TV: Raw

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Eddie Murphy Raw

"Somebody told me that Mr. T was mad at me and I got worried. Then I thought, I've seen his movies and he don't seem too bright, so I'll use the old Jedi mind trick on him. So, I met him at a party and he said 'Hey boy, hear you been talkin' about me!' No, I haven't. 'Okay, you haven't been talkin' about me.'"

Review: This is a great stand-up performance by Eddie, but I always find the last 15-20 minutes of Eddie playing his drunk father on the phone a boring letdown for the end.

"Now I can't have no 'curse' show, I mean I gotta throw in a few jokes in between the curses, I can't come out and go "Hello! Filth flar'n filth, motherfucker, dick, pussy, snot, and shit. Good night!"

4 out of 5 Stars
