Sound he makes before going in the room that has the dagger


Eddie Murphy makes an animal like noise with his mouth before he's about to go in the room to get the dagger. I laugh at this every single time! I also laugh when he's in the plane and singing to the music on his headphones! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He reminds me of SNL era Eddie Murphy when he was super young and sassy.

That same sound used to be used in the Scooby Doo cartoons. It's probably what Eddie was thinking of when he made it.

reply

Yeah, that exactly what it always reminded me of too, Scooby Doo.

A lot of people don't like this movie, but it's one my "Early" Eddie Murphy favorites. I can't hardly stand him now, but he was flawless in the 80's almost. Seems like now he's trying too hard to be "80's Eddie" again and it just doesn't work. He tried to revive his Coming to America phase by doing "Norbit", which was terrible. "Haunted Mansion"(Bad, even for Disney)
"Adventures of Pluto Nash"(Wuh?) "Daddy Day Camp"(Not too bad) "Showtime"(Good comedy, but should've been made in the late 80's, early 90's) "I Spy"(I tried SO hard to like this one, but it sucked). "Dreamgirls"(His acting in that was actually good, but he acted like a baby when he didn't win the Academy Award for it). That new "Meet Dave" he's doing looks cute but could also be real annoying. I guess after the 2nd Nutty Professor, I just kinda gave up on ol' Eddie. I can watch his younger year movies and still laugh, but now, he's all washed up.

I always likened that sound to the ghostly wails from the intro to the Scooby Doo cartoons.

He's imitating the theremin, a bizarre electronic musical instrument that was used in old science fiction movie soundtracks (among other things). Check out this video:
