4. 48 Hours
When it comes to feature film debuts, Murphy couldn't have asked for a better one. In this Walter Hill-directed action/buddy comedy, Murphy plays a paroled criminal who is paired up with a hard-nosed detective in order to find a killer. Despite the obscure nature of the film (one of the earlier attempts to balance gritty, violent action with R-rated comedy) and the odd pairing of film's leads, 48 Hours works brilliantly. Without trying to short change the writing and directing talents of Walter Hill, the film's backbone is the chemistry between Nick Nolte and Murphy. Their banter is what keeps this briskly paced film engaging between all the gunplay, car chases, and explosions. 48 Hours is a fine, early 80s popcorn flick that represents a fabulous introduction to movies for Eddie Murphy.
