Richard Pryor Movie

December 9, 2004 10:58 AM

Sometime in the middle of his career, Richard Pryor appeared in a movie that featured a giant middle finger on the back of his car. Anyone remember which movie that was?

This whole thing comes up because someone pointed me here today.

I can't recall exactly, but it might have been MOVING. He definitely flips off people in that movie, though I can't quite remember the bit with the car.

If you don't find it here, you might try the forums on Pryor's website.

Well, it's not Superman 3 but I doubt it would've hurt the film to have thrown that in too. The scene with the walk/don't walk sign guys fighting is one of the (oft-forgotten) lowest points of cinema in my opinion.

It's also not Stir Crazy.

The quotes page for 1988's Moving makes a finger reference, but that's the best I could find.

The IMDB message boards are really helpful for answering these types of questions. not to imply that AskMe isn't as helpful, just saying
