Trivia
This was the first time where Snoop Dogg and Pam Grier collaborated together on film. However, they first worked together when Grier reprised her titular role in Foxy Brown (1974) in the music video for Snoop Doggy Dogg: Doggy Dogg World (1994). Also featuring Tha Dogg Pound and The Dramatics, it was the third single from Snoop's debut album Doggystyle and won the 1994 MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video. Ricky Harris (Eddie Mack) also co-directed the video alongside Dr. Dre and appears in the video as Taa-Dow, the owner of the Carolina West nightclub in Los Angeles where the video is set.

Goofs
In the jump-rope rhyme it says of Jimmy Bones that "he has a switchblade loose and a diamond on his hand". The only knife Jimmy Bones is shown to carry is a Butterfly Knife, not a switchblade.

'Bones'

With a growing trend of rappers starring in their own movies, Snoop Dogg joins the pack with 'Bones'. Snoop plays Jimmy Bones, a 70s hustler, who is betrayed and murdered by some of his closest associates. Since the time of the murder, Jimmy's corpse is buried in the basement of an abandoned house in Bones' now seedy neighborhood. When a group of empty-headed teenagers buy the abandoned house, they unsurprisingly wake up Jimmy's spirit, resulting in Bones going on a bloody rampage for revenge.

What the heck are we to do with a movie like 'Bones'. Are we supposed to take it seriously as a horror movie. Or laugh at its silliness and Snoop's attempt at becoming a real-life 'Doggfather'. Whatever its intentions are, this movie doesn't have the feel of a horror movie. Rather, it feels more like one of Snoop's pot induced fantasies.

Rating: 5/10 or (2 stars)
