a5c7b9f00b Jack Spade returns home from the army in his old ghetto neighborhood when his brother, Junebug dies from O.G. - over gold. Jack declares war on Mr. Big, powerful local crime lord. His army is led by John Slade, his childhood idol who used to fight bad guys in the &#39;70s. In this parody of blaxploitation movies, a black hero wannabe reunites former black heroes from the 70s to help him get revenge on Mr. Big. I guess this movie works on the same levela lot of 1980&#39;s funnies… Loaded Weapon, Hotshots et al.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>The jive talking and fly-culture at the heart of the movie makes it slick and coolwellgritty and sharp. But this is far more than just a send up of Shaft.<br/><br/>The gags are timed to perfection in this movie and is a cannon of great quotes and catch phrases.<br/><br/>&quot;One rib?&quot; &quot;One rib!&quot; <br/><br/>I really rate this movie, a proper blast. I really feel sorry for those who don&#39;t &quot;get&quot; this movie. I believe that it is the best of the parody genre, I&#39;ve ever seen. I stoically believe in my critique because I&#39;ve seen every movie that &quot;Sucka&quot; parodied. I grew up watching blaxploitation films. They were being cranked out at blinding speed at that time, and the highlight of my circle of friends, was planning our Friday nights around the premieres and plotting which &quot;superfine&quot; guy with the biggest Afro would take us out. I was in junior high school and life was good. Fast-forward 15 years to 1988 (I saw this film for the first time in the year of its release), where my memories were jumpstarted and slapped into a frenzy of flashbacks. Recalling particular scenes of movies that at the tender age of 14 I had taken seriously, and now saw how funny and ridiculous they were. For example: the demonic PMS scene was reminiscent of &quot;Abby&quot;,our version of The Exorcist, or Kung Fu Joe spoofing &quot;Three The Hard Way&quot;. Wayans spoofery of those films along with the then-timely use of &#39;truck jewelry&#39;an inciting incident in this film was much too much for me to take. I laughed till I had to take a puff from my inhaler (and I don&#39;t even have asthma!)I&#39;m sure this film will seem funny to those who never experienced the blaxploitation scene from its inception. But for those who did, you will laugh yo&#39;ass off, you jive-turkey,you! P.S.A recent viewing of this film gave me the idea to have what we call &#39;70&#39;s parties. We now dress up twice a year with all the Afro wigs, white lipstick, and crocheted mini&#39;s we can find. We have a blast and quote some of the worst dialogue ever written. Who says movies aren&#39;t inspirational? I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a lively but uncertain mixture of nostalgia, silliness and genuinely unpredictable humor.
