Heard this week, "Ever since Coming to America I've loved everything that Eddie Murphy has done."*
Let's have a look at that corpus:
Daddy Day Camp (2005) (announced) .... Charlie Hinton
Shrek 2 (2004) (voice) .... Donkey
Haunted Mansion, The (2003)
Shrek 4-D (2003) (voice)
Daddy Day Care (2003)
I Spy (2002)
Adventures of Pluto Nash, The (2002)
Showtime (2002)
Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)
Shrek (2001) (voice) Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000)
"PJs, The" (1999)
Bowfinger (1999)
Life (1999) Holy Man (1998) Doctor Dolittle (1998) Mulan (1998) (voice)
Metro (1997)
Nutty Professor, The (1996)
Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)
Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)
Dangerous: The Short Films (1993) (V) .... Pharaoh ('Remember The Time' video)
Distinguished Gentleman, The (1992)
Boomerang (1992)
Another 48 Hrs.
Harlem Nights (1989)
What's Alan Watching? (1989)
Coming to America (1988)
My word, what a body of work that is. Being generous but not including voiceovers, there is perhaps one worthwhile performance there - The Nutty Professor. I can just about accept someone liking that. But the others... has any actor in history ever had such a remarkable run? Glad I looked it up, there were a few peaches slipping off my shit film radar: Life; Haunted Mansion; I mother-fucking Spy...
*Obviously he can't like them that much as I had to provide the names of Showtime and the execrable Bowfinger.
