Eddie Murphy Names Two Of The 'Best Movies Of My Career' — And One That 'Sucked'

The "Beverly Hills Cop" actor reflects in a new Netflix documentary on the highs — and lows — of his era-defining career.

With a new documentary about his life making waves, Eddie Murphy is taking time to reflect on the highs ― and lows ― of his era-defining career.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote “Being Eddie,” Murphy spoke about his once-tumultuous relationship with director John Landis, who appears in the documentary.

The two men were seemingly adversaries for some time, with one altercation allegedly becoming violent. However, Murphy said it’s all in the past.

“That heat that I had with John Landis 35, 40 years ago, that’s so long ago,” the actor and comedian explained. “I love John, and he directed two of the best movies of my career — ‘Trading Places’ and ‘Coming to America.’ For years, we’ve had no heat whatsoever.”

To emphasize his point, he added: “We even did a movie after that shit. John Landis directed ‘Beverly Hills Cop III.’ The movie sucked, but we were buddies after.”
