Keenen Ivory Wayans's directorial debut is an outrageous satire of "Blaxploitation" films and features some of the genre's heroes in self-parodying roles. 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]

4/5

Unrelenting, unremitting, a brilliant broad-brush of a parody.

The greatest pleasure comes from seeing '70s veterans send themselves up.

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.

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.

Probably an hour's worth of funny in a 90-minute movie.
