I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) 88 Minutes, Rated R
I never would have watched this and it was funny! That's why this blog still suits me - although not that many people read what I have to say about these many many movies I watch - I still enjoy watching them and sharing them with you.
I was a huge In Living Color fan and wanted to be a fly girl - this movie came out before In Living Color. Oh and it's a hoot - and a love letter to Blaxploitation movies. Keenan Ivory Wayans loved them so much he put a lot of the actors from the Blaxploitation era in this movie. And Keenan's mom is played by the incomparable Ja'Net DuBois (Good Times). She's fantastic.
The story goes that people in Keenan's community are overdosing on gold, O.G.ing. And when one body turns up - covered head to toe in gold chains - the question that everyone asks is, "How'd he go to the bathroom?"
And don't blink or you'll miss Eve Plumb (Jan Brady) as the braided wife of the Black Power leader. Now that's a lovely lady!
