@@christopherallen3923 Ah, well like I said I like The Toy, especially since the cast is stellar for such a comedy style movie. I wasn't too keen on the ending so much, but it was a funny movie for sure. I never understood why so many people literally hate it though. Meh, who knows.

"Silver Streak", "See No Evil Hear No Evil", and "Stir Crazy" with both Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder are comedy gold!!! They make a great comedy team!!! "Which Way Is Up" and "Jo Jo Dancer are also great Richard Pryor classics. I also recommend an 80's comedy classic "Arthur"(1981 version)

My favorite Richard Pryor movie is "The Toy" with Jackie Gleason. It was filmed around the same time and it is hilarious Richard Pryor's physical comedy is so good in this movie.

Thanks for this one! John Candy/Richard Prior made a great team. Rip to both

Rick Moranis( Dark Helmet) plays the guy who repeats everything Brewster says

Trivia facts: Brewster's Millions was originally a 1902 novel written by George Barr McCutcheon where a man named Montgomery 'Monty' Brewster has to spend $1 million in one year to inherit millions more. There were a series of films about it which as follows: Brewster's Millions (1914) Based on the play of the same name where Brewster (Edward Abeles) has to spend $1 million in one year or less in order to inherit $7 million (considered a lost film) Brewster's Millions (1921) Brewster (Roscoe Arbuckle) has to spend $1 million in six months to inherit $4 million (lost film) Miss Brewster's Millions (1926) Polly Brewster (Bebe Daniels) has to spend $1 million in 30 days or less to inherit $5 million (lost film) Brewster's Millions (1935) British version where Jack Brewster (Jack Buchanan) has to spend 500,000 pounds sterling in six months to inherit six million pounds. Brewster's Millions (1945) Monty Brewster (Dennis O'Keefe) has to spend $1 million in 60 days or less to inherit $7 million. Brewster's Millions (1985) Monty Brewster (Richard Pryor) has to spend $30 million in 30 days to inherit $300 million. Bollywood versions: Maalamaal (1988) This Hindi-language version was released in India in 1988. The plot remains the same - spend 30 million Indian rupees in 30 days or less to earn 300 million rupees. It is an obvious scene-by-scene "Indianization" of the 1985 Richard Pryor film with some additional scenes and a few musical production numbers. Arunachalam (1997) An Indian Tamil-language film based also on the Brewster story, with significant differences from earlier versions, particularly in the first half. Many plotlines are interwoven, but the basic concept, spending 300 million rupees in 30 days to inherit 30 billion rupees, remains the same.

Thanks for straying away from the top 10 - 80's movies list that everyone else react to on KZread and watch a regular classic 80's movie. I love the 80's so the more variety of 80's movies reactions the better 😊

FINALLY!!! I've been hoping y'all would get to this classic!! It's one of my all time favorite movies! I watched it a million times when it came out!! ❤️

Can you please watch "stir crazy" and "see no evil, hear no evil" 2 classics. Awesome reactions guys😁

"Marilyn? I could die in this room." Fun Fact: Princess Anne visited the set during filming as part of her U.S. tour. Lost In Adaptation Fact: This is the seventh movie adaptation of George Barr McCutcheon's 1902 novel. In earlier adaptations, the hero was required to spend only a million dollars. Historical Fact: In a few scenes, a train passes through the outfield of the stadium where the Bulls play. In the 1930s and 1940s, that was a common occurrence at ball parks used by teams in the Texas leagues. Political Science Fact: Brewster's (Richard Pryor) political party "None Of The Above" (NOTA) is used in jurisdictions or organizations to give a voter who opposes all choices on a ballot a chance to indicate their disapproval. The underlying principle is that legitimate consent requires the ability to withhold consent, and allowing voters to withhold their consent in an election to office is just like voting no on ballot questions.

Great reaction to this 80s comedy classic you two... If you like both Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, they did a total 4 movies together... Silver Streak (1976), Stir Crazy (1980), See No Evil Hear No Evil (1989) & Another You (1991)...and all of them are funny in my opinion...

Finally! A different movie I happened to have seen and liked. 'Which way is up' is awesome, as is 'JoJo Dancer' which is like autobiography. Also 'Blue Collar'. Great themes.

It's breath of fresh air watching movies I've never seen before (including the last two), I know there must be parts missing from editing but still a great watch and reaction from both of you two.

You guys are awesome for reacting to this. This is one of my fav Richard Pryor comedies even though he has done so many cool movies and his stand-up comedy is amazing.

OH LET'S GO!!! Loved watching this beauty with you two! Thanks for that.

Loved this reaction, one of my all time favourite movies!

This is one of my all time favorite, underrated movies. I miss both Pryor and Candy.

This is awesome that you guys are doing older movies as well. This is a great one. Most of all of Richard Pryors movies are great.

One of my all time fave feel good movies. As ever, Asia is correct ....spending that amount of money in thirty days, particularly back then, not as easy as it first seems. :-) PLEASE add HOLY MAN (1998 )with Eddie Murphy, to your list, you guys will absolutely love it. Eddie is superb as ever. So funny and offbeat.

I'm so glad you reacted to this movie. This is one of my all time favorites. We all wished for this to happen to us, I know I did.😊

One of the best movies ever. My children were in grade school when this came out. Such happy memories. Thank you!

This is such a good movie!!! Glad you two are going to (have now) see it.

I really liked this movie back in the day. I think I was around 16 when it came out.

Yoooo! What a deep cut, I love this movie. Pretty sure I could spend 30 mil in 30 days. I'm with Brewster, go for it.

I was 16 when this came out. I’m an old west coast Canadian and grew up with these types of movies. John Candy is so awesome but Richard Pryor is truly a genius. So glad you watched this. I was surprised that you had not done any Richard Pryor. FYI if you do more definitely watch “See No Evil Hear No Evil”. Him and Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein/ Blazing Saddles).

I have always thought the concept for this movie was awesome. Asia got it right away. This was before the Power Ball came along.

FINALLY someone reacts to this movie!! It's by far my favorite Ricahrd Pryor movie. Really, really love this one :)

So glad you did a Richard Pryor movie.😂👍 He is a comedic GOAT (One of Bill Burr's favourite comedians). Enjoyed seeing you both having a good laugh. You should check out "Harlem Nights" with Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy another comedy movie. Hilarious IMO

See no evil, Hear no evil !!! Movie With Richard and Gene Wilder is a MUST see !! Very funny and a big Classic ❤

It’s such a great concept for a story. You have to spend the inheritance and have nothing too show for it; without telling people about the bet.

I’m so glad you chose to see just what a lovable genius Richard Pryor was. Watch it again and focus in on his facial expressions and manner of speaking. Hysterical tour de force for him!

I loved this movie, saw it when it came out and I loved the ending.

GREAT film with Richard Pryor and John Candy. Very underrated, IMO Richard Pryor was the BEST. He was a freaking comedic genius.

OMG this has been one of my favorite comedies since I was a little girl. I've watched it a million times and it never gets old the premise of the story is so creative. John Candy and Richard Pryor RIP

Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. The entire cast is just perfect. Of course, Pryor and Candy steal the show but Lonette McKee as Angela is just as memorable. And yes, I'm sorry, but when this came out, I was 11 years old and had a HUGE crush on her. I thought she was literally perfect lol I know, lame.

Richard Pryor had another little known comedy in the 80's called "The Toy" if you need a fix.

If you haven't seen See no evil, Hear no evil. I believe that you two will enjoy because it has Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder in it

The movie is an Americana classic. Worthy of a first time view and never forget it.

Remember that 30 million in 1985 is about 87 million today. It's MUCH harder then it sounds to spend that much when you: 1. Aren't allowed to have anything to show for it 2. Can't give it away 3. Can't have help 4. Can't destroy anything with value 5. Must get fair value (can't purposely overpay)

Oh, man, a forgotten 80s classic! And a semi-famous remake, on top of that.

So many lottery winners splurge and end up broke again. Uncle gave him a crash course in learning the pitfalls. That way the $300m would be a lot safer. ❤ this movie. So clever and funny.

This movie was on Dutch tv at least 6 times a year in the 80s and 90s and I watched them all as a kid. Ooooh I miss those good all days when Hollywood was still interested in giving us great comedies (instead of lectures)

I love this movie, folks swear they could do it, but most of them didn't listen to all the rules. This would be hard, even today at 80 to 90 million. The advisor was right even the most frivilous spender would still accummulate assets.

For instance he could hire the security guard because he's getting value in him being the head of security and the others value in they are protecting thirty million dollars. However hiring Jane to spend three million doesn't actually get you value for money. Not to mention the more you spread the spending out (if you can) the more odds one of them spends it on something that's an asset or does like his friend did and hides it away to help him. Assuming of course you don't have corrupt lawyers trying to make you fail as well.

It would be the equivalent of hiring a car broker to find you a vintage car, or an art dealer helping you find some great paintings. Only here, it would be experiences. The people's job would be to find experiences for you to spend money on. For example, if I was to take on this kind of challenge today, I would go spend the money on going to space. I think there was a billionaire, might have even been Jeff Bezos, who paid millions of dollars just to go up in space for like a day. I would just pay to go like 10 times in two weeks, and the money would be gone.

Legendary movie's are the most memorable. 💎💫✨

Lonnette McKee who plays Angela Drake was in the original 'Sparkle' with Irene Cara. She was also in 'Malcolm X' with Denzel, 'Jungle Fever' and 'The Cotton Club'. She's also a singer. My favorite album is Words and Music.

One of my most favorite movies. If I see it showing, I will stop to watch it...always. 👍👍

ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DID THIS CLASSIC

Omg sweet!! Love this movie! I’m gonna dive right in. Thanks for watching this movie, nobody does.

Love the reaction guys you can't go wrong with Richard Pryor definitely a comic genius this is a great movie with him and John Candy but definitely need to check out Sliver Streak and Stir Crazy with Gene Wilder

Great reaction guys! You should react to the buddy/cop movie that started it all: "48 Hours" (1982) with Nick Nolte and an absolutely hilarious Eddie Murphy in his film debut.

I like to think about all the people he payed to do silly jobs. How the money went back into the community. Maybe the security guard was able to afford braces for his daughter or glasses for his son. Things like that make me love Brewster. I also like to think that he was very generous after he got the big money too. Thanks so much you guys! Great movie. I've loved it since childhood.

What was AMAZING about Richard Pryor is that he was not a trained actor, he started out as a stand-up comedian and got a lucky break to star in a movie that led to more movies, yet he proved to be a great actor.

Now this what I’m talking about. Love these classics 👍

Love this movie.... His best movie ever is SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL!!! Him and Gene Wilder are amazing in it. Please watch that ❤

This is funny!! BJ's mind looks like he is living it out through the movie! LOL

Oh man. I had TOTALLY forgotten about this movie. Kudos to those who recommended it. Pryor & Candy lol Fun Fun Fun.

I absolutely love watching your videos!! You guys are really honest with your reactions, and I appreciate that.

Maaaaaaaan, I grew up on this movie. This is one of those films we had on Beta (VCR) and would just watch over and over or have it on in the background in the play room or when we were doing sommat else.

So glad you're watching these older movies that really brings one back. Pryor was super in 80's "Stir Crazy" with Gene Wilder. Be well 👍✌️

Such a fun movie. I saw this and the Toy when I was a kid and had no idea he was so dirty in his standup.

One of my favorite classic comedy films. Glad you guys had a great time with it!

I’d rent a venue and book every singer I like to give private concerts for me and people I love. That would burn through the $30 million super fast. And no assets! Fun reaction! I enjoy your content a lot.

Another great Prior and Wilder movie is See No Evil Hear No Evil or reverse Hear No Evil See No Evil. One is deaf the other blind. Absolutely hilarious!

This was a fun one guys, haha shoot. Car Wash, Bustin' Loose, Stir Crazy, See No Evil Hear No Evil, Superman III, Silver Streak, Greased Lightning, Blue Collar, The Wiz, Some Kind Of Hero, The Toy, Harlem Nights, Jo Jo Dancer Your Life Is Calling are other Richard Pryor films. CalixYukon good pick man. Nice reaction. Sorry I missed the drop. RIP Jerry Orbach from Dirty Dancing, Toy Soldiers, and the original Law & Order as Detective Lennie Brisco.

great choice! Richard is so cool made me laugh so much

Thank you! Nice to see something reacted to that hasn't been done 500 times.

Warren is played by the guy who played the dad on the TV show "7th Heaven". The white-haired lawyer who tried to rip-off Brewster played Mr. Tate, the boss of the husband of Samantha Stevens, in the old TV show "Bewitched". The whole movie has lots of notable actors in it.

"None of the Above" - brilliant

Pryor is either your favourite comedian or your favourite comedians favourite comedian. The stand up goat

This movie is great. Also, one of my favorite Richard Pryor movies is called Critical Condition. That is hilarious.

Amazing movie.... its been decades since i watched this sleeper hit so thank you guys ✌️🙂

I can't believe you watched this! I saw it just a couple months ago. Good stuff. See no Evil, Hear no Evil is another GREAT Richard Pryor film. Similar films are... "trading spaces", "arthur (the original)"..maybe "king ralph"...and that anne hathaway film haha

Classic! Grew up watching replays of this on TBS.

Hi Asia & BJ, the actor portraying George Granville was David White. Who also portrayed Larry Tate the Advertising executive & Boss of Samantha`s husband, in the `60`s (Bewitched) Tv Series. Another character he portrayed was J.J. Jameson, in the original (The Amazing Spiderman) Tv Series from the `70`s.

I love this movie, even in 2023 i still believe it is the best film of Richard Pryor. I have seen this many times over the years and never get tired of it. John Candy and rest of cast are great.
