There are no words to describe just how amazing this film is. It salutes respectfully the blaxploitation era and the actors, with a clever hint of satire ( whereby the baddie is a White rich man, keeping black people down..) but most importantly it has the best jokes I have ever ...( read more)
i have to admit, despite this film being terribly silly, i loved it. it was just hilarious.
This early outing by the Wyans boys is a fitfully funny spoof of 70s blaxploitation films that's occasionally hilarious. But only occasionally. Worth a look if you're a fan of the genre.
Definitely has its moments--especially if you catch all the references, but not as good as I remember.
I?ve come not to expect much from these kind of wacky spoof movies, and I?ve come not to expect much from the damn Wayan Brothers, but this thing really did suck. The movie does not have any kind of plot to speak of, it just tries to go from joke to joke. I could live with that...( read more)
Very funny parody, a la Airplane, of Blaxploitation films of the 70s. Worth checking out if you have a soft spot for stupid humor. Some of the best gags include 'The Pimp of the Year' awards and a hilarious bit with a young Chris Rock.
The funniest part was when Supa Fly got out of jail and thought the platforms and the butterfly collars were still in style LMAO
Might as well rate it classic (we'll see). This is one of Keenan Ivory Wayans' best movies because a decent plot and execution are existent. Blaxpoitation it is, or should I say, a parody of it, but it's done so well that it's funny as hell versus corny as spit.
There are a handful of funny parts in this movie, but overall, you wouldn't be missing much if you didn't see it.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!" !
