Comb in the hair


The funniest bit of this movie is when Richard Pryor steps off the prison bus and, for no apparent reason, has what looks like a comb stuck in his hair. Everyone else carries on as though this is an every-day, normal occurance. I don't think it's supposed to be funny, so what's going on?

It is an every-day, normal occurance. Lots of black folks with afros keep combs in their hair.

Not afro combs in prison! Talk about a weapon! And Wilder wouldn't be allowed that pencil either. These are two of the many many goofs in this film. I wish any of them were listed here.

I wasn't exactly expecting a realistic and gritty slice of prison life when I rented this movie so I can't say it bothered me too much!

Respect the afro pick. If you don't know what an afro pick is, give it a quick google and see a picture. It's funny because instead of a small afro pick it's a ridiculously gigantic comb. I actually almost wet my pants when I saw it.

Always makes me laugh that bit!
