Best movie of this year hands down!

People are voting emotionally.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

...firstly, just want to mention the who's who of stars in this movie that stems from the comedy series 'In Living Color' of the 90s ...Damon Wayans, Keenan Wayans, Jim Brown, Isaac Hayes, Chris Rock, and many more, including BDP(Boogie Down Productions) ...so many awesome characters in this 'cult comedy' movie ...shouldn't surprise that the likes of 'Kung Fu Joe' and 'Flyguy' have developed a cult following...and now for the story content, 'I'm Gonna Git Ya Sucker' is is like a parody movie that makes fun of the clichés used in all those hero movies that we are painfully accustomed to ...the term 'gold' in the movie is used as a metaphor for drugs; just a really witty concept being used to define this comedy and the laughs are continuous ...Keenan Wayans is apparently the main character being the hero, but 'the bad guy' which is played by Damon Wayans, shares the limelight just as prominently ...this movie is one of my absolute favorite movies, if not my favorite ...am just so shocked/surprised that this movie isn't so well-known as it should be when considering all the stars that play a part in it but the story content and the humor are enough to make this movie stand out on it's own as one of the best comedy movies ever made in my opinion!

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Sometimes funny spoof of the blaxploitation genre has a young man dying of a gold chain overdose so his brother (Keenen Ivory Wayans) seeks vengeance against Mr. Big (John Vernon). This is a movie that I've been wanting to see for the past twenty years. I remember riding the school bus for weeks and all the older kids kept on talking about how great this movie was. Looking back, none of them would have been familiar with the films this one is spoofing so I thought I'd enjoy it more than I actually did since I've seen several blaxploitation films. I think it's very hard to spoof a spoof and that's how I see this movie. Blaxploitation films plays just as funny as many spoofs because they're so politically incorrect and stupid, which adds a lot of great laughs. Those laughs are a lot funnier than what we actually get here. There's a lot of funny scenes here but none of them are as funny as they should be. After the first sixty-minutes the film really started to drag and run out of fresh ideas. Isaac Hayes and Jim Brown steal the film.

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?

"I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka" is Keenen Ivory Wayans's salute to that film era of the 70's known as Blaxploitation, in which many films had leads that were African-American. Some of these films today are laughable at best, which makes Wayans's film all the more funny.Wayans plays Jack Spade, a "soldier boy" who returns home after his brother dies due to OG ("Over Gold," his body covered from head to foot in gold chains, rings, etc.). His mother (Ja'net DuBois)and Cheryl, his brother's widow (Dawnn Lewis)are being threatened by Mr. Big, the crime boss (Richard Vernon). Realizing that he can't fight his battle alone (Even though his mother is tough enough to help him), Jack recruits John Slade (Bernie Casey),Hammer (Issac Hayes),Slammer (Jim Brown) and Kung Fu Joe (Steve James) to bring down Mr. Big once and for all.This film is in the vein of "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun" films. There are a lot of visual jokes (At the police station, there is a "10 Most Ugly" poster), and a lot of inside jokes (When asked about who the identity of the incredibly bad singer, they're told that she's "The Director's sister.").Favorite scenes: 1) The Rib Joint Customer: A customer is so cheap that he wants to by a single rib and have a sip of soda ("Pour it in my hand for a dime," he says). It's a delight to watch a young Chris Rock in one of his earlier roles.2) Spade and Cherry: Cherry looks like a sure thing, and very sexy to boot. However, Cherry is far from perfect.3) Flyguy: When Flyguy (Antonio Fargas)gets out of jail, he is wearing the clothes he came in with. Too bad they are bright yellow/zebra striped with platform shoes that contain fish.A good film to watch.
