"A sure-fire winner!" -Daily Variety
A hilarious Soul Cinema send-up, this ultra-slick, urban action comedy blows 70's blaxploitation movies right out of the 'hood! Featuring the very funny Wayans family (Keenen, Damon and Kim), Bernie Casey, Antonio Fargas, Isaac Hayes, Jim Brown, Ja'net DuBois, David Alan Grier, Kadeem Hardison and Chris Rock, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a perfect "mixture of nostalgia, silliness and genuinely unpredictable humor" (The New York Times).
Jack Spade, a goody-goody war hero with medals for short-hand, returns to the ghetto to discover that his brother, Junebug, has OG'd (Over-Golded) on jewelry. Jack swears revenge against the local gang boss, Mr. Big, and sets off to enlist an army of Shaft, Superfly and Black Caesar -- look-a-likes, that is. They don't come easy, cheap -- or young -- but they do have nice clothes and enough firepower left in them to practically destroy Mr. Big's Big Brim Bar where the bad guys wear -- you guessed it -- big hats!

I'm gonna keep this disc! - 3.5 out of 5 (1/5/2001)
For years, MGM has followed the practice of putting their stock titles into lines that contain brand name recognition. It's been a good practice for them because it signifies what titles belong in the same category. My example of this would be that if you like "Truck Turner", then you might want to try "Foxy Brown" which is a film in the same vein.
Now all of this actually does have a point because I am discussing "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" which is a film that has not only the distinction of

Urban Plight of the African-American Community - 3 out of 5 (3/25/2003)
This movie offers a glimpse of the modern societal
problems afflicting the African-American community. Characters in this movie face the tribulations of the ghetto, and at the same time show an indomitable spirit that yearns to be free.
African-Americans are portrayed in this film with accuracy and suffering that is shockingly real. When the horrors of living in "the hood" reach a fever pitch, a few desperate brothers take it upon themselves to fight crime with any and all means necessary (a w

Not as great as it once was, BUT... - 2 out of 5 (1/21/2001)
This used to be a favorite of mine and one of the few comedies I said I'd buy. When I saw the cheap price I jumped all over it regardless of the bare bones quality, simply because I didn't want anything more than the film itself in the first place so there wasn't any disappointment. Sure commentaries would have been great, as would cast/crew bios (a "where are they now" kind of thing), but all in all it's a somewhat decent disc.
