It proves I can beat up a girl and a midget!!
'I'm Gonna Git You Sucka' is an affectionate if not particularly
literate send-up of the blaxploitation genre that misses more often than it hits but like any underdog, you can't help rooting for it. The first full length film directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, 'Sucka' is the classic set-piece of a returning war veteran avenging the death of his brother by taking on the mob and with his group of hardened 70's crime fighters, reclaim the streets from Mr. Big. The film itself is competent enough though a little thin on visual jokes and slapstick preferring longer skits which more often than not fizzle out simply because they run on for too long. For a first-time helmer this is understandable as you go with what you know, and as Wayans was more comfortable with stand-up and TV 'Sucka' wasn't able to develop into a coherently funny movie the way 'Scary Movie' would be some 12 years later. What makes it stand up is the sheer lunacy of some of the set-pieces, and the cast which would make any blaxploitation picture salute with pride. Alongside Wayans you have blaxploitation legends Bernie Casey spoofing Shaft, Isaac Hayes and Jim Brown reprising their roles as 'Truck Turner' and 'Slaughter' and some deliciously funny cameos from Clarence Williams III, John Vernon Antonio Fargas and a young Chris Rock. The picture though belongs to the late and sorely-missed Steve James in a delirious send-up of his own career as martial-arts sidekick. Despite being a better actor than most of his co-stars James would forever languish on the B-list and would die just five years after this movie was made. He steals every scene he's in though, and if you need to bow out to 'Kung Fu Fighting' it's as good as any a way to go. The film has a few good running jokes such as the mother's stunt double and the Shaft score running in the background and at a trim 88 minutes doesn't stay too long to put you off it. In the end it succeeds despite being nothing more than a loose collection of sketches held together by some very funny and very talented actors. It's worth watching just for the exchange between Hayes and Rock where the latter tries to buy some food (note: watch the end credits of Rocks' CB4 and you'll see this repeated at a newsstand) and the Pimp of the Year sequence, complete with Fargas wandering into the ghetto in full 70's pimp outfit mistakenly believing he's the smoothest thing out there. It's easy enough to like this film: rent it, enjoy it and hope someone comes up with a sequel soon.. kaph watch Road House 2: Last Call movie
Jack Spade returns from the army in his old ghetto neighbourhood when his brother, June Bug, dies. Jack declares war on Mr. Big, powerful local crimelord. His army is led by John Slade, his childhood idol who used to fight bad guys in the 70s.

"Dirty mother...Don't say that!"
I'd heard of this Blaxploitation parody years before I actually saw it, and
I have to say that I wasn't let down. Keenen Ivory Wayans is now known mostly for directing the incredibly gross and rarely funny SCARY MOVIE films, but here he shows that he could be funny. I have to confess that I haven't seen any Blaxploitation films per se, but being familiar with things like SHAFT, I could see what they were getting at. The idea of a group of eccentric heroes is something that always appeals to me, so I liked the heroes in this flick. Keenen Ivory Wayans as Jack Spade and Bernie Casey as his hero/mentor John Slade are great as are Isaac Hayes and Jim Brown as Hammer and Slammer. Although, I have to say that the late Steve James (of the AMERICAN NINJA film series) and Antonio 'Huggy Bear' Fargas are both underused, although they are both effective in their roles. Extra humour is also provided by Damon Wayans and Kadeem Hardison as a pair of completely inept crooks. The jokes keep coming and are all excellent eg: the Best Gang competition, the Pimp Of The Year contest, the flashback to Jack and Cheryl dancing at Soul Train and our heroes' attack on the Big Brim Bar. The film even has a great toe-tapping theme tune by the Gap Band. For comedy fans everywhere in my opinion.. |
