of yesteryear. The film was produced by the same producers who created The VelociPastor . Check out the trailer!
While Cocaine Shark is a parody, Cocaine Bear is based on a real incident where a black bear was found dead next to 40 containers of cocaine that had been dumped in the Tennessee forests.
I felt very sorry for the side effects after this war on drugs. I just thought, ‘Well, then this movie could be the story of this bear.’ It just gave me a point of view and purpose to do it. For example, there is a real message here: “We should not mess with nature, nature will prevail.”
