BA_Harrison Take two excellent comedic actors-Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder-and a brilliantly simple premise-a blind man and a deaf man are wrongly suspected of a murder- and what you have is See No Evil, Hear No Evil, a side-splitting farce in which the disabled pair, Wally (Pryor) and Dave (Wilder), have to try and prove their innocence by tracking down the real villains (played by sexy Joan Severance and Kevin Spacey).With Wally unable to see and Dave having to lip read, the scene is set for some incredibly funny knockabout comedy and hilarious verbal interchanges, ably handled by veteran director Arthur Hiller (who also worked with Pryor and Wilder on Silver Streak in 1976).There are way too many funny moments to list, but my favourites are when Dave misunderstand's bad-tempered cop Braddock (Alan North), thinking he has said 'Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman', and Wally, posing as a Swedish gynecologist, giving a talk on multiple orgasms in geriatric women!Also worth a mention: Severance's shower scene (the actress going topless) and Kevin Spacey's facial cyst (the actor had it removed soon after, but here it is so big that it deserves a screen credit all of its own).7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

Leofwine_draca SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL is a fine '80s-era comedy that features a couple of big names pairing up. These are Richard Pryor, delivering an utterly convincing performance as a bolshy blind bloke; and Gene Wilder, a whimsical delight as a deaf guy with a chip on his shoulder. The two get engaged in a murder plot involving a gorgeous femme fatale and a youthful Kevin Spacey playing a British baddie. As expected, there's a lot of character interplay here, a lot of slapstick, and a lot of bad language, but it's nonetheless clean entertainment and also very funny. Pryor and Wilder have a ball as the odd couple and the highlights, like the car chase scene, are really very good.

RbDeraj I was thoroughly impressed with this movie. The writing and the script were wonderfully done with witty remarks and hilarious scenarios that kept the laughs nonstop. But it wasn't all fun and games as they also added other serious elements to make the story more heartfelt. The duo's chemistry was flawless as they bonded over their struggles and disabilities. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor executed their roles perfectly and made a very convincing blind and deaf man. It was also interesting to see a young Kevin Spacey before his career took off. I will have to see some more of Wilder and Pryor's collaborations. Exceptional film.

mark.waltz You definitely have to have a "Family Guy" type of humor to like this somewhat tactless film about a deaf man (Gene Wilder) and his blind store clerk (Richard Pryor) who are accused of murder and go on the run to expose the real criminals. When Pryor's bookie is murdered inside Wilder's Manhattan convenience store (while his back is turned and Pryor hears the gunshots), it is obvious that they will end up being accused, and the absence of their different senses draws them together as they must support each other and communicate only through Wilder's ability to read lips and Pryor's ability to hear. A combination of both a "Road" movie and Mel Brook's "High Anxiety" (already a spoof itself, of Hitchcock films), this utilizes much tactless humor to give us the adventure which leads up to the obvious conclusion. While "High Anxiety" took Brooks and Madeline Kahn all over San Francisco, this film gives us a look at late 80's Manhattan, from the very lower east side, an obvious under construction West Side Highway and ultimately somewhere in New Jersey. The chase seen is to this film what San Francisco was to "Bullitt", and it never lets you look away. Pryor and Wilder don't have the good material here that they had in "Silver Streak" and "Semi-Tough", but unless you are too politically correct to enjoy a good laugh at the expense of the handicapped, you will find yourself embarrassed by laughing. Wilder's character, in particular, is an angry deaf man, and the initial meeting between him and Pryor (plus a later fight between the two of them and a bully in a bar) are truly angry in the way they deliver their humor. Kevin Spacey is one of the villains.
