For those who don't want to read the article. David Spade joked that if people wanted to see a falling star go see Eddie Murphy in "Vampire in Brooklyn" movie in 1995.
Personally I'd say Harlem Nights (1989) is when that star started to fall and that's a fine film by itself. Just a very different take on characters Eddie had played prior and so it didn't get the draw that people thought it would with him and Richard Pryor (And Redd Foxx) being in it.
If anything that would be the juggernaut to say was racist in its inability to get the money it should have but I guess David Spade (Whoever that is) is one of the many who didn't see it.
It's sad to see that Eddie would be pissed off at something as silly as an attack on when his career took a turn. Must be the PR spin for the new Beverly Hills cop thing which is bound to be a huge success.
Pluto Nash was a career killer years later. No matter what you thought about Eddie Murphy by then, that film was a dumpster fire that was riddled with production problems, budget concerns, and regret from everyone involved.
