 Detective
David Starsky (BEN STILLER) is the most dedicated undercover cop
working the mean streets of Bay City, California. Maniacally devoted
to his job, when he's on duty no crime goes unpunished -- and heÕs
always on duty. And that's a good thing, because he has some metaphorically
big shoes to fill: his mother was a legend on the force, one of
the best cops in the history of Bay City.

 "Huggy
Bear is the player that keeps the streets and the police connected,"
says Snoop. "He's the only type of character that can venture
into all kinds of worlds and come back and remain himself."
Snoop sees a correlation between the process behind his onscreen
work and the creation of his music. "I approach everything
the same way, with a winning attitude. I come in to win, so
I felt like they gave me this role because they knew that
nobody else could play Huggy Bear."
"Snoop's perfect as Huggy," says Stiller. "They never really
got too much into whether or not Huggy was an actual pimp
on the television show, but Snoop takes it to the next level.
I think Snoop is on a one-man mission to immortalize the 70s
pimp on celluloid, and he's doing an incredible job of it."

But while his mom stuck with the same partner throughout her entire
career, due to his extremely zealous brand of police work, Starsky
burns through partners faster than his beloved Gran Torino goes
through spark plugs. Detective Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (OWEN WILSON)
is having career issues of his own -- he's  a
good cop, but his hazardously laidback personality and desire for
a quick buck don't always get the job done. He has excellent instincts,
he just needs a little bit of focus to keep him on the admittedly
less profitable side of the law.
Exasperated Bay City Police Captain Dobey (FRED WILLIAMSON) has
found the perfect solution for two of his biggest problems: pair
up Starsky and Hutch and put them out on the streets. As soon as
the two mismatched crime fighters unhappily begin their first day
on the beat as a team, a "floater" turns up on the Bay City coastline.
With the help of Hutch's dynamite, street-savvy informant Huggy
Bear (SNOOP DOGG), the two begin to unravel the mysterious murder
case. Investigating their first clue, the boys meet Staci (CARMEN
ELECTRA) and Holly (AMY SMART), Bay City Cheerleaders who are more
than eager to help-- in any way they can.
All signs seem to point at wealthy businessman Reese Feldman (VINCE
VAUGHN), but Starsky and Hutch just can't seem to make a case against
him. Unbeknownst to them, Feldman has cooked up a plan to foil the
DEA and is plotting the biggest and most lucrative drug deal of
his career. The unlikely duo will use their canniest undercover
skills, hardcore street smarts and striking good looks to solve
the crime and make sure the criminal does the time. Because, as
David Starsky says, "In Bay City, when you cross the line, your
n*ts are mine."
