A 2000 comedy-action film and parody of 70s cop movies and exploitation flicks, ''Big Money Hustlas'' was written by, produced by, and starred the Music/InsaneClownPosse. To fans of the group, the movie is a hilarious cult classic. To detractors, the movie is, well...you can probably guess what detractors think.

* TheFaceless: Hack Benjamin never takes off his gasmask. As with almost all public appearances, Violent J and Shaggs 2 Dope have their features obscured behind their signature facepaint.

* BreakTheFourthWall: Frequent.
* ButtMonkey: Officer Cox.

* ClusterFBomb: Every five minutes or so.
* ComedicSociopathy.

* CowboyCop: Sugar Bear[[note]]Dah dah dah dah DUN![[/note]].

* DaChief: Played by ''Jerky Boys'' star John Brennan.
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster.

* TheVoiceless: Hack Benjamin.

* EverythingsBetterWithNinjas: Not just {{ninja}}s, son, ''magic'' ninjas!

* WretchedHive: The city is so corrupt that prior to Sugar Bear's[[note]][[OverlyLongGag Dah dah dah dah DUN![[/note]]]] arrival there's only one cop on the entire force who isn't on the take.

* UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity: Or UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}}. It's all the same here really.
** This is lampshaded at one point via a VerbalBackspace from Big Baby Sweets.

* IAmNotSpock: Moore and Foley were cast specifically to reprise their well-known fictional personas.

* MoneyDearBoy: Wrestling/MickFoley mentioned in one of his books that he appeared in the movie partially as a favor to ICP, but mostly so he could get a SAG card and access to their excellent health insurance.

* NoBudget: At all. Halfway through the filming Violent J actually had to pay a hundred grand out of his own pocket to keep the production going.

In addition to Bruce and Utsler, the movie boasts a bizarre (but cool) menagerie of pop culture figures, including John Brennan of ''Jerky Boys'' fame, Rudy Ray Moore reprising his performance as [[Film/{{Dolemite}} "The Human Tornado" [=Dolemite=]]], Fred Berry aka [[Series/WhatsHappening Rerun]], porn star Kayla Kleevage, professional wrestler Mick Foley, and comedian Harland Williams. Fellow Creator/PsychopathicRecords recording artists Music/{{Myzery}}, Music/{{Jumpsteady}}, and Music/{{Twiztid}} also appear, as do famed punk rock group Music/TheMisfits.

* TheReveal: Big Baby Sweets' makeup is rubbed off, revealing that all along he was actually [[spoiler: Officer Cox!]] If you feel the need to point out that that doesn't at all make sense, you are CompletelyMissingThePoint.

* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Say what you want about Shaggs 2 Dope, but he rocks that fucking pimp suit like nobody's business! In fact, Violent J looks stylish in his bright red business suit as well.

* {{Sting}}: Any mention of Sugar Bear's name is followed by his trademark musical fanfare[[note]]Dah dah dah dah DUN![[/note]] .

* {{Sting}}: Any mention of Sugar Bear's name is followed by his trademark musical fanfare[[note]]Dah dah dah dah DUN![[/note]].

Set in New York, the movie stars Violent J (real name Joe Bruce) as Big Baby Sweets, a ruthless crime lord who has bought out the entire police force and rules the city with an iron fist, and his ICP partner Shaggs 2 Dope (real name Joey Utsler) as Sugar Bear[[note]]Dah dah dah dah DUN![[/note]], a streetwise loose cannon cop from UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco who speaks in rhyme and arrives in town intent on bringing Sweets to justice. The duo wear their trademark clown makeup throughout the entirety of the film, a fact which is never commented on by anyone.

* HoYay: Intentionally played for laughs with Big Baby Sweets and his sidekicks, Lil Stank and Big Poot.

The movie is a cult classic amongst ICP fans, who love it for its ridiculous humor and shameless camp value. Few of the rap group's many detractors bother to watch the film, and those few who do are less likely to appreciate it. A western themed follow-up titled ''BigMoneyRustlas'' was released in 2010.
