i love gene wilder and richard pryor . silver streak be great . hear no evil see no evil wasn not bad . i just do not get why this movie be so highly think of . it have a few chuckle here and there and but all in all i do not find it that funny . the funny moment be gene wilder craftiness in deal with the guard brutality . richard pryor strike a match to the big guy in jail be funny too and although it do not make much sense . i have see both the tv and dvd version of this film and neither be able to impress on me the reason this movie be consider to be a classic . both actor have have funnier film ( together and on their own ) .
