...bunch of mean muthas break down doors, dismantle fire escapes, throw people off balconies-and these are the good guys. They are the drivers for the D.C. Cab Co. One black dude (Charlie Barnett) gets scared and screams, "I'm goin' to nigger heaven!" Then there's the amazing Mr. T, who drives a cab with gold grillework and gives inspirational speeches from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. "You've got animal magnetism!" shouts the wife of the fleet's owner (Max Gail), a hippie Viet vet who enforces discipline with...

"Being black has never been a hindrance to me," Murphy says. "I've been called 'nigger' only once in my life. There's very little anger in my humor." Pryor's movie characters show the resentment and vulnerability of the underdog; Eddie, in front of the cameras or away from them, is a hot dog, full of sass and guileless assurance. The Murphy...
