Original Kings of Comedy Page #4

Synopsis: February 26 and 27, 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy play Charlotte, NC. The themes are Blacks and Whites, men and women, old-school and hip-hop. Steve Harvey emcees, celebrates '70s music and lyrics of love, and pokes at folks in the front row. D.L. Hughley mines racial differences and talks about his marriage. Cedric the Entertainer riffs on a Black president and on being grown up. Bernie Mac, who says he expresses what's in the back of our minds, closes with reflections on being 42 (new aspects to his sex life and his attitude toward children). Spike Lee's camera takes us backstage and off-stage with the Kings and into the crowd where everyone's laughing.

will make you satisfied.

I would have killed you in the past.

Talking about knife,

it's different from a gun.

The position of the wound

is usually under the armpit, here.

The wound is a bit bigger,

and the face will twist more.

If you're betrayed by your own friends,

you will even...

I didn't expect... it's you...

Get lost!

Brother Sunny, I...

I just want to act,

give me a chance please.

Do you love standing here?

OK, stand here, I won't pay you a dime.

I'll act even if you don't pay me,

I only want a lunch box.

But lunch box costs money too, beat it!

Sunny.

What is it, Martial Art Director?

It's bad to use this mannequin

to disguise as a dead man.

Figure it out, we're in a hurry!

Yes, OK... got it.

Thank you, Brother Sunny.

Only a lunch box.

No problem,

should I put some make up on?

Put it on now.

Director, the actors are ready.

Actors are all ready.

Action!

Cockroach...

Let's help sister Cuckoo.

Cockroach!

Go to hell!

Sister Cuckoo, don't be afraid.

Sister Cuckoo, don't be afraid,

it's OK now.

Director, can we cut now?

It's still running?

Cut!

- OK.

- Are you OK?

Must you do all these

to kill a cockroach!

Let's see if he's alright?

I'm fine, Sister Cuckoo,

thanks for your concerns.

Why don't you move at all?

I didn't move

since Director hasn't shouted 'cut' yet.

So I mustn't move.

Do you hear that...

He keeps on acting since the Director

hasn't shouted 'cut' yet.

This is what I always tell you:

professionalism.

What's your name?

I'm called Wan Tin Sau.

- Yee, give him a cup of coffee.

- Yes.

- Get his phone number for me.

- Yes.

You... work in my team from now on.

Thanks, Sister Cuckoo.

- Is this shot OK?

- Yes.

Weapon comes.

- Sunny.

- Yes.

I am telling you,

even extras are important.

The one who played the father,

we mustn't use him again.

Got it, Sister Cuckoo.

Sister Cuckoo,

I am the one who played the Father.

In fact, it is like this...

Fine...

Let me clean it for you,

towel, get the towel.

- Sister Cuckoo!

- Watch out!

Sister Cuckoo, are you alright?

Don't touch.

Don't touch!

Very pretty.

Sister Cuckoo!

Security guard, is there someone here

who teaches acting?

I've been in the field of art for ages.

Whether it's movie or TV,

I'm experienced.

I was the creative director

in Amusement Park Theatre.

So I can sing and dance.

You mean you are the instructor here?

Well, many people here

love theatre and play.

They love studying plays with me.

Those people introduce us here indeed.

OK, this way please.

It's you?

Didn't you play in that film... that...

The stupid man standing behind, falls

after stepping on a banana peel?

You noticed my performance too?
