48 HOURS(1982):

The better(as usual in movies and sequels) of the two
movies, this is Eddie Murphy's debut movie! Very fun
to watch tho it does have some real slow moments!! B

From Amazon.com:

Before the action-oriented "buddy movie" formula
settled into place in the 1980s and 1990s with the
Lethal Weapon films, Walter Hill's 48 HRS. presented
a much more irreverent and politically incorrect version
of the genre. Eddie Murphy made an auspicious film
debut alongside veteran Nick Nolte's consummate
performance as a worn cop. Murphy plays a convict
on a two-day furlough from prison to help capture his
former partner (James Remar). The intense animosity
between his character and Nolte's impatient detective
is rude and violent--albeit in a comic way--and the
film's racist and sexist banter is so ubiquitous that
some viewers might be turned off. (This early, raw
Murphy is not the Murphy of The Nutty Professor.)
Then again, sometimes deliberate overkill is funny
in itself, which is certainly closer to Hill's intention.
There are a couple of scenes for the ages in this film,
especially Murphy's single-handed shutdown of the
action in a redneck bar. --Tom Keogh

Not as funny, but Nolte and Murphy are still
good together! This is after Murphy gets out
of jail and dudes are after him cause he can
finger the "Iceman"! Of course Nolte gets
involved cause he's after the Iceman! Played
mostly straight, this one has fewer laughs
but a pretty good plot! B

From Amazon.com

The boys are back in town, but they're wearing
their carbon-paper suits in this frantic but not
nearly as funny sequel to the action-comedy hit.
The first time around, the combination of Eddie
Murphy and Nick Nolte had the element of surprise
going for it: Who expected these two to have
chemistry? This time, chemistry is virtually all
they have in a veritable rehash of the first film.
What plot there is has to do with Nolte's needing
Murphy (who is just out of jail) to help him clear
his own name and save his job on the police
force. Director Walter Hill is back in place, but
this time the script is the work of action hack
Jeb Stuart and the movie barely gives Murphy
room to unleash his comic riffs; when he does,
we're expecting them (though he's still
entertaining). --Marshall Fine
