Review - I'm Gonna Git You Sucka

"I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" is a comedy spoof of the 1970's-era "blaxploitation" films. Jack Spade returns home from serving in the Army, only to find that his younger brother has died from an "O.G."...that is, he wore so many gold chains, it crushed him. Determined to avenge his brother and clean up the neighborhood, Jack reunites some of the heroes from the 1970's, including Kung Fu Joe, John Slade, Hammer and Slammer.
The Wayans Brothers did some excellent spoofs during their time on "In Living Color", and it is evident in this film. The laughs come early and often...due to excellent jokes, visual gags, and some of the best parodies since Abraham and Zucker did the "Airplane" movies. Check out cameos by Chris Rock in one of his earliest film roles, as well as Eve Plumb (best known as Jan from "The Brady Bunch").
For a side-splitting comedy that isn't afraid to make fun of itself, "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" does the job. Can you dig it?
