When his brother June Bug winds up dead under mysterious, jewelry-related circumstances, Army Sergeant Jack Spade returns to his city to find out what really happened. Finding his family harassed by flunkies for the local crime lord, Mr. Big, Jack turns to the legendary neighborhood hero of his youth, John Slade, for help in avenging his brother. It's going to take more than one local hero to get the neighborhood cleaned up, but luckily Slade's old ass-kicking pals Hammer, Slammer, Flyguy, and Kung Fu Joe are all eager to help. That is, if Jack can just stop his Mama from doing the fighting for him.
An affectionate, sharp send-up of Blaxploitation, I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA marked the directorial debut of Keenen Ivory Wayans (Scary Movie). Wayans both wrote and starred in the lead role alongside his talented siblings, all of whom went on to the groundbreaking sketch comedy show In Living Color. Boasting a sprawling cast including genre icons Bernie Casey (Cleopatra Jones, In The Mouth of Madness), Jim Brown (Three the Hard Way, The Running Man), Isaac Hayes (Truck Turner), and Antonio Fargas (Shaft), the film updated themes towards a new generation's aesthetics, including a soundtrack featuring KRS-One, The Gap Band, Curtis Mayfield, and Fishbone. Vinegar Syndrome Ultra is proud to bring you this gold-plated cult action/comedy in 4K UHD via a new scan of its original camera negative.

Reviews
One of the year's great home-media surprises!
"I'm Gonna Get You Sucka is one of the great comedies of the 1980s - it is to blaxploitation cinema what Airplane was to disaster films, and it's just as hilarious. But I'd never assumed it would get as stunning a 4K debut as Vinegar Syndrome has given it. It looks like a new film, and it makes you realize what a great craftsman Keenan Ivory Wayans was. And the bonus features are wonderful and extensive!"
— Joshua K. (5/5)
SUCKA
"Iconic soundtrack, star-studded cast of genre darlings, and enough intentional puns and parodies to make any exploitation film fan point at the screen and cackle with laughter from start to finish. I'm Gonna Get You Sucka was the debut film from Keenan Wayans and surprisingly, the only from him I had yet to see. I loved it! "That's my theme music. Every good hero should have some. ""
— Branden Y. (5/5)
Blaxploitation Parody at Its Finest
"A funny directorial debut from Keenen, backed by a cast of familiar faces. If you're a fan of the Wayans brothers' comedies or blaxploitation films, this spoof is an essential watch. VSU's packaging is always top-notch."
— Noel H. (5/5)
"Gorgeous box set. Love the magnetic closure. Reversible art on the 4k case and loved the slipcover as well. With a nice book stacked on top, this is a nice overall presentation for a classic comedy i grew up with. Adding the protective sleeve was a no brainer. 4k is just ok, but its a retro movie, colors pop though. Great addition to my collection. Cant wait to get more Vinegar Syndrome."

A must have
"Not many films I have bought on 4 formats and this is one of them. Looks amazing and sounds better than it ever has. The extras are fairly robust and are all worth watching. Really enjoyed the ones with various members of the cast. | The packaging was stupendous. The magnet closure on the outerbox is a nice touch,along with the ribbon that helps you gett the discs and booklet out easy. Loved the art on the packaging. Nice way to reference the film without really spoiling anything"
— Newt C. (5/5)
I Got You Sucka'
"One of the best comedies of the 80's, a hallmark of slapstick and spoof comedy, and the predecessor of one of the all time great sketch comedy shows. It's awesome that a company like Vinegar Syndrome got to do the UHD so this classic has the presentation it deserves. The movie looks and sounds fantastic, plenty of extras, great packaging, buy it!"
— Cheryl G. (5/5)
You got me sucka
"Well. . . what can I say. Once upon a time I thought this was one of the funniest parody movies ever. With age however, I have come to realize that it does not sore to the heights of Airplane! or Black Dynamite but it certainly has its moments. The unfortunate misstep of Isaac Hayes is one of the funniest and tragic scenes on celluloid and Steve James' turn as Kung-Fu Joe is a hoot. Fans of 70s era black hero movies (like me) will like it."
— Shellnutt G. (5/5)
Excellent edition of a very
"Excellent edition of a very fun movie. Really nice cover art and physical extras and the discs themselves are a great presentation of the flick. As usual, vinegar syndrome do an amazing job even if it is on a smaller (and maybe a bit less popular!) movie"
— Roger K. (5/5)
Great Parody Flick!
"It's pretty impressive how good this early film is in Keenan Ivory Wayans' filmography is. I had seen this on TV when I was a kid, but only remembered a few scenes. Was so happy when I noticed one of those scenes in the preview pictures. VSU packaging is great as always and the 4K transfer really pops on a decent TV. Definitely check this out if you're a fan of any of the other Wayans' films or parodies in general."
— Alex B. (5/5)
A Classic Comedy Gets A Pristine Upgrade
"This was a fantastic 4k/blu ray of a favorite movie of mine. I love the booklet and the special features as well. The movie is still hilarious- and the movie has never looked better. This is a classic. THANK YOU VS for carrying this title."
— Israel C. (5/5)
