A good, old-fashioned comedy by two of the best. Richard Pryor plays a blind man and Gene Wilder plays a deaf guy. The two hook up for a lot of funny adventures.

I enjoyed this movie. It has typical bad language from Richard Pryor, but not enough to ruin the movie. The plot is plausible and the script pretty well though out. There's a little bit of nudity from Joan Severance.

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."

Funniest Movie I Have Seen In My Life

"I had to go and rent this movie after I saw Stir Crazy. This one was just as hilarious. I could not stop laughing throughout the entire movie. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor are great in this movie, just like they are in any movie. My favorite part is when they could not get either one to look at the camera after they got arrested."
