@Almighty1 I think some are responding to your comment in such a way because it doesn't appear you understand what Blaxplotation movies are, although I agree with your comparison to All That Jazz.
THANK YOU
White dude here. This has nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. It is a biographical movie. Pryor plays Jo Jo Dancer, a popular stand-up comedian, who has severely burned himself while freebasing cocaine. The film came out six years after Pryor had set himself on fire while freebasing. Also, he was one of the best comedians ever.
@Almighty1 Do you not know ANYTHING about Richard Pryor?
Thank you so very much!
Great film thanks, and no it wasn't a blaxploitation film as it was made and released by a major studio ffs traditionally blaxploitation films were cheap, non studio and very B unlike this A grade movie
