    Overlong and poorly shot concert film of Eddie Murphy's one-man show. He may be a phenomenon as a movie star, but his stand-up routine leaves much to be desired — a foul-mouthed concoction trading on racial and sexual stereotypes that effortlessly offends majority tastes. Murphy's frenetic energy and virtual non-stop delivery is impressive, though, and his comic imitation of Bill Cosby is inspired. Directed by Hollywood Shuffle's Robert Townsend, this is for die-hard Murphy fans only. Watch out for an uproarious fictional prologue set in a 1960s Murphy household.

    As funny as I remember it from watching it waaaay back.

    Hilarious,despite first appearing on the big screen it 1987 'Raw'has not aged that badly and Eddie Murphy is on excellent form.

    If you haven't seen this before and are broad minded then WATCH THIS DVD as I am positive YOU WILL LAUGH.

    It is a shame that a lot more of his stand up acts (pre Beverly Hills Cop) were not recorded and I hope that the 'Delerious' concert is also released on DVD as I remember that being even funnier.
