Pryor had done other concert films ... but this is far and away his finest -- Pryor firing on all cylinders.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a stand-up act, and I don't think I've ever learned so much about comedic influences in one sitting.

Anybody who thinks Eddie Murphy is funny should watch this and discover where he stole his act.
