    This 91 minute doc is mostly repurposed footage. That said, I haven't seen most of it in >15 years, so it was really enjoyable. Lots of documentary footage, Dennis Miller, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield and more share their thoughts and impressions. Anybody who remembers how big Kinison was when he hit, how original and fresh, will find this well worthwhile.

    well its the best Sam Kinison movie I've ever Sean! it has His Brother in it to explain what happened to Him to end His life and it was not Drug's! His Brother explains that He couldn't do Coke anymore because His Heart became Medically sensitive! Richer Pryer give's His thoughts on Sam as others do, a great stand up and explanation of His life and Death by His Brother! I'm buying this one to add to my collection for sure!!!

    This is BULLSHIT! This disc contains NO DOCUMENTARY or video at all. This is a damn CD! I rented this BULLSHIT especially for out of town guests who specifically requested a Sam Kinison VIDEO. The synopsis states there is comentary by RICHARD PRYOR and that the VIDEO is 90 minutes long. There is in fact only a 36 audio track. I am so disappointed. You'll have to make this up to me BIG TIME or I SWEAR I'm opting over to NETFLIX. The ball is in your court. Don Juan Douroux
