#EDDIE MURPHY RAW TRANSCRIPT MOVIE#

Murphy's performances as a conman-turned-Congressman in political satire 'The Distinguished Gentleman' (1992) and bloodsucker Maximilian in horror comedy 'Vampire in Brooklyn' (1995) were met with both a commercial and critical shrug. After joining brother Charlie and comedy hero Richard Pryor in Prohibition-era 'Harlem Nights' (1989), Murphy appeared in sequel 'Another 48 Hrs' (1990) starred as a womanizing ad executive in 'Boomerang' (1992) and collaborated with Michael Jackson on third musical album Love's Alright.

Murphy first showcased his fondness for assuming multiple roles in the same movie in 'Coming to America' (1988), playing the prince of a fictional African country as well as a soul singer and barbershop owner. Murphy's winning streak continued with an entirely musical LP, How Could It Be, that spawned the No.2 US hit 'Party All the Time,' supernatural comedy 'The Golden Child' (1986) and the hugely successful 'Raw' (1987) a theatrically-released stand-up show filmed at Madison Square Garden. Following a temporary blip with the hastily assembled flop 'Best Defense' (1984), Murphy got his career back on track with the role of Detroit cop Axel Foley in 'Beverly Hills Cop' (1984), an action comedy which became the year's biggest box office hit and spawned two sequels of varying quality. A year later he joined fellow SNL alum Dan Aykroyd in the first of many John Landis collaborations, 'Trading Places' (1983) and filmed a famously profanity-laden HBO stand-up special, 'Delirious' (1983), that would also win a Grammy when released in album form. Murphy then graduated to the big screen in '48 Hrs' (1982), co-starring alongside Nick Nolte as ex-con Reggie Hammond in what's considered to be the genesis of the buddy cop comedy. He immediately became a household name in 1980 when he joined the cast of comic institution 'Saturday Night Live' (NBC, 1975-), boosting the show's flagging ratings with parodies of Fred Rogers, Gumby and The Little Rascals' Buckwheat. Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1961, Eddie Murphy developed his distinctive sense of humor while spending a year in foster care with his older sibling Charlie and by his mid-teens had become a regular performer on his hometown's stand-up circuit. Renowned for his motormouthed delivery, profanity-laden stage persona and ability to play numerous characters in the same film, Eddie Murphy helped revive the fortunes of 'Saturday Night Live' (NBC, 1975-) before achieving movie superstardom with leading roles in 'Beverly Hills Cop' (1984), 'Coming to America' (1988) and 'The Nutty Professor' (1996).
