Vampire in Brooklyn:
Eddie Murphy stars in this underrated mix of bone-chilling horror and chill-out comedy directed by Wes Craven (Last House On The Left, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Scream). As the vampire Maximillian, Murphy is the most diabolical, dashing and definitely undead dude in the hood. To add to the macabre fun, Murphy morphs into two other must-see characters: a paunchy preacher and a fast talking thug. Angela Bassett plays the cop whose world is rocked by Maximillian's attempts to make her his mate for eternity. And Kadeem Hardison is the vampire's haplessly decaying sidekick. Brooklyn may be home to the undead now that Max is around - but that means it's livelier than ever!
Golden Child:
As 'The Chosen One', Eddie Murphy is on a madcap mission to save The Golden Child, a youth with mystical powers who's been abducted by an evil cult. He battles a band of super-nasties, scrambles through a booby-trapped chamber of horrors and traverses Tibet to obtain a sacred dagger. But it's Murphy's wit that turns out to be his sharpest weapon in this 24-karat comedy adventure.
Harlem Nights:
Three generations of comedy legends star in this tale of nightclub owner Sugar Ray (Richard Pryor) and his son Quick (Eddie Murphy), who fight to keep a vicious mobster and a corrupt police force from putting them out of business. Written and directed by Murphy with an all-star supporting cast including Red Foxx, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Jasmine Guy and Danny Aiello, Harlem Nights is an action-packed comedy treasure.
Best Defense:
Wylie is a lazy engineer. Landry is a Sergeant specialising in Armour. They have never met but their lives become entangled when Landry must take the tank Wylie designed into combat. Wylie is waiting for his employer to go out of business when he meets another engineer who gives him a disk with the plans for a system that will save his employer. The other engineer is dead moments later leaving Wylie with the disk and credit for the design. Suddenly Wylie is no longer a hack, but the saviour of his company and finds his life is no longer the same.
Boomerang:
Marcus is a successful advertising executive who woos and beds women almost at will. After a company merger he finds that his new boss, the ravishing Jacqueline, is treating him in exactly the same way. Completely traumatised by this, his work goes badly downhill. But then Jacqueline's more quietly attractive assistant Angela, who has been dating Marcus' best friend, shows herself more than a little concerned by his parlous state.
48 Hours:
The boys are back in town. Nick Nolte is a cop. Eddie Murphy is a convict. They couldn't have liked each other less. They couldn't have needed each other more. And the last place they ever expected to be is on the same side. Even for... 48 HRS.
Another 48 Hours:
Here they go again. Only faster. And tougher. Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) and Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) return in the smash sequel to Walter Hill's original 48 Hours.
How much better is it? For starters, the mob puts a price on Reggie's head. The bus transporting him from the pen flips over about 17 times. His prized Porsche is blown into scrap metal. Creeps in a bar still haven't learned it's dumb to get Reggie mad. And the night is still young. Before these 48 hours are up, Reggie and Jack will turn San Francisco inside out to nail an elusive druglord. The boys are back in town... and the action's on the streets. Don't miss it!
Coming to America:
Eddie Murphy is a king of comedy and in John Landis' Coming To America, Murphy is also the Prince of Comedy - a very wealthy and pampered African prince who comes to America in search of a bride. Accompanied by his closest companion (Arsenio Hall), Murphy quickly finds a job, new friends, new digs, new enemies - and lots of trouble. Keep an eye out for both Murphy and Hall in some unforgettable cameo roles!
Trading Places:
Eddie Murphy established himself as a comedy superstar in his role as streetwise hustler Billy Ray Valentine in Trading Places. Fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Dan Aykroyd co-stars as Louis Winthorpe III, a wealthy investment executive at Duke Brothers, a Wall Street firm. The fun begins when the rich and greedy Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) wager a bet over whether born loser Valentine could become as successful as the priggish Winthorpe if circumstances are reversed. The Dukes have the money to make this happen, but when Valentine and Winthorpe catch on they arrange for a rich and riotous payback! John Landis' classic movie recalls the screwball comedies of Capra, Hawks and Preston Sturges, and also gives memorable roles to Jamie Lee Curtis and Denholm Elliott.
