Sam Kinison Live! Synopsis & Summary

The late comedian Sam Kinison could never be accused of political correctness. Kinison's slash-and-burn style was calculated to anger and alienate at least half his audience--specifically the female half. The comedian's disciples insist that Kinison was a social satirist, and that the people who'd didn't like him simply didn't want to hear the truth about themselves. Decide for yourself by renting the 60-minute concert video Sam Kinison Live! (For our part, we agree that the man had enormous talent--but must he scream and rail so?) The tape is not rated, but should be kept as far from small children as possible. - Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
