Where to even start with this guy. Young Frankenstein? Blazing Saddles? Willy Wonka? I'm going with the more obscure and largely forgotten Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor:
August 29th, 2016 at 7:46 PM ^
Stir Crazy was highly underrated with King Kong Bundy.
August 30th, 2016 at 9:20 AM ^
"That's right, we bad" was an oft-quoted line back in the day.
+1 to you sir, to Gene Wilder, and to RIchard Pryor for bringing back the memories.

He was that old. If someone asked me how old I thought Gene Wilder was, I'd say mid 60s.

Adored him. This is terrible news.

Reunited in the afterworld with Gilda Radner hopefully - taken too early for her time - and laughing his ass off with Richard Pryor again... I remember my Mom quoting the "We Bad!" line when I was a kid ..parents were big fans.
Stir Crazy ...Blazing Saddles ...Willy Wonka ....lesser known Silver Streak. Bummer.
August 29th, 2016 at 3:52 PM ^
and Richard Pryor in Stir Crazy.
"thats right...we bad" always cracked me up.
I too had no idea he was that old.
RIP

Mr. Salt: What is this, Wonka, some kind of funhouse?
Wonka: Why? Having fun?

You should open your mouth a little wider when you speak!

He was a great comedic actor.
When I think of him, I think of him with Harrison Ford in the "Frisco Kid".
That movie sounds AWFUL on paper, but somehow works well in execution.
Man, 83 is just 35 years away.
Where does the time go? I remember when he was young!

Quackser Fortune and Start the Revolution Without Me.... and, of course, the Producers.
I'm wet and I'm hysterical.
August 29th, 2016 at 4:09 PM ^
The Producers ....nice call!

I remember seeing an interview with Mel Brooks talking about how he had bounced the script for Saddles off his good friend Wilder. I forgot the name of the actor who was cast as the Waco Kid but it turned out he was really drunk all the time! Brooks had to replace him and asked Wilder to do it. Wilder was in NY working but flew back for the few days of filming that were needed. He already knew the script, so....
I love stuff like that.

Haunted Honeymoon was always one of my favorites.

Was having a good day up until this point.

August 29th, 2016 at 9:46 PM ^

if you haven't seen it.
Do
. He was just a very funny man.
August 29th, 2016 at 4:23 PM ^
Hmm.you could actually make more money with a flop than you could with a hit!
August 29th, 2016 at 4:25 PM ^
He was ok until you took his blanky.
August 29th, 2016 at 4:18 PM ^
We lose......
RIP, sir.
August 29th, 2016 at 4:25 PM ^
One of the best.

Blazing Saddles is one of my most favorite movies of all time. I will watch it in his honor. RIP
