wHAT???? No threads about this movie?


Im only 31 and this movie was frikin funny as$ Hell!!!! Whats wrong with you morons? Pryor is a God of comedy and Im sure there are quite a few of you out here that have seen this movie and agree.

Im with you. Ive liked this movie since i was age 11.

I certainly agree with you. But can you help me out with the title song? Do you know what group performed the vocals?

This is by far one of the best classic comedic films of all time. Richard will be remmbered for his versitile rolles in this film which was groundbreaking to his surcesors.

Carramel - Stargard performed "Which Way is Up"

You are absolutely right. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It's certainly my favorite Pryor film "vehicle" primarily because he was able to riff on his Mudbone and Preacher characters. The scene with his wife and the vibrator is a classic too. It's just a shame that more of the movies that were built around Pryor as the star weren't of this quality or better.

I saw this movie at least 10 times and I still can not stop laughing.
I don't think many people have seen this flick.
Only 183 votes. That's pretty low for a movie database.

Right on. Just watched it and am dissapointed there's not much discussion. Interesting, though uneven movie. A lot of fun as a showcase for Pryor, comedically and dramaticly. Lonetta Mckee is smokin hot in this movie.

I am equally surprised at the lack of threads on this movie. This was one of Richard Pryor's funniest films, a little on the raunchy side, but falling-down-floor-funny throughout. Pryor played three roles and made them all distinctive and very entertaining. An unsung classic from Pryor.

Richard's best work IMO. Great supporting cast, too. Before there was "Coming to America" there was "Which way is up?"

reply

Pryor's funniest movie "sit down before I put this glove on your a$$!"
