Dated Well !


Despite the references to Jim Brown and others, this concert film dated well. Richard Pryor spoke on the assumption that his audience would know who Jim Brown is, but didn't take into account that thirty years from the date of his performance there would be younger viewers who wouldn't know. The same goes for the cameo shots of audience members. In about ten years time from now, any company that releases this film will probably have to make subtitle notations to clue viewers who these people are. Celebrity is truly fleeting!

Yes, this is still hilarious.

My favorite of his stand ups. He seems so calm in this one. And I am married, so hearing his views on it makes me do that silent 'I totally understand you' laugh. Love the red suit too...and the cinematography was awesome. Beautifully shot.
