Injustice begets a criminal. Kool is an artist without prospects, a black belt in karate, and in love with LaShawna, poised and college bound. One night she witnesses a stabbing and discovers the victim is a cop as he dies in her arms. She's jailed for murder by the infamous Ramparts Division of the LAPD. Kool wants to prove her innocence, and Tully, the cynical detective in charge, ignores LaShawna's case but uses Kool to break up an incipient crime operation. She's in danger because the guilty parties fear that the officer talked before he died. While in jail awaiting a hearing and legal help, she's beaten to death by a rogue cop. Kool vows revenge: the Hot Boyz are born.

Don't listen to the negative reviews
The first must-see film of the year.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Terrible movie about a bunch of ghetto guys lead by Sillk The Shocker who become crime lords in this boring and obnoxious actioner which has tons of bad songs and not enough action. All three B. movie Icons such as C. Thomas Howell,Jeff Speakman and Gary Busey go through the motions and have only been recruited to raise the notoriety level that this clunker would not have already had.
This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Don't be wrong, I'm a great fan of Snoop Dogg and most of the other rappers that appear in the movie, but the simple fact is just that THE CAN'T ACT. on top of that is that the story and whole plotline sucks major. the acting is bad and the story is bad + it's very unrealistic. this movies makes it look like it is very easy to get in the drug game and everybody can become a gangster. don't spoil your money on this movie.
This flick has the potential of a classic with Gary Busey and Snoop Dogg, but I ended up wondering why was the film made. The script is terrible, and characters don't develop, they only have one emotion or goal, with the lead character Kool (Vyshonne Miller) becoming hell-bent on revenge for the death of his girlfriend, ITS HEART BREAKING STUFF.However it's worth watching just to see Busey's double take when a prostitute undresses in front of him (Plus it has nothing to do with the plot). Oh and I was in hysterics when MC Hammer look-alike Saint fell into the sea, what a stunner. Busey should know better than make this tat.
SPOILER ALERT I just got done watching Hot Boyz after renting from the video store and I must say that I was quite impressed. It has a great cast from most of the No Limit rappers like Silkk the Shocker, Snoop Dogg, Mystikal and C-Murder. Back to the movie. It starts out with a guy getting chased by at least 20 police cars. Then Kool (Silkk the Shocker) start narrating about the film. It turns out that Kool's girlfriend Lashawna was arrested for the murder of an L.A. police officer when she was actually the witness. Kool is mad about this and talks to a another cop (Gary Busey) about trying to get her out of jail. He tells him the only way to get her out is to find the drug dealer who ordered the hit on the cop that was killed. Kool reluctantly agrees to go and find the drug dealer. While this is going on Lashawna is beaten to death in jail by another cop who actually ordered the hit on the now dead cop. Kool is outraged about this and calls together his friends and all of them together form the Hot Boyz who go around stealing drugs and money and selling it. As I said before Hot Boyz is and ok film and so I give it a 3 and half out of 5.
