seriously folks, THIS IS THE BEST STAND-UP FILM EVER
the rest of his live standups was after his accident, and it was after he was a movie star so he's sort of going through the motions; ie, he had a real good day job and was doing standup for the heck of it... in this film tho, it's when he is right on the verge of big stardom but he hadn't quite reached... dont get me wrong, he was in many films, but he was still more of a cult actor at this point... also, he hadn't hit rock-rock bottom yet with the drugs and that's another great reason that this is Pryor when he's at his best... this is the PERFECT richard pryor standup, and the BEST standup movie ever, ever, ever...
