Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote, directed, and starred in this hilarious parody of blaxploitation films in the comedy I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Jack Spade (Wayans) returns home from a hitch in the army to find his brother Junebug has died from an overdose of gold chains, leaving his widow Cheryl (Dawnn Lewis) and mother Ma Bell (Ja'net DuBois) alone to fend for themselves. Ma throws two inept thugs (Damon Wayans and Kadeem Hardison) sent by the evil white guy Mr. Big (John Vernon) down a flight of

In many respects this is a black counterpart to The Naked Gun, and very nearly as funny; the bounty of antimacho gags is both unexpected and refreshing.
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a lively but uncertain mixture of nostalgia, silliness and genuinely unpredictable humor.
Although, like all good satires, it is cheerfully willing to be offensive, it is almost completely incapable of being funny.
It's not that Wayans lacks wit, it's that he's stomped it to death.
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.
Unrelenting, unremitting, a brilliant broad-brush of a parody.
In offering up this affectionate parody of the old movies, Wayans also turns a satiric eye on black culture in general -- but in an inoffensive, lighthearted manner.
The greatest pleasure comes from seeing '70s veterans send themselves up.
You'll need to visit a doctor after it....to put back together your split-sides!
Keenen Ivory Wayans' best film ever.
There's something ungrateful going on under the surface
Probably an hour's worth of funny in a 90-minute movie.
This is an hilarious spoof comedy movie with great actors, I really liked it, and I highly recommend it.
