Yes, I loved this movie as a kid too. I had an ABC Wednesday Night movie version of this taped from the 80s and have wanted it in my collection for quite some time. I even browsed ebay for the laserdisc and could never find it, so Im glad to hear its been announced on DVD.
This is far from my favorite Richard Pryor film, but I'm still glad to see this "guilty pleasure" coming out.
