When did Eddie Murphy fall off? And why?

[invalid]

only to be derailed by Mr. Church and Coming 2 America.

Some people think that movie is a cult classic.

Bowfinger still to this day cracks me up. Eddie and Steve Martin should've done another movie together

That was low key one of his best movies

When he ran across the highway for the movie scene

He’s got three classics and i’d argue four with Life

U Buggin out.
Let's take Raw and Delirious out the question.

Trading Places
Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2
Golden Child
Coming To America
Harlem Nights
Boomerang
The Nutty Professor
Dr Doolitle
Life
Shrek
Eddie fell off when he started trying to be too family friendly.

Add Vampire in Brooklyn to that list. The 48 Hours movies are arguable.

 

[Edub]

Dreamgirls wasn't a hit because of him
He fell off HARD after Shrek

He was Oscar nominated for dream girls…fukk u mean, he was a part of what made it good

 

[Mystic]

He needs to smash another tranny to return to prime for

 

[Lord_nikon]

I say Dr. Dolittle 2 / 2001 / excluding all shrek movies

 

[VoxSphere74]

Stallone is old AF and expendables made millions
tom cruise is 125 yrs old and MI movies still bank
eddie isn't 60 yrs old

Yeah age isn't it. I think it might be that he never found a lane that worked that he stuck with.

Tom Hanks left comedy and went to drama and never really went back. Robin Williams did comedy and drama but could do it because he was gifted at drama and comedy.

Jim Carrey left comedy and went to drama and it was kind of uneven but he found a lane.

Mike Meyers was successful but outside of Austin Powers flopped and basically quit.

Eddie seems to be just ok at drama but great at comedy so he needed to find a lane but he seemed to be too all over the place.

 

[Sonny Bonds]

Was Metro any good?

 

[god shamgod]

You're crazy
Bowfinger was fire.

said no one ever

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

He's had several "fall offs" and bounces back... BUT.... I'd say his first one was around Vampire in Brooklyn.

Then bounced back with Nutty Professor (for families) and Life (for da nikkaz)

Then.... he was ice cold for years..

then a minor bounce back with that Heist movie/Showgirls... and then Dolemite

only to be derailed by Mr. Church and Coming 2 America.

As a Coming to America aficionado (I can recite the entire movie from beginning to end), I liked the second one. It was a fun movie.

Golden Child

It amazes me how people barely mention this classic.

This was one of my top movies back in the day

 

[born of fire]

i used to watch this movie over and over as kid... i scratched the dvd up with how many times i replayed it
