a5c7b9f00b Jack Spade returns home from the army in his old ghetto neighborhood when his brother, Junebug dies from O.G. - over gold. Jack declares war on Mr. Big, powerful local crime lord. His army is led by John Slade, his childhood idol who used to fight bad guys in the '70s.
In this parody of blaxploitation movies, a black hero wannabe reunites former black heroes from the 70s to help him get revenge on Mr. Big.
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is an undeniable Cult Classic for black people or people who love blaxploitatation movies of the 1970's. If you laughed zero times at this movie, this means you don't get it and probably shouldn't be watching Im Gonna Get You Sucka. For a person that knows blaxploitation films it's easily spoofable. Blaxploitation films are hilarious by nature. Low budget, bad acting, and a bunch of people who think they know martial arts. If you're not a person that has watched your grandpa, grandma, mother, and father watch hours upon hours of blaxploitation films of course it would appear hard to spoof. Blaxploitation is far more than just Pam Grier and Richard Roundtree. Bernie Casey, Jim Brown, and Isacc Hayes have been in more blaxploitation films than you could shake a stick at. they lend their knowledge to the cast of characters and puts the true flavor of blaxploitation films on the screen for you to see.<br/><br/>This movie does an excellent job of capturing the essence of what made blaxploitation films funny and uses it to I'm Gonna Git You Sucka's advantage. Comedic timing and popular characters inhabit this movie from beginning to end. If this movie isn't funny then you don't know funny. You especially don't know black urban humor funny. Some try to liken this movie to Airplane. It isn't Airplane it's a totally different type of humor. It's Im Gonna Git You Sucka.....Sucka!!
A good comedy, in my opinion, is one which has several side splitting moments and is talked about for months if not years. I'm Gonna Git You Sucka had plenty of ROFL moments and I still quote certain scenes to this day with others who have also seen it.<br/><br/>I'm Gonna Git You Sucka still reigns as one of my favorite comedies of all time. I saw this as a pre-teen, and again as a teenager, and again as an adult and I never ceased bawling. I will be the first to say that maybe the comedy only has a relevance to a certain demographic so it wouldn't surprise me if many people didn't find it the least bit funny, but I'm not one of those people.<br/><br/>Before In Living Color, Keenan Ivory Wayans came up with this gem. He played a retired "military" man who wanted to seek revenge for the death of his brother. How did his brother die? He OG'ed, which would stand for over-golded; an obvious substitute for overdosing on drugs. His pursuit of justice lead to one gut-busting event after another.<br/><br/>Keenan was complemented by an all-star cast. There were appearances by Damon Wayans, Kadeem Hardison, Jim Brown, Isaac Hayes, Antonio Fargas and even a young Chris Rock. I couldn't contain myself this movie was so funny. I could rave on and on about IGGYS but alas I only have 1,000 words.
Wayans' choosing to play romantic lead seems more narcissistic than smartly comic (watch him unleash those built biceps once too often); he lacks an unidentifiable shtick. And he seems too easily satisfied with predictable and sophomoric punchlines. Lapses like that give Sucka the Shaft.
