Eddie Murphy - Raw/Delirious
Hello all.
Does anybody know if Eddie Murphy Raw and Eddie Murphy Delirious will be released on DVD?
It seems like all other Eddie Murphy films have been released on DVD now. Surely, there must be a plan to release these as well. At least, let's hope so.

It seems from previous threads discussing this subject that both are out of print in an attempt to preserve Eddie Murphy's marketability in family comedies such as Doctor Doolittle and Daddy Daycare. Personally, I would totally spring for a double-feature DVD with these titles on them.

I would also buy these...in a heartbeat... so much better than the kiddie fare he's cranking out now... Does Paramount still own these?? (Because they aren't releasing the kiddie friendly Eddie flicks, so what the **** do they care... release them!!!!)

paramount should also work on SE's of:
Coming to america, Trading places & 48hrs.
Best defense isn't on dvd.
--wait, that might not be such a terrible thing
Maybe we can petition paramount for these releases, or at least offer to trade in vampire in brooklyn for them.

Eddie really needs to wake up look in the mirror and realize the public doesnt like Kiddy eddie murphy. They like the raw dirty eddie. And then crawl out of the shells hes been in for the last 10 years. I really wish each day he hadn't got caught with that tranvestite and we wouldnt be having this conversation right now.

Raw has been on DirecTvs HD Movie station the last 3 months. It looks very nice (1:85:1) & had a decent 5.1 track too (just laughing in the rears). So they do have a widescreen, 5.1 HD master of it. They just showed the Cosby/Pottier movie- either Uptown Saturday Night or Let's Do It Again- and that was just announced as coming out in a few months, so maybe Raw will be soon. I must say though, that Raw wasn't quite as funny now as it was then.

Yep I'm all for the very unlikely SE of Coming To America. It's my all time favorite movie and I'd love to see a commentary, anamorphic transfer, and maybe some deleted scenes or documentries. But I know this will never happen.

By the way, there is a LARGE group of the population that appreciates Eddie's newer "kiddie" stuff more than what he used to do . . . not neccessarily us, mind you, but I believe that he has been quoted a saying that he got into a more children focused mode when he started thinking about his own kids. Kind of admirable really . . . but it still sucks for everybody who lliked his old stuff . . .

I think what Eddie is doing now is great... but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't buy Raw or Delerious... Those were pretty funny and would definitely be worthy of shelf space in my DVD library.

First of all, I seem to remember hearing that Eddie apologized for at least one of these movies, and I tend to think he wants to put this part of his life behind him. Who can blame him? I seem to remember him referring to women kissing their gay friends and "going home with the AIDS on their lips." Try submitting that one to the "memorable quotes" section at IMDB. That's just a startlingly dangerous, ignorant thing to say. In fact, one can only hope that Raw now stands as a document to express how far we've come in this country with respect to public opinion on gays and AIDS. Funny? In parts. Ugly? Definitely.
Second of all, the numbers clearly show that the public does like Kiddy eddie murphy.
Check out Box Office Mojo.
Shrek grossed $267,665,011.
The Nutty Professor grossed $128,814,019.
Dr. Dolittle grossed $144,156,464.
The Nutty Professor II grossed $$123,307,945.
Dr. Dolittle II grossed $$112,952,899.
Mulan grossed $120,620,254.
Sure, Beverly Hills Cop grossed $234,760,478, but Beverly Hills Cop III grossed $42,614,912.
Showtime? $38,082,712.
I Spy? $33,561,137.
I shouldn't even have to mention The Adventures of Pluto Nash...

1. I don't think people take health tips from "Raw"
2. It's comedy.
3. So what do you suggest...censorship?
OK, kiddy Murphy is popular too...but the fact is that Raw and particularly Delerious are benchmark stand-up routines. It's funny because he's talented, it's also funny because he's edgy and dangerous. Comedy has a long tradition of pushing boundries of taste and propriety (Pryor did an album called "SuperN----r" fer crissake). That's what makes it so good.
To bring it back to "DVD Talk"- I would buy these in a heartbeat.
