Storyline
After achieving fame with Saturday Night Live and Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy released a film version of one of his live stand-up performances. He mainly focuses on the topics of divorce and relations between the sexes, but also goes into some of the problems he's encountered because of fame, including offended listeners and fans who continually greet him with his unprintable catch phrases. —Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

- Quotes
Eddie Murphy: Richard said, "The next time the motherfucker call, tell him I said, "Suck *my* dick." I don't give a fuck. Whatever the fuck make the people laugh, say that shit. Do the people laugh when you say what you say?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you get paid?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Well, tell Bill I said have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up. Jello pudding-eating motherfucker."
- Alternate versionsWhen originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a '18' rating. All cuts were waived in 1988 when the film was granted a '18' certificate for home video.

very funny up until the last 25 minutes or so
eddie murphy raw is very funny to a point. The last 25 minutes are kind of dull, and not much, if any laughs. but it's pretty much a laugh riot up until the last 25 minutes or so. the funniest parts include the bill cosby, and richard pryor imitations, and the part about eddie wanting a mcdonald's hamburger as a kid. it lost so much momentum toward the end, but i still watch eddie murphy raw a lot to see the hilarious moments before. i give eddie murphy raw **1/2 out of ****
