“Gene Wilder would always try to hang out with the prisoners, ‘Hi guys, how you doin’?’”
“Gene, get your ass over here!”
“What do you think they’d do to us, Rich?”
“F… us!”
“But I’m not homosexual!”
“Homosexual got nothing to do with it. They don’t f…. you cause you like it. They f… you just to see that look on your face.”
Richard Pryor talking about when they were filming Stir Crazy at The Arizona State Peninteniary.
People forget, Pryor wrote much of "Blazing Saddles", where he and Wilder became a team. "Silver Streak" never got its due. In my book, one of the top ten comedy movies ever.
