	Eddie Murphy Raw (1987) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Raw is funny at times, but the pacing was off.
		Eddie seems tired in his delivery, and the camera work was a bit shoddy.
		Part of Eddie's genius is how he uses his whole body to convey his comedy, and the camera robs us of this performance by only showing him from his chest and up.

	EDDIE MURPHY RAW - DVD
		The message is clear: Murphy had become myth, one of the biggest box-office draws in the world, with the faith of the audience in his pocket--and 1987 was the time to capitalize on it.
		Murphy is so obsessed with the subject, in fact, that he kills almost an hour in order to vent his spleen.
		The crucial factor that distinguishes Murphy from Richard Pryor, the comic to whom he seemed the heir apparent, is that Pryor made himself vulnerable to the audience, revealing his foibles as well as his fears, while Murphy is bulletproof and without sin.

	Eddie Murphy: Raw
		Decades ago, Eddie Murphy’s successful standup act earned him a Grammy for “Comedian” (culled from “Delirious,” a smash special endlessly rerun on HBO and a huge video hit), and prompted high hopes for his film “Raw.” Hollywood’s wonder boy was in the midst of his glory years.
		Murphy would soon retreat from fame, fans and the public eye, preferring instead to stay within a close-knit circle of family and friends.
		Although “Raw” debuted at #1 at the box office during the holiday season and would go on to become the highest-grossing film of its genre, it would be the third straight Murphy effort to make lots of dough and get critically panned.

	Eddie Murphy: Raw (1987)
		Raw, the #1 concert film of all time, is Eddie Murphy doing what he does best: making people laugh.
		Raw went for a restricted palette, as mostly we only saw the purple-blue of Murphy’s outfit and the velvet curtains behind him on stage.
		Murphy’s lines were reasonably natural but they could come across as a little reedy at times.

		From his legendary characters on “Saturday Night Live” to his outrageous comedy specials, Eddie Murphy is probably one of the most recognizable comedians of his generation.
		By the time he turned 18, Eddie was already a headlining act on the comedy circuit, so it’s not very surprising that “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels was so quick to bring in the rising talent at such a young age.
		Eddie's career has been one of the biggest rollercoaster rides of just about any stand-up comedian looking to break in to acting.

	Eddie Murphy Raw DVD Review (Eddie Murphy) Empire Movies
		During my teenage years, Eddie Murphy's stand up video, Delirious, was one of the most popular comedy routines that was out there.
		Nevertheless, Raw is probably worth checking out if you are a huge fan of stand-up routines or for the handful of Eddie Murphy fans that are still alive out there.
		And as I said earlier, this is not the Eddie Murphy that has starred in movies such as Dr. Dolittle and The Nutty Professor.

	Eddie Murphy Raw (1987): Eddie Murphy - PopMatters Film Review
		Eddie Murphy Raw, a 1987 concert film featuring the comic at one of his popular peaks, shows him at a crossroads.
		Possibility is the key here: Murphy doesn't seem to be referring to any specific relationship experience of his; rather, the mere idea that a woman could take money from him in a divorce settlement fills him with rage.
		This is where Murphy approaches the storytelling skills of Pryor and Cosby, mixed with a sketch comedian's gonzo willingness to take a joke to its surreal extremes.

	dOc DVD Review: Eddie Murphy Raw (1987)
		Murphy himself seems to have trouble with the distinction, and has even attempted to whitewash his past, barring the re-release of his first hit special, Delirious.
		Murphy seems angry at his family, angry at fellow comedians (including Bill Cosby, who gets mocked ruthlessly because he had the gall to criticize Murphy for using too much profanity in his routine), and, most of all, angry at women.
		I didn't know she was a 'he.'"), Murphy's ego was out of control, and this program captures him at the height of hubris.

	Eddie Murphy Raw DVD Review
		There are few comics that can make a feature film of their stand-up comedy act and pull in the kind of crossover audience that Eddie Murphy managed to grab when his concert film “Eddie Murphy Raw” was released in theaters back in 1987.
		It may not have been the kind of box office hit that Murphy would make in the 1980s, but his team up with Steve Martin in “Bowfinger” was in my opinion some of his best onscreen work in years.
		Murphy may not be the same man he was in 1987, but that certainly does not mean that he has lost any of his talent.

	DVDown Under REVIEW - Eddie Murphy - RAW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Anyone who is a fan of Eddie Murphy's stand-up comedy only knows too well hard difficult it is to get hold of a copy of his best and most sort after live performance, Delirious.
		While RAW doesn't come as close to the shocking hard edged humour of Delirious, it does manage to deliver brief moments of inspired hilarity, some of which are channelled directly from the spirit of his superior stand-up outing.
		This time around, RAW, shot in 1987, is more of a look back the 80's as Eddie primarily tackles promiscuity, marriage, divorce and women's liberation, with a few nice splashes of his home life as a kid thrown in for good measure.

		At the time of Raw's release, many hands were wrung in the analysis of Murphy's material as inherently racist, homophobic, and sexist.
		The greatest part of raw is the ending where eddie impersonates his father's misfortunes involving the kalico toy factory.
		I am the biggest fan of Eddie Murphy, and although many argue that Raw is not up to par with Delirious, I have a deep deep fondness for Raw.

	Eddie Murphy: Raw \| Retro Junk
		T is confused by Murphy's verbal slight-of-hand; and even paragon of calm Bill Cosby loses his cool while chastising the comic for his dirty mouth.
		After some digressions finding humor in racial differences and other matters, Murphy proceeds into the centerpiece of his act, a series of routines about contemporary relationships between men and women, including an extended bit about what life would be like were he to become married — jokes that some have criticized as heavily misogynist.
		Finally, Murphy concludes his set with an extended, comedic but sympathetic reminiscence about his childhood and family life, a tone that matches that of the film's prologue — a fictional re-creation of Murphy, in his childhood, entertaining a family gathering with what turns out to be an inappropriately off-color joke.

	Eddie Murphy Raw
		The audacious concert film Eddie Murphy Raw rubbed some people the wrong way upon its release in 1987, but there's no denying that between Murphy's more insensitive bits about women and gay men is some of his most inspired material.
		The best stuff comes deep into the show, particularly a long tale of being pressured into a fight at a club, resulting in a phone call to Murphy's drunk father, the latter in the middle of a verbal attack on his wife.
		The scene is genuinely horrifying and funny, testament to Murphy's early reputation as heir to Richard Pryor's mercilessly autobiographical brilliance.

		Filmed at the height of Eddie's status as the world's biggest film star (while on contract with Paramount), "Raw" is an hour and a half of hysterical impersonations and skits.
		Raw in my opinion is one of the most important stand up performances of the 20th century as it picked up where Richard Pryor left off!

	AMCTV.com SHOW - Eddie Murphy Raw
		Unbound by network TV censors, former "Saturday Night Live" regular Eddie Murphy does a profanely funny stand-up routine before a sold-out audience at New York's Felt Forum in this comedy concert film.
		The movie begins with a tongue-in-cheek flashback that shows Little Eddie shocking a family Christmas gathering back in 1968 with a gross-out joke.
		After that, however, it's strictly a one-man show, as Murphy storms through an R-rated monologue while a guffawing audience roars its approval.

	Eddie Murphy Raw at NoFace for Film
		In Raw, Murphy is at his comedic finest.
		Wearing a godawful purple leather jacket with a pair of matching tight purple leather pants, Murphy covers a range of topics from the consequences of not signing a prenuptial agreement; cheating in relationships; Bill Cosby’s discomfort with Murphy’s use of profanity during his routines; and the pumped-up ego that befalls Italian-Americans after watching Rocky.
		But then you have to consider that Murphy (and Richard Pryor before him) were the pioneers of this kind of humor, and without Murphy’s unapologetic candor and use of profanity on stage, we wouldn’t have young comedians like Rock and Chappelle.
