Wayans stars as Jack Spade, a man who returns home from the army to find that his brother has died of an overdose of gold chains -- all provided by the nefarious Mr. Big. So Jack embarks on a mission to gather all the most famous 1970's action heroes (all accompanied by heroic theme music) to wage war against Mr. Big. But things don't go smoothly for Jack and his makeshift commandoes, and eventually Jack finds that he must face Mr. Big alone -- and earn his own theme music. [More]

Since we are dealing with parody here, every aspect of black communities is open territory for Wayans’ brand of humour.

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.

It's not that Wayans lacks wit, it's that he's stomped it to death.

Although, like all good satires, it is cheerfully willing to be offensive, it is almost completely incapable of being funny.
