[@TheMtVernonKid]

You my dear. Are the first reactor I have seen on KZbin react to this movie of all of Eddie Murphy's movies. Everyone reacts to beverly hills cop, forty-eight hours trade in places, Coming to America, but a lot of people tend to forget about there were other great 80s. Movies, Eddie was in like the golden child. This movie so many, so you have the first I've seen personally for me. I've seen react to this. Thank you for doing this. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Is one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies I love it. The WHO's who of comedy legends that was in this movie was great. A lot of them have passed, but the fact of the matter is eddie was able to assemble a great amount of comedy talent this movie

[@vincentsweargen8436]

Eddie Murphy wrote this because he wanted to work with his idols, Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor. Redd Foxx and Della Reese's on-screen chemistry was so good that they has a TV show for short while. Redd Foxx, ironically, died of a heart attack. Eddie and Charlie's uncle, Ray Murphy, was the guy with Robin Harris. Sunshine, Lela Rochon, is married to Anton Fuqua. He's directed quite a few Denzel Washington movies.

[@firedoc5]

You know they had a blast making this movie, and had to almost broken records for all the takes they had to make. That fight between Eddie and Della's characters, classic. Some of the Creole gals around her will definitely make you sit up and take notice with their dark eyes and darker hair, and flawless skin.

The closest that Eddie played a bad guy was Vampire in Brooklyn where he’s the vampire. It came out in 1995 and it was directed by Wes Craven. It was written by Eddie and his brother Charlie Murphy. The guy Tommy is Tommy from the tv show Martin. The Juawanna Man guy name is actor Miguel Nunez.

"So, where you wanna go, Pop?" "I don't know, Son. But we got a tank full of gas and a trunk full of money." "That sounds like a sweet combination." "Sweet as sugar." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Nona Gaye. One And Done Fact: Theatrical directorial movie debut of Eddie Murphy ...and his last. Count It Out Fact: "Fuck" and its various derivatives are spoken 133 times throughout the movie. Location Location Fact: Despite being set in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, the entire film is shot in Los Angeles. The Rest Of The Story Fact: Eddie Murphy once said that the jokes and camaraderie between him, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Robin Harris, and Della Reese behind the scenes were much funnier than anything that was in the film. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Quick (Eddie Murphy) drives a 1939 LaSalle Coupe. Phil Cantone (Danny Aiello) rides in a 1938 Packard Eight Formal Town Car with body by Rollston. At the end of the movie they leave in a 1938 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Limousine. Art Imitates Life Fact: The story of Irish mobster Bugsy Calhoune (Michael Lerner) trying to take over Sugar Ray's (Richard Pryor) night club in order to control black Harlem is loosely inspired by the real-life feud between Jewish gangster Dutch Schultz and black gangster Bumpy Johnson over control of Harlem's lucrative "numbers" gambling rackets in the mid 1930s.

@Tara the sheer amount of black talent in this film i unheard of. Eddie has said a few times he wished Richard was more friendly but saw Eddie as a rival as his illness would soon take over, and Richard was a beloved role model. Plus you have Red Foxx Della Reese and so many other major comic talent. Tho a average film at best there are some real moments of heart and pathos. The chemistry between Della and Eddie Murphy is smile inducing. This has always been a beloved guilty pleasure. It was a treat to finally see it. Have a lovely holiday with the family.
