Eddie Murphy to go back to stand-up

Scene from Eddie Murphy to go back to stand-up

Eddie Murphy is throwing in the Hollywood towel, announcing he'll be going back to the stage and doing stand-up comedy.

"Thirty years and I have close to 50 movies and it is like, 'why am I in the movies?'" said Murphy. "I've done that part now. I'll go back to the stage and do stand-up."

However, the "Meet Dave" star is still keen to do a fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" film, despite the third movie being a flop.

"The third one was horrible, so I didn't want to do another one," Murphy said. "[It] wasn't ready to be done and they wrote some s**t down on paper and I said, 'Is this your phone number?' and they said, 'This is how much we're going to pay you.' I said, 'Let's go shoot it! I don't care if the script ain't right.'"
