EDDIE MURPHY RAW

Uncensored. Uncut. Irresistible. EDDIE MURPHY RAW, the record-setting, highest-grossing stand-up film of all time, is Eddie Murphy doing what he does best: making people laugh. In the special, filmed live at New York’s Felt Forum in 1987, Murphy delights, shocks and entertains with dead-on celebrity impersonations; observations on ‘80s love, sex and marriage; a remembrance of his mother’s hamburgers; and much more. An incredible time capsule of Murphy at the height of his comedic powers, the film was crafted by an all-star team of talent, with actor-turned-filmmaker Robert Townsend directing, joined by cinematographer and Spike Lee–collaborator Ernest Dickerson, plus a cold open written by Keenen Ivory Wayans and Murphy.
