    A very funny premise, unfortunately riddled with mistakes but overall forgivable because Pryor and Wilder are so entertaining. A classic 80's comedy that's still funny today.

    I just saw parts of this for the second time on tv. I didn't remember Kevin Spacey was one of the villains in this, but I don't think I knew who he was when I had first seen this. I love the concept and Pryor and Wilder pull off performances as a blind man and a deaf man (respe...( read more)ctively) pretty well. Unlike some of their other movie pairings, they do share a lot of screen time in this picture. I think the fight scenes by clock position, the car chases, and interrogation room scene are simply hilarious. Some of the humor is a little over the top, but everyone gives a committed performance so I'm giving it a full five stars.

    A funny film starring Richard Pryor.

    The remarkable duo of Pryor and Wilder reunite in this 80's classic comedy. Yes, it's a bit of a 'one-joke' movie that gets milked for all it's worth, but with laughs like this, who cares? The two leads are just so much fun and while it may be a bit dated, the comedic timing of R...( read more)ichard Pryor is pretty timeless. Joan Severance and a youngish Kevin Spacey make for a sinister duo of baddies, and even if you saw this way back when, I highly recommend revisiting this well loved classic from one of the truly great comedic duos.

    Oddly amusing the first time round, but loses it's charm quickly.

    Another funny Wilder/Pryor comedy.

    Ah, this takes me back: before Kevin Smith and his dick jokes, before Seth Rogen and his dick jokes, there was a time when a comedy relied on wit, timing, acting talent and a clever concept. Just like this film. Admittedly, it does still have dick jokes and swearing but it's so w...( read more)ell written and every possible joke is squeezed out of the idea - the blind gun duel is fucking hilarious. If Seth Rogen was tomorrow crowned Funniest Man In The History Of The World Ever, this film would still be funnier.

    This is a very funny movie. Stars Richard Pryor who is blind in this and Gene Wilder who is deaf. When these two characters end up by chance witness a murder they must combine their senses together to solve it. Pryor and Wilder have great comedy chemistry in this. They make this ...( read more)a fun watch. With a good story and supporting cast made for a solid film. Worth a watch.

    Madcap 80's film. Comic genius pulled off brilliantly by two great comediens.

    Well made and even better acted, See No Evil, Hear No Evil may not be a staple of the 80's comedy trend but it certainly is a genre great.

    Gene Wilder, perfectly chosen as deaf guy Dave and Richar...( read more)d Pryor, perfectly chosen as blind guy Wally, bumble around on screen in a variety of funny and at times, touching ways. Gene Wilder is at his mad, tempormental and eccentric best whilst Richard Pryor plays the blind guy like a proper method actor, just turning it into comic gold instead. He mixed with blind people and trained himself to not even blink in his scenes. Amazing acting right there, to accompany his fantastic, witty delivery.

    Directed well with nice pacing, See No Evil is non stop action and comedy at its most entertaining. Well written, with a great supporting cast (Kevin Spacey as a cold villain!!), See No Evil pulls all the punches, with a little help of Dave and his clock directions!
