Crude. Foul. Real. In a word?? that's Richard Pryor: Live in Concert. In this?? the funnyman's first and best concert film?? Pryor does dead-on impersonations of the respective races?? cussing?? trying to act tough?? getting kicked in privates. But it's his imagination that elevates him to a different level and hints at the comedic genius of the man. He gives his impressions of what animals think?? from his own animals (a monkey?? a Doberman) to police dogs?? and it seems so exact?? so precise. Not to mention the fact that he is at his self-deprecating best?? skewering himself as much as any other subject.
