'Dancer' Continued from page 8 j Pryor is rarely seen doing his great stand-up comedy here. Ini stead, the focus is offstage, on * the changes over time which lead to his character's near selfl destruction. He may have felt : uneasy playing experiences so close to his own, but none of that shows. He gives his best perfor; mance to date. This film is not always pleasant i to watch. There is nudity and vulgarity, as well as unsettling , views of drug use, emotional turmoil and burned flesh. Everything is realistic, whether easy to watch or not. Pryor, in his directorial debut, has placed much of himself into Dancer's character for the audience to judge.

"It's a long way from Miami." It's a long way from being a good film, too. If the filmmakers are trying to say this film is rougher and tougher and better than Miami Vice, then they are deluding themselves. This film is different from Vice because, beinc a film, it can get away with gratuitous use of female anatomy. It does. It can also show more blood than a TV show, and does it ever. The stories arc so trite and overused that one wonders why the filmmakers bothered. One part of the plot has Carrie Fisher playing the female cop trying to prove herself to two male partners.

NO EXPIRATION ru/A / I lywood Vice' Another part of the plot shows a loving mother searching for her runaway daughter, who, of course, has become a drug addict and hooker and is the hottest pro on the street. Frank Gorshin olays the* pimp. He must have gone home every night with a bad taste in his mouth from all the profanity he is forced to utter by this utterly mundane script. Fisher is a better actress than this role shows. She should choose her roles more carefully. If you want to sec Miami Vice with bare breasts, then "Hollywood Vice Squad" is for you. Otherwise, stay home, tape some episodes of Vice and you'll have a little more substance, with a patented visual style that this film is sorely lacking. If anyone still earcs, the movie is playing at the Fox Theatre.
