( Details ) Director: Spike Lee Video Release: February 2001 | Theatrical Release: Runtime: 115 Rating: R (MPAA) Released by Paramount Home Video | UPC: 097363392446 chapters.indigo Review Four African American Comedians decided to pool their talents in 1997 and take the show on the road. The result is one of the most successful touring acts in North American history. Spike Lee filmed The Original Kings of Comedy in an easygoing documentary style that showcases the talents of Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer and Bernie Mac. And these boys have talent. Their sets, always laced with a touch of the irreverent and ribald, will leave you doubled over with laughter. You’ll get to learn a little about the performers backstage, but this tape mostly just features their routines and their brilliant gifts for humour. Notes Released theatrically on Friday, August 18, 2000. The film was shot on location at the Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina on February 26 and 27, 2000. Spike Lee shot on digital video to better capture the spontaneity of the performers. Created in 1997 by Walter Latham, the "Kings of Comedy" tour has become the highest grossing comedy tour in history while remaining relatively ignored by white America. Description IN THEATRES: AUGUST 18, 2000 With this feature-length documentary filmed the evenings of February 26 and 27, 2000 at the Charlotte (N.C.) Colleseum, Spike Lee captures the spirit of the "Kings of Comedy" tour, focusing on stand-up geniuses Steve Harvey, Cedric "The Entertainer," D.L. Hughley, and Bernie Mac. The tour began in 1997 and has since grown in scope and popularity to its present status as one of the highest-grossing and most highly lauded black comedy shows. However, until Lee stepped up to the challenge of documenting the tour on film, it was also a well-kept secret among its attendees. Now, these "Kings of Comedy" comedians and their high-volume acts can be enjoyed by audiences everywhere. Synopsis When four of the world's funniest black stand-up comics came together to celebrate their crownings as the "Kings of Comedy," acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee decided to film two of their most memorable shows. The result is THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY, a raucous concert film that takes its cue from classic performers such as Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. The host of the evening, Steve Harvey, spends most of his time criticizing modern music--namely hip-hop--for forgetting to include love in its songs, missing the days when black music was passionate and romantic. D. L. Hughley focuses on universal topics such as work, as well as taking his time to criticize certain unfortunate audience members. Cedric "The Entertainer" makes a series of clever points about the differences between white and black people, in addition to using his large frame to dance and run around the stage to hilarious effect. Capping off the film is Bernie Mac, a frustrated forty-two year old who is sick of sex and believes that people should tell it like it is, no matter whom they might offend. As funny as each individual is, they also take the time to make poignant observations about race, relationships, and popular culture, giving the film a sincerity that is truly refreshing.
