One of the first R-rated movies that I saw when I was only 14. I recall going to the theater with my mother. I had told her the plan was that I was going to see another movie, which she was OK with.
In the lobby, I cased out another couple that could stand for my parents and followed closely behind to get in.It was worth it because the jokes and gags have provided many laughs over the years.
For example:
"He hates the cans"
"I was born a poor black child"
"He's got rhythm!"
"Two hundred and fifty big ones"
"The new phone book is here!"
"All I need is this chair"
Not politically correct by modern standards, but it was a spoof in the Mel Brooks/Richard Pryor style of the 70s.
First movie for Steve Martin, who was a stand-up comic up to that point before becoming a big movie star for decades.
