See No Evil, Hear No Evil (DVD)

...up to. This film see Richard Pryor playing the role of Wally Kenew who is a blind man and has been told he needs to try and find himself a job so he can gain some independence. His carer and helper take him to a small store where he meets the owner Dave Lyons, played by Gene Wilder, who is deaf and the pair somehow manage to communicate with each other and discuss the job vacancy. As this is going on a customer arrives at the store but he gets shot ...
...outfits are very funny to see now. The music in the film is good if not very memorable, I do remember thinking that it was all appropriate for the places which it was used. As I have previously said this is a very funny film and I have to say that one of the parts which really stands out for me is when the men are supposed to be having their mug shots done after they have been arrested as they are unable to both look at the camera at the same time ...

Review of See No Evil, Hear No Evil (DVD)

...never heard of again. Well see no evil hear no evil is one of them cmic gems that you could watch over and over again and not tire from it. The two main stars of the film, Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder are both wonderful and self established stars with an irreplacable chemistry, and that chemistry is utilized very well throughout. Of course, the brilliantly original premise helps as well. A blind guy and a deaf guy who pair up to solve a murder? ...
...Also, if you want to see an early (comic) performance by Kevin Spacey, it's also worth checking out. Speaking of worth checking out, Joan Severance provides great eye candy, and she has a couple of nude scenes to boot. Plot Meet Dave Lyons and Wally Karew. They're as normal as every other human being around, except for one difference: Dave is deaf and Wally is blind. They meet one day when Wally looks, or rather seeks, a job at Dave's news stand. ...

Review of See No Evil, Hear No Evil (DVD)

...went to the cinema to see it three times! See No Evil, Hear No Evil was released in 1989 and stars Gene Wilder as Dave Lyons and Richard Pryor as Wally Karue. Dave is deaf and Wally is blind - neither were born this way and both struggle to come to terms with their disabilities. For a long while after he lost his hearing, Dave continued working as an actor, lip reading the other actors and pretending he hadn't lost his hearing. Wally likes to have ...
...heard the shot, but can’t see the body. Dave catches a glimpse of a woman leaving the murder scene, while Wally smells a woman. When the police arrive, they are unconvinced with this story and suddenly Wally and Dave are suspects. The people who actually did the shooting were looking for a gold coin. They can’t find the coin because the man they shot had slipped it into the box with Dave’s paper money - money that Wally puts into his pocket as they ...

Review of See No Evil, Hear No Evil (DVD)

...seen. it is absolutely hysterical. See No Evil, Hear No Evil features the creasingly funny double act of Richard Pryor one of the most influential and naturally funny comedians of our time (sadly passed away). And Gene Weilder an equally funny man with great acting ability. The Plot/ Story Basically the two men meet by chance Richard Pryor playing the Character of Wally Keru a blind man who is unemployed and seeks employment from Gene Weilder who ...
...Stir Crazy and Silver Streak, See No Evil Hear No Evil is a cut above the rest. i think the two men were at their best when they recorded this masterpiece and the fun never seems to end. the situations and trouble the men get into is simply hilarious one example would be when Wally Keru (Richard) gets stuck in a conference with many different international doctors. Keru has no idea what is being said so he has to think of something quick to say. ...

...If you haven;t seen this film, because you've possibly been in outer space for the last decade or so, then you really need to see it. It's an absolute classic, and although it makes me feel old to say it, "They just don't make them like this anymore!" ...

Review of See No Evil, Hear No Evil (DVD)

By far one of the funniest films i have seen. I had seen it years ago at the cinema when it first came out but never saw it again until dvd came along, and boy what i'd been missing. The story is basically about two guys, one deaf the other blind, who inadvertantly come into possession of a rare coin. The chase is then on from the police who think they murdered the owner of the coin and the criminals ( Kevin Spacey and Joan Severance ) who did kill ...
...Gene Wilder ( Wally ) and Richard Prior ( Dave ) arguing with each other without actually knowing it is priceless. I think in todays climate of political correctness you just couldn't get away with a film like this. Although it takes blindness and deafness it doesn't trivialise those disabilities it just takes it to the extreme with hilarious results.My favourite scene is when Prior goes for a job at Wilders kiosk and pretends not to be blind while ...
