Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pryor shows his true genius onstage
The Toy. Superman III. Critical Condition. Forget Richard Pryor's occasionally shaky film work; stand-up comedy is where he truly belongs. Filmed two years in a row, "Live on the Sunset Strip" and "Here and Now" remind us why Pryor was so good at comedy.
Armed with only a microphone and his signature mustache, Pryor fires scatter-shot at everything, but mostly himself. From his dangerous dances with drugs, sex, prison, white people & rednecks, drinking & vomiting to visiting the African bush, Pryor can find humor in any precarious situation.
LOTSS is probably the stronger of the two, a fast-paced concert that of course, touches on his then-recent controversy of accidentally setting himself on fire ("The Real Story? I was having some milk & cookies...").
HAN is razor-sharp as well. Pryor even does a routine with a live hermit crab an audience member brings to him--no kidding! The material sags a bit near the end, but it's pure brilliance all the way through.
As Pryor himself has mentioned when complaints about his profanity arised: "I've never said dirty words just for shock value. Every bad word has a story or meaning behind it. In other words, there's always substance."
And what better way to celebrate his comic legacy than with this DVD concert double feature. Long live Pryor!
Rating: - Classic Richard Pryor - OUTSTANDING
These dvds show why Ricard Pryor was the Best Ever. A must see for anyone who loves real comedy.
Rating: - Rich the King of Comedy
He's the real King of Comedy
He died way to early.
There are a lot of funny people, but no one can touch him.
I whould say Rich forever.
Rating: - A GREAT SET! CLASSIC PRYOR LIVE ON SUNSET STRIP
This is one of Pryor's funniest sets! The first show is good the second is great. You can't beat the price for this double feature and the DVD is a very good transfer!
Rating: - Richard Pryor: Stand-Up Comedy Double Feature
Two of the greatest of Richard Pryor's stand-up routines. I have had this on vhs for several years now and just had to have it on dvd. To my delight the video resolution was far clearer on dvd!
