Publicity for the picture stated that "the Richard Pryor that was and the Richard Pryor that is stand side by side on stage as the performer weaves pieces of his life and memories into a complex tapestry. He talks of his former self with melancholy abandon, admitting, 'It's those years that got me to this year'." See more »

Richard Pryor:
I had to stop drinkin' though. I got tired of like waking up in my car - drivin' 90.

He's 7 months sober and doing a stand-up show in New Orleans. It's the last of his concert films. He's as foul-mouthed and irreverent as ever. He's energetic. The audience is yelling back and he's having fun with them. He's quick and sharp. He tackles everything including his own personal demons. This is a clear-headed legend at work.
