Editorial Reviews

Hosted by Pryor, diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in the 80’s, the hour-long tribute includes appearances from a few special friends, including Dave Chappelle, Margaret Cho, Jamie Foxx, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Harvey, Chris Rock, Denis Leary, Robin Williams, and many more popular entertainers. The program also features clips of previous concert appearances, recordings, and unreleased diary excerpts. The entertainer describes the irreverent special himself: "It’s not a B.S. didn’t-he-USED-to-be-great tribute. It’s a funny (expletive) show. I may have MS, but I ain’t dead yet, (expletive)."

1.0 out of 5 stars Great Comic. Terrible DVD., June 1, 2006

This review is from: Richard Pryor - I Ain't Dead Yet, #*%$#@!! (Uncensored) (DVD)

Perhaps the worst tribute DVD I have ever seen. Jump cut editing will give you ADD (we're talking literally two-second sound bytes!), the grabs are pointless with very few comedians talking about Pryor getting more than one sentence in before they jump to the next trendy talking head. None of them say anything funny or enlightening either, which is surprising for something that is supposed to be a comedy/tribute DVD. A handful of Pryor clips from an existing concert (just one) and two short clips from the Richard Pryor show. The sycophantic background laughter at EVERYTHING their interviewees say (and I mean EVERYTHING, it's pathetic) is really grating. And there's too many terrible comics on here - Margaret Cho, Cedric the Entertainer, George Wallace, Jamie Foxx and a bunch of sub-Martin Lawrence jarheads. Spend your money on one of his live concert DVDs. This is rubbish made by people who think they have a sense of humour. It's a beer coaster.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't Get It., April 6, 2005

By 

Chris "Metal Reviewer" (Open Minded, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Richard Pryor - I Ain't Dead Yet, #*%$#@!! (Uncensored) (DVD)

Ok, so Richard Pryor is the greatest stand-up comic in the whole freaking world and he still is because nobody's been able to surpass his comic genius. Anybody who doesn't think R.P is the greatest should go f**k themselves. So, why did I give this dvd a 3 star rating? Because it is just a bio with some commentary and some clips of his material. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against a biography, but if you ask me, I think they they could make a lot more money if they make this: A three dvd set. Two of those dvd's hold all of R.P's material, and the other dvd holds the biography and commentary of other stand up comics. I think that would be the ultimate dvd set ever! Anybody who is with me on that idea, please answer yes when it says, "was this review helpful to you?".

-PEACE YO!

This review is from: Richard Pryor - I Ain't Dead Yet, #*%$#@!! (Uncensored) (DVD)

i m a huge fan of richard pryor, and i m very disapointed by this dvd, i was waiting for unreleased stand up, and all i had was a "not too bad documentary" hbo level, with extract of already realeased show...live on the sunset, new orleans stand up and the late 70's one with the monkey's joke... i m very very very very dispointed, and pissed off, not for the money but for the joy i made myself about wieving something new about pryor, no just exploitation of the goldmine...hope more dvd will be released with old treasure that i don t know about...plus on the dvd it is nowhere written that its a documentary...
