This is such a brilliant movie. Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorsese are legends.

Who else came here after the joker trailer but knew there was going to be a comment about who else came after the joker trailer

Fun fact:Years later after this movie got released,Joaquin Phoenix became the new Rupert Pupkin and Robert De Niro became the new Jerry Langford!

I'm glad that 30 years later Rupert get his own show in tv

"Better to be king for a night, than schmuck for a lifetime."

Who's here after watching the joker movie trailer?

I'm always amazed how many people haven't even heard of this film, more so when you tell them it's one of De'Niros best performances ever..................

Scorsese's most misunderstood film, which is ironic in contrast to the film itself. It's nothing comical, it really does dig deep in the depths of the isolated desperate minds we so often walk past by, and even find ourselves in.

one of the most underrated movies going around

I can’t stop laughing at Jerry Lewis shaking Robert Deniro’s head!! Amazing!!

It took Joker in 2019 to get this movie on the surface again. Got to love Scorsese!

No one: KZfaq Algorithm: So, you gonna watch Joker?

One of the most underrated masterpieces of all time!

Very underrated - probably DeNiro's best performance and that's saying a lot.

I fell in love with this movie the day I stumbled upon it. So much that I watched it again a few hours after the first viewing.... I'm weird like that but that was the first movie that made me want to watch it again so badly. I loved how Joker referenced and interpreted it as well. What I liked in both movies was the psychological descent of their main characters such as the fantasised events blending into reality to mess with the viewer's head and the point of no return when the characters 'snap'. Rupert is trapped inside of his fantasy world where he is at his happiest despite everyone telling him that he is crazy. Arthur on the other hand is a more disturbed individual with a mind that's impossible to mend. He pretty much starts at 100 and is at 1000 by the end.

Someone should make a Joker film like this.

Scorsese was to have been one of the Executive producers for the Joker movie but pulled out because of his work with the Irishman

Who else is going to watch this movie 37 years after its release because they just watched the Joker movie?

By the way, this is one of the film's charms; not having a happy ending. Briliant picture with so much lessons about the whole entertainment industry, celeb stalking, the ideas of a world we paint inside our minds where everything is positive and always at our favor, in total shock with reality. Amazing. And bottom line: Love the girls who play Marsha and Rita.

I find similarities with the new Joker 2019 Movie.

Watched this for the first time yesterday. It was fantastic. In my opinion probably Scorseses best movie.

RIP Jerry Lewis.

My favourite De Niro movie. I've watched this so many times.

New Joker movie has credited this movie as the inspiration, and i wishes for a magnificent tribute and a honorable homage.

I watched this entire movie amazed that Mick Jagger was in this film and then I realized at the end that it was actually Sandra Bernhard.

Just saw it for the first time yesterday, the scene where Masha chases Jerry Lewis into the building is one of the funniest things i've ever seen. Dude is definitely one of the funniest human beings that ever lived.

i love this movie, but this trailer doesn't do it justice whatsoever

I love the main jazz interlude, sums up Eighties late night shows in a few bars of music

This should be a trailer looks like, not the ones that are today which summarizes the plot.

JOKER brought Me Here

One of my favorite De Niro performances, and favorite Jerry Lewis performance of the last 40 years of his career!

Rupert Pupkin - arguably more terrifying than Travis Bickle. Best thing Scorsese ever did.

This is the movie that The Joker ripped off

I've seriously never seen this! Def going to watch now!!!!

Ever since I saw A Bronx Tale, I decided to watch every great movie Robert De Niro's been in and it always coincides with Martin Scorsese having directed the film :P

Just snagged the Blu Ray at the 99 Cents Only Store for $1.99. It has a 30 minute Tribeca Interview with Scorcese, Deniro and Lewis as a bonus.

This Joker trailer looks amazing!

Very nice movie, love the way De Niro fantasys in the start, about Jerry adoring his work. Nice ending to, Rupert never gave up, he got famous one way or the other:)

Finally people are giving attention to this film which deserves it

Rest In Peace , *MURRAY FRANKLIN*

The King of Comedy, released in 1982, is a truly fantastic movie! Robert De Niro's performance is captivating as he relentlessly pursues his ambitions. The 1980s ambiance of New York City adds an irresistible allure, reminding us of the changes over time. It was also a treat to see Bob include his real-life wife, Diahnne Abbott, in some scenes.

I'm getting this from Netflix this week, I've been waiting the last two years for the next Martin Scorsese picture ("Shutter Island" which come out this friday!). ; ) I possess more and more of an interest in seeing more of Scorsese's work particularly in the 1980s (his most experimental work technically and subjectively). I also want to see "THe Last Temptation of Christ".

Caught the end of this and it was awesome. Now I gotta watch it all

Scorsese got more out of DeNiro in this film than any of their other collaborations. The film was seminal, not easy to access, and remains a high point in black humor cinema.

Loved it!

@MyManD On my Dvd the date is 1982 as well on IMDB . As you said , "it switches between 1982 and 1983" . It's true , for exemple , on the site : the 80's movies rewind , the date is 83 .

really underrated

Wish trailers were still like this; not showing the whole movie in two minutes.

Oh yeah, & Directed by 1 of my favorite movie directors Martin Scorsese.

@repo136 I can watch this movie over and over again...it's a masterpiece, hands down!!!

The King of Acting. And this is an eksampel. Great everything. Also one of Edward Nortons favorit movies.

Reminds me of the Joker

What a great trailer leaves you wanting more

It came out in theaters in 82 and VHS in 83 :P

nice work

One of his best roles.

This is a masterpiece

It’s annoying that this movie hasn’t got its due until a joker movie heavily influenced by it is released

Just saw "Joker". Great movie, quite a connection with "The King Of Comedy"!

Excellent trailer. Excellent film.

Back when trailers spoiled nothing.

One off the best movies of mr de niro

from taxi driver to this, he looks really old and its just like 8 years apart

Heard about this from the Howard Stern show--he evidently had a nut named Sal working for him who reminded him of the nut in this movie

what a great film. Thanks for posting the trailer. But where's Sandra Bernhard!?

Trailer must be stylish like this.

Why his voice sounds like Robert Downey Jr😂 the guy who is in the car with Robert de Niro

Is there a full version of The Jerry Langford Show theme available anywhere?

@WorleyClarence Sure it counts, but I think (my personal opinion) that a movie is generally regarded as coming "from" the year it's released wide in the country of its origin. Go to most any movie listing on IMDB or Wikipedia, and it'll show a movie's origin year according it its release in its originating country. PS. I say "most", because in The King of Comedy's case, it switches between 1982 and 1983, though 1983 is the predominant year on most listings, be it DVD or movie listings site.

Excellent, but forgotten, film. I also don't think it's any coincidence that many years after this film, Robert de Niro plays a talkshow host who, himself, is being stalked by a failed comedian, who also forces the host into a big break; in Joker. Sure, the outcome is a bit different, but there are many similarities. Still, I think casting de Niro was done deliberately as a callback.

Is this movie any good? massive fan of all of scorsese's work except for mean streets which was pretty slow

Worth your time if you haven't seen it before. Also Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio & The Clash are in this movie.

A hard film to like and a hard film to hate. It proves on thing, comedy is hard!!

Me and my dad's favorite movie when I saw the Joker trailer I was like this a semi remake of King of Comedy

David Lynch + Kyle MacLachlan Tim Burton + Johnny Depp Ti West + Mia Goth Martin Scorsese + Robert DeNiro Matches made in Film Heaven

I love old movies, it looks like I need to see this.

Back when trailers didn't give anything away.

Watched it when I was 12 didn't get it. Watched it recently Scorcesse is a genius.

10yrs later cracking up by lewis is the funny film ever😂

yes

Reminds me a little of One Hour Photo.

somebody please tell me where i can find this streaming. it looks amazing!

"AH hahahahahaha, that's terrific, that's terrific."

I assume this popped into my recommendations because of JOKER movie?

This is a great film. It is so creepy and awkward. But that is what makes it so wonderful.

Quem diria, Robert De Niro e Scorsese juntos novamente em Joker...

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

just watched the JOKER movie. simply stunning. watching this and the taxi driver next.

Wow, both of my favorite acting legends in the same fucking movie. Jerry, & Robert. Never thought about them both being in the same film.

JOKER = MIXTURE OF TAXI DRIVER AND KING OF COMEDY.

You can tell by this trailer that the studio didn't know what to do with the film so they buried it. It played on just over 100 screens in the U.S and made about $2M at the box office, despite costing $20M... a suprisingly big budget for the time. I hope the success of the Joker leads more people to discovering Rupert Pupkin.

At most three scenes, including one montage. Thank you KZfaq algorithm for showing me a trailer that doesn't show everything.

“I used to think my life was a tragedy...” “But now I realize....” “It’s a *comedy* ....”

Goat movie

Underrated movie..

This movie is like a Coen Brothers film.

This film, I think is a satire about people like the already established comedian played by Gerry Lewis who won't give another person a chance. It turns out that De Niro character in the film is a good comedian after all. It reminds me of people in my own life experience that have made it, become coveted and unwilling to let you get a foot in the door ...

Taxi driver + king of comedy = joker

I want to watch this movie so bad

I've yet to see this one, but I can't believe Scorcese and De Niro came out with this a year after doing Raging Bull!
