A little different sort of comedy for Pryor; not as raucous and vulgar. In fact, the last half was more of a drama than a comedy. Pretty much run of the mill biography of some racer I've never heard of; lots of fun car racing scenes - many of them the real thing. When the film ended I had to wonder if every southern racecar driver is a redneck racist idiot or if the picture overdid it just a tad.

The true autobiographical story of Wendell Scott (Richard Pryor), the first African-American race car driver in the 1960s, struggles through with a strange production that just never really feels right for some reason. This is meant to be a drama and Pryor just does not feel right playing an important part like this. Pryor's rival/friend Beau Bridges and Pryor's wife Pam Grier also seem out-of-place in this strained picture that seems to be suffering an identity crisis. A lot of rough drama mixes with ho-hum race sequences and waning attempts at romance and comedy that end up being more detrimental than beneficial to the overall cohesiveness and effectiveness of the film. Fair, but really no flair. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

I love this film. Richard Pryor is outstanding in ine of his rare straight, non comedic roles. The show is almost stolen by Cleavon Little; he rips it up. Pam Grier was never more beautiful, and Beau Bridges is terrific. A must see for all Richard Pryor fans.

I was young when I first saw this movie , but since grown up with it . Everything about this Movie is great from Start to Finish . I recommend watching this movie .Especially if you are racing fan ..I would like to add one thing . One location of the filming was not listed in the credits. From the trailer of the movie , and into 1:42 seconds of the trailer their is a race scene. This was actually filmed in a little town in Byron Georgia at track Called Middle Georgia Speedway. I went to the abandoned track the other day , you can still see the props from were is was filmed. All the Actors worked so well together in this movie .And you could tell Time and patience was essential.

It's not often I get to see a movie that isn't 1) unbelievably complicated in psychological meaning OR 2) unbelievably complicated in futuristic technology SO I found it GREAT ENTERTAINMENT, REFRESHING, POSITIVE, AND most of all CLEAN, HEALTHY FUN! This is the best I've seen Richard Pryor star in, and the real life Horatio Alger story is a real force for success motivation, even though I am a WASP. Only the jaded and/or mean spirited would turn this one down.

This movie dramatizes the life story of Wendell Scott (1921-1990) the first black champion in NASCAR who is in the Hall of Fame since 2015. He was a lifelong resident of my mother's hometown of Danville VA. He developed his driving skills running moonshine whiskey up and down the hills out in the country. This trade gave quite a few early stock car racers their education in building fast cars and outrunning the police. He faced many challenges, dangers and hardships due to racism but persevered to pursue the sport he loved. The banning of Confederate Battle flags at NASCAR events is in today's news. In light of that, there is a scene involving a flag that made me laugh.
