Movie Description
A tough team of heroes set out to get Mr. Big, the man responsible for a friend's "OG" (over-gold) from wearing too many chains.
Synopsis
Keenen Ivory Wayans's directorial debut is an outrageous satire of "Blaxploitation" films and features some of the genre's heroes in self-parodying roles.
Wayans stars as Jack Spade, a man who returns home from the army to find that his brother has died of an overdose of gold chains -- all provided by the nefarious Mr. Big. So Jack embarks on a mission to gather all the most famous 1970's action heroes (all accompanied by heroic theme music) to wage war against Mr. Big. But things don't go smoothly for Jack and his makeshift commandoes, and eventually Jack finds that he must face Mr. Big alone -- and earn his own theme music.
Film Notes

Industry Reviews

"...Funny....A heartstring yank for moviegoers of a certain age and taste....This may be the first time anybody has waxed nostalgic about the 1970s..."
USA Today - p.2D - Mike Clark
"...Sidesplitting..."
Entertainment Weekly - p.71 - Glenn Kenny
"...Funny stuff....Wayans shows a refreshing taste for self-mockery..."
