Following the success of Silver Streak, Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder teamed up once again for this feast of mugging – directed by Sidney Poitier, no less – which has them wrongfully imprisoned for a bank robbery. It’s not great. Some might even say it’s actually irritating. But Pryor’s chicken scene is hugely entertaining.
It’s on screen in Come the Revolution’s No B/S series, which celebrates black comedy as part of the BFI’s Comedy Genius season.
