Pryor is in peak form, playing language, facial expressions and physical movement like notes in a thrilling hard bop jam session. In fact, he slips so effortlessly in and out of characters--each one markedly different, each one sharply drawn in mere moments--that the film becomes evidence that Pryor could have become one of the greatest character actors of his generation.

Man, this is still really funny. The John Wayne bit was my favorite.

Stylistically, this is the stand-up concert film that all future stand-up films and television specials emulate. Immensely influential, and for good reason: this is the funniest 80 minutes of stand-up comedy ever recorded in any medium, and Richard Pryor is a goddamn beast of a performer.

Pryor was one hilarious motherfucker.

Quite funny, Pryor was such a cool guy. His deer impersonation is awesome

Some damnnnn funny parts, like the stuttering chinese, the pain while running, the hunt, the doberman and the dog next door.. Eddie really learned his shit from this legendary comedian.

The funniest son of a bitch to ever walk the Earth at his finest.
