He got the actor who was asking for a light too! Watch closely. He breaks character and smiles real big trying not to laugh. Richard and Gene were both masters.
Pryor is the forerunner of guys like Chappell kevin Aries and a lot of these modern comics.writing this in June 2022 while staying in due to covid.people think it's going away but it's really coming back plus we now have the monkey pox.stay safe people.
@@ferryportia9442 ha, yes. That's very subtle, because we only hear that "We don't take too much shit." line. We don't actually see Pryor saying it, haha
Fwiw, it looks like a badly done ADR thing (Auto Dialog Replacement). It's been around for a long time and it can be seen in the credits. During post production, the actor goes into a darkened sound room and tries to repeat a perfectly synced word or words that didn't record well. Other times, a new line clarifying the story is added to an actor originally not speaking but facing away from the camera. Prior probably thought it would be worth adding the line after seeing the final cut. Maybe they felt back in the analog years and without easily repeating views, it wouldn't be noticed.
Tony Burton was the epitome of a character Actor. He brought authenticity to every character. Check out how much humanity & dimension he brought to his character in the Rocky films for example.
This is pure comic genius. Sure, the punch was fake (with no bloody nose!), but the way Pryor and Wilder played off each other in a way that brought the tension in the room to a breaking point (or diffused it?) was just hilarious. They don't make comedy like this anymore. Thanks for posting. Rest in peace, Richard and Gene.
an interesting aspect is that Wilder said that he didn't actually like working with Pryor that much. I think it had to do w/Pryor being late to set a lot, doing a lot of drugs. They had great chemistry on film--but they weren't really tight off camera.

Both Gene and Richard were hilarious actors. When they played in a movie together they me rolling. Two great actors RIP Gene Wilder and RIP Richard Pryor.
Actually the two did not get along behind the scenes, they rarely saw or spoke to each other, it was said that gene Wilder who literally had a squeaky clean image didn't approve of the wild drug induced world of Richard Pryor, but did remain cordial towards each other until Pryor's death in 2006.
I laughed so hard watching this flick in the movies with my friends back in the day, I had stomach cramps for 2 damn days!!! 😂This flick put Pryor and Wilder on the map as one of the greatest comic duos of all time!!
Him trying to strike that match on his tooth then his eyebrows has to be the funniest stuff on film. Them two couldn’t be more different but fit together like a hand and a glove
Such immense talent. Wilder is one of the giants of his time. Somehow never overacted but always managed to have the attention his way. Starred in three of my all-time top five movies. Pryor, for a standup guy, was so good. Better than many actors. And these two together? Magic.
Brilliant how director Sidney Poitier still used the takes of Gene Wilder trying to hold back laughter, made it look like it was supposed to be like that.
@@garystevens4303 didn't see any big WHITE guys. If you're had said "the big dude" I'm pretty sure everyone would have still known exactly who you were talking about. 🙄
Yeah these days most people get so butt hurt about everything, back then we could insult each other racially and other ways and we just laughed about it
At what minute and second marks do you see him laughing so I can check. If you want to see one of the funniest scenes in entertainment histories see the courtroom scene when Martin Lawrence got a traffic ticket and he jumps into the jury box acting like he's insane one of the jury members looks like he starts to laugh it was unsurpressable
@@michaels5728 also before that when prior attempts to strike the match with his teeth. from my understanding the gentleman who smiles happens to be Cedric Hardman who at the time was still playing for the 49ers. I'm glad that the editor did not edit this out.
I loved it at the drive-in and no less now. Incredible comedy...Prior tries being cool and attempts to strike the Bluetip Match on His own teeth, then He even tries striking it in His own hair. Every attempt fails, until He finally gets a spark off the big, dark cowboy's chest. Folks, that's an epic sequence from a legendary film. 🎥
Did you know that Sidney Poitier direct this movie this movie right here is a golden classic i could watch this one scene right here 50 times and still laugh rest in peace to the late great Sidney Poitier,Richard Pryor And Gene Wilder.
I still quote lines from Stir Crazy even now and my kids hear me sing Birmingham Jail regularly even if it's not word perfect....Great film that's lives on through generations.
Brilliant loved these old US 80s comedies as a kid, see no evil hear no evil , brewsters millions , and Moving that was funny. John Candy brilliant too , Steve martin , Bill Murrey, Chevy chase very good era.
Good movie didn't know Sidney directed it.rip to Sidney richard and gene.they don't make movies like tjis anymore.the big cowboy is Cedric hardman a dlineman for the 49ers.
@@edwardmoore5325 Sidney's Daughter , Pamela had a small role near to the start of the film where she plays the waitress at the dinner party .Cedric Hardman died a couple of years ago too and of course same for Tony Burton . who got his head slapped ! This film also has a prisoner played by Jonathon Banks , from Breaking Bad in it .
Richard Pryor balled up like a baby had me crying 😂 laughing! The tough guy went out the window when those two black dudes asked for a light and I lost it when he struck a match to dude chest! and it lite.
Seen Stir Crazy about 20 times, still make me laugh. Pryor and Wilder duo are just pure genius. They sure don’t make films like this anymore. Comedy at its very best.
@@miles2378 They were in four films together:- Silver Streak, Stir Crazy, See No Evil Hear No Evil and Another You. Gene Wilder was his stage name. His actual name was Jerome Silberman.
They filmed this in Tucson & Florence prison around 1981. In the beginning scene there is a 69 Impala cruising thru downtown Tucson. That was Freddie's ride, i used to cruise in that Impala
Hilarious. Pryor acting terrified of the big man is hilarious 😂! His lighting the match and the short sob talk about his family....wish I'd gotten into writing for geniuses of acting and comedy like Pryor
We don't wish it because you might have just messed it up. they didn't need you THEY are fine just the way they were .I'm just saying. Try to be happy with your life and life you had and don't look back think about the good things that happened in your life, some people that end up writing for comedians and people like that end up having bad lives and tragic endings and like the writer for a good times Richard Pryor his life life had tragedies in it too
I went to see this on it's opening day. I laugh my ass off so hard in the theater at this scene. Richard trying to strike that match off his teeth, head, hair, and then off brother-man's chest is why he's the GOAT.
I really think they couldn’t have found a better pair of actors to play in this movie together other than richard pryor and gene wilder” by far the funniest two i’ve ever seen together!😂😂 rest in peace both of you.❤️❤️
I’m DYING over here-I just HAD to watch this YES, AGAIN and I only made it 40 seconds in before I started scream-laughing and woke up the entire neighborhood. When Gene says to Richard, “What are DOING?” And he says he’s getting “bad,” and suggests for Gene do the same, but Gene looks more like he’s having a seizure.
I was born in the 90s.. But I enjoy old comedies like these. Something about them make me feel happy. My dad recommended me most of these Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor movies and he didn't understand English, but laughed at every funny moment of them🤭

He wants a LIGHT.....😆
He got the actor who was asking for a light too!
Watch closely. He breaks character and smiles real big trying not to laugh.
Richard and Gene were both masters.
me too
Amazing scene lol how the f did gene hold that laugh him lol

Pryor & Wilder - One of the funniest comedy duo of all time
100% in agreement
Right up there with Jackie Chan and Chris Rock 😅
💯
You ever seen see no evil hear no evil 🤣

Yep. My brother and I went to the movies to watch it back in the spring of 1989. Great movie. The last movie with Pryor and Wilder together.
The big man in the cowboy hat, is Cedric Hardman. Great pass rusher with the 49ers, and Raiders.
You can see him holding back a smile and laughter at Pryor's antics.

My brother was so short, we couldn't even see him. I loved watching Richard and Gene. Pure comedic geniuses. May they RIP 🙏
man did you see dude started laughing LOST IT lol
Imagine if they had Steve Martin's, Navin Johnson character in this movie
If you look closely you can catch the dude cracking up.
A friend of mine in college was so short.
How short was he?
He was so short we'd trip over him and still couldn't see him!

Oh, carry me back to old Virginia lord.... It has to be the funniest line ever.
Totally agree. I had to rewind it to make sure I heard it right. 🤣
My recently deceased brother absolutely loved this line. I will always think of him when I hear it
Lol that's actually the state song of Virginia
J always wondered what he said there thanks.
Genius the white man hitting the brother snapped him back 2 slave times especially when he seen how big the brotha was🤣😂🤣
A painfully overlooked comedic film that is brilliant! The duo of Pryor and Wilder are genius and a true lesson in how comedy should be done.
It isn't very well known today, but it was one of the very few movies that passed the 100 million-dollar bar, so it wasn't really overlooked.
@@Oobido that's exactly what I was saying. It is never mentioned when great comedy films are spoken about.
2:22 "carry me back to ole viginny lawd" i lost it!!!!🤣😂🤣😂

What a wonderful story. Please tell it again

Now, more than ever, we need the laughs that Wilder and Pryor gave us.
These 2 were comedy legends. Stir crazy one of the best comedy movies ever made. RIP Richard RIP Gene thank you for all the laughter 🙏❤️
This movie was why Richard Pryor wrote the part for "Jim"from Blazing Saddles specifically for Gene Wilder.
That was beautiful well put 😊
'what baby is that sir' is one of my favourite lines of all time. classic Gene.
Him trying to strike that match on his tooth then his eyebrows has to be the funniest stuff on film. Them two couldn’t be more different but fit together like a hand and a glove
