The irony of all this, is that Ted Demme died in 2002 due to a cocaine-related heart attack. As a result, when released, he gets rich by bringing cocaine to America.

Blow is directed by Ted Demme and stars Johnny Depp as real life drug smuggler George Jung, who was part of the Medellin cartel run by Pablo Escobar that at one point had an 85% market share of all cocaine imported into America in the late 70s early 80s.
