Greased Lightning

This movie is decent and all. But I would not consider it on my favorite list of films featuring either Richard Pryor, Beau Bridges, Pam Grier, or Cleavon Little. Even then, it was still worth a watch.

Fun, Amusing, One of Pryor's best and more serious performances, Pam Grier shines as Pryor's supportive wife. Well staged racing scenes,

Always loved Richard Pryor and Cleavon Little.

This racing movie was pretty good. Richard Pryor, Beau Bridges, Pam Grier, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. This true story about the life of the first African American stock car driver Wendell Scott was dramatic, inspirational, and entertaining. It's about doing something that you've always wanted to do and not letting anyone get the best of you. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching.

For Richard Pryor fans, this biopic of the first African-American Nascar winner is not bad.

good bio-pic about USA's first black stock car driver

Based on the first African American NASCAR driver, Wendell Scott. Could have been better as the movie glossed over too much of the racial issues he faced, probably because the producers couldn't address them in a real way at the time.

Fantastic. One of my favorite Richard Pryor films.

Good racing scenes, if you're into a bunch of bootleggers smashin' into each other on a dirt track. (Say what you will about present-day NASCAR, there was a time when stock car racing was *awesome*.) Otherwise unexceptional.

my husband and his dad (99percent dad) owned the #1 red 38 plymouyh coupe that earl hindman (beau wells) drove in the first race scene. in real life the car was #42,and was driven by wendell scott,HIMSELF.the car left my father n laws shop in 1976 in originial form (owner bob neal painted over the drivers door roof and va#42 on the doors.my husband(herb neal)painted the white(half moon)on the lower trunk lid.) bob neal and his #42 was not on the car in the movie due to legal rights pertaining to warner brothers studios.(so the neal family was told).
