Dynamite Chicken is a 1972 film involving Richard Pryor, and partly funded by and featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It is a collection of subversive comedy sketches and routines relating to the peace movement. Many famous figures appear as themselves in the film, including Joan Baez, Lenny Bruce, Leonard Cohen, Allen Ginsberg, Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Malcolm X (from archival footage), Andy Warhol, and Yoko herself. The making of the film coincided with a period of excess and chaos in Pryor's life, and he appears noticeably strung out throughout.
