Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Best movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is an excellent,hilarious,underrated Comedy classic and in my opinion one of the greatest and funniest Comedies of all time that's filled with wonderful direction,a terrific and funny cast,great over the top laughs,a laugh out loud script,great Action and a fantastic score and soundtrack. All of those combinations make I'm Gonna Git You Sucka a Cult Classic and Keenen Ivory Wayans at his best.I'm Gonna Git You Sucka tells the story of Jack Spade(Keenen Ivory Wayans,(who also wrote and directed)a soldier who has just returned home from the Army and finds out that his brother Junbug has been killed and crime in his hometown is being ran by local crime lord Mr. Big(John Vernon). Tired of the crime and violence,Jack asks for the help of John Slade,(Bernie Casey),a crime fighter from the 1970s to help take down Mr. Big and laughs and chaos ensue.I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is one of the all time great Comedy classics that is funny and hilarious from beginning to end and is one of the best Spoofs and Parodies that ranks alongside Airplane and The Naked Gun Trilogy and is a Comedy that is underrated. I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a movie that perfectly makes fun of the Blaxploitation movies of the 1970s films such as Shaft,Superfly,Coffy,Foxy Brown and Dolemite just to name a few. Like some of the best Spoofs and Parodies IGGYS takes all of the trademarks and style of those films and turns them on their head with rapid fire humor showing the silliness and craziness of Blaxploitation movies and Writer-Director Keenen Ivory Wayans pulls out all the stops making fun of the genre while paying homage to the genre taking hilarious shots at Action heroes,criminals and Blaxploitation stereotypes of the 1970s. The Comedy and laughs in IGGYS is laugh out loud hilarious and you will have tears rolling down your eyes because with every scene because there are gags and moments that are over the top and unpredictable to the point you never know what will happen next. The Comedy is also imaginative and creative and done with an energy and style that is nonstop and raunchy and the movie never loses it's demented edge until the very end.(Instead of dealing with drug use like the Blaxploitation films IGGYS deals with Gold chains,"OG" or "Over Gold":an overdose of too many Gold chains making fun of the way Hip-Hip artists and criminals who were wearing lots of Gold chains in the 1980s)The Comedy in IGGYS can not only be seen as an introduction to the Wayans family but also a precursor to Keenen Ivory Wayans terrific sketch Comedy series In Living Color and the Wayans family's other funny and amazing Spoofs Don't Be A Menace and Scary Movie. Jack Spade and the other main characters are so outrageous and over the top it makes the characters and situations in the film wilder and funnier it's almost like looking at a cartoon that is more insane than the Blaxploitation movies the film's making fun of. With each main character no ones head is on straight and when things happen to the characters you as a viewer are along for the ride. The screenplay by Keenen Ivory Wayans is fantastic and memorable with lines and scenes that are wild and unforgettable. Although a Spoof of Blaxploitation films,IGGYS has fun appearances from 1970s Film and Television icons such as Bernie Casey,Issac Hayes,Jim Brown,Antonio Fargus,Clarence Williams III,Eve Plumb(Jan of The Brady Bunch)and Janet DuBois who are all have fun with their characters sometimes playing it straight but not taking the performances too seriously. I would have loved to seen Fred Williamson,Pam Grier,Ron O'Neal and Rudy Ray Moore in the movie as well. Although IGGYS is a Comedy,there is also a few well done Action scenes which are exciting and explosive but at the same time add to the Surreal and outlandish tone of the movie. The ending of I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is amazing,funny,Action packed and is a wonderful conclusion to this classic film.The cast is wonderful. Keenen Ivory Wayans is excellent and hilarious as Jack Spade,with Wayans bringing laughs and energy to the role. Bernie Casey is brilliant and funny as John Slade and has great scenes with Wayans. Antonio Fargas is terrific and cool as Flyguy,a pimp. Steve James is wonderful as Kung-Fu Joe,a Kung-Fu master that helps Jack and John. Issac Hayes and Jim Brown are great and funny as Hammer and Slammer,a crime fighting duo. Ja'net DuBois is outstanding as Belle,Jack's loving but overprotective Mother. Dawnn Lewis is terrific and beautiful as Cheryl,Jack's love interest. John Vernon is delightful as Mr. Big,a local crime lord. Damon Wayans and Kadeem Hardison are a fantastic laugh riot as Leonard and Willie,Mr Big's henchmen. Also,lookout for fun cameos from Clarence Williams III(Kalinga),Eve Plumb(Kalinga's wife),Chris Rock(Rib Joint Customer),Kim Wayans(Nightclub singer),Shawn and Marlon Wayans(Pedestrians),David Alan Grier(Newsman),Clu Gulager(LT.Baker),Anne-Marie Johnson(Cherry),Robin Harris(Bartender At Sam's,John Whitherspoon(Reverand)Hawthorne James(One Eyed Sam),Gary Owens(Pimp Of The Year Pageant Announcer)and Tony Cox(Wayne Evans).The direction by Keenen Ivory Wayans is wonderful,with Wayans moving the camera and bringing a wild energy to the film. Great direction,Wayans.The score by David Michael Frank is fantastic,intense,memorable and matches the film nicely. Fine score,Frank. There is also a great soundtrack with songs by The Gap Band(I'm Gonna Git You Sucka,You're So Cute),KRS-ONE(Jack Of Spades),Curtis Mayfield & Fishbone(He's A Flyguy),The Four Tops And Aretha Franklin(If Ever A Love There Was),Issac Hayes(Theme From Shaft),Jackson 5(Dancing Machine),Edwin Starr(War),Carl Douglas(Kung-Fu Fighting),Too Nice(Two Can Play The Game),Jennifer Holliday(Magic Man),Friends Of Distinction(Grazin' In The Grass)and more. Wonderful soundtrack.In final word,if you love Comedies,Spoof or Parodies,I highly suggest you see I'm Gonna Git You Sucka,an excellent,hilarious and underrated Comedy classic that you can watch again and again. Highly Recommended. 10/10.

This is a Wayans brother effort – they have so many brothers and so many efforts – this one is the brainchild of Keenan Ivory Wayans, an older sibling and is in much the same vein as White Chicks and the Scary Movie films.I would argue that this is better than those films but it seems a moot point, you either like those sorts of films or you don't.In the main I don't… But if any of the following sounds at all interesting or amusing then hunt this down, but be warned the following points represent the best parts of I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.A guy named Flyguy dies. The cause of death is OG – OverGold – the boy simply wore too many gold chains and collapsed under the weight of them. (this was made in the 90s folks.) - The Rich White Guy who represents the Bad Guy is named Mr Big.The cast features many actors renowned for their roles in Blaxploitation films of the 70s and 80s, they include Jim Brown and Isaac Hayes.The lead guy, an ex-army vet (admin not combat) named Jack tries to beat up a midget.The love interest has a face like a horse and a body like a 4WD. I don't think this was supposed to be funny though… - A pimp is released from a long stint in jail and dons his pimptastic gear once again before hitting the streets to open ridicule. His outfit is replete with actual goldfish swimming in the heels of his platform shoes.If you fnd this amusing (and fair enough it is) there's a chance you'll like the film.That's about it. Chris Rock gets an early cameo as a hungry teen who wants to buy 1 rib (not a serve) and a sip of Coke (not a can). There are a few chuckles but no real laughs of note, which is perhaps why this is so hard to track down these days (I watched this on a battered VHS from the local video stores ever diminishing supply).Final Rating – 5 / 10. Ultimately this is once again a case of a catchy title with precious little behind it but cameos, sight-gags and a couple of vaguely clever concepts.Hardly the worst film ever but neither is this a glowing recommendation.

Hilarious parody of the 'blaxploitation' period in which Keenen Ivory Wayans plays a returned serviceman, desperate to find out the cause of his brother's untimely death. The official cause of death has been determined as O.G. - over gold, of chains, bling in general - but Keenen's convinced that the local mob, led by the aptly titled Mr Big (Vernon) is responsible. He enlists the aid of a number of former 'black heroes' to challenge Mr Big and his cronies.With a cast lifted from the very films it satirises (Casey, Hayes, Brown, Fargas), Keenen has managed to incorporate sage humour with colourful slapstick comedy. The highlights are too frequent to list, but the scene in which a young Chris Rock tries to buy an order of ribs is as good as they come. It's rare that most (if not perhaps all) of the jokes succeed in a parody, by Keenen has achieved a resounding success in that regard. Cleverly, there's no esoteric references to the blaxploitation films that might confuse the viewer; basic references are well sign-posted, so anyone can enjoy the satire.Aside from the leads, the entire supporting cast excels, although veteran character actor Clu Gulager's role appears more prominently in the film's early stages, than he's subsequently featured. Kadeem Hardison and Damon Wayans (one of many of the Wayans brothers appearing) are an hilarious couple of Mr Big's goons, while the late Steve James (recognisable from the "American Ninja" franchise) is a deft piece of characterisation, as a chop-socky homage named 'Kung-Fu Joe'. A smirk or wry smile here and there attests to the fact that the cast appear to be having a lot of enjoyment with their zany characterisations.The praise is endless and so are the laughs. Sets and props often look TV quality, but the catchy music, sharp dialogue and sensational cast more than compensate. A top shelf parody without pretense.

Spoof on the blaxplotation films of the 1970s. Starts right off in "Any Ghetto U.S.A." where a young black man has died of O.G. (overabundance of gold chains). His brother Jack (Keenan Ivory Wayans) comes home from the army to find the people who "hooked his brother on gold". With a couple of older black men (all from the 1970s films) they decide to clean up the town.Now it sounds pretty stupid--but it actually works. There are some real bad jokes but the good ones outnumber those vastly. The whole cast plays it straight with plenty of small roles or cameos from veteran 1970s actors. You don't have to know the old films to enjoy this but it does help a few times. It's really good to see Antonio Fargas back in a film making fun of his 1970s image. John Vernoon (Dean Wormer from "Animal House") is also lots of fun as Mr. Big. And Ja'net DuBois is hysterical as Jack's overprotective mother. And--since this is directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans--most of his family shows up in small roles. Sure it's silly and stupid but also very funny. Turn off your brain and enjoy! By far the best thing the Wayans have ever done.
