Customer Ratings & Reviews

A Classic film from the 70s. about a train and some bad guys.

the 3 stars is for the picture quality. its not bad but no real need to buy if you already own the dvd

More of a whodunit than flat out comedy but still fun. Looks pretty good on blu but nothing impressive.

Classic comedy pairing of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor are usually hilarious together...

Saw this when it first came out in the 70's and at the time, thought it was funny. 30 years later, it's poorly edited, directed and way, way to long.

Many will rejoice to know that one of Gene Wilder's more enjoyable movies is on Blu. But, they will also be disappointed with the Anchor Bay presentation. The picture appears to have a soft look. It does not pop like so many other Blu-rays. One cannot argue it is age, because there are far too many cases with older films that look so much better. But that being said, the film itself is a fun mystery with the added attraction of Richard Pryor, Jill Clayburgh, and Patrick McGoohan. Along for the ride, Ned Beatty, always a delight and the always impressive character antics of Ray Walston (South Pacific, My Favorite Martion) and Richard Kiel (007's "Jaws") along with a host of other impressive character actors. A truly fun filled ride.

SILVER STREAK is the first of four comedy movies which paired Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. The comedy in this movie is hindered because Pryor doesn't appear until relatively late in the movie. Also, the Blu-ray video quality is comparable to a dvd. Another negative is that there are no special features (commentary, documentary, etxc.) included. STIR CRAZY starring Wilder and Pryor is a better movie.
