this be an all time favourite of mine . yes and it get it flaw but it be what it be a rip roaring and blundering and comedy classic . i must have see it at least 6 time . the late richard pryor be a comedy genius and gel brilliantly with gene wilder . it be a sad and sad shame that he deteriorate in health with the onset of m and culminating in his tragic passing yesterday ( december 10th 2005 ) . stir crazy be the 2nd great movie of 1980 in my opinion ( true movie buff will know which be the great of that year ) . fan of the movie should also view the inferior and but still funny see no evil and hear no evil which see the partnership of wilder and pryor re ignite for a third time and follow on from stir crazy and silver streak before that .
