I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a 1988 comedy feature film written, directed by and starring Keenen Ivory Wayans. It is a parody of blaxploitation movies.
Featured in the film are several African American actors who were part of the blaxploitation phenomenon; including Jim Brown, Antonio Fargas (Starsky and Hutch's Huggy Bear), and Isaac Hayes. Other actors featured in the film were Kadeem Hardison, John Witherspoon, Damon Wayans, Clarence Williams III, Chris Rock and Ja'net Du Bois (from Good Times).
The main villain, Mr. Big, was played by John Vernon, famous for his role as Dean Wormer in Animal House. Vernon comments on his appearance in the film, stating that while he would seem to be "above playing an exploitation villain", many others (including Angie Dickinson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Shelley Winters) have appeared in similar roles. Eve Plumb (Jan from The Brady Bunch) also has a memorable cameo appearance as the white wife of a former Muslim radical now in hiding.
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. Written by Dragan Antulov
