The movie is an homage to blaxploitation films of The '70s and incorporates numerous elements from the genre. The film stars Snoop Dogg as Jimmy Bones and Pam Grier as Pearl. Other cast members include Katharine Isabelle, Michael T. Weiss, Clifton Powell and Ricky Harris among many others.The movie is about Jimmy Bones (Snoop "Doggy" Dogg), who is a legendary protector and patron of his thriving neighborhood. Cool, handsome and respected - Bones is the benevolent caretaker of his people until he is betrayed by those closest to him. Flash forward 20 years, crime and drugs have crumbled the neighborhood and Jimmy Bones has become a charismatic emblem of better times. But his spirit is about to make a comeback.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anguished Declaration of Love: Pearl does this twice; first when Jimmy’s murdered, then as her last words to him before her Heroic Suicide.

Ambition Is Evil: Jeremiah's first flashback establishes him as being resentful of how Jimmy refuses to accept criminal deals which could help him advance in the world. When Jimmy says he's fine with the status quo, Jeremiah replies that "you got all the status, and I got nothing but quo." He pressures Jimmy to partner with Eddie and Lupovich to get rich selling drugs, and while he's horrified during Jimmy's actual murder, he's unrepentant about helping to turn his old neighborhood into a slum.

Anti-Villain: Jimmy Bones genuinely cared for the neighborhood and turned down the drug empire because of how damaging it will be. When he comes back to life, he only goes after the people who betrayed him and anyone who tries to stop him. His former bodyguard was spared the fate of hell for old times sake, he genuinely loved Pearl, and he chose to die with her when she sacrificed herself. His ultimate goal for the neighborhood was to restore it to its former glory.

Animal Motifs: Jimmy Bones is associated with dogs; as shown by the symbiotic relationship with the dog/hellhound, Bones.
