Customer Reviews

One of Wilder and Pryor's best!
I saw this movie when it was in the theater in 1989. I liked it so much that I had to buy it on VHS. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor star as two innocent guys-one deaf, one blind, and both are on the run for a murder they didn't commit! Add the wonderful talents of Joan Severance and Kevin Spacey, and you have the makings of one well scripted and very funny movie! Oh, and let's not forget Alan North as the police chief. The film's plot makes for a cops and robbers type of suspense. Of all of Gene Wilder's and Richard Pryor's works, "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" is as equally funny as "Silver Streak", which makes it a must buy!

Underrated Classic
I've seen this film five times since it was first released.
As I grow in age and watch this movie, I feel almost robbed that I wasn't either around, or old enough to appreciate the pure genius that both Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor held.

This film is about a blind man (played wonderfully by Richard Pryor) who's down on his luck and in need of a job. Luckily for him, a deaf newsstand owner (played with all the comic gusto he can muster by Gene Wilder) happens to be hiring.

Pryor owes a bookie big time, and when the bookie comes looking for him at his new place of employment, chaos ensues because he's murdered. Wally (Pryor) doesn't see it, and Dave (Wilder) doesn't hear it. The murderers get away and Dave and Wally are suspected. Their misson: clear their name.

Craziness and hilarity ensue.

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor are two highly underrated talents before the camera. The adventures that these two poor characters go through is something that a wide audience can enjoy. The use of two ailments such as deafness and blindness is not exploited or made fun of, just used for great comic timing and situations.

If you're a fan of great comedy, and pretty good action that features two comic geniuses, I highly suggest this film.

Pryor and Wilder at their best
In "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" Richard Pryor is a blind man and Gene Wilder is a deaf man. They both inadvertently team up when they are suspected as being the murderers of a man that is killed while at Wilder's store. They have to find a way to keep away from the cops while they try to find and capture the real killers.

"See No Evil, Hear No Evil" has some comedy sequences you'll never forget once you see them. The parts I remember the most are when the police woman is trying to get a head shot of Gene Wilder and it just doesn't work out for her,and the parts where Gene Wilder keeps saying times such as 1 o'clock, telling Pryor where to punch because he can't see who he's supposed to be hitting are funny too. The whole movie is hilarious, and I recommend anybody who likes comedy movies to get it.
