I'm watching it right now. In turns of pure humor, this is the funniest Wilder-Pryor team-up, and makes you wish they'd done so much more together. And despite the blind/deaf humor, the characters do come off sympathetic. Among the best moments:
-the "Who's on First?" routine with Wilder's mugshot -Wilder's panic over getting a "men's rea," or however it's actually spelled -our heroes attempt to drive out of New York -Pryor's ridiculous Swedish accent when he's posing as the doctor, and how he basically wings the whole conference -Alan North demanding they come out of the motel room immediately, prompting every single guest at the motel to stop their illicit activities and surrender -Pryor's "duel" with the blind villain
and so, so much more.

And with regards to John Edward Kilduff, why doesn't he come back to the Rewind? After all, he seemed to be a nice bloke.

'The Rocksteady Flamethrower'. If I recall correctly he felt that he was rubbing people up the wrong way, so he withdrew. I seem to recall he was a nice guy, and nothing he said ever seemed aggressive or nasty. But there was a lot more arguing on The Rewind at the time, and maybe he felt he was contributing to the negativity.

what a classic! Typical wilder humor. This movie made me laugh so much...stamping his feet in handcuffs along the sidewalk so pryor could hear him was one of the funniest things i think iv seen on film.
