Silver Streak is a damn funny movie

the team of Wilder and Pryor never disappoints. True to form they are a hilarious duo. Action packed and hilariously funny there never is a dull moment.

Great comedic pairing

This movie is not only a comedic homage to Alfred Hitchcock, it is a gathering of great character actors. Ned Beatty, Patrick McGoohan, Ray Walston, and Scatman Carruthers to name a few. The movie is well written by Colin Higgins with enough twists and hilarity for everyone! Starring Gene Wilder as hapless victim and Richard Pryor as hapless saviour and Jill Clayburgh as damsel in distress, this movie never stops in comedy or mystery. Stock up on popcorn and spend an evening with a great comedic cast.

Such a classic!

I've always loved this movie. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor are hilarious together. The scene in the train station where Grover tries to make George look "black" is one of the funniest scenes of all time!

The Silver Streak

One of Gene Wilder's best movies and you will laugh through the whole movie. It's just one mishap after another. It also has a good cast for the characters.

Fun, fun movie.

Have this on VHS and now happy to have it on DVD. Love watching movies over that I enjoy---this is one of them.

Despite the presence of hack director Arthur Hiller, this hybrid comedy-thriller works most of the time as pleasant faux Hitchcock. Gene Wilder is a book editor who is relaxing by taking a cross-country train ride. Then he gets caught up in a murder--and becomes a suspect. It's up to him to prove his own innocence. As noted, the script, by Colin Higgins, owes a big debt to Alfred Hitchcock; but the mystery isn't all that mysterious and the comedy isn't all that hilarious--at least not until Richard Pryor shows up, which is at least halfway through the film. Things definitely pick up from there. Jill Clayburgh, as the love interest, is merely along for the train ride. Wilder and Pryor eventually teamed up for several other films, but they were never as funny together as they are in this one. --Marshall Fine
