SuaveStar Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I actually don't think I've seen anything with Richard Pryor in it. Would this be a good place to start or not? Yes, and no. It really depends on if you want to see a comedy Superman film, where the main Metropolis cast is booted in the first fifteen minutes, you get a secondhand Lex Luthor clone, and that really is a waste of time. Watch movies where he teams up with Gene Wilder, such as See No Evil, Stir Crazy, and Silver Streak. Watch them, and then watch Superman III, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.

The first scene of Superman III was enough to turn me off. It was WAY campier than the museum scene done to Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Harlem Nights would be another Pryor movie to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, don't watch it as a Superman film with Richard Pryor, watch it as a Richard Pryor film with Superman in it. Not going off track on this thread, but Pryor openly admits in his autobiography he was doing cocaine at the time of signing on for Superman III, and regretted it, as he didn't read the script. But he got through it by doing a lot of drugs, and having an affair with Margot Kidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George W. Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 But he got through it by doing a lot of drugs, and having an affair with Margot Kidder. Probably at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Just watch Prior's standup. If you never have seen that and only watch the movies he was in you'd never know he was the funniest man who ever lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
