It was entertaining. If it was a serious horror script and Eddie played his part the same it could have a good serious horror movie.Instead of a horror movie with dark comic overtones.


That would've been good too.

I liked the film as well Eddie was creepy as hell as the vampire. Personally, I thought it would have worked better as a straight horror film as opposed to a horror comedy but that's just me.

Yes.

I don’t entirely buy or understand the notion that Eddie Murphy’s drawing power dipped by the start of the ’90s in part because he started making movies w/ predominately black casts like Harlem Nights, Boomerang, and Vampire in Brooklyn because the last time that I checked, Coming to America had a mostly black cast and it still grossed nearly $130 million at the US box office (against a $39 million budget).

Then again, there was a change in attitude between Coming to America and Harlem Nights. Or at least a perceived change. In Coming to America, he’s a sweet, lovable guy. In Boomerang and Harlem Nights, he comes across much more full of himself. And he was coming across that way off-screen too with his huge entourage.

Coming to America was a John Landis movie. It felt like a follow-up to Trading Places, so mainstream audiences came along for the ride with no real thought to the racial make-up of the cast. Boomerang and Harlem Nights had a different vibe. So did Murphy. It seemed like success had gone to his head. A lot of people were waiting for Murphy to fail by that point and a vanity project like Harlem Nights was the perfect opportunity to make that happen.

Also, Coming to America is a funny movie. It succeeds on its own merits whereas Harlem Nights arguably fails.

That movie was a piece of *beep* Murphy wasn't likeable in it.
