Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaInspired in part by a true event in 1985 when a corrupt Kentucky cop and lawyer-turned-drug smuggler, Andrew Thornton, flew in a smuggling run, dumping packages of cocaine over Georgia before attempting to escape with nearly 80 pounds of it strapped to his body. However, the parachute malfunctioned (possibly from the extra weight), and Thornton fell to his death in a Knoxville, Tennessee, resident's driveway. 40 kilos of the thrown packages landed in a national forest and were consumed by a black bear who overdosed most likely within minutes, dying from cerebral hemorrhaging and respiratory and heart failure, after eating $20 million worth. With the lone exceptions of Thornton and the bear, no other casualties have ever been reported.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, Hanna Hoekstra playing (Elsa) calls her fiancé "Kristofer" instead of Olaf. Olaf is the character's name; Kristofer is the actor who plays him.

Bear: ROWR!
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There are two mid-credits scenes. The first one shows Kid escaping the massacre with one of the bags of cocaine and hitching a ride to New York. The second one shows Eddie and Daveed return to Eddie's son with Bob's dog.

Featured review
First, I really enjoyed the movie even it's flaws. I expected less from the first half of the movie. So it was great entertaining.
Second, the second half is extremly weird and predictable. Even the overused CGI almost ruined any credibility of the supposed "based on a real story".
Third, overall, the movie is funny, goofy, crazy, dumb and forgettable, just because the plot. A bear sniffing cocaine the whole movie.
Last, I am not going to spoil anything saying the premise was crazier than the execution, because the really weak script. It could have been a masterpiece, but instead you got an over the average gory crazy bear feast.
To add, this was the last Ray Liota's movie, so respect for him.
