[edit] Trivia
Pam Grier is seen in the film as Jimmy Bones' love interest; although she is older than Snoop Dogg; this is explained by having him murdered twenty years before he was reanimated. They have collaborated together earlier in one of his music videos, and also played an artist-producer couple in the episodes of The L Word in 2004.
