This movie is hilarious! He takes on such classics (and non-classics) as Shaft, Superfly, The Mack and Abby in this goofy action-comedy in which a group of former black heroes jump back into action to take down a crime boss. It’s abundantly clear that writer-director Keenen Ivory Wayans (In Living Color) understands the blaxploitation genre and its various conventions as I’m Gonna Git You Sucka hits its mark dead center. Yes, I’m looking at you, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer! The key to a successful spoof, as I’m sure you know, is understanding your subject inside and out. Many have tried and failed miserably over the years, never attaining the giddy heights achieved by Team ZAZ. Time and time again, I’ve discussed how difficult it is to make a spoof that’s truly effective. What Airplane does for disaster movies and The Naked Gun does for cop shows, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka does for 70s blaxploitation flicks.
