Thats sad to hear as some of the best action films were made in the 80s and 90s and unlike todays movies, they wernt full of CGI effects.
Regarding it's success (or not) With the help of wiki,
"This particular title did make more than its original but it was considered a box office disappointment because the film was so costly, profits were minimized. Eddie Murphy accused Paramount of not spending enough on advertising and changing the release date & Paramount counter-alleged that Murphy didn't spend enough time promoting the film. This led to tension in the long-running relationship between Murphy and Paramount".
Yes, I read that wiki article.
Nothing terrible happened to me at that time, but still, movies made back then are so "80s" to me. There are a few exceptions I make -- like the Indiana Jones movies, and the BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy. It's mostly memories of the people I saw the movies with at the cinema -- people who I'd rather forget, lol.
