 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bullhead is a 2011 film from Belgium directed by Michael R. Rosskam.Jacky is a cattle farmer in the Flemish region of Belgium. He is mixed up with some bad people, namely, some gangsters who are into smuggling both illegal steroids and illegal meat. Specifically, the gangsters give illegal steroids to Jacky, Jacky and his family shoot up their cows with 'roads which make them bigger, and Jacky smuggles the meat out to his gangster partners. Besides giving steroids to his cows, Jacky also uses them himself, and they have made him a scary muscle-bound hulk prone to violent rages.Meanwhile, the steroid-smuggling gangsters wind up murdering a cop. Jacky and his family weren't involved in the murder, but Jacky's brother Stieve bought the distinctive tires that originally came off the killers' getaway car. The police have an informant, Diederick, among the steroid smugglers, and they are pressuring him to get them more information. Diederick and the smugglers have a meeting with Jacky and his brother, and Diederick is startled to recognize Jacky's name. It turns out that twenty years ago they were childhood buddies. Diederick knows why Jacky takes steroids: not because he wants to be jacked, but as a result of a terrifying injury.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Bait-and-Switch: Diederick is walking along when a woman pulls up alongside him in a car, rolls down her window, and tells him to "Come to the hotel for a fuck!". Does he have an aggressively horny girlfriend? No, the lady with the foul mouth is actually a police detective, and Diederick is her informant, and the whole routine about going to a hotel for sex is a ruse to deflect suspicion.

 Drugs Are Bad: Not coke or heroin as usual, but steroids, which have left Jacky unnaturally muscle-bound and also prone to eruptions of rage.
