The studio where it was filmed was right behind my neighborhood. I used to walk right by it to go to my after-school job back then. One day they had a line to get into one of the trailers and I got in the line. It was an autograph meet and greet with Pryor and Gleason. I didn't have anything to sign so I just said hello and left. Gleason was very cordial, Pryor looked like he would have given anything to get out of there.

He was just looking for a place to snort some bugger sugar.

I draw the line at “The Jerk”

They can pry that from my cold dead hands.

Came here just to comment that one of my teachers was in the final scene. Weird things you remember from 25 years ago.
