Trivia
Third of four star teamings of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. The other movies were Stir Crazy (1980), Another You (1991) and Silver Streak (1976). Additionally, both men were involved in Blazing Saddles (1974): Pryor as a co-writer, and Gene as Jim, "The Waco Kid". See more »Goofs
Dave responds to much of Wally's and other people's conversations throughout the film without looking at his lips. For Dave being deaf, this would be impossible. Examples are when Dave are looking into the binoculars and at the hotel front desk looking down at his sign-in sheet. See more »Quotes

This pairing of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, while not "Silver Streak" and not the first half of "Stir Crazy", is still an amusing comedy with some absolutely hilarious moments. I mean, let's face it...the second half of Stir Crazy is as boring as it gets. This film lags in spots, but the chemistry of Pryor and Wilder does satisfy. Stay away from "Another You" (as I did). I figured that this film was as good as we were going to get from Pryor and Wilder. Was I right? I dunno. I stayed away from "Another You".
