I watched this on HBO as a kid in the 80s. Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder were always hilarious IMO.
Just watched this myself the another day. Great movie, and these two together are always great. If you enjoy this watch Silver Streak one of my favorites.
I shall, thanks!
Depending on how old you were, I bet Joan Severance made an impact on you!
Wait, Severance and Spacey were both in this?
Recently watched Wiseguy for the first time, where they were paired up as creepy brother and sister, must have been only a few months before this was shot.
They are! And I've never heard of that. Was it any good?
We've enjoyed it. The second season story arc about a charismatic figure who latches onto white supremacy politics as his latest grift is a little close to the bone in the current climate.
(And I personally had a little fun spotting posters for Canadian punk bands like D.O.A. and No Means No in the background, as it was one of those of Stephen J. Cannell shows among the first wave of US productions shot in Vancouver.)
It's available for free streaming on a few channels but unfortunately, the whole story arc about the record company is just cut entirely as, like a lot of shows from the 80s, they couldn't license the music rights.
Music broadcast rights strike again. I remember those being a pain in trying to watch british Top Gear, where the BBC had the rights to broadcast the music on TV but not to stream it online.
How creepy was spacy? I remember how much he stood out and this was in the before times, like House of Cards before.
Somewhat, but he was playing a cold British bad guy, so some creepiness is par for the course.
