MrFill Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I don't know how this got missed. On Saturday Richard Pryor passed away from a heart attack. The man was truly a comedy legend. RIP Richard, you were the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Was it Richard Pryor that did a movie where at one point he disguises himself as a KKK member? if so what movie is it in and is ther any other movies/dvds you recommend as I have seen very little of his work but heard alot about how good h was.

MrFill Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 You're thinking of Blazing Saddles, which he co-wrote, but he didn't star in it. Movies he starred in that are "must see" ones: Stir Crazy. Brewster's Millions. See No Evil, Hear No Evil. His stand-up work was legendary though.

FreeSpirit Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Stir Crazy was my favourite Richard Pryor film. He truly was a great comedian, and will be sorely missed RIP RICHARD PRYOR 1940-2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The man was a star, I only heard about this yesterday and I didnt have time to post a thread. RIP dude, you made me laugh every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoPogo Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Total, total legend. He blazed a trail for other (not just black) comedians to follow, by using his own pain for his material. God speed, at least you're no longer suffering. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Genetic Jackhammer Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 R.I.P Richard, some of his films where great and he was a great stand up comedian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 A fantastic comedian who always made humour out of the things he had done wrong! His addictions, his arrests, they made an appearance in his stand up acts, and he was hilarious about them all. A great comedian, one of the best!
