Ghettobusters

Where do you begin with this film. It had so much that was hilarious that I don't know where to begin. One of my all time favorite scenes is when they mock the stunt doubles and you have Jack Spade's mother who is about to beat up some thugs. She turns around and then suddenly the camera cuts from a black lady to a white male with a mustache and afro wig wearing the same clothes she is wearing, he does some back flips and then beats up the thugs. Then when the stuntman turns around, it's back to the actress playing Spade's Mother. I loved it.

If you don't see this movie it is a shame. Wayans did a wonderful job mocking the ridiculous exploitation movies of the seventies. The cost of the rental alone is worth watching the scene where the guy gets out of prison, and he has been incarcerated for so long that his clothes are out of style. You'll love the Pimp of the Year contest, Kung Fu Joe, the Big Brim Bar, Soul Train, Hammer, Slammer, Slade and Flyguy. The movie was a blast and you'll roll on the floor in hysteria watching as Ann Marie Johnson reveals her flaws to Jack Spade.

Rent this movie. You'll love it.

I really feel sorry for those who don't "get" this movie. I believe that it is the best of the parody genre, I've ever seen. I stoically believe in my critique because I've seen every movie that "Sucka" 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 "superfine" 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 "Abby",our version of The Exorcist, or Kung Fu Joe spoofing "Three The Hard Way". Wayans spoofery of those films along with the then-timely use of 'truck jewelry' as 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't even have asthma!)I'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'ass off, you jive-turkey,you! P.S.A recent viewing of this film gave me the idea to have what we call '70's parties. We now dress up twice a year with all the Afro wigs, white lipstick, and crocheted mini's we can find. We have a blast and quote some of the worst dialogue ever written. Who says movies aren't inspirational?

I can remember when I was young and I watch this movie. It was a very funny film, but after a couple years later is when really watched this movie and really understood it. Thats when I really enjoyed it. the Wayans brothers scary movies of today didn't have anything on there older brother movie back then. Issac Hays & Jim Brown were really funny as Hammer & Slammer. flyguy, kung fu joe and the rest of the caracters in the film will keep you laughing. I rate this movie a 10/10 and it will always be on of my favorite black plortation films.

Oddly enough then I haven't actually seen the 1988 action crime comedy "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" before now in 2021. And I have to say that the movie definitely have heavy influence of blaxploitation to it. But of course, with it being a parody on that genre, duh...

First of all, I must say that I was actually surprised with how entertaining and enjoyable "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" turned out to be. Initially I had not sported much of any hopes for the movie, given its title. But I hadn't even checked who was in it. Perhaps if I had, then my expectations would have been amped.

I will say that the cast ensemble that they got together for "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" was just extraordinary. The movie is absolutely crammed with familiar faces in bigger and smaller roles. I was rather surprised with the sheer number of famous people that participated in this movie. And if for nothing else, then the cast ensemble alone does actually make the movie worth watching.

The storyline told in "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka", as written by writer, director and star Keenen Ivory Wayans, was really entertaining. The storyline managed to combine elements of action and comedy rather well, while at the same time still being able to present a movie that felt like it was equal parts parody and seriousness.

While the movie was made back in 1988, this is a movie that is very watchable and enjoyable even now in 2021. The movie has aged well, and it definitely feels like it had potential to be a timeless movie, one that you can watch well into the future as well.

My rating of "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars. If you haven't already seen "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka", then I can warmly suggest that you sit down to watch it, should you find yourself with the opportunity to do so.

Spoof can either be very funny or very unfunny. I think its much harder to make a funny spoof movie than most people think. None of the wayans brothers films are perfect, all of them have their fair share of unfunny jokes, but they also all have moments of absolute hilarity. I think this is by far the funniest one. Classic moments include Willie pointlessly pretending jack shot him, the funeral scene, and most of all, Chris Rock's cameo as the cheapest customer in the world (F*ck the cup, jus pour it into my hands for a dime!) Dont watch it if your after intellectual brilliance, watch it if your after a good laugh.
