Eddie Murphy reveals list of ‘worst movies' he's released
Eddie Murphy is about as candid as Hollywood stars come, with the actor name dropping the 'worst movies' he's featured in. The US blockbuster legend, 64, sat down for an interview for Complex's '360 With Speedy' series when he was asked to rank his top four best films. Advertisement With a stacked resume of beloved movies, Murphy flipped the question, saying it would be 'easier to name my four worst movies'. Without further ado, Murphy said 2002's 'The Adventures of Pluto Nash' was one of his biggest bombs. Indeed, the comedy sci-fi was not just one of Murphy's top failures, but one of the worst flops in cinema history, grossing $7 million worldwide against a production budget of approximately $100 million. 5 Eddie Murphy appears in a scene of 'The Adventures of Pluto Nash,' released in August 2002.
