This list of Im Gonna Git You Sucka actors includes any Im Gonna Git You Sucka actresses and all other actors from the film.

It is razor-sharp, uncompromising and long overdue. Jack Spade comes home to the ghetto and finds his brother dead from a gold chain overdose. Im Gonna Git You Sucka cast list, listed alphabetically with photos when available. Jim Brown (alias Slaughter and Black Gunn) turns up here as the tender-footed Slammer, Isaac Hayes (alias Truck Turner) is Hammer, and Antonio Fargas, the creepy snitch Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch, is brilliant as the one-time Pimp Of The Year, Flyguy, hopelessly out of date in his bell-bottomed hipsters and platform shoes.ĭespite patchy acting and Wayans’ far from polished directorial skills (it’s his first outing as director), Sucka’s script is enough to make the film a delight. One doubts whether this relentless satire could have held together without those actors who perpetrated the superhero myths helping to unfrock those myths in the way they do. Im Gonna Git You Sucka - Jacks Booboo: Jack (Keenen Ivory Wayans) cries out as he mends a small cut on his finger, then returns to battle. And that is exactly why Sucka is so memorable. He excoriates the hypocritical ex-radicals, still drawing a cheque from the Man, some of the more suspect manifestations of modern street culture, and even those old, bold superheroes themselves. Wayans’ hard-hitting parody (he has written for Eddie Murphy) doesn’t let up. Wayans wrote, directed and starred in I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, a parody of 1970s blaxploitation films.The concept of a blaxploitation parody and the film’s title came from Wayans’ conversation with Murphy in the mid-1980s. He discovers that an entire generation of ghetto youths are similarly afflicted by, and addicted to wearing, the gaudy, electroplated gold chains that the evil white gangster— “Mr Big” — is responsible for pushing. The dead man’s brother, Jack Spade (Wayans), a big-chested incompetent who’s been having a less than heroic career in the Marines, returns to the mean streets to avenge his brother’s gold-platerd death. “He’s OG’d,” says the cop who uncovers the body wrapped from head to toe in the gold chains that are ubiquitous on the streets of ∺ny Ghetto, USA”. Petty hustler Junebug Spade (sic) dies of an overdose, not of drugs, but of gold chains. The central premise has been updated to take account of the hip-hop generation of city kids, in their regulation uniform of tracksuits and gold jewellery.

Written, starring and directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, who co-wrote 1987’s Hollywood Shuffle with Robert Townsend, this hilarious spoof of the Sexploitation films of the early 70s — in which a variety of dubious black superheroes like Shaft and Black Gunn got to kick whitey’s ass — is reminiscent of Shuffle in several ways, not least its terrier-like refusal to allow anyone, no matter how righteous they’re meant to be, escape its wicked parody. Made in 45 days on a budget of $3 million, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka recouped its outlay many times over.
