Wayans World

A look at some of the family's flicks, including ''Scary Movie'' and ''Little Man''

Dance Flick certainly didn't fall far from the tree. Here are some of the family's most notable films to date.

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988)
This blaxploitation parody grossed just $13 mil but became a cult favorite.

Don't Be a Menace... (1996)
The Wayanses' send-up of urban dramas like Boyz N the Hood earned $20 million.

Scary Movie (2000)
Directed by Keenen, the spoof made $157 million — a record for an African-American filmmaker.

White Chicks (2004)
Panned by critics, this comedy about FBI agents in whiteface and drag still pulled in $71 mil.

Little Man (2006)
Starring Marlon as a tiny ex-con who poses as a baby, Little earned a not-so-puny $59 million.
