Big Money Hustlas

You gotta give props to the clowns for making their own movie... I meen come on, they funded everything themselves and had all of their friends play the parts (a few aside). Violent J's brother Jump Steady played like half the roles through the whole movie (listen to the commentary on the DVD) and never complained... so how can you complain when you are just sitting there watching it? If you don't like my comment or review thing or whatever then you are obviously not a Juggalo, and that's 'Scrait' (Lil' Poot style), but just don't be dissin' on something just cause the Wicked Clowns and Twiztid are in it.

Over-rated white hip hop outfit with cult following makes low budget film. Doesn't exactly sounds like a great achievement in modern cinema, does it? While it clearly fails at anything resembling conventional success, this movie does achieve a bizarre sort of diamond-in-the-rough eminence that you don't necessarily have to be a Faygo-loving Detroit native to appreciate. As someone who holds great disdain for the campy music and image of Insane Clown Posse, I obviously saw this movie with exceedingly low expectations. In the end, I came away seeing a movie with surprising cinematography, a plot that rises above the sheer inanity you're expecting, and far more than its fair share of both cheap and earned laughs.

The plot basically amounts to ruthless drug lord versus smooth renegade cop, an obvious parody of the blaxploitation cliché. The execution is certainly quite a bit more ambitious than what you'd expect from a movie made by musicians, especially considering the band's only two members don't appear on screen together until the last quarter of the movie. Since both the villain and the protagonist both wear face paint during all scenes of the picture, you can expect a great deal of heavy-handed silliness. However, when the plot turns serious, you care about the characters without things becoming corny or over done. There are still obvious complaints, arising primarily from poor acting, which isn't surprising. On the other hand, the underlying quality of this film is surprising, and makes it worth a view when you're in the mood for a cult film that is strangely entertaining.

Big Money Hustlaz is one of the biggest laugh riots I've ever seen. The entire thing makes fun of mainstream rappers and blaxploitation movies. I actually had to turn it off at one point to retain oxygen in my lungs from howlin' at Jamie Madrox & the Monoxide Child (from the band Twiztid), who both play the two funniest characters in this movie.

But it's ONLY 4 JUGGALOS! Don't you dare watch this movie if you aren't a fan of ICP.

And if you are, there's enough Clown Love for everyone!

I bought this movie the day it was released. I love it. Written by ICP's own Violent J, it is too funny for words, really. There is constant action and the acting, though it is meant to be a satire or farce, is actually not that bad...sometimes. But this movie is not really for the average movie watcher. Though some might find it funny, others will just dismiss it as being stupid and not really grasping what it is. What is it, you ask? It is for the Juggalos. What is a juggalo? I don't know.

Shaggy 2 Dope plays Sugar Bear, a rhyming parody of Dolemite. He teams with police chief Johnny Brennan (Jerky Boys) to go after the biggest gangsta in Detr...New York, Big Baby Sweets played by Violent J. Big Baby has a whole team of thugs including, Big Stank and Lil Poot (played by fellow rappers Twiztid), Bootleg Greg (Rerun Berry), and Hack Benjamin (Jumpsteady-Violent J's brother).

Sugar Bear must defeat them all with the help of whiny partner Harry Cox (Harlan Williams), and that's no easy task. But they're up for the job, especially when trained by Dolemite himself!!! See the action...see the excitement...see the big breasts!!! Go see Big Money Hustlas today!

MMFCL to all--this movie gets a 10 out of 10 from the Dallas down south Juggalo.

This is Harland William's best performance ever. Honk if you love Sugar!!
