Never knew until now that Eddie Murphy also played 'Lance Perkins'

I didn't even know that was Eddie Murphy, until I was watching this movie on HBO On Demand, about two months ago. Rick Baker did such an incredible job with the make-up and Murphy always does an uncanny job at his acting job.

This movie deserved to win the make-up Oscar.

I didnt realize it the first few times I watched it, but then I recognized the voice from his "Little Richard Simmons" sketch on SNL and thats when it hit me it was Eddie. Eddie can play so many different kinds of characters (remember when he played an old jewish guy in Coming to America?) its a shame they dont better utiliize his talents in all the movies hes been doing for the last 10 years or more.

@toddster87 Wait, what? You're kidding, right?

MIND BLOWN. I've seen this movie plenty of times and never even suspected it.

I never knew that guru's name i just assumed it was Simmons that played him

I use to own this town Now my life's been turned upside down Just a phase I'm going through

Didn't knew that either. I just found out today.

Really? You guys must be young then because back in 1996 when the trailer was shown they basically said it was eddie murphy playing all these roles with visuals obviously.

I remember Oprah couldn't believe it either.
