12 Terrible Movies That Killed An Actor's Winning Streak

3. The Distinguished Gentleman - Eddie Murphy

The Streak: Right out of the gate, Eddie Murphy had an untouchable run of movies, beginning with 48 Hrs and following with Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop and its sequel, The Golden Child, stand-up comedy film Eddie Murphy: Raw, Coming to America, Harlem Nights, Another 48 Hours and Boomerang. Even if his movies didn't always hit with critics, they always blew up the box office. Hell, even his stand-up comedy film made more than $50 million.

The Film That Broke It: Despite having enormous potential as a game political satire, The Distinguished Gentleman flopped with critics and did unimpressive business at the box office, ensuring that audiences wouldn't just lap up everything that Murphy served up, even though it certainly seemed that way for a while.
