Forget ‘Cocaine Bear’ Here Comes a ‘Meth Gator’ Movie

2023 is a hell of a rush.

It has already given us a film about a bear that takes cocaine. (Called, considerably appropriately, Cocaine Bear.) Against all odds, Cocaine Bear has simply turn out to be one of many yr’s first shock hits on the field workplace, grossing a powerful $23.1 million in its opening weekend. (You know what you should purchase with $23.1 million? Me neither.)

Well, that form of success will get folks’s consideration — particularly the makers of “mockbusters” over at The Asylum, who focus on (lovingly) ripping off big-time Hollywood motion pictures with lesser stars and smaller budgets. Over the weekend, as Cocaine Bear was getting moviegoers all throughout the nation excessive (on life), The Asylum revealed they had been prepping their very own film about a drug-fueled monster. It is named, Attack of the Meth Gator.

In their tweet saying the movie, they even joked in regards to the Cocaine Bear connection. “Hold our bear… I mean, beer,” they wrote.

A followup tweet confirmed that, sure, that is a actual film (properly, real-ish. It’s as actual as an Asylum film will get anyway.)

As for the ludicrousness of a movie about a gator on meth, properly it’s no extra absurd than a film about a bear on cocaine. Both are form of based mostly on true tales. Just a few years in the past, there have been reviews of a Tennessee city warning residents to not flush their medication (and notably their meth) down the bathroom, lest the medication get into the water provide and make their approach to some unsuspecting gator, thus creating a manic killer croc. Here’s a Time Magazine video on the story:

That’s greater than sufficient of a premise for a Meth Gator film — and for the inevitable crossover sequel, Cocaine Bear vs. Meth Gator. But then what do you do for the threequel? I personally want to see an Ecstasy Sloth; I believe that has a lot of comedic potential.
