Watching Vampire In Brooklyn (1995)| The Eddie Murphiverse was something else!

[@Jujuthecat]

I remember watching an Eddie Murphy interview where he said he didn’t love this movie. He originally wanted it to be a serious horror film but execs didn’t think a black lead in a horror would fill seats and they didn’t think people would take Eddie seriously since he had such a huge career in comedy. I wish we could have seen what Eddie had in mind

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I heard that too! And with Wes Craven directing, a thing Eddie could have absolutely pulled off a traditional horror film

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

This movie is more of a guility pleasure than a cult classic. Wes Craven used Def By Temptation as a vehicle for this movie due to Kadeem Hardison being in both movies.

Vampire In Brooklyn been getting a lot of love lately. It definitely deserves it. It was kinda ignored when it first came out because it wasn't the usual Eddie comedy people were expecting. Nice reaction.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Thank you!!! And I do feel like this movie did not get the love it deserved for how funny it is but I guess better late than never

6:12 flip floppity sh**!!! 😂😂😂😂

I keep saying this as I am looking to watch lol

[@davidferguson3031]

"Dracula: Dead and Loving it" is another funny vampire parody, if you like slapstick comedy like The Naked Gun movies. 😂

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I loooooove "Dracula: Dead and Loving it"! I have to add it to the watchlist for sure!

[@texvor6949]

If anything this was John Witherspoon's movie. He was the MVP of the movie no doubt as he did most of the comedy chops. Eddie doesn't get that much credit for that in his 90s films where in some of his films he gives most of the comedic lines to others while he plays the straight man. That to me is why i always rewatch Vampire In Brooklyn once in a while because of John. Rest In Power.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

If we're being honest, John Witherspoon stole the show in every movie he was in! He was such a comedic genius and I love that he received his flowers while he was still living

“This ain’t Nick Ashford baby” 😭. Kadeem Hardison was unserious as hell in this movie, but he was funniest character (to me) in the movie.

[@MGillDesign]

18:20 Kadeem's performance... very underrated this bleeding mouth ghoul... with body parts falling off... just cracking up on people all movie. and player h8ted on Justice... like it was nobody's business... "thought you was gonna get some as$ tonight..."

[@LordVolkov]

He's my favorite part! Julius falling apart is a riot, and I love the little pose he does when showing off his mannequin hand 🤣🤣🤣

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

He definitely had fun with this movie! I just adore him honestly! I hate that we never got a sequel with him and John Witherspoon. Even straight to DVD would have worked for me 😂

[@briandennis1474]

The restaurant scene if pure comedy gold. Looking forward to your watch!

[@texvor6949]

Wes craven foray into black horror was decent with this movie and The People Under The Stairs from 1990 which don't get much attention or reactions. Both are classic black horror movies and apparently people under the stairs indirectly inspired jordan peele to do Get Out the way he did.

[@texvor6949]

Now we know where Tyler Perry got the idea of doing everything himself, he saw eddie's name in most of the intro credits.

Better go to blockbuster, get yourself a video... Pizza place? Ain't no pizza place around here... you lyin mf i think this movie has become a cult classic.... i liked it at 15 (when it came out)... but it does get a lot of h8te, (mostly from non-blks...) but i can understand if you think it's ridiculous, too... cause it is... but in a good, fun, way...

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I hate the entire restaurant scene. I sit there like 😐 every time I watch this movie 🤷🏾‍♀️😂😂

[@MGillDesign]

@@SistaGurlonFilms i can deal without the restaurant part... but the other 2 scenes. where he sticks up Eddie Murphy and Murphy bites him... and the interrogation scene back at the police station, where they keep telling him to shut up. And he tells Justice (and Rita) some girl named Nikki told him she slept with a cop named Justice the other night.

[@Sidragrosm]

I'll never understand WHY this film was given so little credit - it was hilarious! Yes, I too, heard how Eddie wanted to go Hardcore as opposed to comedic; he has proven he can (ANYONE that's seen Dream Girls knows THAT!) but regardless, this..? Rocked!! It also remains One of the best sermons I've EVER heard!

[@jessediaz1293]

Wes Craven is credited as the director but as you saw in the opening credits, Eddie Murphy’s name shows up multiple times. I read that most of the production the actors and crew were taking direction from Eddie Murphy. This movie is basically directed by Eddie Murphy.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I feel like I saw that somewhere too! And Eddie was upset because he wanted more of a traditional horror while Wes wanted a horror comedy, so they butted heads a little bit

[@jessediaz1293]

@ yes Eddie did want do more serious stuff. He was in line or rumored to play the titular Candyman. I’m so happy he didn’t get the part because Tony Todd (RIP 🕊️) lived and breathed that character. Vampire In Brooklyn was sort of the halt in Eddie Murphy and Wes Craven’ career. After that movie both of them got revamped (😏) career wise. Eddie did Nutty Professor, his biggest hit of the 90s and Wes made Scream, sort of the movie that saved horror (at that time).

[@geminida1]

2:08 yes. Harlem Nights…oh man, as a proud uncle I put nieces and nephew on with the classics early, Harlem Nights, Coming to America, etc.

1:28 "Allen Ayne. he awright." 😆

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

😂😂 I've never been a big fan of him

[@LordVolkov]

While not great, I really enjoy Vampire in Brooklyn as a Blacula homage. There's some good jokes, especially from Kadeem Hardison and John Witherspoon, Angela Bassett is delicious, and Eddie is pretty solid (I don't mind the accent, he's not doing it too thick and even gives it a bit of an aristocratic lilt) even if his puns are terrible. It just makes me sad that Eddie did better whiteface in Coming To America 😅 The ashy goon stick-up is pretty cringe. The proto-Klump preacher fat suit is good though. Seems like Eddie enjoyed it enough to run it into the ground creatively 😅

[@texvor6949]

Its not a homage to Blacula. Not even close. If anything Vampire In Brooklyn is more of an adaption of the original Dracula story. As it shares key elements from that story. The ship that transports Dracula with most of the crew dead and a mysterious dog escaping the ship. The renfield character turned into a mad "ghoul" obsessed with eating insects. Dracula's search for his new bride whom he fallen for. And the love interest and van helsing character that stops him at the end.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

OMG!!! I am so happy that I am not the only one that feels this way about that Italian character!!! Eddie did it so much better in Coming to America! And the preacher absolutely had the Klump voice! I immediately thought about Nutty Professor when he first started talking lol

[@texvor6949]

@@SistaGurlonFilms Your right he is doing an African accent. Remember in the film it states that Max is originally from ancient eygpt where he said all vampires were from before they fled to the Caribbean or europe. Don't forget the coffin with the ancient eygptian symbols and the sand in the coffin when he was resting.
