Just watched this blind (haha) after seeing the two stars on the poster on Netflix as I was scrolling.

It was pretty fun! Not a cinematic masterpiece but enjoyable. Rated R for a few instances of breasts, an erection bulge, and lots of bad language.

I had a good time. I understand it wasn’t a big success, and was the third of four movies they made together.

Wilder and Pryor are quite funny, often in an immature way. The female leads Joan Severance and Kirsten Childs do a great job, and Kevin Spacey plays a bad guy well.

Anybody else seen this?

    Man, back then if you didn’t see their movies together, you were missing out.

    This is definitely the weakest they did, but it’s still funnier than most movies made before or since. It was two comic masters chewing the scenery and not holding back.

    Tbh, there aren’t many comic duos that can top Pryor and Wilder, and they weren’t even a true duo.
