Neglect ‘Cocaine Bear’ Right here Comes a ‘Meth Gator’ Film

2023 is a hell of a rush.

It has already given us a film a few bear that takes cocaine. (Known as, considerably appropriately, Cocaine Bear.) In opposition to all odds, Cocaine Bear has simply turn out to be one of many 12 months’s first shock hits on the field workplace, grossing a powerful $23.1 million in its opening weekend. (You recognize what you should buy with $23.1 million? Me neither.)

Effectively, that type of success will get folks’s consideration — particularly the makers of “mockbusters” over at The Asylum, who concentrate 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 a few drug-fueled monster. It’s referred to as, Assault of the Meth Gator.

Of their tweet asserting the movie, they even joked in regards to the Cocaine Bear connection. “Maintain our bear… I imply, beer,” they wrote.

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

As for the ludicrousness of a movie a few gator on meth, nicely it’s no extra absurd than a film a few bear on cocaine. Each are type of based mostly on true tales. Only a few years in the past, there have been reviews of a Tennessee city warning residents to not flush their medicine (and notably their meth) down the bathroom, lest the medicine get into the water provide and make their approach to some unsuspecting gator, thus making a manic killer croc. Right here’s a Time Journal 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. However then what do you do for the threequel? I personally want to see an Ecstasy Sloth; I feel that has plenty of comedic potential.
