Movie Reviews of Eddie Murphy - Delirious
Movie Review: Eddie Murphy's Glory Days
Summary: 5 Stars
This was Eddie Murphy back in the days, before all that family-friendly crap. This classic 70-minute stand-up comedy is full of insane profanity, and lots of politically incorrect Richard Pryor-like craziness! Some of my favorite segments here are Murphy's impersonations of James Brown (who DOESN'T love that one?!), Michael Jackson, and Elvis. And then there's the segments including world language and the Family Cookout and the Ice Cream: that's good stuff right here! This is the classic Eddie, and I don't think we'll ever see and hear this sort of stuff from the man again sadly due to Hollywood degradation. But we'll still have Delirious and Raw.
Summary of Eddie Murphy - Delirious
Eddie Murphy's raunchy raucous stand-up comedy routine is captured for posterity on this tape. Not for folks who dislike foul language. System Requirements:Run Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?R UPC:?013137007392 Manufacturer No:?DV70073Light years before political correctness--1983 to be exact--or his comeback in tame Disney comedies, Eddie Murphy was a charismatic, wonderfully offensive, egocentric 22-year-old black comedian known for crude celebrity impersonations and often shockingly frank diatribes on racial and sexual politics. Dressed in a skin-tight red leather suit and delivering endless streams of obscenities faster than Richard Pryor ever did, Murphy is captured in this raunchy HBO special (a filmed document of his Grammy-winning album, Eddie Murphy, Comedian) at his confident, swaggering, comedic peak--a posture that soon disappeared after a string of bland Hollywood comedies. Here, however, his energy and sheer virtuosity command complete control over the audience for 107 minutes, whether he's mocking personalities like Elvis, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder, or spinning long, gag-filled personal anecdotes about the ice-cream man or dysfunctional family barbecues. There's no apologizing for the immature stereotyping, blatant homophobia, and sexism (though Murphy did so several years later) that surface during the routine. But, then again, unlike his much nastier, one-sided concert film, Raw, no topic here is safe from Murphy's uproarious tongue-lashings--including the comedian himself. --Dave McCoy
