DVD Review: Richard Pryor: Stand-Up Comedy Double Feature
Summary: 3 Stars

I'd always heard that Richard Pryor was one of the legendary AND revolutionary comedians. So I was looking forward to this. Rest assured, Pryor is very funny. But I guess being 27, it's hard to put myself in a mindset where he's the funniest or edgiest comedian around. You can definitely see how he would have inspired some of the smuttier humor of Eddie Murphy, but I'm confused as to how he would have been a role model to Chris Rock or Jerry Seinfeld.

If you are a big fan of stand-up comedy and want to get familiar with Pryor, this is definitely worth buying, but try to find it used and less than $15.

DVD Review: Pryor shows his true genius onstage
Summary: 5 Stars

The Toy. Superman III. Critical Condition. Forget Richard Pryor's occasionally shaky film work; stand-up comedy is where he truly belongs. Filmed two years in a row, "Live on the Sunset Strip" and "Here and Now" remind us why Pryor was so good at comedy.
Armed with only a microphone and his signature mustache, Pryor fires scatter-shot at everything, but mostly himself. From his dangerous dances with drugs, sex, prison, white people & rednecks, drinking & vomiting to visiting the African bush, Pryor can find humor in any precarious situation.
LOTSS is probably the stronger of the two, a fast-paced concert that of course, touches on his then-recent controversy of accidentally setting himself on fire ("The Real Story? I was having some milk & cookies...").
HAN is razor-sharp as well. Pryor even does a routine with a live hermit crab an audience member brings to him--no kidding! The material sags a bit near the end, but it's pure brilliance all the way through.
As Pryor himself has mentioned when complaints about his profanity arised: "I've never said dirty words just for shock value. Every bad word has a story or meaning behind it. In other words, there's always substance."
And what better way to celebrate his comic legacy than with this DVD concert double feature. Long live Pryor!

DVD Review: Classic Richard Pryor - OUTSTANDING
Summary: 5 Stars

These dvds show why Ricard Pryor was the Best Ever. A must see for anyone who loves real comedy.
