RICHARD PRYOR IN 'SOME KIND OF HERO' W/ MARGOT KIDDER
Release date: 1982 |
RIP Margot Kidder May/2018 |
Then Pryor's rhythm transfers somewhat smoothly as another, far more important progression occurs, turning HERO into an awkward dark comedy back home when, after his personal life hits a few giganic snags, including a cheating wife, a sick mother and what he had to do back in Vietnam haunting his future, Eddie becomes a bumbling crook to get the money he deserved for serving, and sacrificing for, his country... Then he sets his sites on something more reliable...
With Caren Kaye |
Pryor Unpantsed |
Meeker-looking Jason |
TRIVIA: The same year character-actor Peter Jason played the bartender who says the “Black Russian” joke to Eddie Murphy in the hillbilly bar, Torchy's, in Walter Hill's classic 48 HRS, he messes with Richard Pryor in this movie… also in a bar!
Making the fantastic, still relevant performer the only actor not only to play a guy who rapes Marcia Brady (in Gary Graver's exploitation TEXAS LIGHTNING around the same time), but a jerk who attempts bullying two of the most popular black comic icons ever, and the tables turn literally each time, not in his favor • And blonde beauty Caren Kaye, later known as the title hottie in MY TUTOR, shared (when the particular screen capture was uploaded onto her wall by yours truly) that it was a long day's shoot, being pregnant and all.
