Trivia

The swedish title on this is "Se Upp Igen Blindstyre!" (Eng: Look Out Again, Blind Fool!) almost indicating it's a sequel to the movie "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" which translate into swedish "Hör Upp, Blindstyre!" (Eng: Listen Up, Blind Fool!). However, these movies have no connection except the two main actors.

User Reviews

Not the best plot, but great lines.

Seeing that this movie only received an average vote of 4.3, I felt that I had to set the record straight; it deserves at least a 6. True, the plot isn't the best, but the lines are superb. Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder (a great double team) really work wonders together. So please, do yourself a favour and go rent this movie, it's worth it.
