Now she is probably wondering why I pick this one, but I think it fits! This 1989 comedy-drama starred Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, and other notables such as Danny Aiello, Redd Foxx, and Della Reese.
This is one of those movies that you either REALLY like or REALLY hate, there is really no in between. For the time period that it came out and the directing done by Eddie Murphy, it was a pretty decent job. Harlem Nights is a great that stars the funniest three black comics to ever grace a comdey stage. Eddie Murphy was pretty smart, and probably knew what he was doing when he decided to cast Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor and a host of other well-known comedians to fill the roles. Harlem Nights is one of those films that has great one-liners, plenty of action, and amusing fight scenes. Many have commented on the violence and profanities in this movie. But just think about the era that it took place in, it was only necessary. And the movie is still funny! And without a doubt the two most hilarious scenes are Eddie Murphy's fistfight with Della Reese, and his shootout with Arsenio Hall. (Still laughing to this day!!) Now the critics can say what they will about Eddie Murphy, but he still cracks you up!
Much to many surprise, Harlem Nights was a critical failure, but a financial success, grossing 3 1/2 times the amount it cost to make it (worldwide) and is well known for starring three generations of black comedians (Foxx, Pryor, and Murphy).
And for your entertainment....Priceless scenes...
This is probably one of the most funniest scenes...The Shootout!
