Over the years, it has become almost a rite of passage for a successful band to dip their toes into the world of Hollywood. The Beatles had classics like Help! and Yellow Submarine. The Spice Girls irrevocably changed the geography and political structure of the Earth when they terraformed the planet into a newer, better Spice World. And in 2010, a posse of chemically imbalanced clowns proved once and for all that just because you can’t figure out magnets doesn’t mean you can’t run a camera.
Big Money Rustlas is the long-awaited prequel to 2001’s Big Money Hustlas, the first Insane Clown Posse movie, and tells the timeless tale of the previously mentioned Insane Clowns and their adventures in the American Old West. Visually, it appears to have been shot on a budget of whatever loose change was wedged into the cushions of their Insane Clown couches. The script seems to have been less “written” and more “found somewhere.”
Big Money Rustlas was pretty obviously a movie made for the fans. It’s goofy and weird. There’s an objectively brilliant fight scene in which one of the combatants is replaced with a rag doll and smashed against stuff for what feels like an hour, but if you don’t care about ICP, the whole thing is borderline unwatchable.
