Movie Reviews of I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
Movie Review: This is Parody at its peak
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1988, two films reinvented the parody that Blazing Saddles and Airplane perfected. The Naked Gun was an inspired lunatic of a movie based on an insanely hysterical TV show. Then there was this filmed account that took several of the stars to those great '70's blaxploitation films and allowed them to poke fun of themselves. Sucka begins by taking us to Anytown, USA and showing right away what happens when one wears too many gold chains. This unfortunate soul was the brother of returning 'soldier boy' Jack Spade, who vows to bring down the gold chain industry run by the infamous Mr. Big. With the help of legendary hero John Slade and his former partners Hammer, Slammer, super pimp Fly Guy and the martial arts master Kung Fu Joe, Jack wages war against Big and his lackies.
This could easily be the plot of a typical '70's grindhouse movie and writer/director/star Keenan Ivory Wayans is fully aware of this. He treats this comical homage with restpect and great care. There are visual gags aplenty on top of countless quips and double entendres, but the film never thumbs its nose at those great actioners it is parodying. This is blaxpoitation in a form that can be viewed and enjoyed by anyone who does not allow a few crass jokes to interfere with a good sense of humor. There's also plenty of action and even a tender, but thankfully brief, romantic interlude between Jack and his brother's widow.
Inspired casting makes this film's success complete. Bernie Casey, Jim Brown, Isaac Hayes and John Vernon are the old hands who know this genre so well. Damon Wayans is on hand to supply some wonderful comic bits. This movie just plain succeeds. Not for children, to be sure. But for the adult who likes their humor a bit juvenile, this is most highly recommended.
