Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis 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.
- GoofsIn 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.

No "BONES" About It
Well, at least the folks at New Line Cinema were smart enough to market this Snoop Doggy dog of a film in season. It's dog season. "It's eat Dog", the title character asserts. And it sure is because BONES cannot be anymore unmemorable than the other Halloween releases of '01 i.e. THIR13EEN GHOSTS. Snoop Dogg stars as Jimmy Bones, a gaudy 'hood pusher who is resurrected ala HELLRAISER to stalk his killers. BONES also stars Pam Grier as his old flame. She does go up in one by credits end by the way. It's fitting how Pam Grier can have such a role which requires such a glorious death. Altruism sucks,don't it? Well,never mind. Half of the movie seems to be filled with flashbacks of Jimmy Bones' mortal and immortal incarnations which the producers think justifies it's frenetic music video-style look. Check out the credits sequence. Make no bones about it(pun obviously intended)BONES is a ripoff of Alex Proyas' THE CROW not to mention it is also just another post-SCREAM horror romp, crackerjack ending and all. At least in a box of Crackerjacks you know your only getting one rip-off.
