1of2. Gene and Roger look at Pryor's and Murphy's career as of up to 1983. They feel that Murphy's career is taking off while Pryor's is faltering. They look at Adios Amigo, Saturday Night Live, Richard Pryor: Live in Concert, and Stir Crazy.
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert enthusiastically review this third Star Wars movie. Roger mentions in 1983 there would be "6" more Star War movies after this one. Gene is very excited about the movie at the time, but when the dvds came out, Gene said that it wasn't up to par with the first two (I will try to get that clip up later.)
Gene and Roger laughingly review Red Sonja that has Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and they enthusiastically review Back to the Future with Michael J Fox.
They also review Places In The Heart directed by Robert Benton with Sally Field, Lindsay Crouse and Ed Harris. They can't believe the content of Until September with Karen Allen. The stinker of the week is Bolero with Bo Derek.
1of2. Gene and Roger give a mixed review to Fletch with Chevy Chase, and they didn't like the 007 movie A View To A Kill wishing that this was the last with Roger Moore.
