Beverly Hills Cop II/Amazing Grace and Chuck/Ishtar/The Chipmunk Adventure

Roger Ebert - Host: [reviewing "Beverly Hills Cop II"] This movie is high-tech, assembly line, movie-making by the numbers. It has no creativity, it has no acting, it has no humor...

Gene Siskel - Host: If they hire him, why don't they let him...

Roger Ebert - Host: That's right.

Gene Siskel - Host: Hire him, use him.

Roger Ebert - Host: This movie could've, you could've plugged anybody into this movie. And it would've been just as bad. Next movie. Our next movie is an idealistic fantasy named "Amazing Grace and Chuck". Maybe I'll calm down a little bit now, this is a, more of a calmer movie.

Gene Siskel - Host: Well, but you get ticked off because the guy is a star...

Roger Ebert - Host: That's right.

Gene Siskel - Host: ...And they misuse him completely.

Roger Ebert - Host: You're trashing him. Another four like this, and Eddie Murphy is gonna be in the same bag that Stallone is, uh, with movies like "Over the Top" and, uh, "Cobra". They're just gonna, they're gonna compartmentalize him. They're gonna take what's special about him and throw it out and turn him into just another ordinary assembly line action star.

Gene Siskel - Host: We're still angry.

Roger Ebert - Host: [to camera] Eddie Murphy is a COMEDIAN! He's not a violent action star! Don't trash him that way! Now, the next movie. What did I say it was? "Amazing Grace and Chuck".

Gene Siskel - Host: Still upset.
