Belly is an 1998 American crime drama film written and directed by music video director Hype Williams, in both his debut role and only role directing a feature film to date. Filmed in New York City, it stars rappers DMX and Nas, the latter of whom wrote the story with Williams and Anthony Bodden. Taral Hicks, Method Man, and R&B singer T-Boz also star.The film begins in early 1999, with two young New York street criminals, Tommy "Buns" Brown (DMX) and Sincere (Nas), violently robbing a club along with their associates in crime. Although they're ruthless gangsters, Buns and Sincere both show signs of refinement and ambition. Sincere has become disillusioned with the street life, become enlightened to the plight of urban poor with the teachings of The Reverend, and seeks a virtuous life outside of crime. Buns, living in a high-class loft with girlfriend Keisha (Taral Hicks), only really values money and possessions and never seems satisfied with anything.The next day, Tommy overhears a news report of a new strain of heroin and sees it as a business opportunity. Sincere initially resists, but Tommy still convinces him to go along with the scheme. From there, the two experience highs and lows in their plans and their lives, and must ultimately come to grips with the destructive path their lives are headed down.Belly opened to controversy upon release, with its unapologetic look at street life being criticized as a demeaning depiction of black people, and critics further taking issue with the film's screenplay and performances. However, its highly stylized, noir-like visual design and cinematography received praise, and the film as a whole has gained a cult following.A Direct to Video sequel, Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club, was released in 2006.Not to be confused with the Alternative Rock band of the same name. | |

Foreshadowing: Buns mentions that before Lennox was a big time drug kingpin, he was a hitman in Kingston, Jamaica during the 1970s who slit the throats of his targets. This is the same way he meets his own demise. | |

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: Shameek (while posing as Ike Love) appears comedic and goofy when he meets up with Rico, but is later shown to be able to handle himself real well in the streets. Until he underestimates Keisha. | |

Villainous BSoD: Tommy, on the run from the law and desperate to raise money to pay back Lennox, ends up in Atlanta selling weed with Wise and La Kid, two young kids he was trying to mentor from young dumb thugs into educated gangsters like himself. One night at dinner, he drunkenly allows/instigates a stupid argument between the two kids to escalate from bad jokes to drawn guns, and La Kid shoots Wise straight in the head and walks off. Tommy, drunk off his ass and regretful about not stopping the conflict, just sits there and smokes a blunt, waiting for the cops to arrest him. | |

Tionne draws her weapon followed by Shameek and crew doing the same. Despite having superior numbers and firepower, Shameek leaves the premises and Tionne is left alone unharmed as neither side fired a shot. | |

Evil is Cool: Subverted. Nobody except Tionne and Sincere really seems too worried about the morality of being robbers and drug dealers, and the beginning robbery and the drug-dealing montage are both shot stylistically, as if to emphasize the coolness... But by the end, the only characters not dead or in jail are the ones willing to leave the street life behind. | |

| Belly (1998) / int_abbda0ea | comment |
Intelligible Unintelligible: As spoken by Lennox. A broken mixture of English/Jamaican patois, with the occasional Foreign Cuss Word, his dialogue forces the viewer to listen for keywords and rely on context and guesswork to follow what he says. Garbled and incoherent enough that at times, even Tommy has to ask Ox to repeat himself. This trope is taken even further during a scene in Jamaica, where all of the characters' dialogue is subtitled. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
| Belly (1998) / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: Shameek and Lennox both show shades of this while intoxicated. Shameek is tipsy off alcohol and drugged shortly by Rico, but manages to kill Rico and a few of his guys while visually impaired in a crowded strip club without wounding a bystander as well as shooting at a police car while barely looking at it. Later Lennox is shown smoking cannabis and consuming alcohol to the point where he is clearly inebriated, yet he manages to kill atleast a dozen of armed hitmen who invaded his home and seems the only shots he missed was the ones he purposely fired in the air as a way to taunt his enemies and his "victory" against them. | |

Big Applesauce: Besides a few scenes in Omaha, Atlanta and Jamaica, the movie takes place in New York City. Considering the subject matter, it overlaps more into The Big Rotten Apple. | |

Dull Surprise | |
| Belly (1998) / int_c1b2c63f | comment |
Dull Surprise: Somehow, filling a movie with rappers and singers instead of actors led to a lot of bad performances. Of particular note is Nas, who wears the same blank expression and speaks in the same flat tone in every single scene. Even after being shot. | |

Bulletproof Vest: Shameek appears to be wearing one after getting shot close range by a bartender/cashier and escaping the scene after his confrontation with Rico. Shorty mentions that he wears one for protection as he sells drugs. | |

Toxic Friend Influence | |
| Belly (1998) / int_cdad4b25 | comment |
Toxic Friend Influence: Knowledge. Good at getting money, better at sowing mayhem. He's the reason Tommy spazzes out on Black, he calls Keisha from jail knowing that the phone is trapped (he even says it OUT LOUD TO KEISHA!), sends Shameek after Tionne and Keisha to shake out Buns or Sin (which gets Father Sha killed by an angry Keisha). | |
