This movie does have a lot of bad language, so you wouldn't want your kids to watch, but for adults it's hilarioius througout. It has a great cast including Della Reese who will keep you laughing. It's one of those older movies that you want to make sure you have in your collection.

One of the excellent barometers to determine the success of a movie was to try to rent it. Back in the day in the african american neighborhoods, if you went to a movie rental store there were two movies that were never available for rent--the first 'Friday' and 'Harlem Nights'. Classics then, classics now. The Arsenio Hall scenes? The Stan Shaw scenes (the stuttering, lisping, high-voiced boxer)?, the fight itself? 'Sunshine'? The phone call ("Yeah listen, I ain't comin' home no more. Take care of yourself")? The scene with Eddie Murphy showing a tied-up Danny Aiello how to breathe in the vault of a dilapidated bank building? The initial reviewer clearly showed not only his ignorance but also his disdain of the african american cinema which has rarely shared its' tastes for films such as this one with the white critics who pander to their audience. But I recall a substantial amount of whites in the audiences the many times I went to see this film so it can only be said that most white critics and some white audiences have a problem with the african american cinema. But its' not going away. And three cheers to Eddie Murphy for winning a Golden Globe for his work in 'Dreamgirls'.

Though Amazon.com didn't think highly of this movie, I did, and thank goodness this movie was made!
Both Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx are not with us anymore, but this IS here. This film shows us the comedic talent of both these men, and to have stars like Eddie Murphy, Danny Aiello, and Della Reese is delicious icing on the cake.
Pryor as Sugar Ray and Murphey as Quick try to keep a vicious mobster from taking over their business. As you might think, they turn the tables on the bad buys!
Jasmine Guy stands out particularly as the mobster's girlfriend, and so does Della Resse as the hard-fighting madam with a heart of gold.
Thank-you, Eddie Murphy, for getting all these wonderful comedic talents together for us and prosperity! Because this movie exists we have them all forever.

This is one of the funniest movies if not the funniest movie ever made. You have got Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, and Eddie Murphy in one film. What more could you ask for? The fight scene with Eddie and Della is hilarious. If you do not like this movie, you must be humorless or a racist.

I dont understand how someone could watch this and not think that it was an instant classic. I was seven years old when this movie came out and didnt see it until I was 20, and it still ranks among one of the best comedies in my life as well as many other people!!
