These are both iconic but for different reasons. Which Way Is Up? showcases Pryor in multiple roles before the trend was popularized for comedic use [excepting the great Peter Sellers and likely others I'm not aware of] by the likes of Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. Bingo Long And The Traveling All Stars has a star studded cast and is worth it's price IMO for the posterity of that alone. I'll definitely be grabbing this one.

I so-o-o long for Blu-ray upgrades to arguably the best two Rchard Pryor movies ever... RICHARD PRYOR LIVE IN CONCERT (1978) and RICHARD PRYOR LIVE ON THE SUNSET STRIP (1982) The earlier concert is -- and nothing else comes close for me -- the funniest hour and a half I've ever spent in a theater. I literally could not stop laughing, and had a difficult time catching my breath. Unfortunately, the DVD is soft and ruddy, and the red shirt Pryor was wearing looks a dull orange. Please someone, rescue this! While not quite as breathtakingly hilarious, SUNSET STRIP, filmed after Pryor had recovered from his cocaine addiction and a heart attack, contains some unsurpassable moments of comedy mixed with horror and sadness. Sony owns this one, so...no excuses!

Perhaps Obi-Wan (OG) might differ ...
