Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Paramount added Murphy after 'Beverly Hills Cop' exploded, shooting new scenes without Moore present. The original cut tested so poorly they essentially made two different movies and stapled them together.
This disaster literally invented the 'Eddie Murphy clause'—contracts now specify stars can't be added to your movie without approval. You're welcome, Hollywood.
