Description

THREE HILARIOUS COMEDIES IN ONE SPECIAL COLLECTION! HEAR NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL
(1989, Rated R, 103 Minutes): It was murder! The blind guy couldn’t see it.
The deaf guy couldn’t hear it. But now they’re both wanted for it in the drop-
dead comedy, SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, that reunites the outrageous comedy
duo Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder (Silver Streak, Stir Crazy). Meet Wally and
Dave. Wally is blind, Dave is deaf. When a man is murdered outside the
newsstand where they work, the police collar these two unlikely buddies as
their main suspects. A hilarious chase ensues as Wally and Dave hightail it
from the New York Police Department to snag the real bad guys— the wickedly
beautiful Eve (Joan Severance, Black Scorpion) and her cold-blooded cohort,
Kirgo (Kevin Spacey, American Beauty). From director Arthur Hiller (Silver
Streak) comes this zany comedy caper you won’t want to miss. STIR CRAZY (1980,
Rated R, 108 Minutes): One of the looniest pictures to come along in some
time! STIR CRAZY teams two of the most brilliant and zany comic performers
today: Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. Skip (Wilder) and Harry (Pryor) have
both been fired from their jobs, so they take off in their van for California
to seek fame and fortune, but somewhere along the way the van conks out and
they’re broke and…well, they have to eat, right? So they land a gig as
singing and dancing woodpeckers to promote a bank opening. When two bank
robbers steal their costumes and stick up the bank, guess who gets the blame?
Skip and Harry are carted off to the state pen for 125 years. They try to keep
their sanity and their lives amidst: a sadistic warden, a hulking mass-
murderer and an inter-prison rodeo – all with great hilarity. THE TOY (1982,
Rated PG, 102 Minutes): For the first time in motion picture history, the
outrageous talent of Richard Pryor and the ingenious comedic sense of Jackie
Gleason are combined in the same film. Gleason is U.S. Bates, a megalomaniac
millionaire who owns most of south central Louisiana. Pryor is Jack Brown, a
former journalist who has worked his way down the vocational ladder to the
position of janitor in Bates’ department store. Among Bates’ other vast
holdings is a young son Eric (Scott Schwartz), who visits his father for one
week a year. Typically, Eric is chauffeured to the department store after-
hours to pick out anything he wants. This time, Eric has a more elaborate toy
in mind —Jack Brown. So begins the unique relationship that teaches Eric more
about life than fun and games.
