The third one was horrible [Beverly Hills Cop 3], so I didn’t want to do another one. The producers 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 isn’t right.’

Eddie Murphy

So that’s how he picks his films! It all makes sense now. The good news in the article is that he hints at getting back into stand-up. Now THAT might actually be funny.
