source: I'm Gonna Git You Sucka

Keenan Ivory Wayan's parody of blaxploitation, the film has the feel of an overly long In Living Color skit rather than a true feature film. The gags were amusing at time, but fairly predictable as well. I spent a decent amount of time laughing, but didn't really feel I'm Gonna Git You Sucka was in the big leagues, especially in light of the big name cast. More was expected. What I got was tasty but not filling. It was basically a black version of Airplane or the Naked Gun, and has the same strengths and weaknesses of those other films.

There are no words to describe just how amazing this film is. It salutes respectfully the blaxploitation era and the actors, with a clever hint of satire ( whereby the baddie is a White rich man, keeping black people down..) but most importantly it has the best jokes I have ever seen - just remembering Issac Hayes putting all those guns in his pockets then tripping and being shot to death by ALL his own guns, brings a tear to my eye. Fantastic. Please go see this film, I just happened to perchance the film, with my Mum and brother late one night on TV, and I really wanna buy it, but I don't know where it would still sell.If anyone does know please post it in the comments. Cheers

This movie has some undeniably funny moments, but overall it's not in the league of "Naked Gun". The jokes don't come fast enough. And although you're not supposed to take this sort of thing seriously, you may get the feeling that the movie trivializes some serious problems (like drug addiction and youth gangs) by making fun of them. Still, any movie that features both Jim Brown AND Isaac Hayes (with a few notes of his classic "Shaft" theme to boot) is at least worth a look. (**)

'I'm Gonna Git You Sucka' is an affectionate if not particularly literate send-up of the blaxploitation genre that misses more often than it hits but like any underdog, you can't help rooting for it. The first full length film directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, 'Sucka' is the classic set-piece of a returning war veteran avenging the death of his brother by taking on the mob and with his group of hardened 70's crime fighters, reclaim the streets from Mr. Big. The film itself is competent enough though a little thin on visual jokes and slapstick preferring longer skits which more often than not fizzle out simply because they run on for too long. For a first-time helmer this is understandable as you go with what you know, and as Wayans was more comfortable with stand-up and TV 'Sucka' wasn't able to develop into a coherently funny movie the way 'Scary Movie' would be some 12 years later. What makes it stand up is the sheer lunacy of some of the set-pieces, and the cast which would make any blaxploitation picture salute with pride. Alongside Wayans you have blaxploitation legends Bernie Casey spoofing Shaft, Isaac Hayes and Jim Brown reprising their roles as 'Truck Turner' and 'Slaughter' and some deliciously funny cameos from Clarence Williams III, John Vernon Antonio Fargas and a young Chris Rock. The picture though belongs to the late and sorely-missed Steve James in a delirious send-up of his own career as martial-arts sidekick. Despite being a better actor than most of his co-stars James would forever languish on the B-list and would die just five years after this movie was made. He steals every scene he's in though, and if you need to bow out to 'Kung Fu Fighting' it's as good as any a way to go. The film has a few good running jokes such as the mother's stunt double and the Shaft score running in the background and at a trim 88 minutes doesn't stay too long to put you off it. In the end it succeeds despite being nothing more than a loose collection of sketches held together by some very funny and very talented actors. It's worth watching just for the exchange between Hayes and Rock where the latter tries to buy some food (note: watch the end credits of Rocks' CB4 and you'll see this repeated at a newsstand) and the Pimp of the Year sequence, complete with Fargas wandering into the ghetto in full 70's pimp outfit mistakenly believing he's the smoothest thing out there. It's easy enough to like this film: rent it, enjoy it and hope someone comes up with a sequel soon.

I guess this movie works on the same level as a lot of 1980's funnies... Loaded Weapon, Hotshots et al. It has a zany side but unlike many other romps of this ilk, it is tempered by a slightly dark edge and raw subject matter of gang violence. The jive talking and fly-culture at the heart of the movie makes it slick and cool as well as gritty and sharp. But this is far more than just a send up of Shaft. The gags are timed to perfection in this movie and is a cannon of great quotes and catch phrases. "One rib?" "One rib!" I really rate this movie, a proper blast.

I loved the In-Living Colour skits so I was confident this movie would deliver comparable hilarities. Sadly, it did not. The comedy/plot/acting seems forced & superimposed and indecisive as to what sort of a movie this is. Ultimately, it comes down to whether it was funny, everything else aside. Unfortunately, there is not much that I found funny (Black Knight was more amusing than this movie, I'm seriouse - actually Black Knight's rating on imdb is excessively low, I think, but I digress). At any event, quite a dissapointment. The basic blaxpolitation premise and theme would have had great potential here, but something went wrong, very wrong.

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.

Every cliche of the 70s is busted wide-open here. I think it is such a great parody of blaxploitation movies - the pimp, the ballplayer-turned actor, The Man, etc. Everyone is perfect in their role. There are too many funny lines to pick a favorite. I love this film so much. I have seen this movie many, many times and it is funny every time I see it.
