This movie was the very first I seen with Pryor and Wilderer teamed up they are extremely funny together they feed off each other in a good way,like him and Mel Brooks kinda way if you love either i say see this movie.
absolutely ridiculous & hilarious. i have a soft spot for richard pryor so even if this movie wasn't amazing, i still loved it & it made me laugh to tears. the pairing of gene wilder & pryor has happened in several movies, & for a good reason: they play off each other extremely well. completely hilarious.
This movie is hilarious. It stars the classic comedy team: Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. 'Skip Donahue' and 'Harry Monroe' are best friends living in New York City, and they are going no where in terms of jobs. They want to writers and playwrites, but nothing is breaking for them. So Skip decides the best place for them is Hollywood, so they pack their bags and head out west. They get stopped in Texas though, when their van breaks down, and they have to look for work to pay for the repairs. They end up landing a song and dance act in a local bank, but then two hoodlums up to no good, steal their costumes, come in pretending to be them, and then preceed to stage a robbery. Well Skip and Harry end up being arrested for the crime, and then it's a hilarious ride in the state penitentiary. During their time, they and some friends, decide to set up a jailbreak. And it works. But by the time they get out, the police have caught the real robbers and Skip and Harry are Free As Birds!
genious! genious! genious! its amazing! Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor make a great team in this hilarious comedy! I loved it from the beginning to the start!
this is hilarous. this film was on the tv one night and me and my sister alma watched it.its hilarous we were in stitches laughing for the whole film.i love gene wilder.
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, someone must have been smoking some weed when they put these two together (and you know they were) but it totally works. This movie is funny with a plucky spirit. ;)
Unknown to many, this film was directed by Sydney Poitier of 'In the Heat of the Night' fame. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were such a great comedy duo it's hard to believe they only did two films together. Very dated now, but still one Hell of a good giggle. Among my top five comedies of all time.
I know it's very dated and most of the jokes run like old tv reruns, but it still had some very funny moments. I liked it . Wilder & Pryor were pretty funny together.
Bought this on DVD recently, and found that they must have filmed two different versions-the version that I have watched many times on tv has no swearing. It hasn't been cut out, it's actually replaced with different script. The DVD is the rude version, but the trouble is it isn' t anywhere near as funny. If anyone knows of a DVD version with the tame script let me know.
