New Lines Platinum Region 1 edition of Max Julien's The Mack is about as good as it's going to look. Good commentary track too. Don't know if it's OOP but probably cheap eBay / Amazon. Richard Pryor must have been a nightmare to work with!

Once he got into crystal meth/crack he would have been grim to be around no doubt, but in the 70s probably just a coke fiend, so just a bit jangley and babbling a lot, but yeah, must have driven directors mad.

I snapped up the above title years ago along with Universal's Willie Dynamite and That Man Bolt DVDs. The latter is the only one i've managed to watch so far and the other two remain brand new!

Which is the one that features a scene of 2 thugs in an apartment complex corridor beating a man with a baseball bat? And I think it might also have a scene in which a car crashes in to a telephone box? (I might be getting 2 movies mixed up with each other) But the one I'm thinking of has the first scene I mentioned and looks like it has a serious, gritty tone. Apparently Tarantino liked it.
