As a send-up, I'M GONNA GIT YOU, SUCKA! is right up there with the likes of THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, and THE CHEAP DETECTIVE: it goes straight to the Heart of the movies it parodies, sometimes taking them to task (in a loving way) and sometimes just flat out laughing out loud at them. You really can't ask for more than that from a film of this kind. I grew up watching the blaxploitation films I'M GONNA GIT YOU, SUCKA! pokes fun at, and the jokes are all on the money. Some of my favorites: Jim Brown and Isaac Hayes running a rib joint (where Chris Rock, one of the funniest stand-up comedians to ever strut his stuff, does a cameo), the way all of the Old School guys fumble the ball trying to help Keenan Wayans, and Damon Wayans as a blackey ("black lackey") who can't seem to catch a break (especially when he tries to kidnap the hero's girlfriend, who's suffering from... "CRAMPS!"). Good times, indeed.

Jack Spade returns from the army in his old ghetto neighbourhood when his brother, June Bug, dies. Jack declares war on Mr. Big, powerful local crimelord. His army is led by John Slade, his childhood idol who used to fight bad guys in the 70s......Its a spoof of the blaxploitation genre of the seventies, and has the added bonus of most of the stars from the genre, and the makers obviously love the material that they are lampooning.But time has tainted this movie. Seeing through the eyes of an 11 year when first released, it was a fun movie, gigantic toes, woman taking body parts off, and a white man controlling the ghetto, it was genius.Now watching it, I look at Wayans, and think that he's the on responsible for the slew of really poor spoofs that have hit our screen screen since Scary Movie back in 2000, and there have been too many.Don't get me wrong, there are a few good moments, but it doesn't hold up now like it did back then, and it feels really old, just like the jokes.But kudos to the makers for making this, and getting the most important people from the genre involved, save for around tree and Grier.Way past its sell by date.

I remember seeing this movie on TV for the first time years ago, and I laughed so hard my side hurt! The mainstream so-called comedy films cannot touch this one for originality and real slapstick.The odd part is that I AM a "politically correct" person who would never offend anyone based on their race, color, religion, etc. But I do have a sense of humor. The face that Keenan Ivory Wayans gave many terrific black actors exposure and a paycheck cannot be ignored.For me, the best laughs came from the short but absolutely priceless appearances of Kim Waynans (as the worse lounge singer on earth), and Anna Marie Johnson (the sexy seductress who literally comes apart at the seams).On the rare occasions that this gem does come on TV, I don't miss it!

Almost twenty-years from its release, I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA shows its age, and it doesn't look pretty. If anything, it's in dire need of a face-lift and I doubt there will be any new versions of this incursion into blaxploitation movies any time soon because of the sheer absurdity of its plot that tries to at times emulate the type of humor the Zucker brothers are known for. This is what happens to these films that are "of their time": they remain encapsulated in this bottle and become curiosities for anyone wanting to revisit the pages of history -- namely, that of black directors, of which at the time there were few, a thing that hasn't changed much. However, it's got more pluses than minuses, some riotous scenes -- Ja'Net Dubois and her clearly masculine double are a hoot to watch -- a running gag involving Damon Wayans "taking the stairs", Anna Maria Horsford playing a woman who has quite a bit of props under her hair... and entire outfit, and the only known death by gold chains to boot. To add to its repertoire, it's got a list of who's who of black actors and actresses of the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties (and future stars like Chris Rock in a small role), but it's missing two key players: Richard Roundtree and Pam Grier. On that note, it misses the point of what it means to spoof a particular genre -- if you can't get actors who actually were in those genres, what's the point of even making a parody?
