This special limited edition deluxe magnet box + slipcover set (designed by El Cesart), includes a 40-page perfect bound book and is limited to 6,000 units. It is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

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.

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)

Great to see this get some respect

"Haven’t seen this movie in years and it still holds up as really fun and well made. Kudos to VS for such great packaging, too!"

Brennan B. (5/5)

Yes, yes, YES!!!!

"If this wasn't a sub title, I'd have gotten it faster than anything ever. This movie will teach you KUNG-FU, KARATE, JIU-JITSU, and all kinds of other sh14 you ain't never heard of!!! Get it today!!!!"

"Beautiful box set, had to pick this one up."

Rafael C. (5/5)

Legitimately hilarious! Classic!

"I've been a sucka for movie parodies since I was a tiny elementary school person and discovered MAD magazine, specifically when I was on vacation in Ocean City, MD, reading the novelization of THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE by Paul Gallico because POSEIDON was my fave movie at the time (I saw it 3x in the theater), and wandering into a newstand/gift shop saw MAD #161 (still remember the issue #) with THE POOPSIDE-DOWN ADVENTURE, and fell in love with movie parodies. The fact that such a serious movie (at least to 8 year old me) could be made fun of so irreverently was kinda shocking, and turned my whole sense of humor upside-down. Then came more MADs, Cracked, THE BIG BUS, Mel Brooks movies like HIGH ANXIETY, the Carol Burnett show with Tim Conway's "lucky ham" JAWS parody, etc. etc. I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA belongs in that elite group of pitch-perfect movie parodies (specifically the Blaxploitation genre for SUCKA) that is both loving and scathing, and laugh-out-loud funny from beginning to end; like any great comedy, it gets funnier the more times you watch it. Great cast, great writing, highlight after highlight, I was ready to watch this again the second it was announced as the newest VSU."
