5.0 out of 5 stars
for the hatchet family, September 11, 2004
so so so many quotes in this movie, i thought everyone would think it would be funny, but i showed it to a couple of friends who just looked bored. of course, half the stuff in this movie is inside jokes. it was great seeing mick foley in action whoopin shaggy's @ss. it was also great watching jumpsteady playing as hack benjamin shooting a missle at a building as sugar bear gets his groove on with the extremely big boned missy. all of sugar bear's lines rhyme except for when he's getting so stoned and dolemite had to come and set him straight. jumpsteady played many many roles in this movie, just check to see if you can see him everywhere. harland williams (kenny from half baked) plays as a little wussy 'smack me around' cop who just adds to the flavor. jamie madrox and monoxide child were great as cry baby bodyguards and the guy from the jerky boys played as the chief of police in a fat suit. you have magic ninjas and corrupt preachers and a gorrilla trying to rob a donut shop who gets his @ss beat with another great quote from sugar bear.
get this movie with the special features. the videos are great to watch and the commentary is just as funny as watching the movie. this is about the only movie i have found that would make that true. magic magic ninjas whut, magic magic ninjas whut!

3.0 out of 5 stars
It's not good, but it's not bad, either...An honest review, February 10, 2001
This review is from: Big Money Hustlas: The Movie [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have only been an ICP fan for about two years now, but when I got into them, I REALLY got into them. Once I looked beyond the initial reaction of their gut-wrenching slaughterhouse carnival lyrics, I realized that their gimmick is one of the best out there: they justify their crusade against domestic violence, ignorance, the selfish upper-class, and bigotry with... more violence! Well, since I first heard them I have bought everything they put out. I could have burned copies from my friends or downloaded their entire library for free, but that wouldn't be good enough when it comes to this Detroit duo. I have seen most of their music videos, and even though Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are just a pair of inner city D-town scrubs who made it big through the underground scene, these guys CAN act. Their body language and facial expressions really convey the personalities of the characters they are portraying at any given moment. So when I bought Big Money Hustlas, I knew it was going to be a terrible movie, but something I just had to have anyway. Well, I was right on both counts, which is why I give it three stars. If you are a juggalo, it's beyond a 5; if you're not, and you are just looking for a nice comedy to watch with your lady friend, giving it 1 star would be far too generous. You have to know what these guys are about to be able to enjoy this. With all of their success, they have never forgotten who they are or where they came from, which is why they go out of their way to be the first to make fun of themselves. The first time I watched it, my reaction was, "This is even worse than I thought!" But by the end of the week I had watched it from start to finish more than 5 times, which just goes to show what a clever movie it is. You have to realize that ICP intended for this movie to look low-budget. Not in picture quality (which is excellent), but in the special effects, props, and scenery. These guys have the money to make just about any kind of production they want, but in keeping with the '70s theme of pimped-out detectives like Shaft and Dolemite, they had to make it look like it was put together in someone's basement or it would lose its credibility. The parts of the movie that would make most people say, "That's stupid!" only go to show how talented they are for deliberately making the movie that way. The characters are great, and the roles played by Twiztid (who took off the face paint for this special occasion) really grow on you. My friend and I watched BMH over the summer, and we still toss out lines from the movie when we get together. So there you have it: buy this movie, but watch it with an open mind. Give it a chance and you just may be surprised. On the other hand, you may also feel like you wasted your money. All in all, this is a movie not for the young, just for the young-at-heart. Myself, I'm anxiously awaiting the DVD release later this month so that I can enjoy it all over again. Much clown love!

Running with the meat cleaver, August 7, 2000
This review is from: Big Money Hustlas: The Movie [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie was the atom bomb. I was sure it would have funny moments, being ICP, but this piece of juggallo land had me rolling from the moment I popped it in until way after the last credits rolled. If you're a juggalo, you should own Stranglemania, Stranglemania 2, and Shockumentary, but YOU MUST OWN BIG MONEY HUSTLAS.
