I cannot imagine anyone but Cleavon Little in that role.

I think Cleavon Little was the better comedic actor.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Absolutely. Thankfully Pryor was too strung out at the time to play Sheriff Bart I've read different stories about that. One was what you just said, the other was there was a scheduling/contract conflict. Here's what I believe: Richard Pryor jogging

Quote HistoryQuoted: I heard Richard Pryor and Marlon Brando had a collaboration. I now regret making this thread, would have not thought to search for Pryor/Brando  And now, seeing Kevin Spacey in this movie, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, I'm a bit more creeped out. |

Quoted: Was looking for a lighthearted comedy to watch tonight. Came across See No Evil, Hear No Evil; would have been out when I was in high school. Thought to look up other Pryor & Wilder collaborations, from what I found the above is the only one I hadn't seen. Wonder what Blazing Saddles would have been like with Pryor in a big role on screen, vs. Pryor just contributing to the screenplay? That was referenced in Robin Hood Men in Tights. Dave Chappelle was Achoo in it. |

Blazing Saddles is a work of art, I remember seeing it in the theater when it came out and we laughed for a week.
I have some un-opened DVDs of that movie, with the stupid shit going on these days, the DVDs may be worth a lot of money down the road No one could replace Cleavon Little, he was excellent in that role |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I cannot imagine anyone but Cleavon Little in that role. +1 Pryor was kind of a genius, but could go dark places. He can do really deep comedy, but when he tried to do light humor it comes off sort of forced. It's like a R rated film trying to be PG. Watch Pryor on SNL, he can do all the edgy stuff without missing a beat, but when it comes to something slapstick he seems out of his element. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Which way is up is good. He's made plenty of really good films, I just don't think he could have pulled of Blazing Saddles as well as Clevon did. I thought Harlem Nights was excellent and the combination of Fox, Pryor and Murphy might never be surpassed. Even Arsenio was funny and that's difficult. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pryor was king of stand-up. Never comfortable with Hollywood. He might not have been comfortable with it but his comic timing transferred to movies well. Saw a bunch of movies with him as a kid in the theater that were hilarious, busting loose, silver streak, I even liked some kind of hero although that was a bit more serious. |
