Jack Spade (Keenen Ivory Wayans) comes home to the ghetto and finds his brother dead from a gold chain overdose. With the help of his hero, John Slade (Bernie Casey), and a team of washed-up crime fighters, Spade declares vengeance on Mr. Big (John Vernon), the white crime leader responsible for selling gold chains on the streets. But Spade realizes that he must take matters into his own hands to finish the job in this zany spoof of 1970s blaxploitation films.

Critics Consensus

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka puts a satirical spin on '70s nostalgia with a comedy whose somewhat scattershot laughs are often offset by pure energetic silliness.

4/5

Unrelenting, unremitting, a brilliant broad-brush of a parody.

In many respects this is a black counterpart to The Naked Gun, and very nearly as funny; the bounty of antimacho gags is both unexpected and refreshing.

The greatest pleasure comes from seeing '70s veterans send themselves up.

The sucka in this film isn't the villain. It's the ticket buyer.

There's so much energy in this satire, that you can't help laughing at its bawdy charm. Clumsy, irreverent, adolescent, yes. And often very funny.

Keenan Ivory Wayans offers his fan base probably the only funny film he's ever directed.

There's some humorous jabs at the blaxploitation genre to be had, but otherwise I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is just one of many futile comedic attempts from Keenen Ivory Wayans.

It's all here. The players get the roles of a lifetime. For instance, Spade, Slade, Hammer, Flyguy, and others. It has sexual iunendos, as well. Good movie.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é ruim, a história do filme é fraca, os personagens também, o filme tenta ser engraçado mas não consegue, e a as cenas não ajudam a melhoram o filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.
