Adios Amigo is one of Fred Williamson 's greatest misses. He is credited for writing, directing, producing and starring in this, so I would hold him most responsible for this abomination. This is a rare opportunity for him to team up with comedic genius Richard Pryor. I know this was low budget, but I fail to see if any of the money spent ended up on the screen. The film is a technical mess and was shot so poorly, it's hard to tell at times what is going on. There is zero chemistry between Fred Williamson and Richard Pryor. Basically, Richard Pryor is a con man and when his schemes go awry , Williamson has to step up to the plate and beat up a bunch of dudes in Pryor 's behalf. The film plays out in the same predictable fashion, until it ends. Nothing Pryor does here is funny and nothing Fred does on screen helps matters. The screenplay is 12 pages long and it shows. Fred's direction is atrocious and really fails to make much sense. Had I been entertained, I would not have minded. The film as a whole falls apart and falls flat. This has been on several dump bin cheapie DVD boxsets( The 50 movies for $5 variety). But don't be deceived, Adios Amigo is basically unwatchable and one of the stinkiest of cinematic turds that is out there.
