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.
@@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
Michael - You hit on something that a lot of people gloss by! Everything I watch a comedy film, especially silly and/or slapstick comedies, I always watch the "extras" in the background! More often than not you can see them doing everything possible to hold in their laughter! Great stuff! As great and funny as "Stir Crazy" is, it would've been do much better if the whole film was as hysterical as the first half hour or so!
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.

Just when you think you know something for sure, and then....BAM...You find out that you had it all wrong the whole time! Now it makes sense Brother!

Your comment is a little interesting but it's vague so it loses its impact ,,be specific when you say gene keep together what are you specifically talking about and when you say he breaks what are you talking about? it could be a couple different things so please if you get a chance be specific because your comment is interesting either way but just want to know how you meant it did you mean he breaks in not showing fear or he breaks character or what did you mean 🙂
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.
@@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. 🙄
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.
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
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!!
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.
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
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.
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.
At 4:13 the "bully" even loses it and laughs! When Pryor said everyone is his family was short and that his little brother was so short they couldn't even see him ..hell I lost it ! lmao !!!1
This is a time when we all knew it's just a movie and had fun with deference in its simplicity. no one was offended, no activists lining up, no messaging was embedded, just slapstick and raw comedy, in other words.... These were the Good Ole' Day's.... we have forgot what comedy is, or what true talent looks like....
@Hanover Fiste I also lived through those times. The way I see it, the return of racial tensions was more about someone getting elected President when no one thought that would be possible for another decade, and a lot of white conservatives seeing crowds of thousands of crying joyus black people, and reacting as if something had been taken away from them. Its not hard to notice that the whole "I want my country back" mantra was being put out by right wingers after 2008.

So many funny scenes but this is the hardest I laughed. When he says you can kiss the baby. I would love to see more of Cedric Hardman. He's a natural.😂😂
This movie came out in 1980. The Soviets invaded Afghanistan, John Wayne Gacy got the death penalty for the 33 boys he murdered and buried under his house, the FBI did a sting operation on members of congress, someone tried to kill the pope, and Iran was holding Americans hostage they kidnapped from the Embassy. It’s easy to look at the past with rose tinted glasses but there is nothing new under the sun.
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.

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
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 .
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.
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
Remember, Pryor and Wilder have a “Blazing Saddles” connection; Wilder costarred in it and Pryor wrote dialogue for it. Their teaming was comedy genius.
Seriously 😒 I think the Blackman in the blue shirt 👕 does an amazing acting job. Going from rage 😤 to pure fear after he hits the big man was very well played. I am sure there are plenty of positive comments about Pryor and Wilder but sometimes it’s the other side actors that really do a job well done making a movie like this such a classic.
Pryor & Wilder - One of the funniest comedy duo of all time

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.

What a wonderful story. Please tell it again
I saw this movie on On-TV back in 1981.

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
When I watched this movie with my dad I will NEVER forget how he busted out laughing when they lite the match off the dude's chest LOL
The most funny comedy duo! The chemistry of these 2 comedians gave us great humor.
I was in a bad mood. Now I’m not. These guys are the best.
There's something so frickin funny about the way that Wilder slides out of the scene after the punch.
Directed by Sidney Poitier (RIP)
gives a true good laugh , thats for sure .may they both RIP .
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.

I was going to ask, "who is the big Cowboy"?
Thanks.
@@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 .
This was yearly watching back in the day if you didn’t have cable. Wilder and Pryor were great together.
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.
Bro the funniest part in comedy period..so short we couldn't see him. 😂and the whole " You don't want no shit🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂😂🤗 looked like Gene was having a seizure
A little too bad don't you think lol
@Gary Jagger Pryor was a writer on Blazing Saddles and Mel Brooks' original casting for the lead role but it ended up going to Cleavon Little.
One funny movie !!!!! After all these years!!!!
These two gentlemen truly loved each other.. damn
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
Remember, Pryor and Wilder have a “Blazing Saddles” connection; Wilder costarred in it and Pryor wrote dialogue for it. Their teaming was comedy genius.
Richard Pryor wrote the dialogue for Mongo. Mel Brooks brought him in to play Sheriff Bart but Warner Bros said no
Let's not forget, the guy in the blue shirt trained Apollo Creed 😂😂😂
"Take me back to old Virginia" LMFAO.
Those two holding each other in fear. I almost soiled myself. XD
OH-HOOOOOOOOOO carry me back to old Virginia lord😭😭😅😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seriously 😒 I think the Blackman in the blue shirt 👕 does an amazing acting job. Going from rage 😤 to pure fear after he hits the big man was very well played. I am sure there are plenty of positive comments about Pryor and Wilder but sometimes it’s the other side actors that really do a job well done making a movie like this such a classic.
